Raúl Mestre on the Pandemic's Impact on Poker and Winamax Live Sessions

Raúl Mestre, a professor at EducaPoker, recently participated in an interview with Winamax, discussing his involvement in the Winamax Live Sessions and the impact of the pandemic on the poker industry. Winamax Live Sessions is a live cash poker series featuring high-stakes games. Mestre highlighted that the pandemic has had a significant impact on the live poker industry, noting that online poker has seen positive growth during this period.

Mestre mentioned that EducaPoker purchased a table for broadcasting tournaments just before the pandemic, which has helped in adapting to the new normal. He believes that the recovery of the live poker sector depends on various uncontrollable variables, such as the emergence of new virus variants or public fear.

When asked about his experience with Winamax Live Sessions, Mestre noted that there are few opportunities to play high-stakes games in Spain, making this project particularly attractive. He believes that the potential for an attractive poker product exists in Spain, and that Winamax Live Sessions could create a new genre similar to popular programs in the United States.
