Default Re: Skilled nationalities?

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.
