[ QUOTE ] Of course, my estimate of 100/3500 entrants could be too low. [/ QUOTE ] familiarize yourself with scandanavian goegraphy and you'll realize there are WAY more than 100 entrants in the sunday tourneys from these countries... [/ QUOTE ] OK, OK. So I counted them while 4-tabling MTT's. Get a life blah blah yada yada.... Latest sunday tourney on Stars: 3,332 players 116 Swedes 112 Norwegians 46 Finns 43 Danes 6 Dudes from Iceland A total of 323 Scandi-Nordic people or 10% And I must have missed a lot, the real number is probably more like 350

Re: What\'s up with Swedish/Norweigen players???
Seriously. What kind of edge do you think a group of 10 players colluding in a 3500 player MTT will have? An EV increase of 0.2%? Less?

Doesn't Norway have the same ammount of guns per person as the USA? Thought i remembered something being mentioned in Bowling for Columbine.... Plus they have less restrictions on what guns they can own, and still they have a lower murder rate. [/ QUOTE ] We can have guns if we i.e. hunt, but it is illegal to carry any weapon on you. What do you really need a gun for, you really think it could save you in tough situation? I have been in 3 situations (2 abroad) where guns have been pointed, and in none of the 3 situations did it have the intended effect. One dude in Norway pointed a gun at me in the street in Oslo, and I got so angry that I attacked him, I think it is the same way many would react, it is contrary to human nature to allowed to be intimidated that way.

Most get scared, piss their pants and turn over whatever the dude holding a gun wants. Anyone with half a brain at least. No offense. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
