Some years ago a new generation of young players tried to overtake poker with math (and bots). But people just moved to unlimited holdem and other games where math is not everything.

Why are Russians so good at CF?

NeverMindTheWarlocks July 27, 2010 06:07AM

Where are the high-profile Russian poker players?

wrathpuppet July 27, 2010 03:05PM

Just because they aren't playing tournaments on TV doesn't mean they aren't around...

Sam July 27, 2010 05:17PM

Not sure how it's connected

Dwoggurd July 27, 2010 05:05PM

The skills involved are related

I haven't been paying much attention for the past couple of years

wrathpuppet July 28, 2010 06:17AM

Some stats

Flipside Oreo July 28, 2010 06:34AM

I'm surprised.

wrathpuppet July 28, 2010 06:58AM

WSOP?

Stevers July 28, 2010 06:21AM

Heh

Dwoggurd July 28, 2010 05:22AM

Cheat Ring, every russian knows every secret every other Russian knows (n/t)

NbM July 27, 2010 12:48PM

Exactly. We also have Skype voice chat 24/7 and bribed high-ranked IMMs (n/t)

dervish July 27, 2010 12:50PM

Damn, didn't know that, I just knew you shared prep information (n/t)

NbM July 27, 2010 02:13PM

you forgot their hiveminds, the weekly circle jerks maintain the psychic connections

Scrimbul July 27, 2010 06:23PM

Because they have to be good at something...besides making vodka. nt.

aussie13 July 27, 2010 11:46AM

I don't think that Russians are that great.

DurNominator(VIP) July 27, 2010 11:31AM

That's simple

Dwoggurd July 27, 2010 10:46AM

Good analysis. (n/t)

Cosimo July 28, 2010 11:05PM

I only disagree because I'm smart, but suck ass at CF :-P nt

Rade July 27, 2010 03:18PM

It's definitely not that "intelligence" is identical to CF skill.

Cosimo July 28, 2010 11:12PM

One word: Krilcov NT

Batman July 27, 2010 12:01PM

All that comes way faster if you are bit more smart. Just two cents. (n/t)

alex July 27, 2010 11:54AM

I certainly disagree with his logic as well. (n/t)

Dwoggurd July 27, 2010 12:21PM

You have an active character Dwog?

TripHitNdip July 27, 2010 10:50AM

No

Dwoggurd July 27, 2010 10:52AM

I was going to snatch up Starcraft but...

TripHitNdip July 27, 2010 11:20AM

They're at a disadvantage in regards to RP for obvious reasons

vortexmagus July 27, 2010 09:12AM

Long cold winters locked inside, propensity toward Vodka, and modern console games haven't made it there yet.

Isildur(VIP) July 27, 2010 07:39AM

Depends on your definition of good

Baudolino July 27, 2010 07:26AM

Dunno about others. For me it's just because I play almost only for PK and devote my time to become better only in that (n/t)

alex July 27, 2010 07:26AM

They try harder.

Starscream July 27, 2010 06:40AM
