In consequence of the fact that of 21 March 2016 returned to the U.S., I chose to play against the Russians. In my opinion the Russians will soon be on pokerstars. The poker room they have, next year will forbid to play not Russian rooms. This is only my thinking.

This is also my experience with the Russians at the tables. Being aggressive and raising with almost everything and usually hitting a 1-10 outer on the river or sometimes on the turn. But besides the luck that they seem to have in my opinion they are not better than any other nationality at the tables and accordingly there are a lot of Russian fish out there. But that doesn't mean that you have to flop the nut or have a monster hand to beat them. You can have a good read on those kind of players easily after you see theirs tendencies.

Poker involves all the playing styles possible. Anyone that doesn't want to play against a particular style is limiting their game and will hamper their development. (Granted .. sometimes it's preferable to play at softer tables ... but do this always and you'll become soft)
Anyway ... online there's not much in the way of tells, all just stats and numbers. But! hover over your opponents who are in blind(s)\button and you'll see my favorite online tell .. "Nationality: Russian".
Our Russian friends will put you to the test so make sure you're playing comfortably within your BR.

Russian to me never made a difference, play aggressive, but like everywhere they also make mistakes, I'm not afraid to play against Russians, my question was ... what's the opinion of all in relation to play against the Russians, and not that I did not like or would be afraid to play against any of them

I think it's not the nationality that affect this type of question. It has some Russians playing well but the poker, but has a lot more that are pretty crazy. But I think these fools have to play so, so they spew more chips lol.

when I play poker I am rarely look at the nationality, as every poker player is an individual and each plays its own way. I have not seen the players who play the same style of play. just all depends on the player's style.
