Re: What\'s up with the Asian players?
[ QUOTE ]
There does exist a reasonable way to ask about stereotypical Asian LAgginess, and this was not it.

I would agree with this, although I'm willing to accept that ignorance rather than malice underlies the OP's approach.
I have made "reads" before based on ethnic stereotypes, and I'm a believer that generalization isn't always a negative thing when done in moderation and without intent of demonizing individuals. However, it's good to remember that poker stereotypes cut both ways when the person being stereotyped is savvy enough to use perceptions to her advantage.
Good poker players are constantly reevaluating their initial assumptions based on new data. Or so I would imagine. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
