So the Manila Main event starts in like 5 hrs, the casino and the poker room is absolutely amazing and must give kudos to pokerstars for organising such a fabulous event. The whole ambiance and environment is just amazing and I can hardly wait to go and play today. The field is 95% Asian with players from china, japan and Korea, along with some locals....I am surprised to see how big poker is in Asia, I means its just shocking to see the action and the enthusiasm here, wud never expect this besides in US and Europe, just matter of time before poker really explodes here. As far as the quality of play is concerned, from what I have played with them in the side action they seem aggro but very inexperienced and am really banking on them having little knowledge of tournament strategy to exploit them in later stages.
I played some side action yesterday, the biggest game they had was 100-200 so I decided to play it, the games was juicy and soft but somehow I was stuck 22k, however I was able to break even and make a profit of 15k (although I wasn't happy being stuck 20k)....I played for like 5 hrs and it was fun, oh btw it was pesos and not dollars :)
Most of the PokerStar sponsored players are here including Negreaunu, Hachem, Vanessa Russo and few more, there are some good European and Australian players as well, so really the field is not exactly very soft, but its still relatively much softer than most online tourneys. I hate online, I cant even explain how bad I hv been running...although I hv been playing pretty well so I am happy, but alksjdlaskjdaslkdjasd its badd.
I am really looking forward to Barcelona and my vacation in Amsterdam after I am done here, although not playing last 2 days online hv already recharged my batteries.
OK guys time to go...wish me luckkk, gonna try my very very very best :)
