I admire the attitude among the top European players. In US, so many players just think about surviving until the next day. European players come out to play and they attack. I see a younger me in some of the younger European players I met. They fear nobody and really have attitude. Some of them even intimidate me.

The player I fear the most doesn’t have a name. He is the type of player that you see especially in Europe. They are not afraid to lose. They don’t value their chips, they don’t value their money. They f*** don’t care. When I’m in a pot, I care. I worry about risks. But they don’t. It’s hard for me to put somebody like that on a hand. [...] I fear people like that.

In Europe, there are more very good players, but also a lot of bad players. In the United States, there are a lot more average and good players. I think there are more great players in Europe than America.
