i'm taking classes at sogang right now, and i also took classes at a smaller school in hongdae called ganada. Sogang is better, and pretty much everyone confirms its the best program. more expensive, though.

their free website is a good start http://korean.sogang.ac.kr/

I can confirm that. If you want to learn the language sogang seems to be the best choice. yonsei isnt that bad either but after school finishes people who are comfortable speaking in english will speak english which makes the learning process a little bit more slower. My former girlfriend studied at sogang and i studied in yonsei ten years again, comparing their school books i liked sogangs more...

thx, best advice ive had. you seem to be a very a smart one

yea theres only like huge amounts of discussion on walker hill + coex and the APPT event that was held in seoul. or if you're too lazy to read the thread can just google 'poker in korea'.

shouldn't be too tough for genius like yourself

Hey ya'll, good thread.

I moved to Seoul from Vancouver about a month ago. My gf is from here and we've decided to live here for at least a year after having lived in Vancouver for 5 years. It's definitely a completely different world out here, but having my Korean gf with me makes everything about a million times easier. I've registered with Yonsei's KLI program for 2 terms (6 months) which starts at the end of June, so until that time we're traveling around Korea a bit.

Been meaning to go check out Walker Hill's poker room during a weekend to see what it's like and play a bit of 1/2. The insane rake is not ideal, but I'm not here to be a full-time pro anyways.

If anyone has any questions about Seoul or Korea in general just ask here or PM me

welcome to Korea buddy! like its been said before I'm sure, weekends are the best time for Walker Hill. Good tourneys every saturday and generally soft games after the tourney. rake sucks, but if your looking for just some fun now and again Walker Hill is your place.

the waitresses there are so hot. i miss korea...

a couple id say, not em all. must be in seattle cause u wouldnt miss korea in vegas right lol?

actually in NYC lol. there was this one waitress that i had a huge crush on. i forgot her name

a couple good looking ones for sure. imo there are 2 maybe 3 "hot" ones and then most are average, older or dudes lol

quick question for ya BearJew. i know its vegas not seoul related but curious to your opinion of which games in vegas will have the best game for 2/5 and 5/10? Think Rio is the best bet cause of the traffic(WSOP) or the usual Aria, Bellagio and Venetian be the best? Your location has vegas so im assuming you will know Vegas as a whole better than me...thanks bro

from my experience 2-5 seems to be about the same at Venetian/Wynn/bellagio/aria, it's more about how big/deep you want these games to play. the max buying are - Venetian 1k/Wynn1.5k/aria 1k/bellagio 500. I personally enjoy playing at the Wynn because it plays deeper and there's something unique about Wynn fish who can afford to pay 500+ a night to stay there. usually a bit smarter but still novice card players and have deeper pockets in general. Venetian is good for game selection, so is bellagio but the game is much shorter. aria has pretty good action as well. 5-10 wise, the Wynn games are probably the toughest in town, while bellagio/aria is probably the softest. Wynn/Venetian are uncapped fwiw. I've played quite a bit at the rio last year and thought there were tons of grinders and nits, wasn't too fond of the action, although I only really played nights. I honestly think Wynn, +++++ guarantee the hottest waitresses in town haha. feel free to pm me for my Skype

cool man thx for the info. heading for a week in june with a buddy to play a couple WSOP events but wanna get in on some cash too. will have to check out the wynn and probably the Aria as well.

Oh and if any of you guys are into ice/ball hockey at all, there's a really well run ball hockey league in Seoul and it's tons of fun, check it out: http://www.cbhk.org/.
