Default Re: Are there any cardrooms where English is not the native language?

Out of curiosity, online, the language frequency according
to glreach.com breaks down as follows:

English 35.6%
Chinese 12.2%
Japanese 9.5%
Spanish 8.0%
German 7.0%
Korean 4.0% (almost everyone in Korea is online!)
French 3.7%
Italian 3.3%
Portuguese 2.6%
Russian 2.5%

Scandinavian languages altogether make up only 1.9% of the
total.

It's a good thing you bolted Morgan. It's been scientifically proven that about 57% of foreign languages were created specifically for the purpose of allowing people to win money by cheating at English-speaking tables!!!!

I factored that 57% into my EV and despite two total fish, I calculated that there were greener pastures elsewhere.

I once reported non-english speak to a floorman on multipoker (are they just generic party support people?) and he claimed that non-english was allowed, and that "not everyone can speak english"
