Based on my experiences playing on ACR, I have to say that Israelis were the absolute worst. They almost always played like Zynga playmoney maniacs.

Objectively bad I would say Israel, guys just buy in minimum, straddle and then shove on GG. I think they just gamble it up thought I doubt they think heavily on strategy

The country that attempts to actually play to win but is the weakest I would say UK and that is speaking as someone from the UK

I would say from experience the country that has a disproportionate number bad players by population is for me American only because i think Americans love to gamble nowt wrong with that

Lots say Russian but that is not my experience they seem pretty solid on the whole brazil has a fair share off good and bad , They have the largest player pool me thinks so makes sense they would have more bad players . Every country got them

Canada seems to have a lot of angry players online these days not sure what that is about . And i have come across lots of bad german players .

There are three tiers of skill basically:

1) countries that can play .com, like on stars (Russia for example)
2) countries that cannot do this, (USA for example)
3) countries where players don't care about winning money (China for example).

It seems the Brazilians are sunrunners or am I the only one just running terrible against these guys? (Small sample not knowing how many hands I’ve won, but lots of bustouts against them)

This is the equivalent of saying "Online poker is rigged, I always lose with aces/kings". Just think of the number of BR players you probably play against compared to other nationalities.

the USA or some other country with high GDP per capita. high disposable income leads to playing stakes higher than what they can beat leads to losing the most $$$

I would say the Brazilian population in low/mid stakes generally play a wider range of hands. More of a LAG style, so yes you will see them turn up with hands that appear to deviate from GTO, but that’s an exploit right?

The amount of Brazilians I have 3 bet called off agains a weak range and they get there is comedy. Rather be lucky than good huh?!

Most of the worst players I've encountered online have overwhelmingly been from Greece.

I'd be a bit more analytical. In all countries where it is easy to access a variety of rooms, where there is advertising on TV and no restrictions on deposit options, the players should be weaker.
People go through a lot of steps with the intent to win, but nobody goes VPN, agents, dodgy sites just to gamble a $50 deposit...

Ever since the French businessman disappeared, France's standing has steadily improved.

maybe i'm misreading it but it seems like they're just using $/100 hands from gathering hands at all stakes. the fact that poorer countries play for smaller stakes has a huge impact on those numbers.
