Gaming Theory Courses?????? Wow! You guys are like a race of Gods among mere mortals with such advanced courses.

for minbet, Minnesoooota
for tournaments i'd say Vietnam with Scotty Nguyen, David the Dragon Pham, plus tons more
overall, PA is from Finland so i'll go with that.

Well it's obviously not US and A, Finland probably.

A friend and I were looking for the mathematical definition of "skill game" and we came across this, it may be of interest

Scotland pwn the unlimited texas hold them, english suck though : )

[/ QUOTE ]
Best Scottish unlimited texas hold them player I know... is me. We suck.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless you're Tillerman, you don't know many Scottish players. FWIW Tillerman on his own easily puts the Scottish NL economy in the black.

England or more specifically London has the worst players in the world by a significant margin.

[/ QUOTE ]


Mafews is a much better player than Tillerman but doesnt grind even a quarter as much....


The answer is definitely Finland.

Go and play at ongame-network(pokerroom, hollywood etc.) and u'll see it's definitely not finland. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You guys ever heard of "If you could make it in America, you could make it anywhere"? We are the land of opportunities, and the country the only country that fights terrorism.

[/ QUOTE ]

America is not the only land that fights terrorism and your statement speaks therefore that you are definitly dont belong to the well educated Americans.

US is for sure not the best Pokernation. For sure the USA is one of the country with the most Pokerplayers and that is the big reason why you guys have so many good players. But for every good player there are tons of amercian fish out there.

If you you look for soft games which are easy to beat you, you look out for american domintatet Pokerrooms.

Scotland/Ireland is the worst

[/ QUOTE ]

Given that the population is only 6m here, Ireland has had a huge number of cashes (and even one ME winner) in the WSOP in the last few years.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ireland are probably the best. Compare them to Scotland and you'll see.

[/ QUOTE ]Ireland are vying with the English, French, Germans, Russians and Swedes for worst.

Best is possibly Finland or the remaining Americans online. In an open market like pre-UIGEA the American rating falls dramatically.

[/ QUOTE ]Seriously, they didn't

[ski]

irish are easily the worst. If you disagree you're wrong.

I'd say USA or sweeden for best. Canada is up there too.
