German players

Is it just me, or are these German NL Holdem players about the loosest, craziest bunch ever??? Talk about stats....VPIP is high and very consistent across most of them.....is it in the water? Oh yeah, and man do they chase....I mean, if there is ANY chance they can hit, they ain't going anywhere!!!

Here's a good example....limp pot, I'm in the SB...all the money went in on the Turn:



This guy's VPIP was over 80%, with about 400 hands in my DB. He played ANY 2 sooted cards, and WOULD NOT FOLD! Of course, this is what we want...but the fucker kept hitting!!!

So frustrating!!!

I was listening to a pod cast, where this exact topic was being discussed. The pundits did bring up the fact that these guys are mostly Pot Limit Omaha players, who are just crossing over to NL holdem. Makes sense....but just beware, they are a GAMBLING LUCKY BUNCH!

I would extend it not just to Germans but to many of the Euros. The worst is actually playing PLO with them, talk about a bunch of Omadraw donks. This is why I won't play any of these FTOPS Omaha events with the mid-afternoon start times. You get more Euros than Americans in those things, and every last one of 'em loves them some draw chasing.

In PLO you can't make a German or Scandi fold double suited hands pre-flop

Not true, Euros cannot be bunched. Germans and French are head over heels the worst poker players on earth.
