Hey, Poker Playas!

Tournaments are in full swing in Manila and the rest of Asia, there are just too many options for the players.

but which one is good and which one is bad?

 Yes, there are bad tournaments.

Players have to understand that there are poker rooms that operate poker room like a business. That is because there are those rooms whose main goal is to profit only. Their main goal is to be as cheap as possible while charging as exorbitant as they can. 

Then there are good rooms. here is a quick guide.

Level 9-onwards: 20 mins

The Asia poker Championship or the APC is the best value tournament in Manila. (More on that later)

in short a 44k Buy-in and a PHP 20 Million guarantee. 

And Masters Poker is offering a seat to the APC Main event.

Masters Poker has maintained a good structure and has always exceeded the guarantee of their tournaments. 

They definitely have the best Tournament structure for the Philippines and have become a great place to polish your skills. 

Unlike other rooms that offer a bigger starting stack but pretty much will skip a few levels. With Masters Poker, you are definitely playing real poker.
