Default Re: What\'s up with Swedish/Norweigen players???

BULLOCKS!! No more cheating, if any, here then elsewhere, but true dedication and firm belief that poker is a skill game, percistent ability to study study study and play with hearth and mind. An oil technology university in USA sendt lectureres over to norway to investigate the term"skippertak" which roughly transelates into the ability to get shitloads of work done acurately, with focus, and fast over a short period of time. Ideal for projects and the sorts. The reason was that scandinavian students seem to get the best of their speartime-going to parties etc, and the best of their studies-above average results as a group, due to not letting anything distract them when the [censored] hits the fan and exams/presentation is due. I believe that an asset many scandinavians posess is the ability to not go halfhearted about an interest-time is to valuable, so if one is going to dedicate time it is done with conviction and dedication and few believ in second best. On the outside many appear to not want to front themselves with words, but speak with action and everybody wants to become winners at their respective fields.

I am sure you will find players that dont fare so well, and it is also a question of how long they have played( maybe you didnt notice them when they where at the wrong side of the scale?), and I believe that scandinavians who loose and dont comitt them selves to poker, rather quit then hang around as donks hoping to score the lucky one

For what it is worth, Stokken. Indy what you preach/question is BS !!!
