Which country do you hate the most from?
This is a fun one. Don't get offended, it's just a joke. Back before Pokerstars were forced to split players onto different sites due to legislation, lots of spanish etc used to play on stars. Back when I was bad, I used to hate playing Spanish. They were always "Q9o" fish.
But for fun, here is my list of countries and players
Brazil = Huge fish.
Latin America = Huge fish too. Spend too much time outside than crafting their game
USA= Mostly Huge fish too. For every pro, there are so many "I'm the sheriff in these hereeeee parts, and you won't be bluffing me today sunny jim"
Canada= HUGE fish. As bad as USA, altho I haven't played with Americans for ages since black Friday.
Thailand= Good reg. Clearly makes profit enough to fly out to Thailand to continue poker career.
China= Crazy fish, bluff loads and never fold.
Japan= Crazy fish, bluff EVEN more and never fold.
United Kingdom = Pre-corona = good. Post-Corona = Huge fish. They're all 1/2nl live "regs" who are break even/bad players live and get crushed online. Their local homegame turns out to be much easier than online and can't believe how "rigged" online is.
Austria= Aggressive, but some good players.
Denmark/Norway/Sweden/Finland = Each country gets more and more aggressive. Fins are the most crazy aggro ever. Maniac levels of bluff from them. Also balance with good players too. Players rated from "super aggro" right up to "LEEEEROYYY JENKINSS"
Spain= Huge fish like Latin America, just in Europe.
Belarus= Even their "fish" are crushing the game.
Russia= Surprisingly nitty. Do pull some crazy bluffs, but mostly they are not huge donators. They're small winning players/nits at 25nl and under.
Germany= Mix of good and bad, quite aggressive.
Eastern Europe = Mix of good and bad, mostly small winners. Can't afford to gamble like crazy idiots like some of the richer western countries.
Normally I do not like these breakdowns but have to admit I really enjoyed yours because it is so broad - many get the shellacking they deserve...
"I'm the sheriff in these hereeeee parts, and you won't be bluffing me today sunny jim"
Spot on.
Russian donkeys the ones that get passwords from sharing sites ..Which country do you hate the most from? or have you noticed that many players from one country play more aggressively than others
Wow, thanks for taking time for a such breakdown. This was very insightful and partially funny.This is a fun one. Don't get offended, it's just a joke.

I think it’s not much of a surprise, but from my experience I see Brazilian and Russian players being quite aggressive and bluffing more

Hello my table friend,
Creating a stereotype by country I think is wrong, I'm Brazilian and I've been through racism, being cursed, I could hate this country for that, but not generalize a nation for an individual.
I would even like to register that I copied the screen and sent my complaint about this racism, with curses to PokerStars support, including asking for the exclusion of the player, unfortunately PokerStars has not responded to me so far (more than a month).
So, I don't hate any country, and I'm sure that each player is an individual, to be aggressive or more moderate, it doesn't depend on the country but on each one.
Good luck!!
At first I thought he was talking to me, but actually he mentioned that it's been a month or more. I think he's talking about racism he experienced at the table from someone on pokerstars.
Yeah, seems so. You didnt curse him, so it can't be about you. But anyway, he was referring to your joke and concerned about rasism - I wouldn't connect those two things (rude guy on pokerstars cursing and a joke about nationals, where almost everybody is one or other kind of a fish ).
