Still holding out hope to play in BIG50 the end of May.
Is this a fools folly, a coin flip or the Nuts?

I've been a firm believer for awhile now that expecting any major poker tournaments any earlier than June (which could still easily be a stretch to reach) is very unlikely. Especially when you consider major events, poker and other gatherings for work, sports, fun, etc. attract people from all over coming and returning to where they're from, it just increases the possibility of more transmission through asymptomatic participants.

I agree with the above, but I'd be willing to say the same for August instead of June.

Common sense says you're a HUGE dog for end of May. The numbers are still climbing in the United States, with inconsistent enforcement of isolation. Many regions in the country, especially in the bible belt, are still business as usual. I saw one video clip where a lady said she was protected by Jesus. I mean, faith is great and everything, but she's taking a MASSIVE gamble that she won't catch the virus.

Unless there's a national order that is strictly enforced in every jurisdiction, I don't see the wsop happening that early, if at all this year. Even if that were to happen now, it's still going to take weeks for the numbers to flatten out.

Basically, don't hold your breath.
