Finally got out to Otres Beach today. Definitely the cleanest of all the beaches I've been to thus far. The ride out there is also quite nice and scenic.

Played the 20 dollar max buy in bar game then the 100 lion city game for a couple hours .. Play the 1-2 night game at golden island tomorrow. Besides when APT here next month doesn't seem any bigger games gonna be running. Still don't have lease or passport back so still some time before get online. Not really in any sort of rush, just enjoying the slower pace of life here.

Out with triad fishing in the square other night, hooked me a tight lil 21 year old. Went out for drinks then took her home for business. Had a Viagra jelly packet, forgot what they call them out here. But gg, couldn't leave the apt till next afternoon.

Golden Island rake is 10% capped at $10 and I believe it's the same at Lion City although their game is smaller at $1-$1. Fortuna and Queenco no longer run games although the APT is coming up in the latter.

So we drew for the bill at the square. I'll note now that we did a similar thing at dinner and I lost. That bill was $40, this one was $72.

Hey guys,

I just signed up on this forum as I just landed in Sihanoukville. I have done some research on where to play poker but always finding contradictory information on what is open and on the blinds etc.

Could you guys give me a quick summary of where to currently find texas poker and how much are the blinds ? I was hoping to find some games at 1 - 1 or less and with capped buy-ins. I was at Naga World a few days ago and the 1-2 blinds with people buying in for USD 750 +++ put me of from trying my luck. I'm far from being a pro although I try and play regularly at house games back in Singapore where I live.
I did see the post above Lion City with 1-1 and 20-100 buyin and that sounds like the kind of stuff I would like to find. Are there any more places in the city centre ? Just checked in the One Stop Hostel by the golden lions.

Cheers !
Chacho

Currently there are two casino games in town. As you mentioned the Lion City has a $1-$1 game with a max buy in of $100. They do a quick sit n go tournament at 1:00 PM, but the cash game starts at about 2:00 PM and should be going right now as of this writing (4:15 PM). The other game in town is at the Golden Island which starts at 7:00 PM and is a $1-$2 game with a min buy in of $100 and a max buy in of $1,000. But no one ever buys in high and most players buy in for $100. The lowest game in town is run at a guesthouse/bar on the rooftop floor at G'day Mate Guesthouse on Ekareach Street in Downtown. They start with a sit n go type format only to start the game but it basically becomes a $0.25-$0.50 game with a max buy in of $20. This game only runs on Tuesday, Thursdays and Sundays shortly after 7:00 PM. It's not listed on google maps, but if you can find Sarang Guesthouse it's right next door. Here's a google maps link for Sarang:

I can't speak for anyone else but I'm recovering from last night so I'll probably just stay in. More than a decent chance that you'll see at least one of the other guys at the Lion City day game tomorrow. I don't really play that much live but I'll probably end my week on Sunday at G'day Mate.

Yes, I would recommend this ISP/deal. https://www.online.com.kh/internet/bronze If you pay for two months you get a third free, and also do deals if you pay for six months or a year I believe too.

I probably get d/c'd like once every fortnight but I just switch off the router and turn it back on and I'm back online straight away. At peak times I can stream radio, play MTT's and my gf will be watching stuff on YouTube and I don't get any lag.

I would add to samcx's comments to always have data on your phone as a backup. I have a 4G LTE SIM on my iPhone 6S and it's so much more reliable than my actual internet that I tether to that when grinding. I believe cellcard also offers a dongle but the last time I checked about 1 year ago it was only compatible up to Windows 7.

Been grinding live more than online lately because playing 25 hands per hour seems more attractive at the moment than playing thousands more while having every player take their entire allotted time to take their action. The dealer from last night at Lion City could not say the word "six" so every time someone made/raised $6 she would say "sick raise." Pretty fuc*ing hilarious so I tried to make it $6 whenever I could. Chacho showed up to the game at G'day Mate and check raised me on the turn on a hand I'm sure I'll ask him about later. Although if he's smart, he'll just lie to me about it. During the hand I pissed off one of the regulars by taking too long to decide on my action after I got raised. He was livid that I took so long over $5 and I see his point. But anyone who knows me knows I treat every game like it's $5-$10 NL and it's not in me to think any other way. 4_chainz continues his grind as well, but of a different sort. Probably going to grind the Lion City game in about an hour and then sushi later on with the brothers and 4_chainz. I have to convince Luke that there is good sushi here in Sihanoukville and that the Sushi Bar in Phnom Penh is a garbage spot. More pics later hopefully.

Cheers for the replies samcx & triad. Was really surprised to hear about d/c being so infrequent, I imagined it was an extremely regularly thing so pretty happy to hear dif. Might try get over that way once the summer in Europe ends
