I can't but probably offer little help anyways.
Good luck!

if your planning to do other work sure like english teacher i missed that part. afaik its almost impossible to make a living from any of the live casino games in the phils. you need access to private whale games or beat online if poker will be your sole source of income. nothing is even allowing entries right now especially from a country like america. you have some time right now 1-3 months to find out if you can beat online at ~1k a month before even stepping foot on a plane

if you can't make a living playing LLSNL in phils you're a whale

its not easy making 4k a month in PH public games, there are a ton of new foreigners, 500% increase compared to 3 years ago lets say

According to the Philippines travel page/consulate travel is restricted but not impossible. I was married to a Filipino. Didn't work out. She was lazy. We are still married. I never filed divorce. I have license and certificate still. According to travel/visa page spouses are allowed in. So waiting on call from swiftpassport to see if this will work. Still rather have a visa then just show and possibly get denied access.

Not trying to make 4K a month. That would be awesome. If I can make a break even to a little extra then cost of living in any asian country, have a few dollars and be able to do things I am happy. Modest. I like to be in Asia. Just looking for a way to stay longer. As I have enough funds for about a year plus a 5K roll for games. At 5-10 dollars MTT this is way more then 300 buyins. If my ROI is extremely low.

My NL5 graph is pretty good. When I was regularly playing NL10 I was doing ok too. Not enough hands to prove it. I did not have PT4 at the time. Online is new. So I have just now purchased things I will need. I had free Equilab before, but you can do heat maps and all kinds of equity things w Power version that I could do w free version So I purchased. I think going to get Flopzilla too. Its like 45 USD lifetime use. Even tho an Equity program. Between Flopzilla and equilab it is like a poor mans Pio. Can see if your making a good bluff or a good bet and how often needs to work. Equilab hand range vs range, Flopzilla range vs actual hand. Plus I got PT4 to start keeping track, my study courses for online. ICMizer also. RYE, Pokercode, Redchip and I sub to Pokercoaching. They have yet to produce the online MTT course Jlittle keeps promising. Got a lot of ground to catch up with online players. I am studying everyday and mixing in games on weekends. Right now 30%ITM just dividing the number of games I have played w number of cashes to bricks. I dont have a big enough sample for it to be accurate in PT4. Plus here in states ACR does not put summaries in Pokertracker. I have to manually type in results. So another reason want to move is to play on stars or party. Even on WPN, there is not enough games at my current buyin. I need like 40 or more a week. There is like 20 maybe in my buyin level. Plus I stay away from turbos. Nothing less then 8 min. blinds. Plus I look for deepstack. This favors cash game players. Learning to gamble more and be ok with it early. That actually busting more granted not a maniac and in good spots that it leads to more FTs but less cashes. As cashing in micro is not worth it. You need to be in top 3 pretty much every time. Thanks for advise. I am working on it as much as possible. When I m not researching visas and things I need I am working. Studying or playing. 8 hours a day most days. I played live last night. First time in months. 1/3 Orleans. 5 handed, (COVID). Played great. Calm and thought every decision out. I sniffed out an all in bluff from someone which actually made my night. It was fun. He was mad though. Then left me alone as I was a better player then him and he was out matched. Live Im fine. Yes I need alot of work at online MTTs. I m willing to do it. I hope I meet someone to help when I move. Thanks for the replies.

have you factored in quarantine costs? i know a filipina who is returning from thailand to phils begining of july. she has a list of all the hotels available from the consulate the cheapest shithole hotel is 50 usd a night and its mandatory 3 weeks quarantine. that doesnt include food, you cannot order in and need to select a a food plan that is provided to you at an also upcharged cost of nearly 30 usd a day. the actual duration is changing weekly shes been told by the consulate can be 2 weeks or 3 weeks or even 1 month.

micro nonturbo mtt? need close to 40 games a day thats what i play. i play exactly 0 volume on stars and party. most my volume comes from sites i could play from america and you can too

Maybe. You forget. Asian tour has been my goal even before I played poker. Poker is a bonus. As far as the quarantine goes. I have not seen any of that yet. Ill keep on getting info. I hope the provinces open up. Not leaving today. So could change any day. If provinces open up a little I have a free place to stay. My co worker has new home there she just built. Offered house, car and said I can mingle with her family for as long as I like. If anything always MX to wait it out. Hope dont run out of money by time borders open.

Shouldn't matter if the game is entirely regs, it's still llsnl and by virtue of that is very very beatable.

Still available in certain pharmacies in Samui without questions. I bought some 2 or 3 weeks ago. 300 baht for a generic brand, bag of 10.

whats the generic. some are not even close. strattera and concerta are horrible substitutes. i am prescribed strattera. i do not respond same way. 300 baht so in usd about 10 dollars. or 1 usd per pill. good price compared to us. considering it is over 100 a bottle w ins. 2 times that price w/o. so should be 35% of cost compared to usa

hey boyz I was just wondering how the thai hoes are coping with the shortage of white c*cks in the country

most even the higher end 5k night ones are all going for 1.5-2k lt. some especially if repeats as low as 1.2k or even free jus to provide food/aircon

We got a pool party place thats been serving booze for most of lockdown, tons of them have been hanging out there. Recently since the restaurant's allowed to serve a alcohol a few places have started to stay open to 3am and ive seen a few familiar faces around. Phuket(probs patts also) has a decent enough expat community that the bars that are opening are busy and imagine the girls are doing ok.

The ones that returned home im more surprised at, alot of them seem to be drinking with friends etc most nights and since they arnt usually the type to save money duno where the big chang cash is coming from, seeing its been for 3 months now.

I have noticed that too. Girls from Thailand drinking a lot w friends. I was wondering myself where all the spare money come from. Confirm they are not savers. At least the majority of them.

The hookers have been drinking every night for the last 3 months on no income. I am also pretty mindblown!

Ed visa arrives next few days, anyone know of the best bank to open an account that doesn’t involve some ****** insurance?

Krungsri ainec

Guess the Klaus are still sending Western Unions. Glad to know they are alright, I hope they wont be fat when I come back!

How did you get a visa at a time like this? I would love to get a visa to SEA. Looks pretty dismal at this time. Maybe in a few weeks they will drop the 3K in a local bank and 50K ins policy in Cambo. I would like to revisit TH again for at least 2 weeks. Still have not been to Phucket or Chang Mai. Of course Chang Mai seems like a mission. Way up north.

I wouldn't worry about that LOL. In my experience in Asia Thai girls are actually worried about their weight. Unlike PH where you will find bigger girls. I do not think you will find big Thai girls. Or least many. I did see one at a pussy show. She was quite big pulling out the razers from her snatch. Kinda gross actually.

I was already in line to get and had paid most of my Ed visa by the time corona hit. Then it got delayed for several months, but looks like they are getting things going again. Worth noting thats for people in the country not arrivals.

Fwiw, Thailand dont expect any international air travel until September.

Getting visa stuff done, when already inside the country, is easier than ever. They should keep tourists out forever

Is it possible to get Education Visa now without leaving country?

I have been here past 6 years on multi-entry tourist visas and 3-4 months during summer going back to Europe. And not really sure how those education visas work, but I always thought you need Non-Immigrant Visa from embassy outside of Thailand before you get education visa.

Not really want to fly back to Europe at the end of July as I imagine it will be hard to get back from all the news recently.
