I think in one way or another it will affect the players of both countries

At a time when civilians are being bombed, you are thinking about the stability of the poker game. Children, the elderly, and people of society are dying. But for you the most important thing is the stability of the game ........ where our world is going...

I think that some of the effects will be the tournaments that were scheduled in Russian territory or I also think that if they block Internet services in Russia, many players from that country will be affected. My wish is that this war comes to an end soon!

is already being affected, poker is nothing if there are no people to play with.

no blocking

I believe poker is poker and there shouldn't be any blocking.

it's true my dear. I almost fell into this trap, attacking Russians but Thank God I realized that we are all victims and I stopped immediately.

Poker in Russia has to be affected somewhat with different sites and payment systems becoming unavailable due to various private businesses pulling out. I am sure that there are players there that don't want anything to do with this war and it sucks that they are going to get caught up in the mess.

I don't know how prevalent poker players are in Ukraine, but surely they have other things to worry about right now so it would make sense that their numbers would be down as well.

Here's to peace sooner rather than later.

I would think for certain Online sites it could, but for the most part I wouldn't say a lot. Many prayers sent that way.

It is def. having an impact! Cashouts are stunted.

 

[Niykk]

It certainly is at least for the Russian and Ukrainian players

If this war gets any worse and more dangerous weapons are used we could be looking at WW3. In that case, yes, poker will be affected by the war. Everything will be affected.
