Why so random, so bizarre, so spazzy? Nothing makes sense so its hard to give them ranges but they are so bad in general, its almost unbelievable. And I don't like berating people but they just do some much random **** it forces you to LOL 10 times a session.

notepad, haha you must be one of them, in general hardest country to figure out their strategy, game plan etc. Just a bit more random than most.

80 percent of the players I gave the fish tag to at zoom today were russians, and the 3 stacks i won bluff catching were against agro tard russians, with that said the two best players I tagged as good regs today were both russians too )

According to some russian girl on the daily show a week or two ago, Russia has a motto, "Don't be a pussy." So I think that helps explain how they think/play pretty well.

There has been a huge additions to Russians on WPN also, There strategy is raise raise bet bet, and if you raise they will reraise, and if you raise again they will reraise.

They are tough to play against but overall they will continue to pay you off and will hardly adjust. And I feel like they all play the same way, There must be some sort of Russian Poker school teaching this play.

that I figure out in 2 min, but 85 percent of the time the russian turns out to be beyond terrible. Like I mentioned above, the 2 best regs I encontered were from russia but the rest make me lol alot sorry if your russian man, just the truth. And it took almost a year a way from zoom to have the laughs come raging back.
