I dont know, but Im currently sitting in a NLHE 2.5k GTD tourey and one russian wunderkid just shoved on my A 8 with his 3 10 .
Probably not hard to figure out who won. And he didnt even was shortstack. Of course I called, his stats was all over the place. He has got around 30% chance and he just grabbed it with his nails. Pretty funny participating with all the Isildur wannabees in these ball measuring contests. I have just the right size of balls, but Im lacking the amount of vodka they drank. Drank, drunk, donk.

Posted by schmoyster: I am Russian but I always played with English poker clients with a Fold button in them. May be this is the reason my poker feats were so modest.

just out of curiosity i downloaded the "russian only" version of p0kerstars (can be downloaded only from www.nofoldpokerstars.com) and yeah it's kinda interesting piece of software- no fold button, no check option, no such thing as min raise- if you want to raise there's only two options "15x pot raise" or "all-in", i really think i stumbled on a hidden gem, all that this fantastic software is missing is the "shave" button

There seems not to be the word 'fold' in the russian dictionary. Whenever there is a reckless call on a table the player invariably comes from russia. These players do seem to love a gamble and they always seem to hit the miracle river on me

Hands like that really feck me off. I just find it funny how all the five streets just set up a whole straight like that. Such b******t indeed. Never seen all five streets basically set up a straight but three streets at least which is normal once in a blue moon.
< ahahahahahahahaaaa..... Well THAT would go a long way to explaining why them Russians play the way they do...
