I know what you mean. I like to play online a lot. As in I very much enjoy it. I get to see a great deal of
hands, situations, and can say anything I want out loud without offending anyone, and there's always a game, any time of day. But man, I DO miss playing with people in person. Live play just can't be fully replicated by playing online, so I view the two differently. It just sucks that our "new normal" is impacting us this way. But we aren't the only ones, there's a lot of people out there who can't engage in a lot of socially-centric activities while we do our part to flatten the curve. Not to mention people out of work who don't know where their next meal is coming from, or if they'll be able to keep their homes. Or people fighting for equality being brutalized by police and a system that seems intrinsically designed to reinforce that. Or terror attacks around the world. I mean I could go on and on with all the issues in the world, and the more I think about it, the less bad I feel about my circumstances. The fact I get to even play at all is something I'm grateful for. I will say this though, no live play is the #1 reason I was indifferent to the
wsop this year (aside from a couple of DNegs' live streams - which is what turned me off to watching any more of it). Hell, I still don't know who won the main event this year.
