The new normal and then some more
Publish date: March 25, 2022

Hey, poker playas!

The first quarter of 2022 is about to end. it is actually important to look back on what happened in the first quarter.

For almost 2 years, there were no live poker events in Manila. it has to be done in order to protect the people from the spread of  the virus.

but now everything seems to be better. borders are opening and live poker events have come back.

What we have seen in the first quarter could reflect the whole year. 

With no major event happening till April 20-25. 2022. We would be looking at the things that happen in the first quarter. 

Here an example.

6 poker rooms are now legally open in Manila and one more coming soon

There are now 6 poker rooms that are operating in Metro Manila. Some have made their moves while some are just catching up.

Which room should we look out for? which room should we avoid?

A definite topic to discuss!

Poker tournaments in the midst of a pandemic

Poker tournaments are a hotbed to become a super spreader event.

And yes one event did become a super spreader event! There were confirmed positive players that played in an event that led to the spread. Floors, players, and dealers got sick. 

How did the poker room handle this situation? how did the other rooms handle theirs?

Now that the counts are down and things are going back to a little bit normal.

A definite must discussed this week!

Old poker players proving they are still the top, rising stars, and then some more.

Some of the players that we wrote about to watch out for this year are proving they are that great.

but then there are new poker players that are making an impact on the scene.

who are they?

definitely coming out soon!

The rise of new poker teams!

Players do form bonds with each other and definitely there are now new groups that are out.

What team are they. which one doing great.

The new normal

As there is a long break before tournaments begin in April and May. we are now looking forward to writing all about this thing before tournaments become packed again.

so stay tuned guys
