It was normal for people to go online and play, if live could not... because of the restriction. Pandemic has ruined economy and health of the people, who has been abused to destroy his immunity because of a lie, when he wore the mask. Anyway, i haven't seen online growth. Tournaments are pretty empty. 8 - 9 months ago i thought about many players would fill some rooms. This thing did not happen. I hope for this tournament to be a success.

Many play against Asians, I think they keep poker alive, we just have to continue, the pandemic has hit many, but there are always alternatives to continue playing online, I think we should take care of ourselves and play poker, which is what we most want.

I haven't seen too many Asians in the rooms, games or tournaments where i play. I don't know how many players party poker has. Americans could be left to play with rest of the world, because after that we will see a beautiful growth. Anyway, this festival is good and you have to play for qualifications. Good luck, mobsters.

Depending on the type of room in which you are going to see Asians in quantity, I think that in the GGPOKER network it is an Asian room where most of them are from that continent, there is a lot of money moving there, and if you are lucky you will win, I believe with these guys large tournament is intended that more players reach the poker network.

I can't enjoy in party pokerpromotions and i don't have many opportunities to play in my country. There are only four rooms. I play in two and not in the others, because i hate them. This Spring Festival is very interesting, but this is it. Here are beautiful satellites and chances for money, after qualifcation(s). This room is very attractive.

Many countries do not have a license to play poker, but that is the problem of the country of origin, well, it only remains to accept it and play in rooms that are available, I think that most players have access to play in Asian rooms where there is enough money in game.

many poker rooms are not licensed because they not want, but approval can be obtained. Party poker is in a good shape now and offers many opportunities for its players. These series of world championships online or others... are very nice for all. Good luck with party poker games.

Of course, now they should do more online tournaments, because it is the way to keep the players active, since there is no possibility of being able to do live poker, but we must not throw in the towel and be able to mount large online tournaments that will benefit the community.

I really like these series, but it's hard to qualify for medium or large tournaments when you play satellites. Many games and very rarely getting into the main events. It's much easier when you're well-versed. Anyway, it's not bad to fight for it.
