I thought you would try to lose as little as possible, but you went ALL IN, as I think you should do if it's your first season, the experience will teach you next time that it's unnecessary because even if you hit you probably wouldn't win, and the risk on the difference from Poland isn't really worth it, and yes you're right in your assumptions about the PF-C, it's good that you recognize these things, thank you for appreciate the work we invest in Israel, and you are welcome to ask me questions on bbmail/discord and if it is not a problem(something i don't want to reveal) I will be more than happy to answer.
Good luck against Poland and in the rest of the season, I'll follow to see if you advance to the World Championship!
