I'm very interested to hear from you why you think so?
After all, there are players from Russia who have achieved excellent results

there are not many poker players in Ecuador for being a small country ... russia has a lot more inhabitants and that is why there are many players online, pokerstars freerolls are invaded by russian players, but when a latino enters a freeroll Russian you do not like it !! , all Russian poker sites are racist, For example, GipsyTeam is an extremely racist Russian page, here on CardsChat no one is racist and its moderators, this is a very respectful page and open to everyone, that's why CardsChat is the number one.. if 1,000 players enter a freeroll ... 850 are Russian

you went into the topic and immediately insulted all Russian players, but that received several arguments about the fact that before calling ALL Russian players fish give an example of at least one good player from your country, there is no racism! Just pointed out your incorrect behavior

To say that they are maniacs and Fish to play is no insult !!

they are very maniac because has cash back-ul very very big !

Thats ...... 5th or 6th thread with this title on the forum from time to time russian members of CC make it. why you asking this? Is this really so interesting what other think about russian players? And noticed one thing (!) very important thing - you asking "what do you think about russian players" but dont want to hear nothing bad! I want to ask something too, why do we need to think something about any player from any country? It doesnt matter where are players from! Play poker and enjoy playing poker

I think the same !! ... they ask questions of the same thing and when someone tells them what someone thinks they get angry !! ... what do you want me to tell you ??? that are wonderful playing !!! ... so far the best poker players are in the US not in Russia

I can only say that in any country there are fish and good players. You do not even have to argue. Just Russians have a lot in poker and always remember bad things. I have on pokerstars marks on inadequately played players. The tags are for Russians, Brazilians, Canadians and players of other countries.

Guys, please stop being rude to each other.
I notice a large group of Russian players in the pokerstars freerolls, fine with me.
In every freeroll you'll find loose & agressive players, variance will deal with those.
I think the last winner of 1 million USD in the pca was from argentina; that's south america. From time to time she playes quite agressive and loose, as she won it must be good; when done at the right time.

So many bad words there...

There are more than 5 threads asking the same and the same and the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why then the user from Ecuador does not consider it insulting to call the players maniacs and fish, but when someone says that players from South America are playing inadequately (and this is 90% of the cases true) they think that they were offended

Guys, I did not expect this discussion to begin here
In any case, I understood all of you)))

If you do not like to listen to criticism then you did not ask in a forum where the opinion is free, if you want to hear compliments or praise your questions you are asking in the wrong place!... I do not know why they always ask the same question ... (what do you think about the Russian players ???)

If you do not like my question, then why did you come and answer it? You are so stupid write about my question))))
Do not forget, please, that in Ecuador the population is 16,385,068 people, while in Russia the population is 146,804,372 people, do you feel the difference?

mackmasterss (https://www.cardschat.com/members/mackmasterss/)!And to be aggressive players in poker is it really bad? And it does not matter whether you are from Russia or not, maybe the reason for the negativity in your bad game?

Ranich625!!! Good evening I see you from Belorussia in what city you live?

If you do not like the answers then do not ask! ..

Nobody wanted to offend you just a man asks the opinions of different people about poker players from their country that's all !!!

There are both good and bad players. The most successful probably Ivan Demidov

Ecuador a small country if it has a champion of the world series of poker in 2007, has 2 brazalestes is called Carlos Mortensen and is Ecuadorian

"Maniacs" and "fishes" isnt insulting in any cases! Thats poker terms used to describe type of poker player or poker player style. Term "inadequately" isnt use for this! So, me personally cant find how he insult someone here.

Forum CC looks like a big dirty warehouse
Here, as you said above, there are many identical topics (which no one unites in one topic)
many do not want or do not know how to search for the same topics
Therefore, new topics are opened

in my opinion, not only in Russia "strange" players, but in other countries too

I think that in every country there are good players and bad players. Obviously in Russia online poker is experiencing growing popularity lately and there are many players who think that earning big money for small time is easy in this game. Their underestimation of the game difficulty combined with overestimation of their capabilities and expectations for quick money makes them play strange and they become aggressive when their goals are not met. This is something that is normal in every country which starts to experience the poker fever if i can say it this way. I have seen it in Bulgaria also long time ago. Considering that Russia is a big country with many residents it is normal to see relatively big wave of such players in the freerolls. I personally am not mad at them. At the end most of them will get out of the game when they see that there is no easy money as they thought and the other will try to improve their game. Same can be said about Brasil and other big countries experiencing the poker fever.


My advice is - let them play. There is place for everybody in the sea no matter fish or sharks but we definitely do not need only sharks.

Oh there is no need to shout that all fishy with Russia .I myself am from Russia and ride very adequately , in each country there is a fish. It depends on the person and not on the country in which he lives . And the aggression from the Russian players comes from the low wages on the basis of which demolishes the tower )

In my beginnings of online poker I have danced a lot of game Russian and Brazilian players, however I see with admiration and I have learned from them, here in CC I even have friendship with great and good players. Remember a famous phrase "It's not the cards, it's the player and the way he plays them"

I think there are many Russian poker players of excellent calibre. I have heard that they have a reputation for collusion. But, you know, I do not really go along with statements like that without proof. The Russian, Canadian, Brazilian and United Kingdom players truly offer some of the best playing moments I have had online.

I am going to say now, and please take it as gospel, that I play online as a way of practising for live events. I do things online that I would never do at the casino or with some of my poker playing friends. Now, I know there is a lot of differences between online and live playing, but that does not really matter to me.

What matters to me is how the other players play against me.

Particularly, and I will keep this to the Russians, I find they are pretty gutsy with their bluffs. I find at times that they are pretty fast to go all-in pre-flop to scare off their opponents, and often they aggressively try to steal the pot at the flop.

I find also that they are pretty good slow players when they want to be. By this I mean that they often will allow others to build up the pot while they are sitting back and holding high pairs which they do not show until the river.

And, often, of course, this style of play, chancy or whatever, allows them to walk off with the chips in the pot. In other words the Russians, not all of them, but some are fairly well-rounded players who mix up their playing style.

Playing against the Russians can be quite interesting. Call their bluffs at your own risk online because, while there are some tells, it is not the same as playing live where the reads are far more visual. It is the same when the Russians try to take the pot at the flop. Is it a bluff or does the opponent really have something? I have seen it go both ways many times. I like how the Russians mix it up.

So that is my take on Russian players. Some can be pretty damn interesting and enjoyable to play with. Are they better than Canadian, Brazilian and United Kingdom players? At times, yeah, they can be. But, in the end, I think it all evens out online because, let's face it. There are some pretty damn good players from those other countries too.

And, that, more than anything else, is what I want online. Like I said, what matters to me is how the other players play against me. I like it lively. I like it real. I like the practise.

I damn hope not, I am the captain of the "Maniacs".......I guess I need to keep an eye out and make sure I don't except anyone into the league, who might not like being called a "Maniac"

It is defined in a word MANIAC. lol

Why are players from Russia suddenly so interesting? Russophobia is sweeping across the poker forums? No more topics to discuss? We have normal players-some are better, some are worse than Americans-everything in the world is relative! That's the only thing to know when asking such stupid questions!

Hi.
Among the Russian players there are a lot of very many very strong players, and this is especially noticeable in online games. You need to be very attentive when playing poker at a table with Russian players.
Good luck.

HA HA HA. Mark. The main maniac. time will tell

To be honest, there are fish everywhere and often when you least expect it..

I love weak fish..let them play, they provide me with bounties and prize money.

I think it is unfair to just aim this at one country. Its just maths that Russia floods the markets due to its size and popularity of poker in that country

Russians are divided into categories - it all depends on which tournaments they are used to playing. The sng are real maniacs.

Yes, Russophobia here, Russophobia there, Russophobia everywhere If you payed any attention at all, you would have noticed that this thread was started by a Russian member. One is fishing for compliments, another one is jumping and blaming others without reading the original post. Smart.

Are not bad Russian players, here on CC very good, it may seem to some gamers that there are many Russian players in the poker stars (mostly), but the fact is that there are no francs, spain, italy player, and also no player from USA, and because It seems that the Russian player has too much.

A lot of people from Russia on the PS. So the number of new players like me and experienced players does not differ much. Probably...

I don't have an opinion of Russian players as a whole but I will say that Nikita/Mikita Badziakouski made a heck of a showing a the SHRB this week.

I thought it was interesting that he became less stoic at the final table. Relaxed after making the final table? Fatigue? Not sure, but there was definitely a change.

To give an opinion about players from Russia, it should be taken into account in what level we are participating with them, if they are low and medium snow, by my expereince, in my opinion they must have two fundamental things: either they have a lot of money or they just play for fun, because I've seen crazy moves, like going all in before a for bet, with hand like 72 etc. That is to say that they are manic players, and the bad thing that most of the times destroy our best hands.

Will see! Gl&hf

I've seen alot of bad players from russia, some very good players. But it's the same anywhere, there's tons of fish from my country lol

For me, all the players are normal for the game and from other countries, too, just everyone plays differently, I noticed that if the tournament is free, then they play almost everything like fish, and so do not think about other players badly or well, just need to play and enjoy games and money if you can win!

Just play and do not think about other players, try to win money and raise a good bankroll if you are good at it, I wish good luck to all players from all countries!

I wonder if there is a difference between the players from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus and so on. Or do all the players from the former Soviet Union count as Russians?

Are there any differences in the style of the game?

For me it does not matter who is from which country, but there are many evil and rude players from Russia who indecently swear with each other.

I think they play poker like all of us, are more aggressive in their strategies, some win, and some of them lose, this in poker is more than normal

Guys all country have fish and shark. Be responsible before targeting any country. we all in decent world to respect each other and grow.
