Profiling the non-US MTT player

[TakenItEasy]

I would like to get some use out of recent developments and take this opportunity to profile non-US players and therefore profile US players.

In general, characterize play of MTT players after the ban. Only include those sights that actually started enforcing the ban.

I'm not asking who is better from where, I am asking about the style of the player. When playing in a live MTT and moving to a new table or seeing a new player at your table, I tend to make some immediate assumptions based on many things including what country they are from.

This is a criticle time because you are lacking so much information. How many posts here start out "player is new to the table, no reads."

Ok, I'll take a shot at it.

It's a stupid post with the syupid intention. Do not make judgements on people based on where they are from. Just chill for an orbit or two and observe, avoid playing marginal hands until you get some reads. Simple. But not too many follow this.

Instead peole are lazy or impatient or not watching the table and then come up with "Just got moved" stuff which is probably true AT MOST half the time people say it.

I agree, you should avoid marginal situations against new players and wait for a read, however, not using all information available to you is a mistake.

If you have played in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Northern California, Southern California, you cannot tell me that there is no difference in the overall style of play of each region.
