unless you are used to living a budget lifestyle i think grinding in cambo is a terrible option.
I really appreciate your input. But I was really interested in hearing from someone who is living there and grinding it out and living their life in SE Asia.
I know the rake is sick and nothing like I am use to, I remember when it went up to $5 from $3 and all the low level grinders were saying it could not be beaten.
I have search youtube to see if the poker blogs have made it over yet, no good ones.
But you live or have lived there, I would like to hear those stories and experiences.
