Why did you move off?

because i moved back to the land of the free

also i'm in law school now so i can someday protect freedom in court so i doubt i'll be on stars anytime soon.

also kinda lol but http://gaming.unlv.edu/abstract/south_korea.html

gaming revenue at the one casino koreans are allowed = all the revenue for the other 16 foreigner-only casinos combined. gambollllllllll

From my experience the ones of Jeju were huge money traps outside of major events. They might be better off now with Jeju bringing more international crowds of people. The rake for bj games was outrages and some of the rules sucked too.

You can play on stars, if you don't see any Sk players - you're probably not playing on their time . Vivian Im is the only person I know sponsored by PS. Full Tilt sponsored a bunch of players back in the day before Black Friday

Cash outs are definitely tricky tho. I had a checks sent to me but they take forever to clear. I usually just trade people for cash. But I am also a Canadian citizen so I can cash out to Canada

wtf is blackjack rake lol

ha ha tired today.

so does poker run at gangwon, looks like only table games?

I've never been to this place but it's 30 mins from my house. I might check it out some night but I bet no poker. I know Jeju didn't as of last year.

Just FYI,

I just read on 7lucks webpage that effective last Monday 2/4/14, they have 4 poker tables open 24 hrs at Gangnam (COEX).

Walker Hill is also running 24 hours a day. They have on their webpage that the first 5 people (at 7am) get 20% of their buyin back at 12pm, max rebate is 100,000 won. You must play til 12pm though.

I wonder if 7 Luck now opened up a 1-2 table? I went there about a year ago and they only had 2-5 running. I feel like with 4 tables going they should def have 1-2 going now.

Jeju Island the next macau?

Singaporean company looking to build 2.2b casino on jeju

Interesting.

There wont be any 1-2 table in seven luck, 100% sure.

I see. What stakes do they have there now? 2-5 and 5-10?

They display "5-10" and "10-20" on the screen, but it never ever runs. The situation basically hasn't changed at all.

hey guys!
in a couple weeks i will be moving from canada to seoul to grind for at least a couple months…

pretty good article about korea still being behind the times despite great technology

Since just past Lee Myeong Bak and current Park Geun Hye government we have been undergoing very dark and gloomy age. Apparently free, but really suppressed.

From the article:

"A law dating back to the Korean war forbids South Korean maps from being taken out of the country. Because North and South are technically still at war, the law has been expanded to include electronic mapping data—which means that Google, for instance, cannot process South Korean mapping data on its servers and therefore cannot offer driving directions inside the country."

I don't think thats accurate as just about everyone driving uses gps maps in their vehicles. And I just used Google maps, including streetview, to look around different cities, punching in different points. All the listings come up, metro/bus/car distances info etc, as well as directions.

One thing I think is great here is that in most cites, most bus stops have an electronic video monitor, telling you how many minutes the bus is away from you, where it is currently located and all their route info.

UrSoUnusual,

Are you playing the Bounty Trny at WH on Saturday? Buyin is 215k and the bounty on Kevin Song is 2.25 million won.

Any allin preflop by Kevin will be very interesting to see if those players who have him covered will go all in with just about anything for the chance to make 10 times their buyin!
