OT: what would really kill sitngo profitability
Answer
Letting the chinese population get in on the action. Once they figure out there is a way to make more than 20 cents an hour by playing a game we are all dead. Thank god for an oppressive communism government keeping our games as fishy as possible. |

I'm not saying they wouldn't be, but what makes you think the chinese will all be so good at poker? [/ QUOTE ] this is something im always unsure about. is it still racism if its a good thing about the race? like the obvious implication is that chinese people are good at math, which is a stereotype that people like to bandy about. it's essentially a positive thing -- being good at something can't really be bad. but it's still racist, isn't it? it's like saying black people have big penises (penii?), or are good at basketball. it's positive, but i'm pretty sure it's still racist. |

They won't be in general. I think he's just saying there will be more of them playing for profit since a low limit poker income for them is worth more than in the west.
Where do they get their BR from though lol. |

Re: OT: what would really kill sitngo profitability
The Chinese culture has embraced the concept of "luck" for a very, very, long time. It's very important to be lucky, and to do things that bring good luck, and to avoid things that bring bad luck. When a large number of people who believe in luck get ahold of the ability to play poker against me, it can only be highly profitable. It would be just like the Orleans, except I could multitable.
There's a difference between culture and race, people. |

[/ QUOTE ] how many people in china have the discretionary income to play poker unprofitably? how many people in china have the ability to work their way up through the micros? I think OP has a great point. |

Re: OT: what would really kill sitngo profitability
"ike the obvious implication is that chinese people are good at math"
Because they study hard... "it's like saying black people have big penises" Blacks and caucasians are about the same, other races are a little smaller. "or are good at basketball" Look at the other top bball countries, they're mostly white. All of these sorts of things are cultural, not racial. |
