Why its worth going to the Metro
The Metrocard Club will always be that poker room that is supportive to the new players.
Although the blinds have been increased to 25-50 PHP. Other poker rooms do not want to open lower blinds.
There have been other poker rooms and houses that have been re-opened. But safety measures are not really enforced or half baked.
When the health and safety of the players is the issue. It would be better to go to a poker establishment that would be keeping a good standard.
Marc Rivera was seen during the re-opening to ensure safety protocols are enforced.
With the vaccine being distributed slowly to the world. It is advisable for players not to take too much risk and go for places that are dangerous or unlicensed.
Stay strong poker playas!
