8+Tabling Americans And 4 Tabling Europeans

[demon102]

This is from an interview of Roland de Wolfe on Cardplayer, it seems to be talking about tourneys but can be applied to cash games too.


MF: What is the difference between European play and U.S. play?

RDW: Europeans generally play more aggressively. They don't care about being knocked out, but they do care about being bluffed. That's the main thing in Europe, don't get bluffed. In America, players are more concerned about not losing big pots and often play much tighter. In Europe, they just want to stick their money in and try their luck. Most of the top players in the world are in America at the moment, but the depth of European fields is much greater. In the States, you may have better players at the top, but the fields are weaker and the lower players aren't as good.


I just thought of something the Eurosites were the first sites that I know of that had the super high stakes nl games like 10k+ nl so they may have more gamble to them for some reason.
