Putin really deserves the Noble Peace Prize for the restraint he is showing in the Ukraine. he couldve easily bombed and destroyed Kiev into the stone age years ago and ended the war, but he doesnt want to take over the country (or anywhere in europe for that matter). so he sticks to the far eastern 1 5th of the country where most of the Ukrainian citizens all speak Russian and were being persecuted by their own government, and would like nothing better than to have peace with Russia. 

Imagine if the US were at war with Mexico and Russia was giving Mexico arms to use inside the US, i guarantee u the US wouldnt be showing the restraint Putin is showing. Biden is even talking about giving Ukraine nukes. he really wants to see billions of people perish worldwide, and thinks this way Trump wont have a country left to run except for one utterly destroyed and uninhabitable with 95% of its people dying. Ukraine will end up that way too if they dont hurry up and sign a peace agreement. last time Zelensky tried to sign a peace agreement early on in the war by agreeing not to join Nato, the US and Britian demanded they tear up the agreement so it never came into being. 

Instead, the US and Zelensky decided to let millions of Ukrainian citizens be forcibly enscripted and die just to try to make Russia a little bit weaker militarily. 

But u guys dont want to worry about nuclear war you want to hear about poker. And the poker is so good in Dallas i dont want to go hide out in the Upper Peninsula of Mi or in deadwood or Wendover NV to be away from the bombs. because even if i was far away from the bombs, poker likely wouldnt exist in all the chaos anyway. that would be the last thing on anyones mind. so i might as well have died in the initial blast. 

Yeah when lightning brought me back from KS, i still had about 38k left or so. and i built it up a little, and after paying a months rent for a place to stay thru Dec 6th, i still had over 37k left. and now im in the 43,000s so im doing okay. i still have about another 10 days or so left. The 1-2 PLO is beatable for a large amount here, and according to Bill Potts, (who is here in town now) is because of the $10 straddle being done by over 90% of the players UTG. (the only straddle allowed). now i dont think this is the case, i think its just because they play bad and the game would be good even if they dont straddle. its certainly not mandatory. but he disagrees. 

But i do seem to be winning about 10-15k every month here with my short sample size of 3 months. one month of about 16k one month of about 3k and one month of about 8k. Something is causing the large wins. and unlike anyone else in the country there are often as many as 6 tables of 1-2 PLO. where else can u walk into a poker room and find that many PLO tables going along with quite a few NL tables?

ive got an enormous amount of books i took back with me from my mothers house ive had no time to read. ive only finished 2. Also she gave me an old Bible of hers and i promised to read at least 1 chapter each day. ive also got a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle ive never got around to starting because i waste too much time gambling on the computer. though i had a large sized table where im staying thats certainly big enough to hold it. my ACR balance has gone down a little but im still working on the same money i deposited a month ago plus ive withdrawn $50 twice.
