I find that russians are typically very aggressive, some to their benefit some to their detriment. Thats just what ive seen though
They are crazy but very beatable
I have never rated Russian players. The Romanian players scare me.
Never raise a Russian's blind unless you are willing call a re-raise. 'Nough said. They defend their blinds like there is no tommorow.
i love play russians.. so easy for me to read and bully. i just look at em as more willing gamblers.. they aint afraid to lose..
who scares me.. MOLODOVIANS.. beware!
Russian - good poker players. this Topic manifestation of your fear of Russian. Poker for us is new and is already prohibited by law. but thanks to the Internet can play poker and learn the game.
I think Russian are given too much credit before the fact
We Americans are as about afraid of Russians as we are of any other kind of aggro-maniacs that play at the micro-levels.
There is very little information about who you are playing against when you are online, except maybe where they are living, and so there is a natural tendency to stereotype a person's playing ability by their nationality .
So TBO ,don't go patting yourself on the back just because your a Russian. buddy
i wouldn't call their style aggressive if you call compulsive over betting and playing any 2 cards and getting lucky skill thats just your dillusional take on it i mean granted sometimes they have a big hand so shoving with it is kind of a no brainer. they're not intimidating hilarious might be a better word and if they're up against a player that paces himself and laughs at their donkey plays instead of getting mad and trying to headhunt them that person has about a 80% chance of taking them down. i'm saying all this to say i love russian players more power to them!!!!!!
lol i'm with you pcgnome love the aggro-maniac part.... vintage stuff !
The thing that always makes Russians dangerous poker players is that there will always be another wave of them coming at you from behind the next hill.
HAWHAW. That's why I love poker! I never thought I could use it to make fun of the Soviets for losing the cold war.
From what my buddies at Stars are telling me they have taken over, and yes they are fearless beasts. Wish I could still play there and crush em all in the tourney's.
Europeans are in general more overly aggressive than the americans, overplaying Arag and such, but very tricky overall on the lines that they take on various streets, be careful
Even if the Russians are taking over Pokerstars, there has always been a lot of solid players over there.
I really don't believe that one country plays all that better than anything other, it's all about the individual.
We know all it, but that should be no reason why we can't have fun with it.
i dont know about better, but more a aggressive style for sure
I have found that 90 percent of the Russians I play are extremely aggressive. I have found that they tend to bluff alot as well , you will just have to watch them and make sure you atleast get a look at the cards they play to make a good descion.
Just watch Rounders. Matt Damon is the ultimate russian slayer.

It's never fun for me to play against this style. GL all.
