Breaking Guarantees – How Masters Poker Defying the odds
Publish date: June 22, 2022

Hey, poker playas!

Masters poker remained the top choice for players in Manila. going around the past few days. Masters poker is the only poker room that remains to have a good organic cash game without the help of agents.

It is organic by nature which is why their 50-100 remains healthy.

Their tournaments have also been consistent in breaking the guarantees and even doubling them.

Why?

Structures

One of the reasons we believe why masters will continue to break guarantees is the fact they continue to maintain the integrity of the game.

In a time where bingo-style tournaments are being pushed. Masters Poker has always stood by having a proper structure to their tournaments. Even their freerolls have a better structure.

Most poker rooms’ marketing strategy is simple. They attract players by having big guarantees and low buy-ins, but that is in essence only created to get people to play the cash game.

The tournament is done as fast as possible.

Maintaining integrity of the game

From the very beginning when the new management took over. When they launched their tournaments, they were never afraid to make overlays.

But they wanted people to learn to play proper poker.

In essence, they understood a simple logic. If players keep playing in the bingo-style tournament. Players would not improve and will just end up broke.

The prime example of this is that when have you ever heard a player from that branded poker room ever produce a consistent champion? A lot of the champions now or recognize pros came from the Metro Card Club and the old generation where tournaments were still good.

Masters poker would rather have a future champion that grew with them. Hence they are the ones that are building and helping the players in Manila grow.

Is this what players want?

The number speaks

So far, most of the tournaments of Masters poker have been consistent in breaking guarantees or doubling the guarantee. The market is poker players after all.

You have to have some brains to play poker. 

Considering that there are a lot of poker rooms in Manila right now. Hey, Masters is the only consistent in breaking guarantees.

That pretty much tells you that the market for good structure tournaments is growing. Players just don’t want to play but also learn. They too want to become champions.

Just around the corner

For the next two weeks, the schedule for big tournaments (1 million and above) will take a break. However, there will be a lot of smaller guarantees.

The best one to look forward to will definitely be the Masters Poker 200k.

Early estimates that it will break and almost double the guarantee. plus it will have a seat to their upcoming major tournament.

So definitely a must go play event.
