(The political stress comment refers to it be a high-tension election year which causes fear of potential violence among some people as well as the Israel situation, which is also clearly a hot button issue, may be causing fear and uncertainty among people. It also serves as a distraction and maybe causes some self-reflection to try to prioritize things in their life. Poker may not even be on some people’s radars at all this year.)
Or maybe I’m overthinking it all.
Looks like they are taking wire transfers, along with tons of other options to pay for an event. No Excuses to register! And Poker is on my radar and the # 1 priority for me!!
I deal with all the other stuff every other day I'm not at the WSOP ( and few other tourneys) That sh@# can stand down and wait!! No fear and uncertainty hear, that is exactly what they want you to have, not falling for it!
