| B&M Rooms in the Philippines I am currently in the Philippines. I like to play poker and it is sometimes hard to find a game when I am travelling. So far I have found 1 Poker Room in Cebu City. It is in the hotel Waterfront in Lahug. If you know of others, please let me know. |

| There is Poker in Manila but I've never been in there. http://philippinepokertour.com/landbase/ There is also in La Union but I don't know the exact location. They also want to have a Casino here in Baguio but people here doesn't want it that is why it was refused. |

| The Forum I played at the Forum this weekend. The room is really nice. New tables, good lighting and competent dealers. Everyone was really friendly. All they play is NLHE. 5/10 up to 100/200. One thing I didn't like though. At one point in the evening a group of women came in to market a cigarette brand. Obviously this is a business arrangement between the casino and the marketing company. Problem is, you have to take a survey to get the free pack of cancer sticks. All of a sudden, half the table is up taking these surveys that take 10-15 minutes to complete. Second concern. The room itself is very secure. CCTV and security guards. But, the casino is in a strip mall. No security in the parking lot. You have to walk to the street to get a taxi and you need to wait for a taxi to go by, no stand nearby. I would be worried about walking out with a big win here. |

| I live in Cebu (Mactan, actually) - there are three poker rooms in Cebu, All In (Waterfront Hotel Lahug), Metro Cebu (formerly Bravio) on AS Fortuna, and Diamond Club next to the convention center. I play all three - tables are loosest at All In (tourist traffic), I prefer the atmosphere at Metro. Metro Cebu is owned by the same group that owns Metro in Ortigas. They also have a room in Davao (supposedly ridiculously loose, haven't made the trip yet) and another somewhere else - check out their website. The Hyatt Casino in Manila has poker tables - very action oriented, high variance, but very profitable if you can weather the variance. Last edited by slycbnew : 10th June 2009 at 6:31 AM. |

| Thanks Thanks for the info Slycbnew. I will definately ask about you next time I play. Quick question. When I was out here about 3 years ago they didn't have poker in the casino's. I was playing in a game at the Rajah. Do you know if that game is still going? |

Do you know any of the following guys - Nonoy, Bebot, Abio, Richard Sharpe, or Clyde from that Rajah game (Cebu Players Club)? If so, that became Bravio and is now called Metro. Last edited by slycbnew : 10th June 2009 at 8:53 PM. |

| Has to be the Metro in Ortigas. Best poker room in the Philippines. That's where I play. Sometimes I go to Caesars along the south highway just on the edge of Makati city... it's a small club and is usually dead til 7 or 8pm but it's a nice place and the players and staff are pretty friendly there. |

| I didn't realize there were this many CC forum members in the Philippines - this is a welcome surprise. I only speak English, so I haven't been able to participate in the pokermanila site. If you're up for it, we could make arrangements to meet at Metro Ortigas just before the 5M guarantee in July. PM me if you're interested. |
