Microlimits infested by tight germans

While trying to build myself a new bankroll at the micros I was wondering why those tables where infested by so many tight and aggressive germans.

I found the answer yesterday. There's a german site named 'Pokerstrategy' operated by an English Ltd. It seems that this site advertises at universities throughout germany to cater players to party. It starts them off with a small bankroll and advice copied from the 2+2 books (they named their sources). This leads to (overly) tight and very aggressive play by these players trying to build their roll. I think it sucks as it makes building my bankroll tougher.

Just wanted to share in case someone else was wondering where all those tight germans are coming from.

Wait until the makers of the site have digested and translated the new NL book. You won't like it, I guess.

Interesting, there's a guy who plays high limits on party named "pokstrategy2" from hamburg, I take it he's one of the founders...

That might well be the case. The seemingly founder claims to play in high limits and B&M events discussed on that site are often near hamburg.

I have had the pleasure of being a "guest coach" at pokerstrategy and find the site, members and management to be very knowledgable and courteous.

I think the site is well run and the content very good quality.

pokstrategy2 = M. Wahls, former chess champion (co-founder)
pokstrategy1 = password_is_1 = former starcraft player (founder)

good site with a lot of (good) informations, but I don\\\'t like it because it seems 95% of the players / forum members are (ex-)counterstrike or starcraft kiddies and every thread is like a bashing / dick measure contest.
