How Coronavirus changed the perception of Poker

For many, the global Coronavirus lockdown has meant a huge change to work, health and life in general. The restrictions of places of work, general public freedom and even familial contact has been a huge change to the routines of millions.

Poker players, however, have always had what might be loosely termed an alternative lifestyle.

Poker players rise at the weirdest times, work long unsociable hours from home and yet only really rely on a strong WiFi signal to be able to make money.

Ideal conditions for a life in lockdown? It’s hard to disagree with that when you see players like Ryan Depaulo committed to the game wherever he can find signal, even if it a Whole Foods parking lot.
