5 Best Countries in HU NL

Posted on Apr 13, 2010 by Gugel in Data Analysis

41.38% of Russians are winners at HU NL

Russia has the Best HU NL Players

In my previous post, I talked about the 5 countries that have the worst HU NL players.  Now, as promised, here are the 5 countries with the best heads up players. (At this point, I figured I’d just share the whole list).  Congrats to you Russians.  You are the best HU NL players.

Personally, I’m really surprised that Americans are so far down the list.  I thought we’d be high up since we invented the game…

Again, this data is from PokerTableRatings.com which looked at Full Tilt players that played over 1,000 hands in 2010.

    PTR only looked at countries with 100 or more players. Each player needed to have played 1000+ hands in 2010.

    So for example, Botswana had only 1 player that met the criteria. He also happened to be a winner in the game….

    It’d be a little ridiculous to say 100% of Botswana players are winners so it was excluded.

    Also, a person making 0.01BB/100 is considered a “winner” and a person making -0.01BB/100 is considered a “loser”.
