America vs The World

Pokertron3000 · Sep 14, 2010

This is pretty much a case of confirmation bias, for example every brazillian and spanish player I play seem to just be really terrible and the ruskies really agressive and not it a good way, but the problem is I am playing micro stakes and I would guess most people here are playing lower stakes poker so everyone pretty much sucks in these games.

FYP. Plus Tony G is responsible for live tournament coverage as we know it today.

dont worry about americans, they think colluding is bad, unless they r from cape cod, west virginia or carolina

I resemble that remark, and I don't agree with it at all, lol.
I also don't agree with stereotyping, I think every country has good and poor players.

I have found that Russians and Chinese seem to run in packs and tend to soft play each other unless necessary.
I was at a 9 player table and 2 of the Russian players were seated next to each other and it was 50-60 hands before they even challenged each others blinds

Have you seen the international poker Win$/Loss$ by country? The US is the top of the leader board in losses.

Wouldnt this seem to be obvious as I would assume Americans make up the majority of the poker players on sites where they are allowed.

You can pick up betting patterns and style of play from anyone american, russian or chinese

stereotyping is bad for your game tho as even if you are right most of the time the times that you are not you will probably lose money

I check to see where people are from out of idle curiosity not to gain any specific read as usually unless u get a bad beat u can get a pretty good read on your table in 20-30 hands

and i'm british so I guess I dont come into any of your catagories and even if I did I would'nt care anyway (british stiff upper lip and all)
