	Hi AllyC, Good question. Yes, I have noticed traits between nationalities in the time that I have been playing. For example, the Scandies have definitely built themselves a fearsome reputation on the tables, playing generally very aggressively. So in general, I do think it is worth paying attention to where people are from when you are playing live or online (but be careful though not to put TOO much emphasis on this information). The US is a hard one to try and compartmentalise as their player pool is so big. When I play, I do find that the younger Americans are normally quite highly skilled. They have strong communities where the share information and discuss the games in great detail. However, at the WSOP which attracts ALL players, I generally find the standard in the large tournaments quite weak.

	Hi Bigmac, Just to say that I was away on holiday for a bit, sorry for the late replies, but I'm back now. With regards to the 'Durrr Challenge', whatever you feel Tom Dwan's motivations may be, it HAS to be good for poker. These sorts of heads up grudge matches have been around for many years and always created as lot of interest. The internet has changed everything though. You had to be in Vegas years ago to watch the greats do battle, but now all the action comes direct to your laptop. You could possibly datamine all the hands and review them later to see what the best of the best are doing; that alone must be good for the poker community. Without doubt, the swings in this match could be enormous and into the millions of dollars. Are the players setting themselves up for a fall? There's definitely a lot of pride at stake and Durrr is laying 3/1 which shows a hell of a lot of confidence. No-one really knows what the fall-out will be (at the time of writing this Durrr is on a reported $3M down-swing on FTP), both financially and emotionally for the players. Should be fun to watch though...

	And could that be linked to the poker theory books available in each country, lol? The Super System and some others got translated into French less than a year ago...

	Nik, There was a piece some time ago from Everest on the various traits exhibited by different nationalities when they play. According to Everest, they spent months observing the characteristics of each nationality during tournaments online and live to see if these were visible in the way countries play the game. They found that Swedes tend to be very aggressive and enjoy taking risks while Spaniards are very analytical due to their background in chess. French players exhibited flair and passion while Brits were reserved and cautious, especially early on, and take their time to get into a game. The Dutch were emotionless and also cautious while Italians were impulsive and unpredictable. Just wondered what your feelings on this were and if you had any opinions on whether this was true. Are their national characteristics when it comes to playing poker? If there are....what do you think American's would be? Thanks.

	Nik, What do you think about all the challenges - like the Durrrr challenge thats on right now. It looks to me like players that do this are setting themselves up for a fall.

	One more thing, If I do go in at 100x the big blind- Am I giving off a different table image than at 50xbb? Do pros lok to scalp people depending on stack size - will I attract the wrong type of action with the wrong size stack - ie will i get pressure with 20xbb and get pros hovering like hawks at 200x bb

	Hi Nik, Thanks for the detailed response to my previous questions. I only play small stakes (mostly tourneys) but have heard some great things about software such as poker tracker, Hold em manager and poker office. Do you use software like this and is it worth the investment for a low limit player. Thanks.
