You have to try:
select pseudo, count(ref) as xxx
from pseudos, questions
where questions.refpseudo=pseudos.refold
group by pseudo;
or
select pseudo, count(*) as xxx
from pseudos, questions
where questions.refpseudo=pseudos.refold
group by pseudo;
This'll be more correct on SQL point and will be more faster
to execute because you will avoid duplication in your output...
