The world has had its spectacle. South Africa hosted a fantastic world cup, bar the vuvuzela’s but now it’s over. Journalists are writing their last words about the beautiful game and everything is about to round down. This seems to happen after almost every single multi-million dollar sporting event... but does it happen to the WSOP?
But on the other side of the spectrum are the fans. Are you feeling something is missing from your life? Is there a void that that needs to be filled? Actually doing work at work? This might be the start of World Cup withdrawal for some..
As many as 40 percent of British soccer fans, their days no longer filled with World Cup matches, are at risk of Post Tournament Depression (PTD), according to a survey done a couple of days ago by a British website.
The reality of having to wait more than a month for the new soccer season and until 2014 for the next World Cup has left many fans feeling flat, bored, and unsure what to do with their days.
Now the question is, does this happen to the poker players? Do we as well suffer from of Post Tournament Depression? To a degree I’m sure; but we are not as showy truth be told. There are no posters of Helmuth adorning buildings in downtown Vegas. No Phil Ivey themed poker shoes and no stadiums built for us (though this is not necessarily true)
But it comes down to this, we have to have 1 year to be get our WSOP fix. But we’ve also got a WSOPE, the EPT, the APPT and event the Aussie Millions. We’ve got our fix, and even if we did get PTD, we’d put on a poker face.
