I do not find players from one or more nationalities, any harder to play against. They are all hard or easy, depending on the decisions I make.

I totally agree with Andrew Popov. In poker it's all about information. Different countries have different mentalities and, more importantly, different education systems. So if a player is new to you, this is the only information you have. But the more you play with him/her the more it becomes unimportant.

I think that the ability to play poker does not depend on nationality

Yes! It is true. In the great majority of tournaments the Russians and Brazilians dominate the field. There is a high percentage of players from these countries, compared to other areas.

I am Brazilian.
The nationality that I have most encountered and played as opponents are the Russians and Eastern Europe.

Russians and brazilians

Not always taking a look at them, but sometimes and that seams to be the most I see at the tables.

Ukraine also and some other countries ex-members of what was know as URSS or USSR or CCCP

Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Canada - mostly - but I also often find people some from argentina, mexico and Uruguay. I don't like playing against Russians, they call with negative EVs and get their runner runner way too often.. lol

It all depends on when you play
After 14:00 hours, players from the CIS countries usually play/ and already in the evening the number of players is increasing, :D:mad::mad::):)

A really good question and one I was going to ask!

Given that I largely play freeroll tourney my opponents in order of nationality are usually the following:

1. Russia
2. Ukraine
3. Brazil
4. Canada

Russians tend to play very tight I find while together with Ukraine are happy to go the whole way to the river seeking flush/straight card (and usually getting it) regardless of what other players are doing ...just my observation :D
