lol, yea I head you! French are plain awful, and germans arent better realy in cashtables, most of them really do fish a lot (using some poker tools can easily see it also).
I played few days ago in pkr.com 18k gdt rebuy 25$. I late registered about 30 mins after it started and got first hand KK - pushed all in preflop because wanted a caller and others to think that I might pul off a bluff and test the table image (as it was rebuy). Everyone folded except one french guy who called me with A3 - and the rest is history as you might guess what happened. I will post the hh later today or tomorrow. French are just amazing, I think they are rigged when they born, thatswhy they think different while playing poker .

Posted by DAGOR: Hello everybody! The guys I'm French and I do not play like this I swear. It's really a crazy move like that. See you soon for new posts lol!
lol, I have some friends in poker world also who are french and good players . But overall Ive seen so much bad play in key pots, that it makes the image so bad, when it comes to french. - they are just a "little" more open minded, when it comes to % and odds lol .

Get beats like this 2-3 times a day, so this is normal. I have no idear how bad or good french players are, but u find this kind of calling from other nations too. Depends on players skill and not the nation imo.

Look, I get beats also, but if you play 15-20$ tourney with 80 players you want to go deep in there and dont expect someone to call you off with 34 in very deep final table .
Well, yes I agree there is a fishtank to tap in every nation. And it depends a lot from traffic on poker site, but most cases Ive seen very very bad play in pkr.com, its always been french. I know that player before also, he got 2nd place in one big tourney last year i think, and after that he lost half his winnings next day in cashtables in pkr(it was funny even before he won the 2nd place in that tourney - some of the sharks in cashtabels made jokes in forum that tomorrows gonna be fresh money in cashtables lol) and spent other half to tourneys. Kind of like bommel222 did in pokerstars.
Since that beat I posted here time btw I have cashed a lot with terminators and last time I played in pkr.com I got two 1st places in a row in 5$ and 15$ buy in terminators cashing close to 400$.

they must have learnt it from their German friends who are equally bad.
On PS if I am in a ring game and a German sits at the table I get the hell out of there because they are so fishy you just know that they will call with any two suited cards every time and its only a matter of time before they pull off the sickest bad beat going.
So the lesson for today is avoid french or german players if you want your sanity intact.
WHAT WHAT WHAT? You mean a fishy bad player sits at your table and you *leave* because maybe they give you a bad beat??? sir, poker is not for you
