Poker Players Suffer from Post-Tournament Depression After WSOP
The concept of post-tournament depression (PTD) is a well-known phenomenon among poker players, particularly after the World Series of Poker (WSOP). The author refers to the state of many poker players after the WSOP as PTD.
During the 2013 WSOP, the author entered the prize zone as a chip leader three times. He also finished 3rd in a $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo tournament. Despite these achievements, he still felt the effects of PTD. The author suggests that many young players struggle with PTD after the WSOP, often turning to bars to cope with their disappointment.
Tom Schneider won two tournaments during the 2013 WSOP, highlighting the rarity of victory. The author also shares his experience from the 2003 WSOP, where he made over $5 million playing cash games, taking advantage of players in a state of PTD.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
