In my opinion, it is difficult to play against Brazilians because they are very aggressive and fearless

When russia was aloud to play I found them very aggressive to play against.
Judying by this thread they are still allowed to play btw ...
This would explain why so many have mentioned them eventhough for the last 12 months they have literally only featured in sites like ACR, replay and some other weird rooms (alongside their own domestic poker rooms) :unsure:

Brazilians are very aggressive with loose aggressive superiority. Ukrainians last couple days are tough.

This is the answer that I gave to other mate who said the same that you say, so, take a look.
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.
😘
I belive Russia is so good in chess because they thought them at school at early age while in the same time they trying to mix kids thoughts and believes and completely ruin their emotions by telling them than can be any gender they imagine ….

I belive that in some countries the head of education going to president or leader or dictator with idea to reform education by putting extra subject at school about genders risking his own life.

You cant judge by nationality :D
Seems like Poker is booming right now in South America especially brasil. At least on pokerstars there are many more Brasilians than it used to be. Could be a reason why many in this threat have the feeling they are hard to beat. Because there are many of them in the player pool and sooner or later you run into one of them in a bad spot and you get crushed.
A year back when russians were still allowed to play on stars it was similar with them.

I think every country has its own talented players. It does not depend on the country, but only on the player himself.

America of course! The country that made poker famous, it is no coincidence that most of the famous players are from America!

Russians and Brazilians are the hardest to beat, they are too tough, but when they get the chance, they break them in two.🤣🤣
Yes, the russians:poop: are cruel in blood, it's a good thing they are banned from playing poker stars until they become people who respect and honor life and liberty and the values of free people

Which one you think is the country with the best players you play against.
In my opinion Brazilian and Polish people give mi great fights!
I aggree . Very many able Brazilian players .
Very many of them also have a quite unconventional playstyle so it's hard to determine what they are actually holding .
Could be garbage could be a monster, place your bets nobody knows !🤣

I don't really care what country a player is from, it doesn't really matter. It's important that he give me his chips :D . I look at the rest of the comments and answers like "Brazil" "germany" "Russia", there are usually a lot of these players and that's probably why they are so great. However, for me, every opponent is the same, regardless of experience or nationality.

Yep, there are also many players, but if you look at the statistics from 2 or 3 years ago... the majority of players in the prize zone were russian... it means that it is not only quantity, but quality.

To be honest, I'm not interested in where the people at my table come from. If they play good poker then I have respect and respect for people like that. I also never listen to such things as being careful that you have this or that nationality at your table. That doesn't matter to me, I would like to play in peace without any ulterior motives due to origin, or anything else like that.

Good morning everyone, this is a question that is a little difficult to answer, because in each country there are very good players and recreational players.
In my opinion, the country with the most recreational players is the United States, as there are many players who play poker for fun and are not so concerned about making money as it is a country where its inhabitants receive high wages.
The country with a large number of players who take poker as a profession is Brazil, it has a very large number of poker teams, they explain how to play and give you the bankroll to play and in exchange you share the profits with these teams .

Today many countries have good players. Nowadays the most difficult adversaries are Germans, Canadians and British. My fellow mates of Brazil are getting very good but ireland, Spain, Russia and Hungry all have top level players.

It must be admitted that the gap in the United States, where poker was invented, is so large that it is unlikely to be reduced in the near future. Poker in the USA is not just a game. Here it was invented, developed over several centuries, promoted, groomed and cherished. This is a true national treasure of America.As you know, now live poker dominates in the USA. The federal center gives the states wide powers, including the regulation of gambling. Each state deals with gambling in its own way, in Utah and Hawaii it was banned, in the rest it is legalized in one way or another. casinos are also allowed on Indian reservations. Most gambling establishments are, of course, in the state of Nevada. Hundreds of thousands of Americans visit Vegas every year, and the wsop brings together the cream of the poker community from around the world, but most of the bracelets remain in the homeland of poker.
