What about norwegians? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In norway we have a high education level aswell, and everyone has access to the internet. Poker has gotten pretty big in norway, but I think not as big as in sweden. I also see alot of good swedes at the tables

Re: Question for Swedes
 

Norwegians own high limit HU poker don't they?

Re: Question for Swedes
 

I also frequent a norwegian pokerforum: pokersiden.no. The posters there mainly suck and likes to post badbeat histories or brag about how they turned their 50$ deposit into 250$ in one session. But there are also some high quality players, and most of them play high stakes limit.
I'm not sure if HU is their speciallity, but I know they play shorthanded

edit: I came across this site http://www.smartgambler.com/index.php?/smart/the_team yesterday and the guy named Lagerbord supposedly busted another high stakes limit player named Bengt for about 20.000$ playing HU a couple of days ago. I guess he can play some HU, hehe [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Not sure why swedish people tend to do better than other countries(generally) but I do know it's definetly not limited to only poker

Re: Question for Swedes
 

Commercials for poker sites every 15 min here on every channel. There is no education system except for newspaper culumns and a few magazines.
I dont know why linköping, but university city may be the reason.

Biggest reason of them all is I think the highly developed broadband here. Maybe more than half of the swedes got between 0,5 and 100Mbit.

Depends on how you define doing better.
Statistics show that the average swede lose about 1k/year playing poker, but of course thats a fact for every other country as well.
