Pandemic was a non-factor for me. It didn't change poker, employment or items that were bought in large quantities. Still getting by with limited poker.

The pandemic had been great for my game! There's lots of new players online and I've got more time than ever to play [emoji106]

The pandemic has seen me return to poker, it adds something more than just a zoom call catch up with friends. Sometimes I wish I had more time to play, but we can’t have everything!

For sure, a pandemic helped my game. Bearing in mind that during the quarantine period I had more time at home to play online and learn in practice without having to share the time available with other external tasks.
Anyway, "If life gives you a lemon ... make lemonade ..."

Good Morning

The Pandemic made me regain awareness of the game strategy and guide me to focus again, because before the pandemic because people were more euphoric because of the revelry and now that money has shortened as quieter euphoric people and hinder less than we are of higher IQ. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::):rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Pandemic eat fruits and vegetables, practice breathing sports and rest well.

You will overcome this challenge from God.

The pandemic did not affect my poker game in any way, because in the past I played almost all the time online poker. To some extent, even, there was more time for this activity due to the lockdown.

Twenty twenty brought me into the wide world of internet poker. I never thought about it much due to work and i usually played live games for many years. But the past year i had more time at home and i took poker to the next level. I was a decent live player, rarely did i lose any money or win any, til the lock down began and i was layed off. I took the time to work on my game and really see if i knew the game like i thought i did. Really improved my game by a lot. Did it do the same for you? let us know im sure there will be a great story in there somewhere.


Good afternoon! Friend, I believe that it helped a lot of the games of many people, yes, due to this isolation, the players had more time to study their games, I confess I didn't study my game much the limit that I think I can play rice and beans but poker is always evolving depending on the limits, new things are always coming, like who is in the health field, what is my case every year? We are studying something new about vaccines, dressings, etc ... I like to accompany professional players online this I do a lot on their styles I do my studies.

I don't played 2020 more than last year so it was not the reason to play more:)

Yes. Due to the closing, I have more time to develop my game, to learn. Plus, I can sign up for matches I haven’t known so far because they took place during business hours.

I cannot say that it has helped since it would be somewhat unethical to compare help in poker with the thousands of deaths that are happening in the world, I can say that it remains the same, I have played the same as I normally play with the difference that now there are new players in CC. I hope you know the rules well because apparently some need to know that they have to speak only English at the tables and respect others.

I have to admit, I have played a lot more on-line since the first lock-down back in March 2020, I used to run a game at my local Pub every Tuesday night but got tired with it so Gave the reigns to a younger lad to run it and went along after a short break just to relax and play.
I was one of the people that thought pokerstars was rigged but I have to say after watching a few streamers on "Twitch" and following players like Lex Veldhuis, Richy Rob, Pyeface and others I came to realise that it is nothing to do with Pokerstars, It is all down to Poker Variance's.
Sure you have bad beats once in a while it happens to the best of us, but once you realise that! you can dispel all the conspiracy theories and get on with playing the game. I have had just as many bad beats playing in live games as I have on-line. The only difference is It seems to happen more on line because you are playing more hands and more games, so of course it is going to happen more often.
Playing live I would play once a week, sometimes if I was lucky twice, but online I could play 10 or 20 games every day, So obviously I would have more bad beats, It make's common sense, Once you accept that it is Poker Variance and nothing more you can play better and win more often, I know because I do.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

For me the pandemic helped.I had not played for years.A long time ago i played all the time when there were so many sites that americans could play.Due to the regulations,and hard to deposit and withdraw,i made the decision to stop playing.Once the pandemic hit and not many places to go,i joined cards chat in october and started to play again.Im glad i did,this is a great place to play,and as a bonus win some money.I only play to enjoy the game,and win a little to play small and mirco touneys.So far not bad.Two cardschat free roll wins,a casino org free roll win,and several final tables.I havent made a deposit for years.

The pandemic even helped my poker profile to some extent. I got more time to learn strategies, starting hands and more time to play on online sites, this could take me to a new level of understanding of the game.

The pandemic in my case did not affect the game, but other players were added, a good thing for many to spend time playing poker.

To me it seemed like early in the pandemic the action was great, and now it seems like players have run out of money or gone back to work.
