Best Slovenian poker players
In spite of being a country with a small population, Slovenian players have managed to win almost $8M in the live poker circuit. Case Kastle (WPT and APT champion) led the most profitable Slovenian poker players with over $2M in profits, followed by Tomaz Kogovsek and Dejan Pustoslemsek.
Slovenian poker players show more impressive results in online poker sites with almost $20M in profits: Blaž "Scarmak3r" Žerjav, Davor "curevor" BojoviÄ, and Andraz "zaplotnik1" Zaplotnik.
Slovenian legal poker background
Slovenian is a semi-friendly gambling country. A Gaming Law was passed in 2013, and although some actions have been taken to tackle down offshore poker rooms, only a few sites left the country in response, and Slovenian grinders are welcome to join many poker rooms now.
Some major poker sites like partypoker or PokerStars left the country, but party returned and even held special promotions for Slovenian players.
A great piece of news is that when Slovenian players join an international poker room, they play with a global player pool (it's not a segregated market because it won't make sense with such a small population).
