Yes, you're right, but I'm not talking about the nature of the people, for example in soccer, doesn't matter where you were born to be a good soccer player, if you got the skills, you will shine anyway in any country! but you can't deny that actually are countries with better teams than others.

Yes, it is true, but poker is a mental game, not a physical one, and it is practice, not talent

Russians and Germans, not that they play well, they have more luck, I think they are given more cards because they are the countries with the most players on pokerstars

As for the Brazilian players, I will say this: there are a lot of them and they stand out from the rest with their aggressive play. I saw a picture somewhere (attached) that jokingly said "Poker school in Brazil". No offense to the players from this country, but at low stakes their aggression is often excessive and the joke becomes relevant.

I am not sure that poker skills have something to do with the nationality of the player. But I have noticed some particular ways of playing in relationship with the nationality. For example the canadians often want to be involved in a lot of hands, the brazilians often have a very aggro game. But the nationality is clearly not the first information I look for at the poker table.

Generalizing an answer is quite serious because it involves many criteria to give certainty of a specific nationality over others. I will still venture to answer that the Russians are "difficult to beat" because their game is orthodox and disciplined. Latinos have that 'something' that takes us to the finals of each tournament without fail. On the other hand there are the Americans who have a heritage of high stature and great players. Like I said, generalizing is hard but that's my humble opinion.

Hi.
There are many strong players from different countries. It is not correct to highlight only one country because it will not correspond to reality.

Ok, so I'm going to give an example even easiest to understand! You said that we can't compare soccer with poker because poker is a mental and not a physical game, so: In this picture you can see Wich country has the most chess champions in the world, the first one is Russia, it doesn't mean that if you were born in Russia you will be a chess champion, but you can't deny that in that country exists more people who play better chess than in other countries, it's the Real Life, I'm not trying to be racist, nationalist or fascist, I'm just showing the truth, and this happen not only in chess, it happens in all the sports, in science and even on technology.
It depends of the culture of the country, the traditions, education and a many more factors! As I say, I'm not being nationalist, just showing the truth of THE REAL LIFE
That's the link that I made the screenshot, but you can find more information in any page.

Is the world chess champion Russian? Or is he from norway??? Not with many players and practitioners, but with heroes and skills👍🏻Ok, so I'm going to give an example even easiest to understand!

In my opinion, the most competitive and difficult players both live and online, are American players, a variety of styles and always very risky and aggressive, secondly I think the most competitive players are Canadians and finally Brazilians
