Pokerstrategy Finland is shutting down

I for one was devastated by this. I did three coachings a week and this job gave me guaranteed rent money. While having a child and singlehandedly paying everything for my family of three, this was a cheap shot under the belt. Here's hoping i get to coach something in english to better support my family..

Coach in the finnish pokerstrategy community since 2010.

As a longterm PokerStrategy.fi employee (from circa 2008), it is with great sadness I watch the success story that was the Finnish section go down with such a sour note. The community spirit, as it is here in English, was something phenomenal and unique. A story that started from humble beginnings, rose to great heights... just to end like this.

Oh well. That story will now end. At least for now.

So sad ...just started blog and now this blah

well i think my english is getting better after these sad changes.

what's up dudes!

really sad to hear about the finnish shutdown but i hope you enjoy yourselves over here with us!

That not good, but always must be positive. Now is good change train english skills (what you all can note).

So, all the strategy articles (in finnish) are gone?

We're trying to keep the released Finnish videos available, and probably the strategy articles too, so no worries on that matter.

Sorry for so uncertain reply - as you know, these 2 days have been pretty hectic and chaotic so I'm getting dizzy too.

Good evening everyone.

Let me firstly introduce myself first - I am Gary, English Community Head Moderator and Head Admin.

Some of you may know me from visiting here in the past.

I would like to extend the warmest welcome to all our Finnish members who will be migrating here to our English Community. I know that you all will prove to be an excellent addition to our community.

I know that right now that you are tinged with sadness regarding the FI community and this is completely understandable and that you are shocked.

I have no doubt that once the dust has settled here that you will enjoy being here in EN and taking part in both the Finnish Corner here and indeed in the EN Com as a whole!

Warm regards,
Gary

EDIT: Hoping to pick up some made PLO skills from you!

Well I have sad news for you Gary. No one can match the PLO skillz that Finns have!

But if you ask nicely, we can teach some of our Kung Fu to you

Finnish content is gone, but PokerStrategy still lives. We had an awesome community, the best I have ever been in by far. Let's hope that we can bring some of that awesomeness to here too.

Well I thought I should ask anyways! Nothing to lose

I'll settle for some mad kung-fu skillz if it's on offer!

my english is so bad dont understand english videos nothing

Hey adanna,

Keep people like Kyyberi and the other posters here in mind, they can help a lot. Sorry it's in English

@all: Kyyberi's kung fu is strong.

At least this is a great way to improve your english skillz!

I feel really sad about the finnish community, but at the same time it's great opportunity to be apart of even bigger pokerstrategy community. Nothing lasts forever, unfortunately. Hopefully this'll be a new fresh start for every member of the old finnish community.

I have to improve my english skillz too... ♠_biggrin:

This is like being in some kind of cyber refugee camp. I'm in odd place, I've no way back home. I see my old compatriots around me plus helpful and smiling "others". I had no time to take any goods with me. Only memories carried with from past.

But...

on less sentimental point of view I think it's time to see what's good here and continue working even harder to fulfil my dreams.

Time to adapt myself to new routines - and improve my writen English.

A big welcome to all our Finnish brothers.

While it is sad to hear of the closure of the Finnish community, the news that a lot of the content will be preserved is indeed good news.

With that in mind and the influx of Finnish members will only serve to raise our collective knowledge and make the English community a stronger learning environment.

My thoughts exactly! ♦

I've been "taking shots" here every now and then but still it somehow feels a bit strange to know that i'm going to spend rest of my (PokerStrategy)life here. ♦

Finnish community was part of my daily routines last five years so when it all ended just in the blink of an eye, it sure feels very weird.

But my experiences about english community has been very positive, so i guess we're going to be fine.. Just fine..

So prepare yourselves for a lot of bad english and lot of meaningless spam! ♠_evil:

Well, welcome to all Finns that will join us! I thought this community needed some fresh blood anyway!
