Re: What\'s up with Swedish/Norweigen players???
As for Finland. Good education might have something to do with it.
The biggest thing at least for me is that poker offers very good way to earn money and big % of Scandinavian players play only for the money. It's very hard to earn over 50k from a normal job even before the taxes, and the taxes are just huge in finland, in some cases >50%.
Poker offers me way to make very nice money at young age tax-free.
So I think the money motivates us more then guys for example from USA.
