I continued to have a 30 minute conversation with Tony (marketing manager) but I won't bore you with the details. I was seriously considering another visit when my conversation with their marketing manager took a negative turn when he said 'You think we need you?' Some people don't care that much if there's a good game. But still that may just be my own principles. I think that is unethical and unprofessional. Also their mode of marketing is sending negative messages about other rooms instead of highlighting their own positives. I personally prefer the undersell, over perform approach but they obviously don't. Furthermore the message is always the same copy and paste, big fish big action blah blah. Every day I would be spammed with so many messages from 3 different chats on WhatsApp and 2 on Messenger. I guess it is just luck which day you show up at.īut what really rubbed me the wrong way was how they did their marketing. The 1/3 game had many short stacks but I have heard sometimes there are deep stack 1/3 games that can be very juicy. The dealers were fast but a bit unfriendly. Maybe they have improved since then I don't know. Overall my first impressions of the place is a bit dated, reminded me of the Metro Card Club in Manila. Closer to the end a drunk middle eastern guy sat down and it got a bit interesting until he won a big pot and broke the table. Action was okay but then we switched to Holdem and it was not a great game. The game I went to was the 5/5 PLO with a couple of locals and couple of Japanese guys. They are the only club that regularly runs PLO games if you are into PLO. The player pool has more Khmer players than other rooms, and typically softer as well.

When I was there they were running two tables, and games usually start at around noon. High hand bonuses paid to the top 3 hands paid out 3 times a day, a bad beat jackpot now at about 15k, a rakeback if you play enough hours and they recently offered a monthly rakeback race where the top grinders will get a cash prize at the end of the month. They have low rake (but I never asked how much it was) and they have lots of bonuses. They serve free food from their menu, free drinks. It is right above a cafe, pretty obscure so it does feel private and secure.

I've been to the One-Pub so let's start with the positives.
