The question is, why are so many sitting out in tournaments (at least on 888). I have a theory:
1. there must be a homepage or something that says you can even win some pennies or more, evn without playing a single hand.
2. there are small villages, where one has a celphone/internetconnection and it is shared between all of them

hello
I don't think they would have a small income because if they didn't meet them it wouldn't be like here in Hungary with a small population putin has been running the country for more than 15 years if he doesn't have a small income and I don't think they would vote less than here in Hungary gonodlom

yep, u can buy cards in any shops, most of them. most Russians know 3-5 different card games, not poker, not money games i mean.
yep. a lot of entertainment is dead (. PS and 888 only two places, who officially work in Russia. 888 have more freerolls promos than PS, so players actually choose )

I think it is a country much larger than most countries that participate in the poker rooms, more exclusively in poker stasr is always full of Russians different from the American, which in turn has fewer people, that is less Russians.

Probably due to sites focussing their efforts there since Black Friday seeing a large market possibility. Before Black Friday pokerstars was majority USA players and I don't remember seeing many Russian players at that time.

Because it is a big country and card games are very popular over there too. Casinos now only in Sochi and many gamblers switched to online poker I suppose.

Maybe the question should be why is less americans (south, central and north)
In most north america online poker is forbidden, south and central do not want/cant play in dollars. Europe is full of small countries and asia should have theyr own sites.
Hence lots of russians compared to the rest

Strange question.
I think you better think about other things, such as improving your skills. This will directly affect your results.

Let's remember that Russia is one of the largest countries in the world ... therefore without doing many mathematical calculations and without being an expert ... I can assume that there must be approximately a ratio of 3 to 10 ... that is, for each three of us Latinos there will be approximately 10 Russians ...

Ordinary Russian-speaking players - in general, these are people who are nice to see at the table, because these are people who do not play very well, these are people who like to play a lot of hands - loose, against. who is pleased to be in the bank.
Unfortunately, there is a small percentage of people from our Soviet past who associate poker with casinos and behave like casinos. Not everyone is polite, some raise their voices. But in Europe it was quickly stopped, and now in Sochi. A warning if the person insulted someone or yelled at the dealer. By the way, our players consider Brazilians to be the most frostbitten and want to play with them. Our brothers in poker when it comes to amateurs.
After the ban on online poker in most US states, the largest number on the Internet is represented by the CIS countries, somewhere around 35%. Of these, 90% are Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Russians and Ukrainians are now the main driving force behind online poker. And Belarusians in the [poker] world don't like it, because if Belarusians, then 99% are regulars. Unfortunately, the economy in Belarus is such that if a person comes to poker, he makes money, and does not have fun.

There is an answer to this question, it is multifaceted, it consists of many factors.
Firstly, it is certainly a huge country with a large population, unlike many European countries. In many Asian countries, poker is either banned or has their own poker sites. Many European countries have their own poker sites, including PokerStars. Therefore, not all countries are represented on PokerStars. And also many big countries like USA, China etc. do not play on PokerStars.
Secondly, during the Soviet era, gambling was strictly prohibited in Russia (USSR). But there have always been a large number of other players (not just poker) who gambled secretly. And in the evenings, especially on long winter evenings (do not forget that winter in Russia, especially in Siberia, is long), many played card games (not gambling), mainly children and young people. Since there were not many other board games, there were no board games like Monopoly, etc., there were no computers and the Internet.
Thirdly, in Russia and other countries of the former USSR there has always been and is a highly developed logical thinking and exact sciences.
Fourth, the income of the majority of the population is small, and any winnings in poker allow you to live on this money.
