It might be the stakes and time of day but on the micro stakes I find the reverse .  I was in the Pokerstars school masters yesterday which is real micro stakes ($0.25).  That had 354 players with 81 Russian players making up almost 23% of the field.  There were only 33 Brazilian players making approximately 9% of the field.  There were only 13 UK players making up 3.6% of the field.  Population size we are a lot smaller but thought we had a lot of poker players.  Germany was quite prominent for there size with 34 players making up another 9.6%   Ukraine was v popular in the tournament with 59 players too making up 16.6%  The whole of Canada only made up 24 players.  I think possibly more expensive games I have notice more Brazilian players but do not now how the ratios pan out.  It would be interesting if America could play what percentage of games they took up as they are absolutely massive.

Russian and Ukraine did well bagging the top 3 places, then Ukraine bagging  the next two.  I managed to get the UK in 7th and a player from Canada and Greece made the final table so a fair mix in the end.

I often play at the $20-$50 range, which I think has a more mixed proportion of countries. It makes the conversation more interesting as I cannot speak Russian and google translate does not seem to work with it.  Fortunately a fair proportion of Russian players speak in English at the table.
