Hey, Poker playas!

How are you? it has been such a long time since we have seen each other in live events. Soon we will be able to see each other and cover some great events. However, for now, it will not be that soon.

But there is good news this week. So remain positive and believe that we will make this together. 

Pokerstars Live at Okada Manila will Re-open!

Pokerstars Live Manila is set to re-open its door on June 11, 2021, at 2 PM.

Pokerstars Live was first to re-open last year. All gaming establishments were ordered to close on March 15, 2020, in order to control the spread of the coronavirus.

Although some poker rooms outside Manila operated earlier. Pokerstars re-open its door last December as the government shifted to a lower community quarantine. 

However, once again the government ordered another strict lockdown measure as the spread of the virus was increasing fast.

Pokerstars Live has no choice but to close its doors. but now they finally announced their re-opening.

How safe is it to play?

The truth is that with regards to safety. it depends on us as individuals to protect ourselves. There are expert recommendations that are available to protect yourself from the virus. We just have to listen.

Maintaining distance and the wear of protective gears like face-mask are proven effective against the virus. so please follow the guidelines properly.

As for the Casino or the poker room itself. We would try and visit them on its re-opening or the next few days to give everyone an idea of what to expect.

Still unsure?

If you are still unsure, there are online options that you can use to play poker. There are many poker sites out there that have good value games.

Staying home until you are fully vaccinated will definitely increase your protection against the virus.

But you miss your friends? 

Form your own club now!

UPoker just released it new promotion aimed at helping people build their own clubs.

UPoker already has the friendliest system to make clubs and has the least requirement to form clubs.

Unlike other apps where you are required to have 10 players to form a club. UPoker does not have any of that. They also just launched their new promotion aim to help small clubs to become bigger.

A more in-depth look at this promotion will be released soon.  but if you want to know more

Is the Manila finally re-opening?

Yes, it is. Vaccines are available but it may take a while before they would be available to the general public.

However, more and more people are being vaccinated.

The key to maintaining the re-opening relies heavily on us as individuals. Are we practicing safety protocols? are we vaccinated yet?

If we keep the number of infections down while more people are vaccinated. the more it would be easier to maintain re-opening. If you can stay away from live poker and play online. It will help a lot.

We can do this together!

Stay safe Poker playas!
