hmm, interesting. I was never able to get what 888 flag on 888poker mean and now that.

Yep I've seen Russians to be really aggressive and wreckless online.I started playing live and found out they were the same way in person.. Don't know if that's a stereotype but they're definitely not my favorite people to play with for some reason they can always seem to make a hand out of any two cards..

I have genuinely never really stereotyped players of any kind. I'm young, 23 and I'd say other younger people I may give less credit too but even then I'd say thats mostly untrue anyway.

As a USA player, I find that Canada and Western Europe are usually tighter than we are, and the rest of the world is looser. But there are many individual exceptions.

What does the rest of the world think about players from the USA?
Are you glad we cannot compete on sites like PokerStars, Party Poker, or 888, because we are mostly tough players?
Or do you wish we were on those sites, because we are mostly fish?

To make this less harsh of an answer, the answer is yes for all nationalities.

Yeah, I was thinking. Depending on nationality, there are features in the game of poker. The South Americans played more aggressively and emotionally. Russians are playing like crazy.

I think british people (including me) are the most prone nationality to like to talk during the game.
