my buddy and i degened so much at roulette at 7luck over the span of 18 months or so that we had a host who we could call to send us a driver at any time. they'd drive us home after too. we were martingaling fools. i got lucky to end up only down about 5k. my buddy is a complete luckbox but like anybody else doing this he lost about 30k one month and we never went back.

Wow, thanks for googling things for me. I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!. I'm sorry you don't like my opinions but PLEASE, UNDERSTAND MY CULTURE!.

Xenophobia in the media

A hate group called Anti-English Spectrum has been widely consulted by Korean newspapers about an alleged spree of foreign crime, which is mostly fabricated.[11] In 2008, Seoul.com issued a press release referring to foreigners as "poisonous mushrooms" and "viruses". In their official apology, the website stated that "our English is much better than [the critics'] Korean" and that "they must learn the Korean culture of statics".[12] In 2009, the Chosun Ilbo, one of Korea's largest newspapers, ran a week-long series of articles alleging foreigners were entering Korea deceptively to ensnare Korean women. in June 2012 when viewers got outrage when MBC released documentary on Korean women's troubled relationship with foreign men [13][14][15][16] Korea times reported that anti foreigners groups on rise [17]

Cliffs: You haven't been here long enough!.

I'm not saying all Korean people are bad/racist but overall its not the nicest place for non-Koreans. Look at who is defending bad behavior! They are Korean-born person). I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Korea is a great country but Koreans need to realize that how you treat guest affects who they feel about your country.
If you don't like what feel about this country then change your attitudes towards NON-KOREANS.

Also, 60 people! Wow, what a sample size. I've seen 300 come and go from this island. 90% haven't come back. I wonder why with your amazing generosity.

Are Korean people bad. Nope. Are they prejudices about foreigners. Yes, they are. Not all but most men are.

Also, JJKKYY, YOu have insulted me 5 times in this thread and I have never said a thing about you. You have called me a drug using, whore ****ing, no life, loser who can't get a job yet I stil haven't attacked you. Seems pretty standrad for Korean men to do this.

You say you're American but you play the korean card when you can and then play the American card next turn. So who do you look like more?








Which is it? It's obs to me! You blend in with the crowd here and I don't.

Sorry for the derail guys. I've been kind of lurking this thread for a while but never posted in it. I guess I'll start posting some stuff to help poker players out to make up for this travesty of a derail. I've actually met a few 2+2ers here and it was a pretty cool experience.

tonight was my last time playing live poker for a while out at walker. my wife is 38 weeks pregnant so its gonna be online poke for a while. took 7th for a whopping 600k won.

no hard feelings jjyykk, at least by me. it is what it is. this is my fav thread to check out on here cause i like hearing from the korean poker scene. any other current walker hill regs on here besides me?

one of my favorite degen nights:

my best friend in seoul was literally like, the most degenerate gambler i ever met. he is the kind of guy that jae bitches about (don't worry man he's going back to USA in the fall)...****s hookers, is an alcoholic, had a **** job back home that paid 10$/hr despite him having a degree from a really good uni. anyway he went home last summer for a few months, came back and we proceeded to go on a massive bender the first night i saw him. he got a settlement bonus from his hagwon, i was living in itaewon at the time, and after chilling at my place for a bit we went to go drink heavily at club family mart then play beer pong at a bar on hooker hill for at least an hour or two. we were playing drinking games on the side as well (had a deck of cards and would randomly throw two on the ground whoever had lowest card had to do a shot). we were also betting 30 a game plus the cost of the beers. i crushed him and he lost 120$ to me. next we went to one of the juicy bars on hooker hill (one of the one next to debut) when my friend gets smashed he gets really generous also so he ends up buying like 6 drinks for his girl while i get like 1 or 2. ofc nothing happens and he leaves all tilted.

he's also tilted from losing some money at pool and having spent so much "dude i have to get my money back...lets go to 7luck"
"idk man i don't play table games anymore" (was true i was playing poker full time and hadn't played any degen (casino) games in a long time)
"dude you're running hot tonight you'll leave ahead"

i'm drunk as **** so i obv go cause they have free booze at 7luck. i see they've replaced the hand shuffle with machines at the BJ tables and i lose my first few bets so i go to play roulette. btw there is like no one there since this is a thursday morning. i had read about betting a roulette "mat" on 2+2 a few days before in the chuck bass BBV thread (basically you bet a lot on one number, then bet on all the numbers around it as well). i alternate between 11 and 17 (my bday so its lucky) and i hit my center number twice and outer numbers 4x in like 7 bets, am up like 800$ almost instantly. w00t, ty chuck bass that advice made me way more money than your training vids.

i go play BJ and martingale and i lose 400$ immediately. i also am so drunk that my friend makes a joke at the BJ table and i end up snorting beer out my nose all over my shirt and pants and get cut off . i then go back to roulette table where i can get served and do same betting system, win back my BJ losses +50, go play BJ again, lose another 400$ martingaling, get tilted realize i need the money/its 8am/i should. my friend was having crazy swings, was up 1.4k at one point, and is now down to his last 60 bucks or so. i tell him "hey we should probably go you got work today and you're gonna be busto soon"
"nah i have 600k won more in the atm, i'm gonna go grab it no way i'm not leaving here at least even"
"ya that's probably not a good idea i'm gonna go home talk later bud"

i wake up to see a texted photo of a wallet stuffed full of 50k bills, he said he couldn't even close his wallet cause he cashed for so much. went to work drunk as **** and up 3k or so. sick thing was if he hadn't had to work he would've stayed at 7luck and lost it all back. we had some good times with that money in hongdae weeeeeeeeeeee.

maybe me soon because of how i've been running lately. thailand = runbad. looking into getting back into ESL teaching to rebuild my roll maybe. if i do that i'll be playing 20hrs/wk at walker again soon as i get first paycheck.

Congrats on both ends. Wish you the best no matter what.

lolol hope you are enjoying Thailand. If you come back here, let's grind online. I'm down to coach some grinders who live in Korea if they are nice people. maybe we should start a grind house..

man I wanted to make it to the 10m won guaranteed tournament should have been visiting walker hill

Says for EU residents only.

good post, you guys derailed the **** out of this thread.


really good post. This is fun.

My buddy is teaching near Busan and some of the local teachers say that they make more from the underground games than they do teaching each month. Might not be a bad Idea to check them out. Illegal games obvs but juice from what I've heard.

Not poker story but still very interesting:

So about 10 years ago when the first bunch of foreign teachers came to Jeju. They were given a tour of the island by the higher ups. It turned into a booze cruise and they all got wasted while getting driven around. So how Brad, new teacher, with long black hair and facial hair.
1 of the teachers, Brad (not really name) decided he wanted to go swimming. So he stripped down to his underwear jumped in. After he was done he went back and looked for his clothes but he got pushed down the beach a few hundred yards.
Being totally wasted and unsure where he was he hopped a fence and cut his leg. Now Brad was completely lost and had no ride home but he found a 4 wheeler with the keys so he stole it and tried driving back to his place.

So here is a foreigner with long black hair in his underwear driving a 4 wheeler down the main street with a bleeding leg. Not too long cops get called and pick him up.
Long story short the higher ups got him off since the Korean people who owned the 4 wheeler thought it was funny as hell. Best story I've heard on the island.
Cheers.

I frequently go to a local bar that is mostly (95%+) Korean Ajoshis. almost every day around midnight a bunch of them are drunk and want to gamble. The owner closes the doors and we have a lock in til eventually someone goes broke, they will never leave no matter how much they are up or down, until someone says 'that's it, no more cash'/ 'card is finished''. They dont use chips, only cash, or pay on their cards to the bar and he gives them cash. its pretty common to play from 9pm friday night til about 3pm the next afternoon. That only breaks up because the older guys start to fall asleep. They play a mix of Omaha, Seven Card and a variation of holdem where you get two cards, , one face down one face up, then they pretty much just agree how much they wanna bet on their hand cap it at that, then turn all the cards up and see what happens. They often give back half of the pot if they win and they feel that their opponent was 'unlucky' especially if its the river or the 'hidden card' as they like to call it. The games are sooo soft and they have no sense of when its time to stop. Its more like a pride thing and its pure gamble for them. They have the blinds/antes strangely, they have no blinds, only an ante of a chonwon per player and the winner of the last hand pays all the antes for everyone at the table for the next hand. Usually 6-8 guys play so the pot starts at 6-8,000 then betting starts which is capped at pot ('betting pot' they call 'full betting') almost everyhand someone ends up getting all in, especially in the omaha rotation. The games are fun, everyone drinks, and in general (barring the obvious drunken banter) no one argues about winning or losing. These games maybe illegal but since every 7/11 and gs25 sells several kinds of plastic playing cards I think it's fairly safe to say that this is common throughout Korea. They are surprisingly nice to me considering I don't really gamble it up their style, play tighter than them and just valuetown them hard out when ive a made hand. I'd be willing to travel down to Busan to play in the underground games if they run regularly and play bigger.. anyone got more info about those games?

Changil Jeong is a scammer. He will scam you. He is a thief. He is also known as Charles Jeong.
I am writing this for anybody who happens to reside in Korea and is thinking about going on a trip with him. He created a facebook group called "Lovable Busan" and organized trips for hundreds of foreigners throughout Korea. This is a front. He is a known thief and is not to be trusted. If you are thinking of giving him any money, don't. He is currently wanted by the police for fraud. He owes millions of won and is currently a wanted criminal. He has been doing this for years. If you are owed money speak up because this is the only thing that will stop him from doing this in the future. He has continually swindled people because nobody has spoken up and alerted other foreigners in Korea.
Changil Jeong. Charles Jeong. Lovable Busan. Thief. He steals money. Con man. Fraudulent behavior.

So he owes thousands of dollars?

money's money. i thought you were the economist around here.

also pretty sure everyone posting in this thread knows how much a million won is but thanks for reminding us. not to many tour operators are able to scam a million dollars showing people around the DMZ...that'd be almost as impressive as it would be reprehensible.

The Loveable Busan was created by people who got scammed by this guy. I did a quick FB search and it seems to be his victims of what happened.

1 nice thing about Korea is how safe it is relatively to other parts of the world.

oh and thanks about the heads-up for the scammer.

No, it was not created by people who got scammed by him (perhaps you are thinking of the refund group). People joined it thinking they were going on legitimate trips, only to find out that he was not going to be there when they arrived. He started the group in order to fleece people out of their money. There were trips involved, but the bottom line is that he is a wanted criminal because of his fraudulent behavior associated with this group and possibly others.
It is a relatively safe country, but there are still many ways to be ripped off, don't let your guard down thinking it is a perfect place.

Yes. The exact figure is not known, although it certainly seems to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.

I don't see how my experience in Korea, or anyone's has derailed this thread! Just because you don't like what I'm saying doesn't mean it isn't true. It also doesn't mean it's how someone else feels.
Also, I've been in Korea since 2007 and I know people who have lived here for 12 years +. I think my experiences are pretty solid.

Just wanted to announce that my wife and I had our first child yesterday morning named Tayden!
