hi. certainly, because I was not playing online anymore, with the beginning of the quarantine came that crazy desire to play again here I am, in the cardschat community. where I should never have walked away.

I'm not playing poker much. Only 1-2 tournaments per day. For me Pandemic nothing changes.

I see more people playing poker in all poker rooms. But I play not more than usually.

Yes, of course ... now with this being home to be safe ... I have more time to play poker ...! And best of all, I'm enjoying it a lot ...! I'm worried about getting used to this and then when everything goes back to normal having to adjust again ...!

Personally, nothing has changed for me. I play poker no more and no less than I have played before, until the spread of this virus.

People need to fill their time during quarantine with something and looking at the number of players in stars everybody is playing more poker than before. For me it is true for sure. :)

I do not play more than usual, it would be tiring, but there are many new players coming into the online environment.

No, it did not affect my poker game in any way, I do the same things, and in my free time, as always, I play poker

That's what my friends from the league I usually play in have been doing, since the pandemic. We only play once a week in real life, but they've created home game tournaments and been playing 4-5 games a night, every night for almost a month! Most are very good players and win quite a few of their games, with rewards.
Too rich for my blood...

Yes, a lot of people are playing much more now because the games are so soft. I personally have not seen the games this good since the late 00's.

I actually wrote a huge guide just a few days ago with tips on what the top players are doing to take advantage of the fishy games right now.

Yeah absolutely.
So much free time with no work available. Don't exactly expect much from this, but at least I'll have some practice under my belt the next time I hit up a poker room at a casino.

COVID-19 and Poker

This is a great question. I hadn't played online poker in 15 years. Since I am stuck at home, I decided to find something to do. So here I am. I have found that my skills are still there, but haven't had much luck. That last 4 tourneys I've played in I made the right calls but the other players just got lucky on me. One guy knocked me out with back to back suck-outs. What can a person do when that happens? Nothing.
