About Us
Our Story: The Heartbeat of Poker in Asia
Welcome to Somuchpoker. We are more than just a news site; we are the central nervous system of the Asian poker community. Founded in 2014 by poker players, for poker players, our mission has always been crystal clear: to deliver the most authentic, in-depth, and trustworthy coverage of the game we love, from the vibrant tournament floors of Manila to the global online felt.
What started as a passion project to fill a void in Asian poker media has evolved into the region’s most comprehensive resource. We are here because we’ve been there, grinding at the tables, sweating the river card, and celebrating the victories. This first-hand experience is the foundation of everything we do.
What We Have Become: A Three-Pillar Powerhouse
Our commitment to the poker community rests on three pillars, making Somuchpoker a unique, all-in-one resource.
1. Asia’s Definitive News Source (Our “PokerNews”)
If it’s happening in Asian poker, you’ll find it here first. Our dedicated team of journalists and reporters are on the ground at major festivals across the continent, providing real-time updates, live reporting, and exclusive interviews. We don’t just report the news; we live it alongside the players, bringing you the stories and the atmosphere that numbers alone can’t capture.
2. Asia’s Premier Results Database (Our “Hendon Mob”)
Information is power. That’s why we meticulously built and maintain the most extensive database of poker festivals, schedules, results, and player statistics in Asia. Our interactive, searchable database is not just a tool; it’s a living history of the game in our region, empowering players with the data they need to track their performance and plan their next move.
3. Your Trusted Guide to Online Poker
We take the credibility we’ve earned in the live poker scene and apply it to the digital world. Our online poker room reviews are conducted with the same rigorous, unbiased approach. We understand that choosing where to play online is a critical decision involving your time and your money. Our expert team conducts hands-on, real-money testing to ensure our recommendations are based on real experience, not just marketing promises. From country-specific guides to detailed game analyses, we help you find the best and safest tables online.
Our Guiding Principles: The Foundation of Your Trust
Your trust is our most valuable asset. To earn and maintain it, we operate on a foundation of unwavering principles that align with the highest standards of quality and integrity.
- Experience-Driven Content: Every review, guide, and analysis is written from a player’s perspective. We test the software, we play the games, and we experience the cashout process so we can report on the reality, not just the claims.
- Expertise and Authority: Our team’s deep roots in the Asian poker scene give us unparalleled expertise. This is reinforced by our comprehensive database and our position as the go-to source for both players and industry insiders.
- Unwavering Trustworthiness: Our editorial independence is absolute. Our opinions are not for sale, and our recommendations are based solely on our research and expert analysis. We are fully transparent about how we fund our work.
