How come all the good players are from MN?

[ihardlyknowher]

It seems like a disproportionate number of the high-quality posters are from MN. Is math taught better in the schools there?

It's so freaking cold and snowy that they have nothing better to do but sit inside and crunch numbers all day.

Any of these really good players from MN...if they had grown up on the ocean...would most assuredly suck at poker.

Minnesota is the center of the universe, non-Minnesotans just haven't been informed yet.

But we would be fitter and tanner if we lived by the ocean.

Part of it is genetic/cultural, with so much Scandinavian blood running around, we're naturally some of the hardest players to tilt.

[NLSoldier]

Its seriously true. Especially for limit holdem.

I realize that a lot of people don't really understand the Scandosotan experience. Suffice to say that:

a) We're not unemotional, but it would sure be a shame to show it.
b) Every one of us is stubborn to all getout.

What's funny is nlsoldier was commenting a couple days ago how mn breads the most good shorthanded limit holdem players.
