Re: Question for Swedes
What about norwegians? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
In norway we have a high education level aswell, and everyone has access to the internet. Poker has gotten pretty big in norway, but I think not as big as in sweden. I also see alot of good swedes at the tables |

Re: Question for Swedes
I also frequent a norwegian pokerforum: pokersiden.no. The posters there mainly suck and likes to post badbeat histories or brag about how they turned their 50$ deposit into 250$ in one session. But there are also some high quality players, and most of them play high stakes limit.
I'm not sure if HU is their speciallity, but I know they play shorthanded edit: I came across this site http://www.smartgambler.com/index.php?/smart/the_team yesterday and the guy named Lagerbord supposedly busted another high stakes limit player named Bengt for about 20.000$ playing HU a couple of days ago. I guess he can play some HU, hehe [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: Question for Swedes
Commercials for poker sites every 15 min here on every channel. There is no education system except for newspaper culumns and a few magazines.
I dont know why linköping, but university city may be the reason. Biggest reason of them all is I think the highly developed broadband here. Maybe more than half of the swedes got between 0,5 and 100Mbit. |

Statistics show that the average swede lose about 1k/year playing poker, but of course thats a fact for every other country as well. |
