The impact on gaming companies has been severe. Just look at the stock graphs of three leading U.S. firms in this industry since the beginning of 2020. Needless to say, corporate accounting departments are feeling the crunch. But people still need to gamble so online poker is a realy good choice. hehe

I'm actually playing about the same amount, which is not very much. I am currently living on my family's property, which is a few hundred acres of farmland and woods. We don't have a lot of animals. But even without animals, there is still always something to do. So I try to stay busy, keeping up with the maintenance on the different houses and their yards. I might play a couple of on-demand tourneys or S&Gs in the evening here and there and one tourney in the wee hours of the morning when there are enough registered players for it to start. And I might go a day or two without playing at all. So, about the same amount overall.

I only play online poker, so nothing has changed for me in this regard, as long as I played poker before, I still play so much.
Maybe the players started playing more because they started going out less.
And I play tournaments, the coronavirus has not affected the daily schedule of online poker tournaments in any way.

Pandemic - good idea for PS especially. In that time I play with more pressure - I have a lot of free time.

I also play every day. I lose in expensive tournaments, the game just doesn’t add up. The game is playing normally in cache. In general, I am satisfied with the current state of things. Good luck to all like-minded people.

I was used to playing almost every day, but now with the pandemic what I do practically all day is to play. Although it is a very difficult and sad moment for the world, the dollar has risen and the poker rooms are fuller and with bigger guarantees, so for those who play poker this is the perfect opportunity to play because there are many more recreational games and the prizes are bigger.

Traffic at ACR might be down, pennyrolls the new norm?

With ACR'S policy of fewer free-rolls, more penny-rolls, you can see the trend. Luckily Cardschat is still a free-roll. Let's just appreciate what we have, poker and health-wise.

I'm playing a lot now that I'm quarantined from work and pretty much forced to stay indoors. I played a lot of poker before but now it seems like more because I'm able to play during the day instead of during non peak hours after I return home from work.

I play less, I’m medical worker and now days I’m little busy at my work. Don’t have much time for playing, and when I have I’m tired or want to spend time with my family

I can say that I also play poker non-stop, but I don't see my bankrolls increase, I loose allways on weaker cards in tournaments, and I stopped playing cash game ... it would be better, I don't know how other players go? :confused:;)
