I have no problem with any kind off players out off any kind off country. Oops yes i do, the french frogs are very rude people and allways trouble makers. They dont respect house rules, make insane calls, do loads of chipdumping (too other french frogs but cant prove offcourse).
When a frog make a donkcall or thinks his A7 is an option to call an allin and get busted i often say things like: ''Back too froggyland'' ''Bye frog-eater'' ''Frog-donk out.....''
Yes i know its very childish but these frogs tilt so easily so its kinda fun
But now the frog-comunity was littl angry at doomdy so week ago i play SNG and 4 frogs really wanted to bust me. They put things in chat like ''when he play we all call'' ect, and kinds of stuff. I didnt say a thing back i just reported the table Btw i got busted on that table but got a refund and the frogs are problably banned cos i never see any of them arround
But now i gonna be a littl more nice too the frogs cos i dont like this collusion thingy against me

In my short existence at PKR I found the French really annoying, I think I had about 10 of them on ignore by the end, as they'll gladly sit there clicking the lol action through out the whole game.

I have nothing against French people whatsoever, and I think calling them "frogs" is a bit racist. BUT 'most' french players I have come up against in sngs and mtts, especially on ipoker, have been very arrogant, rude and donkish. Maybe they all go to the same Poker academy for donks and fishies?
They all play the same for whatever reason, so it's easy after a while to call their bluffs. Seems to me if they check once at all it shows they have nothing, so their shove on the end is usually to try put you off - call with any half hand and you'll have 'em
If they annoy you, mute their chat or simply switch chat off. If you think they are colluding (as they often do, they look out for one another) call a poker manager or go on Live chat (depending on the site) and give them the table/game ID and say you feel the others are cheating. Don't engage them in flaming or you could get banned yourself.
Some of what you said to them would be deemed racial on a lot of sites and you can get insta-bans for it. Just be wary of that

I've found quite a few annoying francophones at PKR. Don't play there much any more because of all the avatar shenanigans(lol's, the "loser" thing etc).

Don't forget the snails (Escargot)
I think all country's have nicknames for peple fro outher county's. I know us English have got some strange ones like Pom's , Limeys, Fishface and outhers. I bet the French have some for us aswell anyone know what thay are found one... les fuckoffs....There are more here and there meanings http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/articles/pages/672/Englis...

At PKR i dont see many good french players, they all seems to be playing ultra many hand and bust early or got lucky and win something. Really strange how players per country can be littl bit the same (average).
Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Finland: Solid as a rock, average player know exactly wot he doing. UK/Holland/Germany/Italy: Good players, but many wannabees. France/Belgium: Euhm mostly donks sorry. Spain/Portugal: Send them back too russia (i mean spain )

Doomdy, France, Italy and spain(most likely also Portugal) are a litlle behind in the "online pokerboom". I don't think they produce bad pokerplayers but they started later than most other european countries so the average player is a litlle behind but im sure they will come after us.
Danish live pro's travel to those countries to play live tours because the traffic is so soft

Doomdy, perhaps should you read again the beginning of your post (top of the page) and replace the words "french" or "froggys" by terms referring to your own nationality, and imagine 5 seconds that this post has been written by another guy than you, a ger man or a french one by example.... I am curious to see if you would keep your sense of humour in this configuration.
