Pares-pares sa Lunes
Want to try out playing in a tournament but you are not confident enough to try it alone? Grab a poker friend to be your partner and join Metro Card Club Davao's Pares-Pares sa Lunes Tournament.
Pares-pares sa Lunes fixed doubles is happens every Monday, beginning at 6 pm, at the Metro Card Club Davao. Players work in tandems. One player plays during Rounds 1, 3, 5, and every odd-numbered round, while the partner plays during Rounds 2, 4, 6, and every even-numbered round. Each player plays independently from their partner, and they cannot consult each other within the round or during a deal.
There is, however, a one minute break after each round, during which they can confer with one another regarding strategy and other matters.
So bring a friend, a lover, a partner, whatever and try your luck and skills. Maybe you're better playing together than against each other. :)
See you later! ;)

Poker Face Tournament for January 2009
Kirby Te... Maurice Abella... Michael Te... these three by skill and luck are now immortalized on the wall of the Metro Card Club Davao as the first three monthly Poker Face Tournament winners.
The famous Kirby, perennial tournament final table player and winner, was the first ever champion having conquered the Poker Face Tournament last October 2008. My cousin Mau Abella, having won a free seat during a satellite tournament, with no rebuys, and no add ons, won last November 2008. And to close the year, 25 year old Michael, cousin of Kirby, surprised everybody when he beat older and more experienced players last December.
This year, who will be the first to conquer the wall of fame? Will he or she do it with skill or with luck? Maybe both? This month's Poker Face tournament will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2009. You may join by buying in 10,000 worth of chips for P2,000 (plus P500 registration fee) or you may join the satellite tournaments to win a free seat. Satellite tournaments are held starting at 7 pm, nightly until Saturday. Ladies may also join the free roll satellite tournaments every Wednesday to get a free seat.
See you on sunday! :)
