now we all know that the eastern Europeans play the most aggressive/donk like ON THE WHOLE however ive noticed that the serbians have started to take on this trend as well and whilst they might not bet all in as frequently as the romanians they do like to chase there cards in my opinion the most, your thoughts?
I don't give it a specific location, cause honestly, US players do the exact same thing. Maybe even more so.
Certainly poker is newer to East Europe than it is to the USA, so expect a bit more donkish play.
Well US does that too, but Russian is the one that dominated the table
wow i think us are the best... lol but what do u all think
we all are agressive at certain times in a poker game
best when u have the cards
You Wont make a Romanian fold they will chase a gutshot all out. followed closely by Germans, then Russians. Them top 3 just seem to play like donks no matter what. Of course Americans are in the top 5(worst) but are not even close to comparing to top 3 LOL
Hmm, have not recognized it from Germans so far, mostly Russians and Romanians
I dont know I have to agree with the idea that their are plenty of players that play like that everywhere
Italians are the worst chasers. They will go all in w/ any 2 cards.
My grandparents came to america from Yugoslavia, don't know which part (maybe serbia?) but maybe this explains the irresistable urge to call allins with a flush draw. Least now i know its just genetic, i can't contol it.Quote:

OK this is how it goes: Romanians, Hungarians, and Serbs are by far the most donkish, followed by russians and whatever other baltic countrys there are in east europe. now americans are aggressive with light holdings aswell... the BIG BIG difference is that americans BET aggressivly , the others will check CALL you all in with a gut shot or worse( romanians are notorious for goeing "2 pair mineing" LMAo i know). betting and calling are completely different. prety much dont bluff them, be patient and you will end up with their stack
ok...i know that all countries do it but im talking from what i have seen the way i "label" countries are as follows
usa- very arrogant with there hands and the most talkative at the tables and not always in a good way, obvious over betters
UK - tight and conservative, maybe a lil to passive with there play
easten europian (romania, liithuania etc) very loose the few good players often shadowed out by the donks, like to get a big stack early on to then use bully play (all in every hand etc)
the list goes on but cba to write anymore lol
Can't really generalize, but let's be honest here, Americans are overall the best players online. It has nothing to with being smarter, more aggressive, or even culture. They have the most poker experience, since the game did not become truly global until this past decade. Don't be mad. The best soccer players are Brazilian and the best runners are African for the same reasons.
I think the little elfs from the north pole are the most dangerous players on the planet........ just sayin
if we are not generalizing then ure statement about yanks bein the best is mute ;)Quote:

u talk about freerolls and micro sng ^mtt amd put some players from specific country in that case is tooo stupid.
nice thread.the serbian and romanians are the worst players alive.hmmm come on betonline.or let's say 200$ freeroll on carbon.only romanians and serbian play bingo.
You just can't put all people from a country in the same shit with the others. There are not all the same, there are players that do stupid things from other country as well. and personally i hate russians, but again, there are not all the same. You just can't say that i'm a donk just because i'm romanian.Quote:

You just can't say that one country plays bad poker. You can find bad and good poker players in all countreis.
It depends quite on the type of tilts that you play ... they are not the same stg, mtt or free
the best players are the russian man
Romanians by a mules nose but a close race it would be and wouldn't take long.
Did you know that Daniel Negreanu is also romanian? Even thou it represents Canada, he's from Romania, and he is great. And a lot others.
I think in all countries are stupid players and good players.
bad player is bad player end nothing more
