Default The best poker players: The Swedes and the Jews

Well, I DO NOT MEAN any thing racial or anything like that. This is just from my observations I've made.

I read in "One of a Kind" (The book about Stuey Ungar) that in the 70's the called the Main Event for "Jews vs hats" because there was so many jews playing. Stuey for an example was en jew.

There's a lot of jews in the top playing poker: Michael Mizrachi, Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu, Howard Lederer, Annie Duke, Mel Judha, Josh Arie, David Sklansky and so on...

And we have the swedes ruling on the highstakes tabbles on the Internet. Like; hago, CrazyCharles, H@££INGOL, I_Grind_On_U, Tipex, Crippoli. And alot of great tournament players.

Daniel N. wrote that he was jewish on his blogg on fulltilt.com

Well, the vietnamese and the norweigians are also good... and the americans too [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But on the Internet the swedes rules mostly and there's a few good norwegians such as BEETHOVEN who plays highstakes fixed on the prima network. But I think his nemesis Zeus who also plays highstakes is swedish but I'm not sure. And in this years WSOP Main Event there was one swedish gut on the final table. And for those who wonders: I'm not jewish. I'm swedish.

Read that Zeejustin - Justin Bonomo (zeejustin.com) is kind of Jewish. His father is jewish and his mother is christian.

One of Patric Antonius way of success in poker may be that he understand swedish! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Check out the WPT in Aruba. There's a sweed on the final table! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hey, mentioning Norwegian screen names to emphasize the quality of Swedish players is an insult [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Some people make good poker players, and its probably a pretty even make up from all races, taking into account socio economic circumstances for each race.

Or am I being to logical [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, because any time the word "Jew" is mentioned, it means that person is a Nazi.
