momasaidnokuout · Aug 24, 2011

When I used to play on Full Tilt and Pokerstars, I noticed that the absolute worst calls came these countries. I could almost regularly predict where they were from based on how BAD their game was. Here's my top 5. Whats yours?
1- Germany
2- Brazil
3- Canada
4- Any Northern European Country lol (Thanks Hellmuth)
5- USA....sorry fellow Americans

When ever I saw a few Russians at a table, I knew there was going to be some loose action. I miss seeing (Mockba) Moscow.

fletchdad · Aug 24, 2011

Any country I happen to be playing from will top the list as long as I am online-----------

iamhukleberry · Aug 24, 2011

hmm i guess

every country has there share of loose cannons

absoluthamm · Aug 24, 2011

Assuming you're playing the micros/low limits, country doesn't matter, 95% of the players suck and locations don't matter on the severity of how much they suck.

RUSSIANS!

Not only are they huge donks but they are so lucky grhh.

troutpw · Aug 24, 2011

my list would have to be
1) Russians
2)Lithuanians
3)U.K
4) USA
since black friday and the shut down of FTP I have seen more and more migration to the USA friendly sites.

Russia,Brazil,Germany,Romania,Lithuania.The list goes on but the limits seem to be the defining variable on how many bad players you encounter on a regular basis.It all relative to the limits but they are everywhere and from every country.In my opinion about 20 percent of the players are good players and 5 percent are great.

baudib1 · Aug 24, 2011

1. Russians
2. Italians
3. Swedes
4. South Americans
5. Americans, but Americans are mostly bad because they're passive fish rather than aggro donks.

CheckraiseLife · Aug 24, 2011

to be honest russians are great but americans I found to be very predictable to play against. I always felt I knew where I was in a hand when I played mostly vs americans. Now its like alittle more varaince because europeans take such weird lines with hands, I can only explain this how I see this in cars.

America is like the mustang, fast, but plays in straight lines,
the europeans love the corners, but also like spinning dougnuts. your never quite sure were you are

pcgnome · Aug 24, 2011

How come nobody remembers the Frenchies?

momasaidnokuout · Aug 25, 2011

Wow, how could I forget the FRONKS?????? I totally botched my chart....
Heres my new one:
1- Germany
2- France
3-Canaduhhhhhh
4-Brazil
5-Any Northern European Country!

Ernster86 · Aug 25, 2011

1. Russians

Notable mentions:

China
Germany
Canada

momasaidnokuout · Aug 25, 2011

Germany is a slight favorite over France for the #1 spot. After watching Max Heinzelman 5 bet Shaun Deeb in the 2011 Main Event with his A6 off and cracked Deebs AA, I had to move them to the top of the chart. This was one of the worst plays I've ever seen on TV. Honestly, wtf are you thinking in this position? You're willing to risk it ALL on a6 off against a solid player like Deeb? And then you spike trip 6's on the river to ko Deeb? AA was a 94/6 preflop favorite to win also lol. Typical German overaggressive terrible play and awful read rewarded once again.

Vollycat · Aug 25, 2011

Depends on the game. PO8, give me the USA to play against, the Europeans are usually MUCH tougher. Hold 'em,I think Europeans typically play a bit poorer then the average American.

However, like so many have said, there's bad players everywhere.

pcgnome · Aug 25, 2011

1. Russians
2. Any former member of the Soviet Union(ex. Moldavia, Belarus, Ukraine, etc..)
3. Any other Eastern European country INCLUDING Germany
4. Brazilians or any Latin American country
5. Spaniards
The French rank up there w/ the Ruskies, but they weren't allowed to play anymore so they are not included.

Just for the record:

Germany isn't Eastern European but Central European just as the US are not North Mexico (at least most of it save New Mexico).

Btw... the whole idea of certain tendencies of players from certain countries is BS imo.
