Fedor Holtz on 2020: Pandemic, Poker, and Personal Growth


Russian poker player Fedor Holtz shared his 2020 year in review, discussing how the pandemic affected his poker career and the overall poker ecosystem.

Fedor Holtz did not play poker at the beginning of 2020. He planned to travel to Australia but changed his mind. He was very busy with his companies and investments. In March, he and his team were in Austin, Texas, for an event that was canceled due to coronavirus. They immediately changed their tickets and returned to Vienna.

Fedor Holtz returned to online poker during the pandemic. He started playing fewer tournaments, around 40-50 per year. He felt a renewed passion for poker theory and strategy. He noticed a significant improvement in the skill level of top poker players. The coronavirus pandemic positively impacted the poker ecosystem, bringing new players and more tournament series.

I'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.
