Message: [QUOTE="Dunc8b, post: 3341097, member: 200599"] [I]"templates are always useful, but are never a total coverage. They relate to reality as a skeleton for a living body. "[/I] As you put this in quotes I would be interested in who you were quoting. I have a criticism of your observations, or rather your presentation of your observations. You seem to be only dealing in male characteristics. I'd find it hard to agree that italian woman are "macho" for example. While the majority of players are male more and more women are playing. Arguably because when playing online there isn't an immediate gender bias from the other players. Though player names do give a big clue sometimes. But my own observations suggest that relying on player names and/or avatar photos is not reliable. I have an alternative nickname and avatar on William Hill (I think) because i was curious to see if I would be able to detect a change in how others played against me. That experiment stalled because of a shortcoming in my own poker skills :D I think that the opposite may be true in that there are women that are selecting gender neutral names or "male" names to anonymise their gender. But I am digressing I think. My Vote was that I don't bother looking. If someone is playing aggressively then I do sometimes check their details as displayed in the game. When I do this I tend to find some conforming to your observations in that it'll typically be a player from the former soviet block who is playing very aggressively with all-ins with cards I would have folded. But not always and that experience is not enough for me to say "all soviet players are..." That recklessness usually doesn't keep them in the game for long. It's just matter of waiting a while and not getting sucked into playing a hand you should have folded. Finally, as I should be in bed and do have work in the morning - are you sure you are from Belgium? [I]"...not that chatty, ..."[/I]??!! Could talk the hind-legs off a donkey, as they say round my way. :) I look forward to more of your postings [/QUOTE]
