Sorry off topic, any news about the NuStar Casino in Cebu having a poker room? Seems like it was running and now gone.
Tip 13: Uniqlo Airism.
Tank tops aren't permitted inside Philippines casinos. Uniqlo Airism is the breeziest top you can get away with. You'll also need covered shoes.
Awesome videos mate, i like your mindset and overall birds eyes view of it
I live in the Philippines and for a poor country they will play any 2 cards, super loose. Can you say BINGO. I had pocket AA three times the other night, cracked twice. Good luck playing holdem hear.😂
Let’s say you Bink a 50K usd+ tournament or win that During a month or so playing cash games , how are you going to flight back out of the country with that kind of cash ? Thank you
I wouldn't recommend using the safes inside most hotel rooms, it is common for the stuffs to open the safe with the master key and steal your money~ It happened to a few of my friends…
Unless you're staying in some very high reputation hotels like the Shangri la or Resorts World etc
Lots of casino have a junket if you wanna store cash there it's a lot safer imo and its free of charge
