DO national characteristics determine how a player plays poker?

One online casino and its European Event Co-ordinators set out to see if national characteristics can be discerned in the way poker is played.

Findings:

Swedish: Players tend to be very aggressive and enjoy taking risks.

Spanish: Players come from a chess background and have strong analytical skills.

Germans: Players strive to improve

French: Flair is evident

British: Restrained and disciplined approach.

The Dutch: Players prefer a scientific approach in order to succeed

Italians: tend to be quite impulsive

Would it pay off to pretend to be Italian in a poker game? Would you pose as something you are not to gain an edge?

Play online, mon brave...
