Hey, poker players!
It’s Friday, there are a lot of things to talk about especially Friday and Saturday is the best time to play poker.
What is interesting is that the next few weeks could change the poker scene a lot.
Why? here are some things you might find interesting.
The next two tournaments can define future events.
Early this year, one tournament was held in a casino. it had a big guarantee with a relatively low buy-in
A 3 million PHP guarantee with only 3,500 PHP buy-in. It had a multiple days entry and end of the day the pot exceeded the guarantee.
1,128 entries creating a ₱3,370,013 prize pool.
Then all went quiet due to the new restrictive measures because of the pandemic.
Things went back to the new normal and events are back!
Up next would be a 3 million PHP GTD this time would be a much higher buy-in. 15,000 PHP.
Then in just a few days, Another tournament will be held with a respected brand that would offer Filipinos a decent structure.

Why is it important?
The first tournament was a bingo-style poker tournament. a promise of a big win with a relatively low buy-in. structure. The structure was built to give everyone a decent chance to win a poker event. whether you are an amateur or a pro. The structure was built fast enough so that everyone had to gamble. Only 5% of the players registered that day could enter day 2. it was built to be fast and to have the smallest number of qualifiers.
Yes, poker players have an edge. that is because they understand the odds. but the field was leveled enough for amateurs to have a chance to win.
Next comes a 3 million PHP GTD tournament, a higher buy-in tournament. Yes, it will have a better structure. but it will not be as good as the next tournament.
3 Million PHP GTD with only 12,000 PHP buy-ins.
A lower buy-in. a great structure and a much friendlier staff and venue.
All have different styles, but the outcome could define the other tournaments to follow.
There will also be other factors that could play a huge role in the success of the next few tournaments. Another factor is that foreigners are now allowed to enter the Philippines, which tournament brought more value to the event host casino.
But it would still create an effect on which tournament do Filipinos really want.
It is not us as media to say which tournament is better. but it is the players themselves by which tournament gets the better result.
As we have a future sponsor as well that wishes to do events in Manila. We would of course suggest which format was the one players preferred more. Other organizers will also follow their example as well. It is really a numbers game.
The future really relies on the player’s hand.
We do admit that we preferred long formats. as the biggest tournament in the world which is the WSOP has even a 2 hour per level structure. The bracelet is the dream of every poker player.
Poker used to teach players the value of being patient and calm.
But in the end. it is still the will of the player that defines the future.
Which one do you like more?
