Now I know why some online players go on life tilt, lol:

I just finished playing a $22 Bounty trny. 707 players. I'm on the FT 3 left I'm 2nd in chips, I push with KQs, the chip leader misclicks (he later apologized in chat) and calls with 42os and catches his 4 (79486 board runout). Out in 3rd for $707. I only had one bounty the whole game too,

Anyway, wanted to remind everyone that there a 30k Superstack Trny tomorrow at WH. Buyin is 165k. Hope to see you there.

Nah, I am a super PLO fish. I just went there to check out the environment.

Well here is the trip report.


The game is held at a house in the rich neighborhood. The host of the game, whose name I can't reveal here, studied in the states for the past 10 years. He found poker during his time in the states. Anyways, to sum it, he's a gent who comes from the money.

The game consists of players who do well in their respected area of expertise. Two of the players were the 4th gens of the Korean conglomerates or aka "Jaebuls."

Besides them, they either run a successful business, super secret room salons, or etc.

I got the invitation because of a friend of mine who is very tight with the host.

The game ran for hours since it was a weekday but was told it could run for days if players decided to stay and have fun as much as possible.

The game set up:

Two good looking female dealers were dealing on a 30-45 minute basis. I don't know where they were trained but they were probably better than most of the dealers from 7Luck or WH.

An oakwood poker table with an installed vegas like shuffler.

Drinks: A collection of whiskey is available. They only drink alcohol.

Food: Host orders pretty much any kind of food you like by using the apps called, "food fly" or "ddingdong."

Game difficulty: Any decent PLO player should be able to beat the game easily since I could say this with confidence that the game was a full of whales. Players don't care if you are a nit or not. They just love to play cards.
The game was mainly PLO, but the host wanted to mix it up with other poker formats, including 2-7.

Cashier: No cash present. All players just arrive at the game and wire their buy ins using mobile banking app. No worries about not getting paid. These people are LOADED.

Rules: Vegas-like rules. If players tank, then people will call clock if they deem it necessary.

Perks:

I don't know if I should post this, but there were girls on stand by for players' sexual needs.

Super safe game. Lots of political and economy chatters.

No rake dude. NO RAKE.

Just a private game with friendly people who love playing cards.

Tomorrow's the 10K GTD!

₩10,000,000 guaranteed. ₩220,000 buyin for 10000 in chips and 30 min. blinds. 2 hour late registration.

Anyone have an opinion on the pros and cons of late registering for our local tourneys? I know, wrong thread, gotta look it up.

No value on late reg.

Most players are bad in early levels.

Just take their chips asap

See ya there

Thanks Agua. Its just that the thought of having less players to beat/being much closer to the FT that makes LR seem enticing to me. Good luck to us tomorrow. ICM chop at the FT ok?

Yep, today was terrible... Had a few short D/Cs and then one really long, like 5 minute one that killed all my hands and sat me out all my tables. That was the first time in years that that's happened. It's been iffy the last couple of days.

I think I have KT but I remember when I had installed I paid extra for the super stable connection, so pretty pissed about today.
