    France has now segregated player pool
    Big in UK and Germany
    The sites don't trust Eastern European because they are a bunch of cheating,scamming thieves so they do not promote as much there
    but not even close with out US player pool

    Ireland big but with the "door closed and the Lights out" do to the big Catholic influence

    Know one has had any measurable success in Asia when you look at how much they have spent on marketing

    Australians will bet on anything but there has been a right wing movement there as well but has gained no steam

    The sportsbooks poker operations are generally part of bigger networks (Microgaming, iPoker etc.).

    In terms of scale 888, PKR and PartyPoker are fairly big too. None of them were anything like as big as Poker Stars was when it accepted Americans, however.

    I don't play very much at all these days, the easy pickings of 4-5 years ago don't exist anymore but the standards and playing styles are very similar to US players. The exception to this (as a generalisation) is Scandinavians who tend to be loose/aggressive. I used to hate having a good Swede or Norwegian at my table.

    Many guys playing only good hands, hard to win pots
