I have nothing to prove to you. I feel so sorry for you...
I feel sorry for you too. Must be tough living in a country with no democracy. A police state. Not big fun. Hope you can escape from the poor dictatorship and live in the free world.

Everything is temporary in the world. As stupid as minds and the universe are, there is no need to turn a poker forum into a political show about dictatorships. The topic about poker and Nikata Bodyakovsky proves that Belarusians play poker perfectly.

One single player and you conclude that they play poker perfectly in Belarus. That is very scientific. 😂😂😂

This is unfair to the rest of the world,Because the us has more players because of more opportunities to play poker. The only support some people have is the cards chat community. In the USA 🇺🇸 You can have people that live together and work on their poker game together and share ideas. Plus you have more places to play. Some people only have the internet. So saying that the USA has the best poker players is obvious because they play more so they will have better results. I think it’s like saying which country has the best basketball players.

Partly agree. Alas, US players can’t play online. While some of the greatest players are American some of the worst are too, which we experienced before Black Friday in 2011. So many calling stations from US suddenly vanished. They played like in friendly home games.

I think USA has the best players cause of the number of players they have.

The United States is often considered the country with the most skilled and successful poker players. This is largely due to its long-standing poker culture, widespread access to major tournaments like the world series of poker (wsop), and a large player base. Many of the biggest names in poker history, such as Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu (Canadian but heavily associated with the U.S. scene), have thrived in the U.S. Additionally, countries like germany and canada have also produced world-class players, especially in online poker.

If you're sizing players up from where there from, probably on the wrong track. Pretty short sided to assume someone level of play based on a map.

It seems to me that players from South America, the USA and Canada are constantly at every final table - so I would classify representatives from these countries as the most successful.

I disagree. In some countries - especially the United States - there is a culture of poker. Developed and refined over decades. Players from such countries are therefore much better placed to be competitive. Skilled players study the game and read poker literature. In many countries, players have poor English skills and will not be able to read the books, which are only rarely translated.
