The difference between Texas Hold’em No Limit and Crazy Pineapple is that you are dealt three hole cards instead of two, and you have to discard one of them after the betting on the flop. The blinds will be set at a medium level. The options are Texas Hold’em No Limit, Crazy Pineapple No Limit and Omaha Hi Pot Limit. This simply means that the dealer chooses which poker variant he or she wants to play. The cash game table(s) we will host this week will be played with «dealer’s choice». You enter with the amount of chips you desire (usually within a minimum and maximum depending on the blinds), and can cash these chips in whenever you want. In a poker cash game, you can come and go as you please. As for the structure, we will be playing No Limit Hold’em Turbo. The tournament is labeled as a freeroll, meaning it is free to enter (as opposed to a tournament with a buy-in). In our tournament on Thursday, there are (GREAT) prizes for the top 9 finishers. Usually, there is more than one prize though, depending on the number of players.

In a poker tournament, all players are given a certain amount of chips and then the tournament is played until one player is left with all the chips. If you are not a poker expert, you are probably baffled about all of this, so below you have an explanation of everything you need to know about the poker being played in the Filipino capital this week.

We have also confirmed that a private dealer’s choice cash game table will be opened for us at the PokerStars Live Room at City of Dreams Manila whenever we can round up a few players. This coming Thursday we will host the official freeroll poker tournament of ASEAN Gaming Summit.
