Dito sa Pilipinas, halos lahat ng tao marunung maglaro ng baraha, mula sa maliliit na bata hangang sa mg matatandang tao. Kung mahilig kayo maglakad sa iyong neighborhood na maraming matatanda na walang gumagawa, pag lagpas na ng alas diyes mapapansin ninyo na marami ang nangyayari. Tumira na ako sa iba't ibang mga lugar dito sa Manila simula sa laguna, Pasay, Pasig, Parañaque, Taguig, Las Piñas at ibang pa mga lugar... Inoobserve ko ung lifestyle ng mga tao lalo na ung lifestyle ng mga gamers, at na pansin ko na maramihan ung mga tao na mahilig mag laro ng barahan sa tabi ng kalsada or sa harap ng bahay nila, pati landlord ko 65 years na sila araw-araw sila naglalaro ng Tong-its. Mayroong mga sikat na laro dito sa Pinas katulad ng Tong-its, Pusoy Way, Pusoy dos, 21, Lucky 9 at iba't ibang laro. Na pansin ko sa mga bata mahilig sila maglaro nang lucky 9, tapos pag ma na talo may consequence. Natutuwa talaga ako pag nakikita ko ung mga maliliit na bata naglalaro sila ng lucky 9, minsan sumasali ako sa laro nila. Pag naglalaro naman ung mga bata, hindi sila naglalaro para sa pera; may mga consequence para sa natalo sa laro katulad ng; maglalagay mga lipstic sa muhka o magpakurot sa tenga.
Here in the Philippines, almost everybody from little kids to elderly people know how to play cards, popularly known as "Bahara". I've all always been fond of taking walks around my neighborhoods, living in different places in manila I have come to familiarize myself with the way majority spend their time playing card games. I have live in Laguna,Pasig, Pasay, Las Pinas, Paranaque and other places and I have come been able to observe peoples lifestyle in all weather and I noticed how much we Filipinos love to play card games in the neighborhood even my landlord loves playing Tong-its, he is 65 years old and he plays the game every single day.

Playing cards is quite thrilling and interesting especially when there is money involved, examples of the popular games here in the Philippines are; Tong-its, Pusoy Way, Pusoy dos, 21, Lucky 9 and other games. I also noticed that not only the adults play cards but the kids really know how to have a good time playing cards and also get good at it, from what I've seen so far kids love to play lucky 9, unlike the adults, there is no money involved rather there are consequences for whoever the loser will be like rubbing lipstick on the face of the loser or pinching the loser on the ear, these can really crack 'em up.

"Sinasabi nila na may isang madaling paraan upang bumalik sa iyong bahay mula sa pagsusugal na may isang maliit na kapalaran, Ito ay mangyayari kapag ikaw ay nagsusugal na may malaking kapalaran". Hahaha
They say that there is a very easy way to return home from gambling with a small fortune and that is when you gamble with a large fortune. Hahaha.
For all those who love to gamble, a lot of people like think that they are very good when it comes to card games and they are willing to bet on that. When playing people find themselves losing a game or winning lots of money from the streets. The larger population of the gamers is definitely the losing ones. Overtime, people have come up with different ways to cheat in order to win money and one of the reasons is because they have lost money in the past and they want to win it back. This is totally unfair but a lot of people practice it.

TANDAAN: Maging maingat kapag nakita mo ang iyong sarili sa paglalaro ng mga card na may mga tao na hindi mo kilala dahil baka laging kang talo
Ang ilang mga tao ay magkakasama upang dayain nila ang ibang tao ang mga miyembro ng grupo ay nakikipag-usap sila sa isa't isa gamit ng mga palatandaan at signal. Sobrang malas naman upang mahanap ang iyong sarili na magkasama mo ung mga tao na katulad ito
NOTE: Be very careful whenever you find yourself playing cards with strangers because usually you would be on the losing end.
So people group themselves for the sake of cheating, communication is established between members of the group in order to give cheating signs and signals. Whoever find themselves amidst such people is for sure unlucky.

Bakit tuloy-tuloy maglaro ng mga player?
Isa sa mga reason ay, dahil nanalo sila dating naniniwala sila na destined to win sila. Ung ang is a sa mga dahilan kung bakit tuloy-tuloy and laro kahit paubos na ang pera nila. Importante talaga ay malalaman kung kailan ititigil ang paglaro para hindi mo mawala ang lahat.
What usually keeps a player playing?
One of the reasons is because just because they won in the past they believe they are destined to win. That is why the player wouldn't stop playing even if the odds are not in their favor, its very important to know when to stop or else you lose everything.
