Hi, I`m from Ukraine. Our country under Russian invasions. My city is under constant Russian missile strikes.
I help my city in different ways.
I am currently creating a blog to inform the world about what is happening in Ukraine now.

With this blog, I want to achieve:

- find friends/partners with whom it will be possible to improve our game;
- level up my game;
- reach the goal in the promotion "The Bankroll Challenge";
- inform you about Russian aggression in Ukraine.

It's hard to play again. Learning what you forgot is hard, like I'm starting from the very beginning. But everything seems to be ok. Minus is temporary.

War
Russian troops brutally kill civilians, preventing them from leaving the cities. Many acquaintances were simply shot on the street by the invaders. They break into bomb shelters and take people away.

The beginning was terrible. All the time frustrated by stress.
In Party I started playing DON and 6max turbo, hyper. I play at the $ 2 limit.
The $ 5 limit is more difficult. In my opinion, I played +.
6max, I gave good results.
Now I'm going to start learning more about the 6max game.

War
The troops of the Russian Federation are simply committing another genocide of the Ukrainian population. I was thinking of adding a photo of the crimes they committed. But it hurts. Hands down. But we will not give up.

Let's see If the Mod is TRUE TO HIS WORD after deleting my post.

The above post I want reply to it. The political part, last paragraph, not the poker report.

I sympathise with his situation but if you are going cancel my replies to his propagandised claims then he should also refrain from making political comments.

Hi arthurbentley,

Thank you for contacting us.
I want to make one thing clear:
All People in PokerStrategy and most of our users stand with Ukraine in this unlawful war that Russia inflicted on them. In fact PokerStrategy is owned by Playtech who has helped to evacuat his 750 employees from Kiev.

I am very welcoming WesTHenyi posts and I am asking you to refrain from posting Russian-friendly propaganda.
To reiterate again: we fully support Ukraine in this war and if you continue to post russia-friendly propaganda you would no longer be welcome in our community. In case you can not accept that, please feel free to reach out via ticket to have your account deleted.

Kind regards,

Hi WesTHenyi,
I feel the pain and I admire the courage of Ukrainian people facing this terrible aggression by the Russian Federation. I hope that our civilized countries will do whatever it takes to help in ending this nightmare

sorry, I misunderstand you. Thank to the whole community for support Ukraine.

1. Poker
Now the conditions on the Party are very good, the SnG leaderboard seriously increases my ROI.

Now I play at the $ 2 limit, I can win $ 14-30 a day. Playing $ 2 is not difficult and a lot of fun. I even get to the top of the SnG leaderboard, which brings me another $ 6-20 a day. I think if I can play 8 hours a day, I can earn $ 400-800 a month.
But the $ 2 limit is not where I want to play for long. When I raise my bankroll to $ 500, I can move to a higher limit.
I do not teach the theory of DON. I teach SnG 6 and 9 max and I need to get situation analysis software.
Who can tell me how to improve my game in the PartyPoker without a hand history?

2 War.
Playing poker away from home (I can't be home because of the explosions) is extremely uncomfortable, but I calmed down a bit. When there is depression, it clearly affects the game. But little by little I began to get used to this condition and adapted.
Ukraine has now had 25% of its economy since the beginning of the war. Our government has asked everyone who can to work.

Part of the family died. There is currently no family that has not been affected by this war.

Or will the war end quickly? - No.
In fact, the Russian side (in my opinion) is trying to prepare society for a long state under the influence of sanctions.

US intelligence says Putin will threaten nuclear weapons if the success of the Ukrainian military continues. This is terrible.
Russia claims Bosnia, Geogia, Finland could suffer same fate as Ukraine if it decides to join NATO. It is sad.

Regardless of all the excuses Putin tries to use, the west — in the form of NATO invitations — produced the real threat that Russia is trying to remove. It is completely inexcusable to invade another country — there must have been diplomatic solutions — but the west provided the threat.

The worst part of it is that if Russia continues to be belligerent, they could conceivable cause the very thing they're trying to prevent — and that is they might encourage those countries to join NATO.

I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 — I was 9 yrs old, and most of us believed we would not live until 10. In that case, a diplomatic solution was found.

Free people of the world are hoping and praying one can be found here as well.

If you try to say that this is a conflict between the United States and Russia, I do not agree. In my opinion, this is a war between Ukraine for freedom and Russia's attempts to restore the USSR. This war began 8 years ago, when we decided to choose another root and do not want to return to the USSR.

1. Poker
Playing poker is dangerous because we have to get to a safe place when we have a bomb alert, but you have to finish all the tournaments or forget about the money.
Thanks leaderboard I know my next goal, I have to get 1st place in the leaderboard, after that I can start the game with a limit of 5$.

2 War
During the war, diesel cars can fail because all the fuel goes to the military. The safest car is electric, as they can be freely charged at any time.
The village is more dangerous than the city because of russian military marauders...
