Tingin ko naman kahit saan magpa-freeroll na 50K pataas dudumugin ng tao....  Lalo na dagdagan mo pa ng free food and drinks.....

[welcoat]

Masters poker has shown that regular sunday 15k FREEROLL already works, no need to give more.  i would like to know if 60k non negotiable cash game chips shall work.   food vouchers plus nn table game chips worked at RWM.

[Mark D.Hazzard]

Meaning buhay na buhay ang Masters? Haven't played there in a long time. Must check it out some time.

60K NN cash chips? Play the chips, convert to real chips if you win hand, like in casinos?

And my final question of the night:

If you had to lend money to one of the following, who would it be:

CHINO RHEEM or FULL TILT POKER? LOL!

[garfy]

any freeroll naman of course dudumugin ng tao eh.

here the actual scenario of that freeroll.

2 pm registration.

dami nakapila. walang cash game. after 20 min. puno na listahan.

230 pm

wala ng tao sa poker room maski cash game.

430 balikan na mga tao para antayin card nila.

500 pm 1 table cash game running. tournament started.

600 pm 2 table cash game. lahat alisan na.


note : people say tournament players and cash game players are different. this is just 1 factor ha.

i think most people must realize that house players should be fully utilize more. mas effective magyaya ang isang player kesa sa receptionist or floor.

as i said from personal experience and this is only 1 factor that should be considered. there are other factors as well


sheshh i was reffering to the master tour

[JiggerYPoker]

I wonder how many played cash game tables after the freeroll sa empire?

They let in 200 people into the tourney. 12 tables everyone else was alternates. After the first 4 levels, dinner break, about 160 players have been seated. The others joined when more busted out after dinner.

Sobrang daming tao that I've never seen playing before. I would have to assume malate area or LAPS players sila. Buti naman nadayo sila sa kabilang parte ng metro manila para mag poker.

[JiggerYPoker]

And my final question of the night:

If you had to lend money to one of the following, who would it be:

CHINO RHEEM or FULL TILT POKER? LOL!

Unless Chino was a total douchebag and still avoided paying his debts despite winning $1M from the Epic poker league win then go with him. Cause you have to be named Todd Brunson for FTP/Lederer open his trunk for you. And when I say trunk I mean his boot.

First of Three Parts

@polnso:  I agree with your last post for August 2011... The Chat Thread is for boring and useless chatter... For "useless" marketing chatter, go to the pussy thread... Ngek! at wpp Friendship Garfield...

Pasensya na po sa RWM insider ng kaibigan ko na si polnso... Instead of a 4 days holiday eh naging 4 days hectic working holiday po kami... For 2 days eh na assign pa ako sa night shift... 10 pm to 10 am po.... hirap pala non... Taka lang ako kung bakit sa casino at poker rooms eh buhay na buhay naman ang mga players kapag ganung oras... Hmmm... Siguro nakakatangap sila ng NIGHT SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL... Ngek!

Dami akong kwento... how do I start...

After my night shift work eh nagpa chop-chop muna ako... Naawa na talaga ako sa katawan ko... Huwag na po ninyo tanungin kung saan at baka magalit si Don Pedro... Then I had late lunch and proceeded to the 2pm tourney ng Metro... Late na ako dumating 2:40 pero kasisimula pa lang raw... Unfortunately, gone with the wind kaagad ang aking 500 petot at early bust-out po...

Proceeded to the 10/20 cash game tables... Nagpalipas lang po ng tatlong (3) oras at 6 pm pa victory party ni Boss Vic ng Empire.... Resulta: Total of 1,100 petot buy-in (600 + 500) eh naging 2,520 petot... Medyo nabitin nga ang kaibigan nating si poker pro Francis Villamar at kakaupo lang niya eh papaalis na raw ako... eh obligation beckons... kailangan po ng "eye in the sky" sa Empire Victory Party... Puro useless and boring factual reporting lang po dito sa chat thread... Kailangan po pumunta otherwise the reporter would be engaging in rumor mongering.... Trabaho na po ni Pumpkin yon... Ngek! at wpp Baby D...

On to Empire....

Kilala naman ninyo ako... kapag may pa tournament eh maaga ako... kapag sinabing 6pm eh itaga ninyo sa bato... 6 pm eh nandoon po ako... Dala ko na rin po ang school supplies na noong lunes ko pa binili... While walking towards Empire from the parking lot eh nakita ko nga si "Franz28" Aldaba... Pucha mukhang excited mag back to school si Aldaba... Naghahanap po kasi ng mabibilhan ng school supplies... Ngek!

Pag dating ko sa Empire eh nagulat po ako... Mas sanay po kasi ako na makita na kokonti ang tao whenever I go there... Dumadami lang ng konti tao kapag may PP satellite pero hindi pa rin puno.... BUT on the day of Vic's Victory Celebration.... Nakapila po ako malapit sa hagdanan... Yup, you read it right... Ganuon po kahaba ng pila... Buti na lang at maganda kasama ko sa pila... Who else but china girl "bananashake7"... Not only that, to ease the boredom eh nasa likod ni bananashake7 si Tofie... Alam naman natin na ma kwento si Tofie...

Habang nakapila kami eh nag announce si Papi bear that they are putting a cap on the number of participants for safety reasons... 200 Max lang daw... Nagkabilangan na sa pila... pokereagle 198, bananashake 199, Tofie 200... Yung mahabang pila sa likod ni Tofie... SORRY NA LANG PO...

Sa dami ng tao sa loob ng Empire eh hindi po kinaya ng aircon... buti na lang at may dala akong baon na extra shirt... Maslalo ka pala pagpapawisan kapag may lotion ang buo mong katawan... Ngek!... Duon po ako naghintay sa may aircon at nakipag chikahan muna with PP buddies who busted out... Nanduon rin si Jigger na nakikipag kwentuhan habang naglalaro at the same time... Buti na lang at nanduon ako sa may aircon nung nag break... Kasi duon ang start ng line ng pagkain... Papi Bear (pointing to me) said: "The food line starts here!"... Eh di una ako nakakain... Thank you po Papi Bear...

Habang naghihintay eh we  had the pleasure of engaging the Champ, Pokermax Vic de Guzman, in a lively conversation... Hindi po sa akin nanggaling ang unang tanong kundi kay Tofie....

First question of Tofie to Vic:  "ANO NA WINALDAS MO?"... Sinagot po iyan ni Boss Vic... at marami pa po kaming pinag kwentuhan... Bibitinin ko muna kayo parang 100 days to heaven.... Para EXCITING... ayos ba friendship garfield?...

In the end, mga past 8 pm na po ako nasalang... 8k in chips... hindi na ako nag dealer's chips kasi useless rin dami na chips nung mga kalaban... parang facebook poker pa sila maglaro... puro all-in... Napasabak ako sa 2nd hand ko... pocket nine... apat yata kami all-in... Lamang yung may hawak na pocket kings who uttered: "Justice please"... There was justice on the flop but not on the turn... TURN IS NINE.... Shiiiippppp IT!!!....  May swerte talaga itong si bananashake sa akin... Dati ko pa siya hinahunting pero masyadong mailap...

Umabot pa ako sa next break pero got busted sa last six (6) table... Daming tao AT ANG DAMI PONG NEW FACES... Sino sila? Baka sila ang hinihintay ni Garfield...

Ngek! at wpp... 

[polnkel]

hmmm...  idol egol....

Who else but china girl "bananashake7"

pa post naman ng pic....

baka matulungan tayo ni arvyt dyan....

balita sa akin ni heartrob ay malaki ang stack mo around 10pm....  na bust out ka rin pala...

i played online last nite....

3x nadale ang pocket kk ko....  went deep sa 2 tourny... parehas cracked kk ang dumale sa akin....

re yung isang "KSP" dyan....  palipat lipat na ng thread mag post.... tumitira ng ibang tao para lang mapansin..... 

nakiki ride pa sa chat thread....

puro marketing "ideas" .....  mali naman ang target market nya... puro players and grinders ang andito sa forum.....  no use mag preach ng "genius" marketing ideas here....

ako naman ang magbibigay ng analysis ko...  ang pinaka kalaban ng growth of poker here in the phils....  ang mataas na rake....  di po biro ang 10%  ....  at mga tips to dealers...  dun napupunta ang funds ng mga players ...  BOW....

[JiggerYPoker]

hinda ba siya kasama sa mga nag mass exodus ng PM dati?

I, we,  know mataas yung rake pero sa mga non grinders how many do you think really cares about the rake? Would cutting the rake in half actually make more people try playing live?

The way i see it, only those who are already playing a lot, specially those who does it for a living, would really care about computing the rake. Those who play online and know ho wmuch rake they charge and compare it to live would notice the big disparity. But if one was a casual player, they see the chance of stacking another player, does rake really come into play?

Despite all my questions, go pa rin ako sa idea na ibaba ang rake.

Second of Three Parts

@polnso:  Ha ha ha lol... Hindi ko talaga malaman kung ano itatawag ko sa iyo... Kung Carding o Rey?... Ha ha ha lol... Anyways, pagbigyan mo na yang friendship "KSP" natin.. wala rin tayong magagawa at hindi naman tayo mods dito... Just like "KSP", Nakikigulo rin lang tayo sa website na ito.... live and let live na lang my friend, polnso...

On other matters, hinihintay ko lang naman yan post mo para laying the predicate for my second installment...

Sino kamo si bananashake7?... Actually, PM member na siya bago pa siya naging PP member... Duon ko siya nakilala sa PP satellites.... Siya rin ang aking lucky charm sa craps table ng RWM... 2 out of 2 po ang record ko kapag nanduon siya either playing or at the vicinity of the craps table... Kaso hindi na naulit... Strict kasi parents niya... DLSU alumnus nga pala si bananashake... good breeding... Nung tinanong ko kahapon kung saan siya napunta eh sa Shanghai raw.... Tanong ko kung ano ginagawa niya duon... Sagot niya eh nag-aaral ng Chinese...

Whaaat?... Eh biglang pumasok sa isip ko yung kaibigan kong si polnso na expert sa Mandarin.... Sabi ko kay bananashake: "Di ba sa iskwelahan since elementary mo dapat pinag-aralan yan?... Sagot niya eh "puro cheating lang raw ginawa niya sa chinese subjects niya"... Kaya iyon...

Hmmm,,, siguro "nerd" yung kaibigan kong si polnso nung bata kaya magaling siya sa mandarin.... Hmmm.... Anyways, best place nga to learn chinese sa china... You have no choice but to speak the language.... Pwede rin siguro dito sa binondo pero yung mandarin mo eh binondo accent... Ngek!...

Hmmm... di ba universal naman ang english... nagkakaiba lang ang spelling in some jurisdictions pero english is english... Nagkakaiba lang sa accent... may american accent... may british accent... may australian accent (believe me at mahirap sila maintindihan)... and of course,,, my favorite... pinoy accent...

Ganun rin siguro sa Chinese.... may shanghai accent... may beijing accent... at may binondo girl... este, binondo accent... Ngek!... Tama ba theory ko polnso?...

As to her picture.... BAWAL PONG KUNAN NG LITRATO SI BANANASHAKE KAHIT SA PP SATELLITES...Wala ka pong makukuhang picture... Bigay ko na lang ang real name niya at tingnan mo na lang sa facebook... friendship ko siya.... She goes by her real name,,, Lanna Huang...

Ngek! at wpp bananashake7... 

[11Finger]

naging sobrang serious naman tong chat thread na to... kakapanibago...

Final Installment (third of 3 parts)

Naunahan na pala ni Jigger yung predicate for my third installment...

Like me, nagulat rin si Jigger kung bakit ang daming tao kahapon sa Empire...

Other PM notables include Neil DMD the dentist, coin flip, ArvyT and of course... the heartrob... nakita ko nga pala polnso ang moves niya kagabi... kung hindi ko siya maabutan sa Metro eh nakita ko na siya in action sa Empire... Kung sa Sales Law eh may tinatawag tayong "buyer beware"... Pag dating po kay heartrob eh "dealers' beware"...

Greet ko rin ang aking mga PP friendships... gaya nina former team mates Nathanjo69er and StonecoldPJ, si Mr. Suave, si Aldo (HardCoreHalo), mildpush, dylan, and many others... Nakigulo rin po sila sa Empire kagabi...

Ang tanong?... what made the Empire Freeroll last night click?,,,, Alam ko eh me pa freeroll rin naman ang Masters at yung SouthEastAsia Poker... Kaso linggo or sunday yon... Empire Freeroll happened on a wednesday...

O baka naman it was the guarantee... 60K guarantee po... Usually yung freeroll ng other poker rooms eh 10K lang... paghihintayin pa kamo ng matagal... ngek! at wpp other poker rooms...

Sabi ni heartrob eh yung 60K guaranteed eh katumbas raw iyon ng 500 petot buy-in sa Metro.... Hmmm.. not bad... you get to play for free a 500 petot buy-in event...

Whatever it is?... kung ano man yon, Thank you po Boss Vic for the free game... As for me, pumunta lang po ako duon para makamayan si Champ... May MAT seat na kasi ako... Kailangan ko lang mahawa sa swerte ni Boss Vic.... Hmmm... Baka naman kaya maraming tao eh may "charity" or "social responsibility" aspect yung poker event.... Baka iyon ang hinahanap ng tao... Ask Franz28... Biruin mo last minute eh naghahanap ng school supplies...

Ngek! at wpp Poker pro Aldaba...

re sa pagka "nerd"....  malayo po tayo dyan....

row 4 po tayo since high school....

idol egol.... konting "useful" information....

ang china ay parang pinas... maraming dialects.... tagalog, bisaya, ilongo....  hindi parang america na accents lang ang nagbabago.....

Traditional Chinese classification lists seven groups, comprising:
• Gan    (Jiangxinese)
• Guan    (Mandarin or Beifanghua)
• Kejia    (Hakka)
• Min    (including the Hokkien and Taiwanese variants)
• Wu    (including the Shanghainese variant)
• Xiang    (Hunanese)
• Yue    (including the Cantonese and Taishanese variants)

we usually speak Hokkien...  yan din ang basic dialect ng taiwan....

i know a bit of mandarin.....  naging useful sa akin yan last week at the metro.....  na kwento ko na ata syo iyan last month....

cantonese naman ang language ng maraming expert hk chefs na nasa kusina ng masasarap na chinese restos here...  yan din ang gamit ng mga tao sa macau before the turnover....

@polnso:  Iyan ang gusto ko sa iyo polnso... I get to learn new things... keep it coming my friend...

Btw... do not bother posting marketing ideas here.... Any self-respecting person would want to get PAID for his/her brilliant marketing idea...

Ayos ba welcoat?... Keep it cumming...

Off to work...

do you think empire lang nag-benefit dun sa freeroll (did it really benefited itself)?

I was at the metro last night to play it 1.5.0 tourney, expecting it to have less runners dahil nga dun sa donkament sa empire...but to my surprise ang daming sumali -- 103!!!! -- which I believe was the first time metro didn't overlay in its wed tourney (usually 6 to 7 tables lang sila).

Among those who played the metro 1.5.0 were the first Empire Emperor Francis Nethercott, the new emperor Ian Marcos and the advocate low buy-in tourney Delfino "Welcoat" Ty (yes egol, he picked a 1,500 petot buy-in over freeroll)

The topic in our table was the empire freeroll and each of us have a say on why they didn't play in it with one went as far as saying that it's not a freeroll after all and empire might have even earned from it.

I played well the entire tourney, grinding my stack up to over 30k without going all-in. But as Carding este Pol said, August was a ghost month (turned out to be the worst month of my poker career), I lost the very first time I went all-in with QQ as my opponent Joan the former floor woke up with AA.

I then got a text from Jomel asking me to go to empire to rail for him as he's in the final table of the freeroll. I went there and saw two cash game tables running, pokermax playing billiards and around 30 players railing the final table. Jomel finished 5th and we headed back to metro to see more than 20 cash game tables running -- at 1 a.m.!!!!

christmas is not even near yet.

if its women, freerolls are welcomed.  i am never choosy.
