    Why are there so many good 3rd world poker players USA spending too much on education
    You see so many great poker players that come from really poor backgrounds in 3rd world nations.So much for the old drumbeat from the teachers unions and democrats that if we only spent more on education we would raise test scores in math.

    Overall when you look at poker ability,math and the hard sciences you see more poor areas of the world pumping out people doing this stuff compared to the U.S.A.That's not to say that there aren't kids that are brilliant here that are good at it too.But you would think for all the hundreds of billions of dollars a year spent on education in this country,the U.S.A.would dominate the world in math and science and poker even.I think by watching final tables in poker tournaments it's a good barometer of how our education system is failing.

    I think it boils down to kids here being brainwashed into taking the easy and fun route where their main concern is getting a degree in non productive social sciences,arts&dance and environmental global warming nonsense.I think it's a new world order master plan to burden the USA and dumb it down where the kids all get fluff compassion degrees while the 3rd world kids obtain the hard productive degrees in math and science.

    Whenever I'm buying something at Best Buy I want to find the most Asian looking kid to describe the product.hehe!Does that as a white make me racist against whites?Na,I think over the last 100 years all that foreign aid,Marshall Plans,fighting wars for the world etc.just drained the USA of money and helped the 3rd world compete against us.

    P.S.SBR has to expand the size of headlines on posts so you can squeeze in all the right words so you don't look like an idiot improvising.hehe!

    Poker is a high risk game Americans are more cautious and overthink stuff the 3rd worlders dont give a damn and their whole life has been lived on the edge so don't hesitate to push in everything they got, also Americans find it harder to read foreigners and as most poker players are Americans they are somewhat intimidated by the people and cultures they dont understand IMO

      Pretty scary that there are actually people out there that don't believe in global warming. Suck on the end of a tailpipe for a few minutes then tell me that's not affecting our planet in some way. Multiply that by the tens of millions of cars on the road at this very second. You can't seriously think its ficticous. Nothing like buying into special interest group propaganda. Who profits from green alternative energy? Everyone. Who profits from an oil driven economy? Use your head once.
