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.

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

Jewish and Swedish are not races.

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]

The clarity of Jewish thought comes from the searing pain of having the ends of our penises sliced.
