Wild Aces Poker Room — Attraction in Angeles

The biggest scam ever! Every Filipino player is a house player. They are all working together against the foreigners. The dealers are in on it. That is why they have the ridiculous rule that all cards must be shown when a player is all-in, so the dealers know what cards to put down so the house players win. They also won't let you change seats or tables because they have strategically placed 3-5 house players per table so there is always more of them to gang up on the foreigners. Every time a foreigner raises, a Filipino house player re-raises, the other house players call, and then they bet you out of the pot. They did this over and over again. If it is just Filipino players in the hand, they just check it down. I said something about this obvious collusion and the Filipino players and poker room workers said they were going to jump me. They said this in Tagalog and my wife told me. They had already started gathering around my seat when my wife told me we should leave. Not only are they criminals, they are also cowards. Unless you like being scammed for all your money, stay away from this place. And here's another news flash, every poker room in the Philippines is running the same house...

I was in Angles for 2 months and played a lot of poker. The 25/50 games at Wild Aces aren't worth playing. Mostly local/house players that softplay against each other and collude to work against foreign players. The game is still beatable, I was a slight winner, but overall not worth playing with all the nonsense that goes down.

There is a 50/100 table in the back that is run by Koreans (starts at 3pm). The game can play much larger and it's not uncommon to see $100,000 PHP pots. The game is straight and the people running it do an excellent job. I wish they ran the entire room.

I give the 25/50 1 star. Between the rake (6bb + 1bb for jackpot), short stackers and collusion it's really not worth playing.

I give 50/100 5 stars. It might be the best game in all of the...

As I've written several times in the past, this place needs a card room manager. Just in 1 week playing the tournaments, the clock wasn't utilized correctly, along with table talk, collusion amongst players, not enough dealers or tables being open. So many problems, but this place has potential. As stated many times this place needs a card room manager with experience. This card room needs renovated and spacial awareness, I can easily fit 2 to 4 more tables in here. It's also a death trap if this place catches fire, it will be to packed with customers with 1 main exit, and 1 door leading to the main bar. Hope thus place never...
