No but you should still wait till your SN before touching any of your FPPs.

What is living expense like in Thailand?

From time to time at Leo's to test my app out. I recall the rake was pretty high though. They'd normally run £1/£1 with 5% capped at £5. Perhaps that's standard, I don't play live enough to know.

The dealers also had these daft rules. I'd sitout to get some dinner, come back and be told to post every blind I'd missed since I left and not be allowed to wait for the bb. If you've only just arrived your welcome to sit in on the button without posting at all. :/

Cheap as hell. I'm eating out and having 80p curries for breakfast. I've seen apartments in chiang mai going for as little as £50 a month (was pretty much a bed and a toilet though). It's even cheaper outside bangkok.

My internet atm is terrible. Moving to a house soon getting a proper connection.

Only been here 3days. It appears its safe enough. Just don't insult the king or fight any thais (apparently the whole street will jump in against you). There's an ask us about Thailand thread in the travel forum where they could answer anything better than I can.

wow i thought it was crazy in glasgow where if i left the table i did'nt have to post the blinds i missed aslong as i didn't abuse it too much


it's safe to say i always went for a cig when the blinds were next to me and came back on the CO but noone cared


they prob thought i was a fish, waiting for casy to say i am a fish if he knows my SN

Thanks for the info. I was thinking Thailand or Indonesia for my next destination. I'm gonna do some research though and I would pay +300USD/month for a place to live.

Caaaarl, how about stepping up your HH posting game and do it a little more like this:

Spoiler:
PokerStars Zoom No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (6 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://flopturnriver.com/

Hero (Button) ($197)
SB ($95)
BB ($212.92)
UTG ($196)
MP ($561.24)
CO ($267.20)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, A



3 folds, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, BB raises to $14



Hero raises to $30, BB raises to $48, Hero calls $18



Flop: ($97) 8, 5, 5 (2 players)
BB bets $50, Hero calls $50



Turn: ($197) 7 (2 players)
BB bets $90, Hero raises to $99 (All-In), BB calls $9



River: ($395) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $395 | Rake: $2.80

Hero didn't show :A, A (two pair, Aces and fives).
BB had 5, 4 (three of a kind, fives).
Outcome: BB won $392.20

That's a good play in theory. Sorry bro.

The cost to see flop in my case would be a little bit higher especially at deeper stack sizes but most importantly AA never excites me like it would most players and I think you can guess why so I would be lying to add the happy GIFs. Chasing a stupid draw or 3betting TT to 30BB pre is a different story.

flix always wins tho.
in reality: flix is the rake! he is the ****ing rake!
