Re: What\'s up with Swedish/Norweigen players???
I've played cash games against some of them. Sometimes, no problem. And sometimes, I get raised out of the hand pf and then it's checked down by two players.
Makes me wonder. No conclusions though.

Also Sweden doesn't start school til the age of 7. England starts at 5. And by the age of 12 they are already way ahead in Maths, there not even allowed to use calculators til the age of 16 so those pot odds are going to be worked out fast!

btw, Lee Jones made a comment about this in the 215$ last week, when 4 out of the last 5 guys were from the same city (Houston). Something along the lines of 'that's amazing, unless you told me you were all from Oslo'.

Too bad Finland isin't on top of that. Thankfully our lovely country does well in two other comparsions: 3rd in guns ownership per 100 people after USA and Yemen.
And 10th in the suicide ranks.
