I think it's Finland and it's probably not even close, most players suck but the few finnish players i do play, play good.

Fitting. Everyone abandons the metric system when it doesn't suit their needs.
Always knew it was going to bite you all in the ass some day.

it's definitely a scandinavian country. there are virtually no bad finnish or danish players online (i play party 100%), but there are a ton of bad swedish players - although there are a ton of insanely good swedes too. finland has my vote overall as they have quite a few name players (unlike denmark) and very few fish (unlike sweden).

i would put a large amount of money on finland or denmark as countries being winners online overall, and on USA being losers (overall). sort of interesting to think about it that way.

Most of the guys that have pulled or are currently pulling large sums of money out of the nose bleed on-line games are US players.

are you disputing his point that americans are big losers overall?

if so.. hahahahahhahahahaha

Brazil may be up on the long run.
I know of dozens of brazilian pro players and maybe two losers..
England, USA and Canada suck a lot in % of winners

thought: would be nice to work a week at some Pokersite headquarters or Neteller just to know for sure these kinds of statistics [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

if it's not finland yet, it will be soon. the poker boom is in the early stages there.

That's probably a bad thing for the average skill level.
