Hey, thanks for your quick reply man.
That really sounds awful :-D I would probably more or less only play online.
I heard about the "good" mobile internet. I hope it is enough to play. Sihanoukville is really attracting since it is so close to the beaches.

That place seems awesome, I definitely fell in love again triad

Thank you. As long as the girls keep letting me take the photos and videos, I'll keep doing it. That's one good thing about the Rose Bar is that one girl is a total exhibitionist.

Get Smart mobile when you're down there as it worked the best for me. Also, the best beaches are Otres 1 and Otres 2. Hawaii Beach would probably be the next best one. Serendipity is the most popular but also the dirtiest.

Do Opennet not service Snooky? On their website they seem to have a branch there so they must do..

http://opennet.com.kh/news/adsl/adsl...for-provinces/

Surely a must if you're an online grinder, I've used them in PP & an hour outside of PP and never had an issues.. unlimited usage, no disconnections & good customer service.

There is Opennet in Sihanoukville, but the internet infrastructure is not as well built out as Phnom Penh. Generally speaking, for all companies you'll have to pay more for slower speeds. Even in Phnom Penh I've always tethered to my phone when playing online. It uses very little data and it has almost never failed me.

I think PokerTriad said the Snooky $1/$1 game hourly average was $5-$8. Should be listed back in the thread around late October 2016 if I remember right. There was also some info about max buy ins for those games on or around the same page. Some good info there about the Snooky games.

Also interested in RK expected hourly average.

Generally you can carry as much money into and out of countries as you like but if it is over $10,000 you have to declare it and probably fill out a form explaining where it's from. If you plan on carrying more than $10k into Australia for example you can contact the customs office and recieve a copy of the declaration form before you depart.

It might be worth contacting customs in your home country before you depart, explain that you're travelling abroad to play some high stakes poker and enquire what the procedure would be to bring the money back.

The figure given for Sihanoukville by a previous poster is correct, roughly $5-$8 per hour. My current hourly is about $11, but my sample size is small as I haven't played as much since I got hired by the room. I both expect and hope it'll be higher over time. I believe Yazzx is running at about $20 per hour. I posed the question to another regular who's played in the room nearly since it's opening. His answer was basically that it depended on the lineup. His average for "standard" lineups was $28-$30, whereas for insane lineups with some of the locals upwards of $50+ per hour. Perhaps it should be noted that I consider this player to be the best in the room. Hope that answers your question.

I don't think winrate/hour is a good indicator of how good the game is at River King.

If you get big hands during the session, you can be up insane amounts. If you get coolered (AA vs KK, AK vs AA etc.), you can be down 2 to 3 buy-ins.

My biggest winning session during my 5 days in Cambodia was the 1/2 game at Naga Casino. I make $300 USD over 3 hours? This was because I jammed AK into JJ and 55. Win rate is $100/hour!?

For River King, my biggest winning session was $250 USD over 2 hours. That was because I flopped a set over one of the player's KK. That makes my win rate $125/hour?

A more accurate indicator would be to look at how you did session to session. Did you play individual hands well? Did you call off too light against opponents? Did you 3-bet/4-bet your value hands etc.

Generally, the games in Phnom Penh are kind of soft. I never had a losing day during my 5 days here and I wasn't even playing my A game. I was here more on a holiday and to have a chill session over live poker.

Hourly is a great indicator of how the games run over a long period of time if you're a good player, they're not talking about hourly rate over one session obviously.

No need to be a piece of **** if you are not getting the answer you want.

you can't compare one of the best locations for live poker on the world with a third world country like cambodia,the player pool here is obv really small,in best case rk has 2 table holdem running,so the options to table select are pretty limited and you have to play a lot of lineups which vegas regs wouldn't play because they can just change the table or casino which isn't possible in cambodia..

also if you play day in day out against more or less the same players at some point even the fish will adjust against your play style which cost you a lot of ev in the long run..

so if you're a vegas live pro who's looking for the best hourly you definitely should stay there,doub't there a lot of better locations than were you are

despite of that it's hard to believe that even in vegas a lot of regs are able to make a $50+/h on 2/5 over decent sample (1k+ hours) at least without promos..

You do not know dozens of regs in Vegas who win upwards of $50-$70 per hour at $2-$5 NL, I assure you.

I agree with you Sam, but I think in discussions such as these the talk of hourly win rate is rather pointless. I have tried to answer the question as honestly as I can, but at the end of the day such talk is meaningful only among those who know each other well or those who play against each other regularly.

As you already know I lived and played in Vegas for six years and it's not really that great of a location for poker. If we're talking about $2-$5 there are really only four, maybe five, rooms that spread it daily. You're often facing similar grinders as yourself and you'll often find that tourists prefer to play the smaller $1-$2 games. That having been said I certainly agree with you that it still can't be compared to a place like the Riverking in terms of game selection. But I would never make such a comparison and contend that the Riverking game, and Naga to an extent, is a good one in the context that it exists in. This coupled with the lifestyle that exists here is basically why I decided to stay.

My present plan is to stay in Cambodia, but who can tell the future? If I were to go back to the States I doubt it would be to Vegas; been there, done that. And I doubt Yazzx would go either unless they had a branch of the Candy Bar.

I'm down $1,100 in the last two days so I decided to take the day off. I still went into the Riverking as I was helping to run the weekly Tournament. We had a less than a stellar turnout today, but we were all expecting this as it's the Chinese New Year. All things considered I was still happy about the prize pools and glad that we were able to get two tables. It's been a really long week for me but luckily there are two good massage parlors in the area. So the three of us went to get a massage, something we often do as it's only $6 for an hour. Then we decided to get a late dinner at a local dim sum place. That bill came out to $96, but there were six of us so it wasn't too bad. We stopped in at the Shanghai Bar, which is Phnom Penh's longest standing girlie bar at 15 years. I bought a girl a couple of lady drinks and it turned out she was thirty years old. One of my friends remarked that she wasn't my usual choice of 18-20 year olds that I seem to be keeping company with lately. What can I say? I like them a little young or a little old; don't like the middle.

Stopped in at Pontoon the other night to wish a friend who was hanging out there a happy birthday. For those of you who have ever wondered what it looks like inside a Phnom Penh nightclub:

yeah my post was directed to the people who are only looking for the best games..there is obv a lot more to cambodia than the livegames even if you're playing for a living..

also a ~$20/h in cambodia is way more worth than a ~$20/h in vegas and if i add the kind of lifestyle i can life here compared to my european home country i'm still way more happy about my overall situation here than back at home

damn haha is this like a main club? what night was this?

My hourly at Riverking is between $20-25 over a sample of almost 300 hours... This doesn't include my first 2 weeks playing there where I ran really well so that will push my hourly avg up a bit..

Nice of you to hold back on the two weeks as to not make the rest of us feel too bad. #yazzxrunninggood

My run bad continues. I open raised on the button with T8o, get called in both blinds. Flop comes QJ9. We get it all in on the flop and of course he had KT. #roughlife
