Next is APT Manila and Pokerstars Live Manila Super Series 2.

I'll do my updates from Facebook since it's irrelevant to post Manila stuff in a Cambodian 2+2 thread.
There's many PI threads, you welcome to post there

Lately how many tables get going on a regular day, and at what range of stakes?

During low season we'll get a holdem game that starts around 1:00 PM. The stakes are $2-$4 with a minimum buy-in of $200 and a maximum of $1,000. The PLO game starts around 4:00 PM and is either $2-$5 or $5-$5 depending on the lineup. The min/max for the first game is $250 and $2,000 and for the latter $400 and $4,000.

I went out with a friend for dinner as free food is great, but once in a while it's good to eat somewhere other than where you work. We went to a place called Himajin just down the street, a place that's rising on my list of favorite restaurants in town. Everything was good except for the Japanese pancake. Then we went out with some other players around the usual spots along the Riverside. When we ended up at 104 I ran into my stalker. I told her to stop calling me all the time like a crazy person. Perhaps it was a bit of a hurtful thing to say, but it needed to be said and I think she got the point. We finished the night at Sorya where I took the worst girl ever. I'm assuming that she must have just started in this line of work. I'll probably have more of these late nights as I and the other manager have switched shifts and now I can sleep in a bit.

I get it... you don't do nightlife, you like day trips which is fair enough however you talk a lot about poker and seem terrible at it which why I and some others may not be able to get behind the blogs. I still cringe at the nit roll with the pocket 3's.

I've tried to be positive with the guy. I was hoping he was talking his hands out on the thread for some constructive criticism, but he seems to know it all. I don't buy that he isn't a social butterfly, posting hundreds of posts about your poker life and personal traits Is very open. Most guys posting their hands, don't add their personal B.S. with it. it's a clear review of a hand, and that's it. Maybe he likes that he has a captive audience here.....Bottom line, if he is going to post, he shouldn't his panties twisted when someone shares their opinion

So one or two tables? Full ring right?

And no $1/$2 or $0.50/$1? Asking for a friend who plays casually, I know the rake makes it not even worth it.

I don't think the game would ever get as low as $.50-$1 in this room. We've tried $1-$2 here and the locals just don't like it. If we ever did do a regular $1-$2 game here, we probably would do a different rake for it. Although don't quote me on that.

There's a place for everything. Not everyone has to be into banging whores and drinking all the time. If people don't want to read his stuff, it'll work itself out. And if people do, the same.

You said that I "seem terrible at" poker. I hope you are willing to put (real) money on the line to back that statement up.

I'll be in Manila the next three weeks. You are more than welcome to play against me if you are around. Let me know the date/time/location/stakes. I can do RK too. Feel free to give me a ping.

By the way, do you even have a Hendon Mob Page? I wonder, hmmm.....

Why are you posting? Obviously your posting for reason, what is it? I've tried to be positive with you, but your really coming across as a douche. If your not posting to help your game or someone elses, why post. You haveca captive audience here, so what's the point. You talk about yourself, but the controdict yourself in the next post.

He's making posts about his experiences playing cash games in Cambodia. This isn't a blog and it doesn't cost anyone here any money to read it. He doesn't need to defend his reasons for making posts or even give them at all if he doesn't want to. None of his posts in this thread have violated the terms of the website therefore he's free to post and to keep posting them, and as stated everyone else is free to either read or not read them as they see fit.

He is under no obligation to write posts that Samcx, Going2Asia, or Fatbonesbluehat approve of and want to read. He doesn't owe the three of you a damn thing.

Well of course, I totally agree. By the same token, he doesn't have to read people's responses. And as long as he is posting, he will get a response. No violation of terms calling out his bad poker etiquette, or horrible plays.

The Naga 1-2 will be his best bet. Not as good of a game anymore now that some RK regs populate it but it's still poker.
Also the dealers aren't as bad as PT makes them sound. Are they the best? Of course not but not that big of a deal. The poker room management itself though is a total joke, just have to let **** roll off your back and remember you're in Cambodia/SEA. Western logic isn't very prolific.

I try not to BS too much on this forum and as such the dealers at Naga are quite terrible at the moment. Shortly after your last trip here they cycled in a new batch of dealers that were new hires that had never dealt any game before, let alone poker.
