IME the best NL games in PP were when the RK/PK 5/5 PLO bongs randomly decided they wanted to play a bit of NL for a change. Or you got some VIPs sitting down at Naga. But either of these just didn't happen very often. Do yourself a favor and don't plan on this to make a living. Many have tried before I don't know anyone who succeeded.
The PLO game, if you are good at it and can ride variance train, that's a different story, I knew a few guys over the years that certainly had this as their main source of income for some time at least and were doing reasonably well, surely there were also others who busted.
But the NL games, no, sorry. I could tell you a number of stories of NL players of PP, incl. the PT one, also other scammers and shady stuff, and a lot of good peeps living off other incomes. But none of these had honestly grinding the NL games as a significant source of income. Whatever small edges you may think you have, the rake will probably take it away.
Yea that’s what I figured. Seems like more PLO heavy games. Thanks for detailed explanation, really appreciate it.

How much is the Naga traffic down from 1 year ago?
Used to be 3 2/5 tables running almost daily from July 2022 until around Oct/November. Remember there was a big hype with all the WPT/APPT coming in.
Seems like it all looks to be gone?
Checking Pokeratlas once a while and seems to run max 1 2/5 daily
And maybe 2 on weekends?
There was 5/10
Daily for a long time before running.

Macau must have taken away all the action?

3 2/5 tables daily at Naga? That must have been a good time. 22 I was only there earlier in the year, at least then it was certainly not a thing. I am not sure I have seen that many more than maybe once or twice in Naga anyway. At the moment is low season also, a lot of rain.
IME the PP and Macau clientele does not overlap a lot. Sure there are a lot of Chinese peeps, if you talk to them, ofc they know about Macau, but choose to go elsewhere for several reasons. Also weekdays/weekends, that's not really a concept that applies to PP, at least not for now. Same, same, everyday. You will not be able to guess what day of the week it it is by observing the crowds at the poker table or pretty much anywhere else like you could in more developed countries. The only thig that makes a difference are big holidays, esp Khmer new year.

Maybe I haven't been there for some months. I was there in April 23. I was trying to be nice but if you come with than nonsense again, I have to tell you, based on your posts, you have clearly never even been into town. Same BS that you pulled off in the Macau thread a little bit earlier, just posting fictional nonsense. Trying to be relevant or something I guess.

If he can make it out of the basement of his mum and get some cash which I very much doubt. Not even worth the effort. Same story as a couple of months ago in the Macau thread. I think most of it has been deleted but as a mod you can probably still read it. Just posting stuff that after a while makes it crystal clear to anyone who knows the place that he has never even been there. Prolly some 13yo fanboy or whatever...

i was there in dec 22 and february 23 for 3 weeks total and no, there haven't been 2-3 x 2/5 tables running daily.
maybe you got to two 2/5 tables late at night on 1 or 2 days a week. one time the 2/5 game ran overnight and continued to the next day and i even mentioned it to the floor as a big exception.

on most days, the 1/3 game started around noon or early afternoon and a 2/5 game opened in late afternoon and ran until late night. maybe 3-4 1/3 games as well at peak times. on some days, you got up to 7-8 tables in total.

i can't comment how it was beforehand or how it is now, tough.

Hi, everyone.

Now I am playing Natural 8 in Cambodia.
Does anyone know a person or shop who can buy my USDT or Bitcoin ?

I asked my banker friend and he told me they charge 20% fee if I try to withdraw money from online bank, so I would like to withdraw money via crypto currency from Natural8.
but it seems bit tough to exchange crypto currency to US dollar.

If anyone has some idea, please help me

One of the bongs at the Riverking game will trade cash for your BTC/ETH for a 5% fee, I'd go there.

For those trying to make a living in Cambodia at NLH, you really have to play 2/5+ in Sihanoukville imo. DV Casino has a good game, it usually turns into 2/5/10 or 2/5/15 (or 20) later in the evening with button straddles, so you've got to be willing to put some money in the pot. Chinese whales sit in from time to time just for the kicks and donk off a few thousand and then go back to baccarat or whatever. But all the regs know not to pay off the ABC playing Laowai, and if you're playing tight and it's deep the good regs will try to put the pressure on if they think you're weak. It can be a pretty fun game. You definitely want to show you're gambley in some smaller pots and make some slightly negative EV plays and you can trick some of them into thinking you're bluffing in bigger pots. But staying in Sihanoukville during rainy season sucks pretty hard.

Is this recent? this year or when was last time you were there?
I see 72 poker room (at DV casino) keeps advertising their 1/1 or 1/2 usd game.

Thanks everyone for information about exchanging crypto to dollar.

I contacted to Dany Cryptocurrency, but I did not get reply, so I tried to find exchange shop by myself.

for some people who want to cash out crypto, I write some information. Even if you get cheated dont blame on me please, I never suggest you guys to use these shops.



1 Liberty Currency Exchange ( Nagaworld)

I used this shop today, the shop is ran by Chinese people, and they gave me cash face to face. They tool 1.2% fee for USDT. Friendly nice guys.


2 cryoto cafe

I used to use this shop before. but the exchange shop is closed now , and the owner offer crypto exchange via ABA. I exchanged some USDT and I think he is good person, but I still prefer to get cash, so I choose Liberty


I have not checked much, but I saw some Chinese shop which is written USDT around Liberty Currency exchange. so maybe some of shop have same service. I can not read Chinese , so I dont know what kind of service they offer, maybe you can cash out US dollar, maybe they offer you Chinese banking service via USDT

The PK cashier can do it for a 3% fee with one of the bongs facilitating it, paypal, zelle, crypto ect.

I've also seen across from the bridge a bunch of chinese signs with USDT but never used them so YMMV.

I've been living in Sihanoukville on and off for a few years now.. There are usually ways to find people who will help you out here (I cannot vouch for Phnom Penh as I dislike that city and never will live there). I believe that these days in Sihanoukville at least DV Casino will help you out with your USDT for no fee as long as you buy-in at their game. You will probably have to contact them directly though as they don't seem to advertise about these kind of things.
