Having said that, the captains performed extremely well as mentors and were nothing short of amazing. The workshops accelerated the comprehension of learning the game, especially for weaker players, which was well reflected in the gameplay. The bonding and team spirit were very evident in each player’s performances. I am extremely happy that we got to see how poker can be played and strategized as a team sport.
