As we have probably all noticed, far more people are playing online poker these days because of the virus related lock-down in large parts of the world. This is obviously good for poker sites, but for us as players the more interesting aspect is, what all these new players are doing to game quality.
And based on my experience playing on pokerstars I have to say, that it is absolutely amazing, what this has done for the traditional full ring cash games. They are simply full of really bad fish to an extend, which I am sure has not been seen for more than a decade. Its a absolute gold mine, and presumably the situation is similar on other poker sites. Zoom games on the other hand seem to not have benefited much at all. Volume has increased a bit, but they are still an extremely nitty affair with very low players per flop numbers and very few true fish.
SnGs also dont seem to have benefited much. They are still quite reg infested, especially the 18-180 mans, which I mainly play. Tournaments might be somewhere in between, but they were kind of soft already, so for me it seem like, traditional cash games are the main beneficiary of the large influx of new or returning players. For those of us, who missed the poker boom 15 years ago, this might literally be the chance of a lifetime
