When I used to play on Full Tilt and pokerstars, I noticed that the absolute worst calls came these countries. I could almost regularly predict where they were from based on how BAD their game was. Here's my top 5. Whats yours?
1- germany
2- brazil
3- canada
4- Any Northern European Country lol (Thanks Hellmuth)
5- USA....sorry fellow Americans

When ever I saw a few Russians at a table, I knew there was going to be some loose action. I miss seeing (Mockba) Moscow.

Assuming you're playing the micros/low limits, country doesn't matter, 95% of the players suck and locations don't matter on the severity of how much they suck.

I notice that a lot of European players play more hands and chase a lot of one outers.

Russia,Brazil,Germany,Romania,Lithuania.The list goes on but the limits seem to be the defining variable on how many bad players you encounter on a regular basis.It all relative to the limits but they are everywhere and from every country.In my opinion about 20 percent of the players are good players and 5 percent are great.

1. Russians
2. Italians
3. Swedes
4. South Americans
5. Americans, but Americans are mostly bad because they're passive fish rather than aggro donks.

to be honest russians are great but americans I found to be very predictable to play against. I always felt I knew where I was in a hand when I played mostly vs americans. Now its like alittle more varaince because europeans take such weird lines with hands, I can only explain this how I see this in cars.

America is like the mustang, fast, but plays in straight lines,
the europeans love the corners, but also like spinning dougnuts. your never quite sure were you are

Germany is a slight favorite over France for the #1 spot. After watching Max Heinzelman 5 bet Shaun Deeb in the 2011 Main Event with his A6 off and cracked Deebs AA, I had to move them to the top of the chart. This was one of the worst plays I've ever seen on TV. Honestly, wtf are you thinking in this position? You're willing to risk it ALL on a6 off against a solid player like Deeb? And then you spike trip 6's on the river to ko Deeb? AA was a 94/6 preflop favorite to win also lol. Typical German overaggressive terrible play and awful read rewarded once again.

Depends on the game. PO8, give me the USA to play against, the Europeans are usually MUCH tougher. Hold 'em,I think Europeans typically play a bit poorer then the average American.

However, like so many have said, there's bad players everywhere.

1. Russians
2. Any former member of the Soviet Union(ex. Moldavia, Belarus, Ukraine, etc..)
3. Any other Eastern European country INCLUDING Germany
4. Brazilians or any Latin American country
5. Spaniards
The French rank up there w/ the Ruskies, but they weren't allowed to play anymore so they are not included.

Just for the record:

Germany isn't Eastern European but Central European just as the US are not North mexico (at least most of it save New Mexico).

Btw... the whole idea of certain tendencies of players from certain countries is BS imo.
