thanks I now feel much better about the upcoming trip!

Is anybody going to Jeju this sunday or next week for WPT Jeju?

With help of my friend, I tried out several underground cash games in Gangnam Area.

Oh man, I wish the guys who played in these games could play at Walker Hill.

Mostly games are 1/2 or 2/5 and everyone at table brings in 400bb+

Crazy PF action. Every open-raise is like 10bb and nobody folds..

Post flop, people tend to stack off super light..


One thing I did not like was that there was a 10 second time limit to make a decision.

How well do you speak the language?

Are you not afraid of collusion or just being turned over as you leave if you have a winning session!

I have Ph.D in Korean Poetics.

I dont wanna go too much in details about this but lots of the games are rigged

Yeah, I've heard about rigged games as well. I guess it worked out for me this time.

How can I get money into Skrill from Korea?

You either send a wire or buy funds from intermediaries a.k.a sports gambling degens.

Finally!!!

Effective January 1st, No Smoking at Walker Hill Casino. (Except in specially designated smoking booth)

Thank you Walker Hill!

You've forgot to mention restrooms.

^^

Yeah, no doubt that some players will be taking a lot more "bathroom" breaks, lol.

Ok, will never go back to WH then.

This is great news about WH, although it won't be popular overall. It will affect my decisions about going there a little...sometimes I've been in Seoul for other reasons and thought about going for a few hours but really didn't want to get my clothes and skin coated with nastiness and didn't go. Being a light traveller, I rarely bring much more than I'm wearing for just an overnight trip, and, well, there's no showers way up on that hill either for us poorer folks... :-\

Maybe I'm too sensitive but apparently there must be a lot of others who don't like it or they'd never have done this.

I'm also happy for the dealers.

Smoking was always away from the poker tables. The pit dealers would have to deal with it more than the poker dealers.

Having a designated place to smoke is good. I guess it'll be similar to Seven Luck I figure.

Wish Walker would try something clever and steal market share from COEX. Think most players prefer Walker to 7luck.

Was first time back after a year away and I wish they had more tables,was there last night and they had 18 on the waiting list.
What happened to the 2 spare tables they last year they set up in the weekends when it was busy?

staffing and a general amount of dgaf about poker.

Update on Walker-Hill:

- You can order food now. Say good bye to sandwiches. (*. Two people from Poker room at a time.)

- New management has taken over.

- No news on relocation.

- APPT Seoul has now been postponed to September due to the construction at the casino, which has been taking forever.

- Bad Beat Jackpot will be done and gone once it is hit for the last time. (Bad Beat Jackpot is currently sitting at 36 million won.)

Any reason for the new management? I always thought they did a good job there.

Hostile Takeover.

Was there last year for about 6 weeks and i could honestly say the best pokerroom i had ever been too.
Great service and very well run
This year i cant say it has gone bad but just didnt get as good a feel for the place.
It has move into the corner at the back and is very crowded and tight. They have lost a couple of spare tables (maybe due to the construction??)
But when i see 4 baccarat tables not even open on a saturday night makes me wonder why they dont have room for a few temporary poker table instead.
Most of the staff seemed ok and a few were even funny, the speed of the game is very good as well
The one thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was how long people can be away from the table. I get there and am number 6 on the list to get on( i dont mind waiting for how ever long, it is part of the game) and i notice a free seat with reserve on it.
After 15 minutes one of the players ask if that guy was coming back and the manager told him to relax he has got 30 minutes in a way that i though was rude.
After about 40-45 minutes they finally decide to give the seat up and let someone sit there.
Lucky i got there early and finially got kn after 2 hours waiting. It just kinda shocked me that they dont have more table ready too go on the weekends when they know they will get over 20 people waiting to play.
For what it is worth is still 10x better than coex just a little disappointed that this place is going downhill

Poker room is not operated by the casino. It still has been outsourced to a third party company, which is not in any way affiliated with the casino.

Staffs, imo, have been struggling to make do with what they have given the construction that's been going forever. (It's supposed to be finished by April of this year.)

I've heard 7Luck will try to outsource its poker room to a third party company as well.

Non-smoking bathrooms, but ajussis don't care lol

Really?

That's what I had heard from others.
