Has anyone else noticed that with 3 tables left we still have 3 Vietnamese players.

On average, Viets are the greatest poker players in the world.

Excellent sample size. What do you have to say about other ethnic/racial groups?

How long and how closely do you follow poker ? I don't claim to have performed a rigorous statistical study, but it's clear to me that expressed as a ratio of great players to world population of the race/ethnicity, Viets are by far the best. It's not even close.

All my Vietnamese friends who follow poker agree with me. Yes, they might be biased a bit, but they follow poker closely (precisely because of all the great Viet players) and in general they know their stuff.

What race/ethnicity do you think rivals Viets for producing great poker players. I'm interested to hear your opinion.
