Message: [QUOTE="Moonchild, post: 3342493, member: 148986"] I'm loving your post sue!:party: It doesn't happen that much that I LOL reading this forum, but I did with you. In a good way! Not only are you a chatty American female player from a very large family:eek: , you're a funny one too! I think that's not that typical American characteristic, looking at the recent elections in your country. :p That being said: I'll post a part out of the article I found online (you can see the whole link in my other post) on this subject. Seemingly my questions weren't that crazy after all. :p "[I]After observations made by the people at Everest, they have concluded a player’s nationality can have a profound affect on their playing style. Everest Poker's European Event Coordinators spent the past 6 months observing the characteristics of each nationality during poker tournaments, both at live events & online, to see if National characteristics are visible in the way countries play the game. Now for the interesting bit: their findings! [B]Sweden [/B]- Robert Dahlström, Everest Poker's Swedish Event Coordinator, said Swedish players tend to be very aggressive and enjoy taking risks. 'Sweden was one of the first countries where the online poker boom really took off so they have had a head start,' he said. [B]Spain [/B]- The Spanish are new to the game but are catching on fast. Paloma Benito, Everest Poker's Spanish Event Coordinator said this is due to the fact that many Spanish poker players come from a chess background and their analytical skills are very strong. 'This is not what other Nations expect from the Spanish and as a result Spain is quickly becoming one of the stronger poker playing nations in Europe,' Benito said. [B]Germany [/B]- Poker is also relatively new to Germany, but players in this country often play above their skill level to gain valuable experience. 'Thousands of poker books that have been sold in 2007 and they take their learning very seriously. German players often prefer to play against the professionals, knowing they will lose some money, in order to gain experience,' said Olaf Schimpf, Everest Poker's German Event Coordinator. [B]UK [/B]- Ed Pownall, Everest Poker European PR Manager, stated: 'Like the national stereotype, players from the UK are reserved and cautious, especially early on, and take their time to get into a game. While this can be a good tactic, if there are particularly aggressive players the lack of risk-taking can cost the Brits in tournament play,' he said. [B]Italy [/B]- Be wary of the Italians, said Marco Trucco, Everest Poker's Italy Event Coordinator, because their poker players tend to be 'quite impulsive and unpredictable.' Their tendency to be loose and bluff often comes from their mastery of Italian 5-card draw. 'Italian players love the action, rate super-aggressive players and play to win big,' Trucco said.[/I] One remark about that: it could be that they learn from each other. I think lots of people tend to support people from their own country, follow them more, watch them more, read more in their own language, so maybe that's a factor when it comes to similarities. Okay, and then something to close this post with: Since you're also a girl/lady/woman (whatever you prefer) ... you might want to have a look at another thread I made about MTT's just for women (yep ... genderrelated this time:o ... you might get :eek: now ... one could think I put everyone in boxes ... I think I don't, but I can't forget the template thing) -> I'm curious about your findings on that subject too: [url]https://www.cardschat.com/forum/general-poker-13/all-girls-womens-mtts-308552/[/url] [/QUOTE]
