Before this poll / thread i had no idea who i liked more or less. But last night i come across a very stupid very gobby very bitter French person who got the arse with me when i called his raise with 22 in late position and hit a 2 to make trips. He unknown to me had AA so he raised and i went all in and took all his chips...LOL He got so twisted he wouldnt play a pot with me...hahaha Telling him thats poker had no calming effects...lol

Posted by Tedajet: Of course you all think USA is the worst at poker? yet thats why every year thousands of people from around the world COME to AMERICA to play the world's largest poker tournament the WSOP Main Event some times over 50 percent are from outside U.S and yet...9 times out of ten the final table consists of who? Americans
Dangerous argumentation. The world champ is....

I think they got hit by the poker boom later than the rest of us so not as many experienced players/network and maybe their poor english skills hits them a bit here.

The French are not just the worst players at a table, they are the rudest. I've experienced this both online and in live play. Obviously there are a few gooduns, one is a good mate but even he agrees! And to be be fair a lot of the usa players at the lower levels on FT are just plain arseholes when you take a pot off them... It's quite funny though, and very easy to put them on tilt with a few smart comments lol

Well.... i think we have in France a lot of bad players.... but I also met great donks from USA, Canada, and east european countries and I saw a lot of very pretentious players from Netherlands and GB. Nevermind, I think it's impossible to be objective when you try to decree such generalities. Imo, donks and bad players are everywhere.... but there are a lot of very good players from scandinavian countries.

WOW!!!
Even a french guy calls his country mates donks. Agree 100% with what he said.
And as I said before, I'm starting to love USA players. It's the durrrr effect, now they think they can paly with any 2 and beat the table. I won some big pots agaisnt them because they built it huge with just a middle pair and an even worst kicker. TY Tom Dwan.
