FourFlusher 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm in California. The later I play, the more International the game gets, naturally. I see some Hawaiian players, then the European players as the sun makes it's trip.But, I have been seeing a lot of German players early in the evening.Maybe Party is running a campaign in Germany, I dunno, but it's not unusual to have two or three Germans at a six handed game anymore.Any body else notice this, or, am I just nuts?

psujohn 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Aussies play s l o w.That's just because they're so far away.I tend to play during the day eastern time so I get a lot of Europeans. When I was on Prima for some reason it seemed like 80% Scandinavians.But yes, I have noticed more Germans on party than usual. Link to post Share on other sites

bampote 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Did you know that we were one vote away from speaking German in this country?The more you know......This is actually a myth, although a really popular one.

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 There are a ton of Swedes that play poker at all hours on PRIMA. It has to be close to their international sport. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Oooh, the Germans are playing on Party... I'm so scared! Oooooh, the Germans...Uh oh...The Germans are coming after my bankroll... Oh, don't let the Germans come after me... Oh, the Germans are coming after me... No, they're so big and strong... Protect me from the Germans Link to post Share on other sites
Waffles2003 1 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 play some low limits on Stars and its easy to find 3-4 germans at each table. Stars is running some special tourneys for Germans only, i think like any international companies, it is smart for any poker software to try and acquire international markets.

Uppie_ 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Ya lots of them i have noticed lately. Been a growing thing for the past year i think, I sell copags and kems online and have notice an increase in how many of them are buying cards too. Might just be getting better/more tv coverage over there too. Link to post Share on other sites

FourFlusher 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 None of them scare me...except for the fact that when I'm holding my eyes open with toothpicks, they are wide awake and ready to rumble.I saw a Sweede tell a guy he hoped his mother died from cancer last night after he got rivered.Cool, I thought that crap was just American kids.
