Hey, Poker Playas!
Poker was never a luck game. Yes, there is an element of luck to the game but to be a consistent champion, it takes skills.
A lot of the major tournaments will always have a well-structured format. but the lesser games have been badly brutalized.
Some organizers have turned it into a cash cow and would do their best to fool the players instead of letting players have a real game.
An example is advertising players will have bigger stacks but skip tons of levels and it still is a bingo game.
What makes Masters poker different
Structures are like cooking something. it needs to have a proper balance.
The right stack, the right minutes per level, and of course the right blinds.
When you talk to other tournament directors. They want to run it as fast as possible.
Not Masters Poker, When we spoke about their blinds we are often surprised at how they actually mix it up the right way.
How they would extend a certain blind so that players can enjoy the game and how they would speed it up to a certain level but then slow it down. There is a whole lot of thinking behind it which we confessed surprises us.
They put an extra effort to make sure the players enjoy the game and new players can develop their skills so they can become future champions while current champions can polish their skills.

Alfonso Baja
Bluff Masters Side event Champion
Another player who shone in the Masters Poker Event was Alfonso Baja. he strait out dominated the game.
A lot of players thought he was lucky because cards kept coming his way. But Alfonso Baja knew the odds and percentages.
International champions have used those odds tables and have continued with their winning streak and yet one-time champions have yet to still understand the value of it.
The Cake Monster
Maxwell Philippe Rosete
APC FEEDER.Champion
And another champion finished on top of the game. Bimby is still. diamond in the rough. But he has been sharpening his skills a lot.
Bimby has been polishing his player reading, and with such great structure and the absence of other champions. Bimby dominated it.
Imagine calling twice with such unbelievable hands. one was a king high and another one was a continuous bet by an opponent and a shove on the river.
Bimby tank so hard and called only to reveal he hit the deuce on the river but his opponent was air.
The betting did not make sense to him and called.
If you were to look at Bimby’s current history. He can deliver in big tournaments and on the last APC, he finished 10th place!
future champions will be born in the Masters
There are also future champions that have been regular at the Masters poker and have been running deep in events.
Although most people don’t know they have been regulars at the Masters.
Jason Kyle Magbanua, Jessie trance, Conrad Lumaban, Renniel Galvez, and Hazel Timonera just to name a few.
It is not about big money sometimes. there is no easy road to becoming a real champion. You need to polish your skills in a well-structured tournament in order for you to win.
Thankfully, there is the Masters to help new champions.
