Vietnam is >>>>> Cambodia if you do not need live pokers.

He meant (correct me if I am wrong) that the opening raise in Naga's 1/2 often averages $20 (much like a 3/6) and the post flop bets are sized accordingly. There is NO CAP in the buy-in and thus the game plays very big.

Ah, thanks for the explanation and answer.

OP , I've been living in Thailand for the last 8 months and I've been considering trying cambodia next. A few questions if you don't mind.

How would you describe the beach there?

3 Casinos..have you played there? what are the stakes, players like, rake?

Do you have a bank account in Cambodia?

I play SNGs as well, 18 mans on stars, what/where do you play?

cheers,

Adam

i agree totaly. tough things changing for the good...not Sihanoukville tough.And i visit the country for many many years(never lived there but think all time spend could count for a very long stay and a reasonable insight in the country and minds of the people...

I do find the people more genuine then thailand and in general more honnest as well.

the 1-2 games are limited...its the 2-5 that dont have a limit buy in...at least until few months back....i am just back from Cambodia but i was with some friends that dont play poker so i didnt bother to go to Naga....but i am almost sure my info is still accurate

guy this thread is sweet

lets keep the discussions on topic

1/2 games unlimited buy-in - 100% confirmed as of April 24th (my last session at naga)

ok ok that must have changed(ask the regulars) i was playing from the very beginning Naga spread NL until somewhere june 2010 and then it was like i said but i am sure you right i am not arguing as said i didnt visit Naga last week.


and btw there is a nice public swimigpool in town check it out.

whats off topic? is this thread about cambodia?

whatever happened to OP? Khmer Rouge kidnap him? lol

he was so green and full of Sihanoukville after hardly been there few weeks he thought he knew it all and was in heaven on earth,i geuss he came down to earth and maybe back home.wouldent surprise me at all.

Oh Yea,

Availability of good weed?

In case you didn't notice, OP stopped writing in this thread. He disappeared like people tend to do over there

Cambodias gonna cambood...

Aside from being a country of child rapists, Cambodia is also crammed with former Khmer Rouge henchmen. These killing machines who were enlisted as young children to kill on daily basis are now in their 40s and 50s and are as used to kill as they were in their early teens. Just because they took off their Mao hats and put on fake designer shirts it doesn’t mean they forgot how to pull the trigger or hack a head off. Having killed dozens of people since they were kids and never facing any repercussions or punishment for it, these people are all over Cambodia and still have the same guns and explosives they were given when they were recruited to kill. Unpunished and allowed to live freely after countless murders, these men and women are but a small part of a large group of armed and dangerous killers Cambodia is full of. Regardless of whether you believe those who say that Cambodia is safe or those who say that Cambodia is dangerous, by visiting Cambodia you will be entering a country where Khmer Rouge murderers roam freely, equipped with uncontrolled and regulated military grade weapons. Instead of believing one side or another, draw your own conclusions based on facts. Take a close look at the type of people who make up much of the society and the picture should be quite clear.

C'mon man. "crammed full of former Khmer Rouge Henchmen", "all over Cambodia still armed", "murderers roam free"...

This isn't even close to true. Sure there are some criminal elements in Cambodia and it surely is more dangerous than Western countries or it's SEA neighbours but it's not nearly as bad as you're making out. For the most part the people here are wonderful; warm, friendly and charming. The overwhelming majority of people who visit Cambodia will experience nothing more than a few small scale scams.

Like many countries a bit of common-sense goes a long way to avoiding theses types of situations. ie. don't travel at night in quite areas with your Rolex on

tell me more tell me more

was it a gun at first sight

did u put up a fight?

Sucks the OP is gone... does anyone ITT actually live in Cambodia now?

Are there any type of sports leagues there? Softball/baseball?

in PP right now been having a great time, going to naga again tonight and leaving back home tomorow

Whats the "smoking" situation like at Naga?

If you are talking about cigarettes, they smoke like it is their job. That, and the lack of game selection (sometimes you only have one 1/2 table running), are the only bad things I can say about Naga. Good games, great structures (unlimited buy-ins on all NL games!), comp buffet after 2 hours of play, free beer, good dealers, good floor.

I have a detailed write-up about naga ITT.

If you were talking about bananas, Cambodia is one of the best places in the world to enjoy such smokeables in terms of public / police tolerance - but I would not partake inside Naga itself.
