Default Re: Race as a playing style stereotype in B&M

Fwiw those stereotypes are true in the UK for the most part.

As for the young white males - i live in a city with lots of universities and the "students" of the area who pretty much fit into that catagory are mostly weak tight in my experience.

I actually had one ask the dealer why i kept betting and raising when i was in a hand. I knew the dealer pretty well and couldnt help but break a smile when he responded "thats just how he rolls" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

All of this is true and that is why poker is so profitable.

Try again. Judging people based on race = racism.

Anyway, your descriptions of "X plays this way because he's Y" are useless. If they're either weak-tight, loose passive or TAG, there really isn't much left, y'know? Would you say these opinions help you to win money?
