What about the belgian players?


We're generally viewed as awful. I heard often enough I was the first decent Belgian they played against.

Generally, I consider the Dutch, French and Canadians to be horrible. Russians are quite bad too, they have some weird, exploitable tactics.

Wow surprised how many think, Canadian's suck, I'm screwed then cause I'm Canadian and Irish. Well maybe it will work to my advantage :)

My view is that nationality has no bearing on the level of skill. Every single nationality has good and bad. It's up to the individual to improve one's self.

In my limited experience, any country with French as (one of) their language has the worst players, so Canada, France and Belgium most of all. I've also seen some Swiss guys play absolutely horrible, and the few Luxembourgers I came across also played rather questionably at times.

Brits do indeed play very loose, and the damn Russians seem to play any ace, any face card, any connectors and any suited cards... anything that gives them any kind of draw. And more often than not, those friggin luckboxes also hit their runner-runners.

Some Brazilians were also nice enough to donate their money to me, so I can't complain.

And Dippy, Swissy might be from Switzerland, but he's a Frenchie nonetheless. ;)

I have to agree here... I find the entire idea of grouping together an entire nationality to judge an individual to be insulting and prejudicial.

I'd honestly prefer to not even see threads with this kind of discussion on a board which has members from all over the world. The entire content of this thread bothers me at my core.

As an American, I don't have to like your point of view, and I'll defend your right to say anything you like. However, I personally won't be returning to this thread.


Chill ... I love when players misjudge me by my nationality.
- You suck, Belgian fish
- Yes, but I got your money

Quebecers obv. They are both French and Canadians.


Fuck you beatch! Im from uk ill play u anytime, man im so drunk and retarded im an ubertard! CALL ME!


For anyone to even have a discussion on which country is the worst at poker is obsurd. Its like saying all black people smoke weed or that all irish people drink guiness. Its not very intelligent for someone to use stereotypes, especially in poker. I bet that some of you idiots actually play differently to normal in a hand against someone from a country that you think is donkified. WHAT COUNTRY PEOPLE COME FROM MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN A POKER HAND AT ALL. Anyone who thinks differently is a retard.
You people think your countries are so special then why the hell are there so many of you in my country ENGLAND. ENGLAND PWNS ALL UR COUNTRIES. Countries like belgium etc etc are not even in the same league. WE MAKE ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££'s over here in ENGLAND, the rest can shove their euro's up their asses.
ps GET THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFK OUT OF MY COUNTRY!

JFN, you never heard somebody say that all English are retards. It's just a fact that there a lot of the English players are fish. There is no need to use caps lock and/or feel personally offended, this topic isn't very serious.
