Hey, poker playas!
As we wrote about the question of whether or not it is still worth it to play Live poker or not.
Click here to read it.
Now if you still want to play. where should you play?
Well here is a quick review.
Metro Card Club
Metrocard club is located in Pasig near the Robinson Galeria. it is in front of the Marco Polo Ortigas Hotel and beside the MC Depot.
Robinson galleria also has the giant doll from the hit Netflix show squid game.
Health and safety.
Recently opening once again, we believe they are the first in the local scene to introduce such strict measures.
They are the first in the local scene to enforce a stricter policy.
Remember, we are in a time where poker rooms have not been able to operate for months and costs have increased. Vaccines are not as available as it is in other countries.
Yet they are trying to push a no vaccine-no entry policy.
Putting the safety and health of its staff and players at number 1.
Yes, they could lose some of their clients due to this rule. but the safety and health of everyone should be the priority. Not money.
*unvaccinated guests may present recent rt-pcr or rapid antigen results
That is why we applaud the Metrocard club for this push.
Yes, you still need to play with barriers.
Regardless of the vaccine status. the table still has a transparent barrier both front and side of each player. alcohol are all around the table. Chips and cards and treated with UV rays.
You still have to wash your hand before you go in (they even have a portable sink outside the room),
They also have one in the gaming area.
UV treatment for your bags before you enter the room. And there are people monitoring you if you stand from the table to remind you to wear your face shield.
They probably have the strictest protocols right now in the country and its good.
Supporting the local industry.
We have not been shy about supporting the Metrocard club that some people believed we are being impartial. We believe we have never ever worked on a project with them. Although there were plans, any project or plans never push through.
But we applaud them because it is giving credit to where credit is due.
They are a local business that has been supportive of the local industry,
They have continuously strived to push for a standard where others simply just throw away.
While other rooms might put you on a huge line and make you wait if you wish to play their smallest blind.
Metrocard club and its staff would strive to give you the best service they can.
So if you want to play Live. please put playing at Metrocard club on top of your list.
Stay safe poker playas!
