Due to the coronavirus outbreak, quarantine measures have been put into effect in Italy, and are now stretching not only for the northern regions, but also for the whole country. Citizens are banned from moving around the country or even within the city, except for the event of dire need. All schools, universities, theatres, stadiums, restaurants and other educational, recreational and social facilities are now closed. No wonder the Italians can’t play even live poker for now. As a result, the traffic of online poker rooms has increased. Another reason for this increase in Italian rooms is that workers in many areas have to stay home where they have a plenty of time to spend on poker.
The level of an average Italian poker player is comparable to that of American poker players, i.e. they play rather poorly. New visitors to the poker rooms, who appeared as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, play even worse for the most part.
