Very controversial topic to talk about the Russians, but I can say that they have a totally open game in their game making it difficult for them to read,

For those who are surrounded by poker players, they tend to be noticed by poker and learn it. I don't think it is about people's nationality, but rather countries as a poker environment, it is certainly there are more good players in countries where poker is a norm than where poker is a taboo.

Something in between Brazilians and Spaniards. The bulk of the player's hobby, but many unique and just good players, however, as elsewhere. And to all players of the community health and good luck in the game.

What is your opinion about Russian players at the tables? And how are we in general for you?)));):rolleyes::cool:

I think I didn't understand the question correctly, but I often see people complaining about the way Russians behave in the game. But for me it doesn't matter where the people at my table are playing from. For me they are just poker players and one plays better than the other. I also don't look where the people come from when I sit at a table because there is already so much bad talk about certain nations that I don't want my game to be influenced by it. And it won't. In every nation you can find people who play good poker and those who play less good or bad poker.

I feel good about the question, in freeror tournaments I almost almost get to a table with them unfortunately, there is no hand so that one of them wouldn’t be unlucky unfortunately, you can’t play a normal game from them!

When it comes to recreational players, I think Russian players mostly play aggressively. brazil players play similarly, but they are crazier.

In my experience, Brazilian players are more aggressive preflop and postop, but will slow it down or shut down on river (Flop play often is "go big or go home") They want to win the pot preflop or on the flop. Russian players are more tight preflop, but will barrel all streets. Once they are in the pot, they will fight for it on each street. Based on my experience. Of course there are few players who do not fit in this category.

the russian players are not to blame, for the president's joke, that god gave him, the russian players, the truth, in my point of view, I don't see it as something positive, but on the contrary, they are going through a negative moment , considering poker, and also that they have been eliminated, in sports worldwide, and also in the soccer world cup, the truth is, poker players, and sports, are not to blame. :cool:

Generalizations are difficult for sure, but I have noticed that many Russians are hyper-aggressive. This is a scenario I have seen many times in recent weeks and I've developed a strategy to exploit it. A player raises pre-flop and another calls. A Russian player puts in a big 3-bet. I call the 3-bet. The original raiser and caller fold and it's just me and the Russian to the flop. Almost 100 percent of the time the Russian c-bets the flop. If I have connected with the flop, I'll re-raise, and almost every time the Russian folds. If I haven't connected but the flop is dry, I'll call. After that, if the Russian checks the turn, it's almost a guarantee he has nothing and will fold if you bet strong. It doesn't always work, but I'd say its 75-80 percent effective and a great way to get some chips from an overly aggressive player, regardless of nationality.

I don't care whether you're from Russia or Fiji. In a game where we're all subject under the same rules, we're all the same.

I've heard a few times only about players from Brazil who sometimes seem to have more luck than others in online poker, although they play very sharply.
Otherwise, I do not think that much can depend on nationality. Players from Russia, as well as players from Belarus, Poland, the netherlands, canada, the USA and other countries, can have their own style, which is not always similar to the playing styles of their compatriots.

Perhaps because there were a lot of players from Russia? Therefore, it seems that the players of this country are strong. At present, there are probably practically no Russian players in online tournaments.

I think it does not matter what country a person is from and what nationality he is. each person has his own personality, which affects the style of the game.

There are no characteristic features due to nationality, a person either has certain qualities or does not, regardless of the nation. Everything else is speculation, excuses, or vice versa. Each person can be anyone, outstanding or otherwise, but every day, every time, we can be the best version of ourselves compared to yesterday or last time.

I was fine with it until last night. I've even been very vocal about being against bans. Last night in a $1K guaranteed tourney, I was in 20th place out of 76 remaining. I raised the mad Russian X 8 his flop bet and he shoved a flush draw. I had a set! Now I say ban all Russians!!!! LOL. JK. Their name was Bento something. BentoMM maybe. I was ready to invade at that point!!! :D:D:D
