COLD WINTERS --> BORED ---> AGRO


imo

Haha, awesome

We gamble religulously!!

It's probably a combination of the wealthiness, the security around that you literary can not go broke and free education. And the viking genes of course, lol

And why are Dutch players the worst?

Apart from during World War 2.

Are Scandinavian players more fearless? What makes you think that?

Its so damn expensive to drink in pubs and the winters are cold so they all sit at home playing online poker and drinking, clicking all in as often as possible and gambling with any gutshot for entertainment.

Its nothing to do with being a 'fearless people' in general. They are all boozey degens that love the gamble.

Sick cold country with invertive people that only talk when theyr drunk. When so many angry kids choose internet poker rather than going out, they take alot aggression into the pokers.

i hate when people do this...but this will def. be a good thread. Thanks a bunch OP, i may just subscribe to my first thread.

Bluffing makes baby jesus cry

73% of all percentage statistics are made up on the spot

I think it as to do with taxes also because you got to win way more for it to actually mean something since most of your winnings are taken away by the gov.

also their risk of ruin is very small with all the social security there is

You've never seen the stats from the winter war I take it

Honestly agression/fearless have nothing to do with taxes/social security or winter...

I can only talk about Fins side but overall Fins are very temperament and relentless. It's all about personality/history.

Its meaningless, really. Mostly comes down to knowledge in poker, as knowledge is power. Than, its controlling your emotions, and playing your best at ALL times. Then, you have some luck mixed in.

The End.

As for the religion thing, I always though that it was wise to aim for heaven, and then you get earth mixed in.

but, the fool is the one that aims for earth...

and well, those Scandinavians that think they are so smart...its going be pretty ****ing silly playing poker with all that sweat and heat in the room.

cheers!

Its because of all the sluts here. We like to get it in

anything connected with any religion is -EV

Because of the metric system.

you kill chickens, cows and sheeps while playing poker ?

I've seen that Sweden maintained an official policy of neutrality while at the same time capitulating to the Nazis; allowing them to use their trains to transport soldiers/weapons and continuing to sell them iron ore in full knowledge it was being used to make munitions.

This does not meet with my definitions of "tough" and "fearless".

Finns are pretty smart I've heard...

vikings were agressive until Germania

Maybe it all comes down to the social security in the end. But I think a big part of the younger generations of Scandinavians (especially swedes) have become very arrogant, cocky, and have little respect for others - when they think they are better than the competition at something.

Maybe it's a good thing at the poker table if you're a player with lots of knowledge about the game, and I'm sure it helps my game even though I'm not much like that. But it also makes it pretty annoying to live in Scandinavia if you don't love to drink a lot every weekend and being a boring society degen.

(I think this thread is going to get many posts because Swedes also get very h*rny when some other country talks about them)

Religion should have very little to do with this, unless your specific religion forbids gambling. Obv, we get the occasional lol when some catholic is praying on TV for that 4 outer to fall on the river. They DESERVE it because they're so devout or some crap like that. But they are likely the minority in their respective countries.

In terms of religion and the Nordic countries, the way I see it is that religion is popular among people who suffer. They turn to God in their distress to find comfort and hope, quite understandable. Since Nordic countries are often considered the best places to live on many accounts, it's not surprising to me that God is not too popular among their population.

This is obv a somewhat simplistic analysis, but I don't think I'm too out of line with it. Perhaps this thread should also be in the Theology-forum instead of NVG.
