Skilled nationalities?
 

Does anybody have a clue in a general perspective of how good different nations are?
There has been a lot of talk that scandinavians are good (tight), english are crap and americans generally looser and more aggressive...
Does anybody have any knowledge about this subject?

The only thing I have noticed online is that English and Australian players play like total maniacs. They'll raise/rerasie you with crap, donk bet all over the place, bluff you on the river, etc.

I played on Doyle's Room a little bit and for some reason there was a high concentration of UK and Aussie players and they were all complete maniacs.

I've also noticed it on PP a little bit.

I guess they are looking for a good gamb0000l.

If they were intelligent they'd stand up to their feminists! What a horror show Sweden is politically.

Here are my top secret prejudices.

Americans - the majority, difficult to tell anything. Obessively patriotic Americans (the kind who get into chat arguments about saving Britian in WW2) are total complete fish (and easily tilted even further into idiocy).

Scandinavians - Generally aggressive, this makes the good ones tough to play against and the bad ones easy to beat.

Brits - again, a big group, but perhaps slightly better than the average American since poker isn't as much of a cultural phenomenon (except for the ones who get involved in Yank hating arguments).

Australians - donks pure and simple, but given the they have the lowest average IQ of all nations this is to be expected.

New Zealanders - great players, each and every one. They're also devilishly handsome and generous and funny and modest [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

French - fold too easily [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Turks - absolute freaking maniacs one and all. Possibly don't even know the hand rankings.

Tight? I played with a Fin for the last year who won a sh*t load of tournies, and he was the loosest most aggressive guy at the tables. Guess hes been away from home too long. PS: Canadians own poker.
