For some reason this thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/38...phone-1430890/ reminded me of 2011 when I got SNE I would play while at work all the time. I would always tell myself "gonna stick to 6 or 8 tables and just grind 1k hands over the course of my shift" or whatev. Inevitably I would end up with 16+. My job was as a dispatcher btw, so I was constantly on the phone with customers, or the radio with drivers. Needless to say there were customer who didn't get the highest level of customer service if they were being stupid on the phone while I lost big pots X 3 or whatev. Eventually management switched me from graveyard to day shift, which is an upgrade, but had a lot more supervision and more important accounts and customers. So I went and got one of those plastic screen things you put on your laptop so that you can only see what's on the screen if you are directly eye level and behind the laptop and continued to grind daily, like for the majority of my shifts. I surely lost thousands over the course of the year when management would walk in once a day or so and I would have to snap hit "esc" or whatev it was on TN to exit ALL tables. Eventually the owner called me in to his office and asked me what had been affecting my work, I was like "nothing" and he said "I think you're playing poker." LOLOBV
Anyway, not sure why I put that there, just felt compelled. Maybe somebody gets a chuckle, I did thinking back on it.

There's no need to emigrate from Russia to play poker yet, but one of my comrades has already jokingly considered pendulum migration to KZ and back - he lives not far from the border, which is open because RU, BY and KZ are in an economic union. Likewise, Orsha (a Belarusian rural town that's the closest to Russia) is only 6-7 hours by train away from Moscow, might become our Rosarito 
(though those who don't suck at live poker will prefer Minsk, which is only 2 hours farther).
(Edit: in fact, Malorito, the closest BY rural town to Western Ukraine, might become its own Rosarito if things go harsh with online poker there, though again, Brest, with live casinos, is very close.)
Edit 2: freaking awesome from Toronto (but you've got it... that's a new ambassador of 888poker, Xian Liu, whom Russia blames for leaving Max Lykov in 4th in that EPT San Remo 2011).
