Anybody have recent info on Naga World games? Has anybody played in the last month or two? What stakes are running consistently and are they keeping their crazy rake?

Just tried calling the casino and wasn't able to get any information.

EDIT: Sounds like the 5/5/10 game is gone for good. I called back and they said they only had one game of 1/2 running and it sounded like 2/5+ hasn't ran in awhile. The lady I talked to said "nobody wants to play 2/5 because....[silence]". I'm going to go out on a limb and say Asia has no consistent 2/5 or 5/10+ live poker games worth playing unless you want to play with cliquey nit regs in Macau and hope for a game that doesn't bore you to tears. Maybe Singapore has games around $2/5...but rake + hotels = just play online.

Japan and Bangkok really need to open up casinos.

Can't remember how much they are if you are in Sihanoukville still go to the shop opposite the market maybe they are $50-$100 but I really recommend you get one.

I played once in the 1-2 game in late August and the game was terrible nitty, it is not worth playing at the moment. Others have told me too that the game is not good anymore. Also there is 2-3 big time douchbags playing in Naga so it is better to let the game die

Could you please describe some of the douchebags? I've played there a bit and am wondering who it is. Fortunately never met anybody too douchebaggy on my previous visits.

I'm actually not joking, I am in Sihanoukville and would appreciate any tips. Dante didn't give many details in any of his posts about the place (except about his bad beats which he went into extreme detail for)

i guess check out victory hill of an evening. it's a sad scene though. golden lion plaza doesn't feel pathetic like victory hill but women are still unattractive. it's fun playing pool there. i'd probably hang out at serendipity beach. the casinos are fun and the beer is free. i don't think it matters though when it costs at most a dollar on the beach.

are you going back to thailand via koh kong?

That is a damn shame, when I grinded Naga / online for 2 separate one month periods 2+ years ago it was literally the best 1/2NL game in the world. Deep, Deep stacks - $200-$1000 buy-in (average buy in was $500) and tourists and terrible regs spewing every night.

No, I am applying for an Ed Visa which apparently takes the PP embassy 7 days to process, so I have to head back to PP to pick up my passport before returning to Thailand. Sad, because I would have preferred to go that way having not seen it before.

Currently staying in Serendipity area. Lots of backpackers, not many chicks. But it's only 4pm so that might change.

I’m originally from the UK, London and have been playing poker for around 6 years to varying success but as it was to secondary work never really committed. Then the economic down turn happened I sold business (a night club) and I thought I’d take a couple of years out in a cheap foreign country.

I live on the Cambodian coast in a place called Sihanoukville, about four hours drive from the capital Phnom Peng. It’s a beautiful little spot with 5 beaches and with the Thai border 4 hours drive to the west and Vietnam about 5 hours to the east. It has a vibrant night life, with a number of clubs, beach bars and western and local restaurants (and 3 casinos). The sex trade is a lot less prevalent than Thailand and the place has a mixture of backpackers passing through, holiday makers from Phnom Peng and a large friendly expat community.

So why Cambodia.
• It’s cheap (half the price of Thailand), I stay in a 2 bedroom western style apartment, all mod cons, 24 hour security sea views $340 a month. A one bedroom bedsit in the same building is $120 a month. A meal out varies from $3.50 – about $7 for top end, beer is 50c-$1 a glass.
• Language isn’t a problem most Cambodians in the major cities speak English.
• Visas, unlike Thailand you can extend your visa indefinitely without leaving the country $250 a year.
• Internet, now is fine, i have ½ a mega bite which is $60 a month and a 3g card for back up should either the internet go down while playing or a power occurs. Power cuts do happen infrequently but all that’s needed is a back up battery or a laptop.
• It’s safe, like any major city anywhere in the world there is crime, just don’t wonder down dark streets at 4am you wouldn’t in New York!
• The people are lovely, not yet obliterated by western values or capitalism.
• The expat community is varied and very friendly to new comers.
• The currency is the Riel but the dollar is more widely used
• No tax
• Live poker is available in casinos and a few low homegames
• The weather is hot from October to June, June to September is the wet season which while still hot it rains to varying degrees.

I think Pro maybe a little strong, I play 3 hours a day mainly in the morning (+7 GMT) and last month 90 hours made me $900, mainly I play SnG. $900 is hefty amount here, waitress earn around $100 a month and western bar managers around $400 a month. In the UK i would have to earn $3000 a month and have a fraction of the life style. I normally finish with poker by 10am and this leaves me the rest of the day to visit the beach, take a boat ride to Island, ride my bike, watch movies, study poker, or just visit friends for a beer.
I have yet to find anyone else out here who is supporting their lifestyle from internet and poker and would either like to find someone who is or encourage someone to come and join and me. I’d be happy to help anyone thinking of making the move and it would be great to have someone to speak poker with, especially if they were at a more advanced level than me
It could be ideal for someone who can make $1-2000 a month but not enough for Pro and a decent western lifestyle, or someone who has to grind silly hours to make a western style wage.
So ask me anything about me, my poker or living in Cambodia

Hi

I was wondering if you are still in Cambodia playing online poker. I am coming over that way in about 3-4 months and plan to stay for 6 months to a year and looking to play poker as well. If you can lend any advice or tell me the best places to stay that would be great.

Simon

Update:

Lady luck has left the building. Cash games I have been incredibly unlucky money in with the nuts on the turn then getting a good shafting on the river. What can only he called a bad run is not only affecting my game but even my sanity.

Solution:
Kick down a gear or two stop the cash (limiting losses) and play strictly tournys only returning to ABC style poker until I bag a couple of wins and regain my superior confidence.

Rake:
well with the rake ****e is getting complicated.
