I won't even comment on all the other stuff you've said so far as it's been covered by most everybody here lol.

But this link should explain to you why what you did is incorrect and how it makes you look like or allows you to do some angling (regardless if you are or not).

Can’t you read what I have posted⁇ Stupid.

Admittedly it's hard to read your rage-fueled drivel.

I'm not opening up any debate about whether you are right or wrong, you are obviously wrong.

And I've seen these physical raise (verbal call) garbage reversed and the user forfeit the hand when cards were examined and they were obviously angling, which of course, is the sole decision of the room.

So no, physical raise does not always trump the verbal call.

What stakes was Naga running? Last I played, the 2/5/10 had disappeared and there was only 1/2nl. Good memories of that place. Wish the games ran 24h. Happy you were only in my games online and not live at Naga/RK Great photos btw.

Proves that you are indeed stupid.

So Warmage now confirmed angle shooting POS?

He's like the Alec Torrelli of Cambodia but with a lot more ego and a less poker skills.

Yea, just two tables of uncapped 1/2 most nights. 2/5 got going only 2-3 times a month. But for a short strech there were some Chinese and Indian guys in town buying in for 1k+

I can defimetly see WarMage do something like that, folding two orbit and cashing out.

After much reflection and advice from PT, this will be my final post. It's simply not worth it to keep getting attacked/threatened both live and online from the trolls. Will stop following this thread for a while too.

For the mother f***ers who have been needling me about short-stacking, hit-and-running, not willing to get into big pots, don't know how to play a big stack, not willing to tip, the picture below speaks for itself.



Started: $100
Cashed out: $1693 (+$1593)
Peaked: $2000+

- For the big pots ($1K and above) I won, I tipped the dealers $5 each
- Was involved in two 4-figure pots where I had a set and made the correct fold (In one pot, one guy had a higher set. In the second pot, one guy had a flush). Standard spots? Try making those folds yourself in my spot, bitches
- Mike, the room owner, asked me to rest up early instead of continuing to play since I was coughing and sneezing. Covering up for a hit-and-run? Go f*** yourself. I declared to Mike and the rest of the table that I am here to play for all my chips, so don't f*** around with me.

For the trolls, hold on while I suck on my pina colada in my "3-dollar a night dorm". By the way, it's 6 dollar/night; it's safe, secure and listed as one of the top dorms on Tripadvisor.

So there will be a new log in name soon, changing the name from WarMage87 to what CryBabyFool1 or AngleShooter? He will continue to back for all of us to read his non-sense, so what will be his new screen name anyway?

And after that you call others low life ...

When you were not posting about poker you made some interesting posts.

+1 on that, you are playing 1/3 live in Cambodia for a living. I'm not sure you can play any lower than that.

Gotta hand it to WM though, he's given some life to this thread.

WarMage87, you should consider Vlogging, like Andrew Neeme/Doug Polk. Would be great to hear your strategy insight.

what a shame. i liked WM's posts too, as it is totally different from the normal ones in this thread. For what it's worth, I like reading your thoughts and I actually think you are a decent player with a decent winrate. Some of your poker strategies/mindset are a little questionable and possibly not optimal for your winrate but who am I to judge.

Anyway, I admire your bravery to quit the normal 9-5 working life and pursue a passion of poker and travel. And you seem to be a winning player too. Nitting up in life is sometimes necessary when you are grinding low stakes to conserve funds, so kudos to you for being able to plan ahead. Sometimes you gotta save as much money as you can in order to survive and keep going. Not many people can do the poker/travel job, so my hats off to you.

Many haters out there but hey, haters will hate, potatoes will potate.
Feel free to continue posting in this thread WM, I for one will be looking forward to reading it.

Fakyou guys whom needling and hating WM thus drive him away from this thread..i like his writing too..

WM,if you read this, don't take internet troll seriously,you know who you are despite all the negative/bad mouths here..

GL Man

WM87, you've got more fans than haters here. Bring back the updates!

As it was my day off yesterday, some players and I hit the town a bit hard last night. We went out drinking until about 4:00 AM and then I took a girl home. When our session ended I told her it was up to her if she wanted to stay or go. It wasn't going to change what I gave her as we were done as far as I was concerned. But as it was late I figured I give her the option of just sleeping on a comfortable bed. She decided to stay and when morning came around I gave her $30, which she didn't seemed thrilled about. She kind of just pouted and stayed on my bed for ten minutes before finally leaving. She never officially asked me for more but it seemed obvious that's what she was upset about. If we had a second go at it that might have been a different story. But she was already showered and looked like she was ready to go. I would have happily obliged had she offered. In either case, I'm sure she'll happily go home again with me again next time. Sorry guys, no pics this time.

What started out as dinner with one friend the other night turned into a group thing as a few players wanted to come as well. So I took them all to what I consider the best Korean restaurant in town, Sik Gaek. The Riverking will usually pick up the tab in these situations so we ended up ordering a lot of food. And the Lebanese themed dinner went so well that we're going to bring in some Mexican/Tex-Mex food on Thursday. Poker, sex and food - much of the same every week here in Cambodia. Not a bad way to live.

I just got a text from a girl I know in Sihanoukville. I guess she's not technically a bar girl as she works as a cashier. We've hung out a few times but I've never been intimate with her. She's one of these girls who has five different Facebook accounts to hide from the barangs that she has a Cambodian boyfriend/husband, claims to be a 24 year old virgin and was the one who told me that if we were ever to get married I would have to give her family $10K. She texts me at the most opportune times as well such as on her birthday when she was in Phnom Penh. It seemed pretty obvious from the texts that she was angling for a dinner or perhaps a birthday gift. I really don't understand guys in "relationships" with bar girls or girls they haven't even banged yet and still get them gifts. Bar girls can be a lot of fun, if you're looking for a specific type of experience. But if you're looking for a relationship, they are absolutely the nut low.

It's been 3 weeks since I came back to NZ from Cambodia and 2 weeks since I started . And man do I miss the place. Work is not very exciting even though the pay is decent. So yeah, basically I am already craving for another holiday!

i was planning to go to Aussie millions in melbourne for the first time in January but was thinking that perhaps a trip back to Khmer land might not be so bad after all. Since I can visit Vietnam and Laos at the same time.

How good are the games normally in January in RK?

High season so they'll be good.

It's interesting how certain things have become a "thing" here since my arrival. I've had occasion to cut off two players in regards to alcohol consumption, with the most recent incident being last night. I don't think the staff here ever thought that was possible prior. So when one of the local bongs was drunk and acting a bit inappropriately on the table, one of the other managers came up to me and suggested that we cut him off. He tried to order one more drink and when that attempt fell unsuccessful, he tried to order a beer. The staff held firm and wouldn't give him that either and to his credit the bong accepted the decision.

It's been an interesting few weeks as the room is running nearly round the clock now with the new $1-$1 Omaha game. I think the game will break a bit early tonight though as we ran the $5-$5 Omaha VIP game today and that took a few players away from the smaller nightly game. In either case, the staff has been stretched pretty thin lately but all things considered they've held up pretty well.

I'm a bit torn to say the least about these games going late as I'm happy at the room's success, but it completely kills my nightlife. Luckily I'm switching back to the day shift tomorrow so that should free up some time again. The switch makes sense as the other manager loves playing Omaha and he'll provide another seat into the game. I really don't play much PLO, if any at all, so I'll be perfectly content running the room during the day and playing a bit of hold'em whenever I can.

The games in Phnom Penh has been getting much tougher than I expected. It's still beatable but I find myself having to work hard for the +EV. I was joking with my table mates (1/2 games) at Naga yesterday that I am making more money playing blackjack (+$55) than grinding poker (-$4) here. Decided to call it a night and took a ride back home. The only reason I'll want to stay on is for "learning" purposes. If I want to make money, I am just wasting my time and energy.

The $5/$5 PLO games ran yesterday. One of the guys who was totally new to PLO decided to jump over from the $1/$3 hold em' games. The reason is simple. He has been logging profitable sessions (+$1K) even though this is his fourth day playing PLO. As juicy as the high stakes game is, I chose to remain seated in the "kiddy" NLHE games. Not going to sell my kidney playing the higher stakes games. This new guy is under-estimating the (negative) variance that can go on in these games. What do I mean? If I can be up +$1K in a 1-1 PLO session, some other players must have lost that $1K. In a 5-5 PLO game, the swings are magnified. Consequently, +$5K/-$5K sessions are possible and within expectations. And $5K is serious money here, way more than what a typical 2+2 troll earns in a month.

I was sneaking peeks at the 5-5 PLO games. The inexperience of this new guy eventually caught up with him. In a hand against a fish I played with regularly, he jammed 55Qx into his 58Ax on a 3467 board. "Oh s***, I misread my hand! I thought I already have a straight!" he exclaimed when they agreed to run it twice and turned over their cards. Mike, the room's owner, seated on his left, reminded him "You need two cards in this game, buddy!" Naturally, the fish's nut straight with nut flush redraw held up twice and he scooped a $600+ pot. Maybe I should have taken shots at the 5-5 PLO games. Maybe.

To be fair, this guy is a very competent hold'em player. Tight, solid, aggressive. But when it comes to Omaha, especially at the higher stakes, he's the hunted, not the hunter.

Btw, if you (the new guy to PLO) happen to read this, please don't feel offended, attack and threaten me in live games, then collude with the rest of the table to play against me. I told PT that if this s*** happens to me again, I'll rack up and take my business elsewhere. I am not a house player so I have the freedom to choose a pleasant playing environment to grind.

Should I head down to Poipet for APT Southeast Asia 2017 from 1st to 7th July?

I first played in APT Cambodia two years ago, min-cashed in a charity tournament for $360. It was held in Sihanoukville and I totally loved the beaches/$2 blackjack/cheap food etc. Ideal place for a 63-year-old farang to retire. Unfortunately, I got pretty bored of the small town after a while and decided to head back home after APT ended.

How about Poipet then? With Google, it's easy to do my due diligence online.
- 7 hours drive from Phnom Penh. It's OK because I can choose to stop over in Siem Reap/Battambang for a short day trip
- "Scam" city
- Poker exists but the games are dirty, meaning cheating and collusion is rampant. Look, if the poker room is going to collect rake from me, at least provide a clean/fair game

At this point, I am 80% negative on going to Poipet. Until I approached PT to ask about the poker scene. What he shared pretty much confirmed my first impressions of the city.

Am I still heading down to Poipet for poker? Nah...
