does any 1 else out there notice how many times russias are gettin lucky... seems that a lot of poker softwares are really rooting for them lol... maybe after they lost the yanks they have found a new revenue input in russia , seems like they have grown 1000% in numbers in last 6 months...
i saw on the news that a russian naval fleet was spotted 30 miles from the scottish coast , it was intercepted by HMS york, rumoured to be fly tipping, a long way from russia if you ask me

that rumor really isn´t a new one. ppl complained about that already when FT was still running - while I noticed a clear advantage for south american players during those last days. who knows for sure. although there are many strong russian players out there - talking for myself regarding to pokerstars razz tables.

LOL, spotted, spotted fly tipping, we gave permission for them to be there due to weather conditions, the fly tipping is just Russian navy chucking food in to the water, another expensive waste of time, needless animosity and bad publicity. OT - Russians tend to play other Russians light, and plenty of them are cheating.

Maybe that naval fleet is in range of the Isle of Man and they've threatened to take down all the poker sites head quarters if they don't rig in favour of the Russians. Probably an attempt to generate war funds they can then use to conquer the world.

how do you know whats a bot on ipoker, and i blame LNP for the russians getting lucky! theres just os many of them playing you'd think one out of the 7 russians who call you might win, DUUUUUUUH #thisthreadofficiallylabeledasarigtardthread.
Russians in general play alot more hands than the average player and will risk chips hoping to hit. They tend to want to see flops irrespective of the cost. Hence because they see more flops they hit more often than everyone else.
Certain countries have the similar traits.. Germans for example will play suited cards far more than most other players. Canadians will play Ace rag more than the average player. British players tend to overplay pocket pairs..
Russians aren't rewarded for their bad play, its just that because they call far more often than anyone else you spot their lucky suck outs more often.
I also hate Russian players. It's true that some of them are really good and pro, but most of them play loosely almost every hand. You often loose monster hands against crap but you only remember those kind of hands. Probably my bankroll would be smaller if russian people don't play poker

lol you must be mistaken about canadians, we like the suited cards and british people are the ones who play any connected cards or ace rags, the general poker concenus is that all europeans are loose players, have you ever been on a pound or euro table? european donkfest

You are not a patch on germans.. seriously, germans will call every flop for 5 x BB as long as their cards are suited.. K 2, 7 3, J 2, they don't care.. Give them KQ suited and they think they've already hit the royal flush and they'll call you no matter what you shove in....
As for English players loving Ace rags, the yanks are the worst.. they see an ace and they'll bet their chips, wife, car, mortgage grandma and next door neighbours cat...
So all in all, at the end of the day, forgetting everything else, really, in all honesty, truthfully, realistically speaking, we're all just donks....

The point all comment I catch is :
1. We really hurt if got bad beat. they call with crap card is risk their chips, but why they look optimistic ? my opinion : they got strong feeling or instinct. 2. Luck or Bad luck is important factor in poker.
What is your opinion and solution ? could we find solution on poker book ? for me : Yes, we could find it . not always working but help ( tactical bet )

Ha ha ha, this is the best thread ever. Not just the subject matter but the amount of thought and reationale that's put in. I'm sure you guys are mostly joking but I think Donkism afflicts the world round and it's not necessarily a function of country.
