english way of betting
 

(I don't know if this belongs under "psychology")
Have anybody else notice that englishmen have different style to bet?
(No Limit MTT)
- if there is a situation which justifies pot size raise, an englishman raises 2xpot
- if there are two or more limpers but no raise, an englishman at the BB raises like crazy and collect bets without flop

Please tell me more about the vampires.

BTW - I think Turkey is a strong contender for having worst players ever and the USA and Britain have the most obnoxious (especially when you get morans of both nationalities on the same table)

brits usually are the only people that actually raise the full pot.
