Asian Poker Tour of the Philippines

You gotta love poker, right? Everyone has a bit of advice about how to win at cards, but you can always tell the ones who really know because they are sitting on the sidelines, watching everything, and chewing on their toothpick with a sort of knowing look on their face. Gambling advice is like that though, the only advice you can really get is so existential that it doesn’t make sense at all. For example, ‘know when to hold em, know when to fold em’, okay sounds good, but how?

One way might be to grab a seat at the Asian Poker Tour of the Philippines (APT) for 2011. Sure, you could pony up the money and then get your ass handed to you by the pros, but a better way might be to go as a spectator and watch how the pros really do it. While the Asian Poker Tour isn’t the highest stakes game around, it’s nothing to slouch at. It’s not uncommon for winners to walk away from the table with a quarter of a million dollars or more. So, don’t bother counting your money when you are sitting at the table because it’s probably either too much or too little to bother with. (more…)
