I am Russian and was born with cards in my hands! Since childhood, card games have been my favorite. Probably because we did not have computers and the Internet. But when I found out that you can play for money, I was just happy. :party:

online poker is pretty popular in Russia, and many players there don't have an extensive bankroll to play at the higher limits, so they usually play microstakes and freerolls, which might be why you are seeing so many of them.

There would be more Americans than anything else, but they can t play online. There are many Brazilians, germans, Chinese, Canadians. Think of those long freezing winters in Russia. Not much else to do.

Cost of living is about 1/4 that of the US or Western Europe. It's easier to make a living playing poker if you live there.

strange reply...
the greatest area doesn't mean the greatest population
Russia by population is only 9th.

Russians are game lovers starting to learn and they are very brave or inexperienced who call with any hand, even if it is not a quality or strong hand, that's how there are so many Russians there are also excellent ones from all over the world, luck and welcome to the world of poker, may the positive variance be with us ,,

Russians

For me this makes no difference if Russians seem to play more then any other country. It just seems like that, who knows for sure what the percentage of Russians on Poker stars is. Just play your game and do not worry what countries are playing and have fun. Capo1014

The total tournament winnings of players from different countries and the rating of the most successful poker powers.

1 Canada: $ 620,125,009.
2 Germany: $ 471,935,599 ...
3 France: $ 465,050,455 ...
4 Italy: $ 326,588,715 ...
5 Australia: $ 283,346,231 ...
6 Russia: $ 258,702,268. ...

Russia is in sixth place and in the rake charts Russia is in ninth place. So there are a lot of Russians only on freerolls and wet stakes, and the higher the buy-in, the fewer Russians, perhaps this is somehow connected with the economy in the country.

good question, they are everywhere. I imagine that it is among the most popular games in Russia and as it is a large country there are more players.
and most of them play well

Seriously, I have never seen if they are Russian, German, Latin, Asian, it is something of little importance when I play poker, since it does not matter where you are from since the rules apply to everyone equally. Regarding whether the Russians are more or less intelligent, there must be everything as in any part of the world.
