Players and their countries

[valts102]

I dont like play vs finland players

 

[GDKavindu]

russian players They are hard to understand

 

[mtmigmike]

There are aggressive players from every country, but I think it depends more on the person than on the country

 

[fenoz]

There is no country that I do not like. There is only fortune that turns away from me)

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.

I completely agree with ur opinion about brazil , Russia and Belarus. Bull's-eye

With such a huge number of players and gamblers that had been emerging nowadays worldwide, a new game style has set massively on the poker tables. 'SA' (Stupid Aggressive). They are from any country. No matter which country my table opponents are from, I want to kill'em all.

 

[Hemified]

Here in the USA we have minimum places to play at live. And most are on indian reservations or in only certain states. And every1 thinks they are pro. Most people get mad because they lost.

Where they play the lottery that I found are from Russia and Brazil

Have you notice another 'Like' you've just received? I gave

 

[Kudi]

turkish players

good players

 

[billibooo]

I do not hate playing anyone because they are from somewhere in particular. I find slow players are the only ones that bother me, and really it is only a little bit. I just really love this game, and the players are a part of that.

 

[Andrei Korolev]

In my opinion, there are enough inadequate players everywhere and it's stupid to hate any country because of them...

You're right.
I perceive this recreational / amateur behavior in Chinese, Japanese, Brazilian, Peruvian, Mexican players. The Germans also have this mixed game. The Russians bluff in a rush, with rare exceptions. You have to be careful. Players from Finland, sweden, Denmark and austria, play seriously. I liked your comments, as I always paid attention to the way the participants in each country play. Congratulations on your comments and good tournaments!

Armenia players

 

[efranto2286]

hello I think the most annoying are. the Russians since there are many and some play crazy ...

 

[ObbleeXY]

1. Why hate a country?
2. Do you think that a country trains all its players the same way, like some sort of state sponsored poker ethics?
3. What makes you think all players from a single country play the same way? Russia is a massive country. canada too. Why would there be homogeneity in poker styles? I don't follow the logic.

with broad brush generalisations, I find only two types of player at pokerstars. Aggressive and Passive. Very few TAGS. Mostly LAGS. Most people play too many hands.

If a game becomes an all in fest, you just need to wait it out and push with your AA/KK/QQ. Sure, you'll get busted by 72o, but in the long run, you'll still win more playing AA/KK/QQ than pushing with 72o.

Don't worry about the short term. Make the right plays. Focus on long term.

That's right.
There's no sense at all to hate any country.

 

[tauri103]

i don't hate but i avoid playing against ukrainians when i can. in general eastern european players have a good level of poker play.

It's hard to avoid them. They're just at every table, at all games. Fight them all:fight:

 

[maxmaster10]

what is that?...i don`t think this refferences are good...

 

[jkersten]

I always lose of dutch players. (my own country).

 

[Liedust]

I don't know if I hate is the word I would use, but what does bother me is the amount of Russians who touch me at the tables sometimes. But I hate none.Regards.

 

[Rob Hobson]

In my point of view (MY POINT OF VIEW), despite it's not the thread aim or intention, for some, somehow, it sounds a kind of discrimination that should be avoid at any cost.
My definitive position is: I DO NOT CARE WHO IS AT THE TABLE PLAYING AGAINST ME, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TRY TO PLAY MY BEST POKER TO BREAK THEM ALL, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, OR WHERE THEY'RE COME FROM.

That's it. End of story.

I have long ceased to pay attention to the opponent's country. Players, good players and amateurs are scattered all over the world. Also, everything can change and from the height of the limit. And you can't judge only by freerolls and micro-stakes, at these levels only amateur players play with a small percentage of players with possible growth potential. Unfortunately, I only play at these limits so far, and at these limits up to 90% of players are players who play for fun.
