I am trying to get a Murphy's Law feel of what has gone wrong at the poker table that can be tied to some aspect of COVID-19 and the new rules it brought to live poker, so far.

Have you experienced some regrettable action that could be blamed on COVID rules or equipment?

Was there a significant miscommunication due to masks and/or a sneeze guard that lead to a dispute in a pot?

What nuances has COVID brought to today's live game?

I want to properly calculate my EV by determining additional risk however minute when playing live poker. I also wish to see if I can tolerate the worst of it should it happen to me.

So if you have a story or have seen a dispute in a poker game that wouldn't have happened if COVID hadnt happened, please share.

Will let you know at the end of these 8 live tournaments I am playing.

So far I love it and see nothing but advantages other than you can’t get facial reads. But that works both ways so is a washout.

If I had my way we would play like this forever. LOVE the plexiglass dividers and I don’t mind playing 8 handed.

Where are you playing? Maryland Live is having a big tourney the first weekend of May that I'm looking at, although I don't think I can pull it off. Really want the WSOP Circuit to come back to Harrah's Cherokee.

So far the only issues have been related to sound - and that is primarily due to noisy casino factor. Combine that with muffled voices due to masks and a tiny bit of sound barrier due to the plexiglass and there have been a few issues. Particularly at the Venetian where I was seated outside the piker room next to a very noisy bar. It is reasonably quiet in the Wynn.

With all that said I could play like this forever and prefer it. LOVE the plexiglass- and optional masks forever would suit me just fine. But masks should be required until we reach herd immunity - especially for those who have not been vaccinated.

I played in Vegas last week and was amazed at how normal everything felt.
