perhaps we should boycott russia since they aren't allowed in the non poker olympics and were just kicked out of the world cup, not even being allowed to play under a different name

Good idea rickroll but I think I have a better one.
I'm leaving the Russians here but I'm going to make them play for the benefit of Ukraine.
Any Russian found winning a tournament (either here or in the Individual Olympics) will cause a donation to be sent to Ukraine.
The donation will be C$1 for every opponent defeated.
So the better the Russians play, the more money goes to Ukraine.
So far we have found 2 Russian winners:
On Feb 28 wind1982 won a tournament against 80 opponents
On Mar 5 RA$HPILLL won a tournament against 140 opponents.

$220 has already been sent to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation.

This charity has people on the ground in Ukraine distributing food and blankets.

As we find more Russian winners, I will also send $ to Doctors Without Borders who are set up in Ukraine and are sending out medical supplies throughout Ukraine.

Also,
Any Russian player who flies the Ukraine flag will become an honorary Ukrainian. If they are selected for Team Russia they will instead play for Team Ukraine.
So far, only Eu. Great is an honorary Ukrainian.

Any money I win by finishing 1st will also go to Ukraine.

day 67 picks:
Romania selects The39player (high)
Switzerland selects beaugosse1986 (low)

Who is actually reading this lol

get a life m8

good thing I played a few tournaments this morning
realized I should have included Belarus with the Russians - NoMoneyNoParty was flying the Ukraine flag
was at zemachess's table: he had a "No War" avatar - good enough to get him off of Team Russia

and who should be the first pick of day 68? that's right: zemachess
so Ukraine picks zemachess
Norway picks rbkgutt

Already, Ukraine rushes past Russia to take the #2 spot

day #69
two picks who play high stakes but rarely play at all
Spain picks srxakgirona (Sergi Reixach) and Austria picks WushuTM (Thomas Muehloecker)

says the person who pops out of the bushes to randomly attack strangers to feel better about themselves

i'm sure you're crushing it bro - feren has been doing this for years, it's clearly a fun hobby for him (which makes sense since a lot of poker players are very analytically minded) and it's how he donates a decent chunk of change to charities

it's not exactly what i'd do as a hobby but mine aren't really all that different, i probably spend 2-3 hours each day scraping data and playing with it for fun myself but for sports not poker results

but yeah, good for you, you lashed out at someone donating to charity, i'm sure you're winning at life and not a complete ffing loser

rickroll has my back!

Thanks.

This is where my "problem" started: as a youngster I can across this publication:


I was hooked.

More players flying the Ukraine flag.
I've given them entries in the Country & Individual Olympics.
Also added zemachess to individual pool #2 (to finish 2nd).
Missed a Russian win yesterday. $530 to Doctors Without Borders for _M0ney2_89's win on the 6th.
Doctors Without Borders has a distribution centre in Lviv to send out medical supplies to the rest of Ukraine.
But, now Russia is bombing Lviv too.

FerencL, part of having a blog here is the ability to ban unwanted/negative posters from your personal thread. Whenever you tire of puntmeister being a douche to you just say the word and he will be barred from your thread. Thanks for all the charitable things you do, past and present.

Thanks marknfw.
Actually, compared to the people on PokerStars who call me an idiot every time I beat them in a hand, puntmeister is fairly well behaved.

So, free entries for both of you. I'm sure with a name like his, puntmeister has just overlooked putting in an entry!
I'll give you Finland-Philippines-Ukraine.
I'll give puntmeister Faroe Islands-Andorra-Luxembourg

you can change these at any time

I don't know how this works, but let's go with countries I've been in: Mexico, Costa Rica, USA
