It is not correct to make general statements for a whole country. In every country there are good players and bad players. In countries where poker is relatively new as a game and there is serious interest about it there are many people who play hoping to get rich soon. These are in general bad players who do not want to take their time to learn and improve their game. If such country is big like russia or brazil it is completely normal to observe many players having no idea what they do especially in freerolls or micro stakes games.

Other effect that should be considered is that people from warmer countries are generally more temperament so they show more emotions which in general is not good for poker game. That's why germans for example and other northern countries have many good players.

Third aspect is that countries where playing poker is tradition and is not considered something bad have much better chance to develop more good players (like usa for example).

So it is combination of many factors. I personally do not care from which country is the player. I try to judge for his/her skills by their game.

The best players are from the US, but I don't really like players from Russia, Ukraine and Brazil.

there are strong and weak players everywhere, you can say to play reckless poker, but you can not say to play the wrong poker, because there are no strict rules in this game.

Some time ago I saw a lot of Russian players, most of whom were very good players. Brazilian players are good players too and recently I have met some very good ones from Kazakhstan, range dominance, betting dominance, a solid game in general.

While playing with the Brazilians, I noticed one peculiarity, they play very aggressively and often go to All in. But, these are just my observations. I think the elite of poker is proportionally distributed across all countries.)

What a difficult question.
I think different styles by country, yes.

I wouldn't use the phrase worst type of player, since players that constantly make poor decisions in poker are very exploitable. That would make them the best players to play against.

The players from Russia are very unpredictable and you have to be very careful. The weakest players I've seen are from the UK, Canada and Brazil

What Countries you think having better or worst poker players:joyman:
I think poker does not depend on the country, there are bad players and there are good players, but there is no bad or good country

I might be wrong but I think it was Gus Hanson who was being interviewed while here in the U.K at a tournament, and he was asked where it was better to play Poker, here in the U.K, or in the U.S,A,
He immediately answered The U.S.A. and when the interviewer asked Why? He replied there are more fish in the U.S.A.
Now I am not saying they are the worst players but in all honesty it is obvious that there is a huge difference between the size of the two Countries and their respective populations, and it only follows that if you have a larger player pool, then you get more fish, and this is what he was referring to.
In reality you cannot label a Country or it's population, who are the best or worst players, as you cannot possibly play against them all, even in some of the biggest tournaments, you are usually sat at a table with 7 or 8 players at a time, so when it comes to moving to a new table a big proportion of players have already been eliminated.
So to refer to a population as to being Best/Worst is being in itself racist, You only have to google to find some of the better U. K. players, Have you never heard of Sam Trickett, Rowland De wolfe, Jake Cody, and Stephen Chidwick just to name a few male players.
The biggest mistake Poker players can make is to underestimate their opponents, where ever they come from or what ever their gender is because I am sure there are a few Female player's I have not added.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

That's not a criteria that means much to me. Really never even look. More interested in how many hands, from what position and if they fold a lot.

Why not take the first 3 winners of the CC tournaments in the last 90 days, do the media and see what the proportions are, it's easy to find out ?!
