There are plenty of educated underpaid (relative to usa standards) people in developing countries. These same individuals tend to have PC's and internet conections.

Yes, and as these people get into online poker some % become fish and some % become sharks. There is no good reason this % should differ overseas.

Some guy in a developing country that sees the WSOP and thinks he can make money playing online poker is just as likely to become a fish as someone guy living in the US.

Do you really think that a college educated person is as likely to suck as the average joe? Hell no. Maybe only 8% are winning players. I would say that if you looke at people with Masters or a Math/Science degree probably 25 to 50% are winning players, and if you look at all others (excluding Advanced degrees) the % that win is probably only like 5 or 6%.)
