Don't have the option to message you, you can try messaging the fb page Poker in Cambodia for more details.

I ended up going down for the JB Cup and it was a sight to see. Durr, Jungleman were there and at one point they brought out millions in real cash....

Hi all,
How are the recent games in Nagaworld?

I've gone through the info available publicly (2p2 etc) and have heard some dated word-of-mouth stuff, but opinions on the quality of games (aka action/profitability) seem pretty mixed.

The main daily games appear to be NLH 1/3 $500 max and 2/5 $1500 max with 5+ tables running, and I personally consider their rake not low but still doable (am used to very high rake). So structure-wise a decent win rate seems possible, unless of course most of the player pool buys in <100bbs or are very nitty to the point where game selection is meaningless. In that regard, some have said the recent games have been a regfest, but some say they are soft as most 1/3 and 2/5 games tend to be.
PLO would be the better option for similar small stakes (1/3 for Nagaworld as I have heard), but it appears they don't run consistently.

If anyone could chime in with up-to-date info, it would be greatly appreciated.

They are generally running 3-4 tables 1/3, and 2-3 tables 2/5, I only really play at ming men recently so this is a bit generalized. The 1/3 tended to have more short stackers and the 2/5 had a reasonable amount of people buying in deeper.

Outside of Naga, the Ming Men 2/5 runs at 7pm and is 300-2000 buyin.

There was another Chinese game that was insane the last few weeks, but it looks to have died down too.

Poker King (aka River King) is running 5/5 PLO everyday, starts early maybe 1 pm. Few times I peeked it looked like great action. Made me want to learn how to play.
Sometimes 5/10 or even bigger.

Naga 2/5 is good. Many deep stacks. Yes, lots of regs, mostly Chinese, some westerners. But it's fine, plenty are bad or mediocre regs, except a few Japanese and a couple white pros. So it is beatable, just ask for a table change on the rare occasion that you end up sitting with 5-6 Japan/Euro pros.

Naga 1/3 looks even easier without any pros.

hey saw your guys posts. been thinking about going for 1-2 months grind, finishing in naga during the wpt.

never been to cambodia, residenting in thailand. was thinking about maybe doing shinaoukville->Phenom Phen. I play 1/3 mostly. Reading here, games in PP seems to be good, talking with others, they say they are ****. So a bit clueless.

Anyhow. Saw some negative posts about 72 in SV, so not sure if there is other good options? preferably looking for lowest rake possible with good games obv.

tried contacting the different clubs, but communication is mehh.

and if any grinders out there that want to meet up, feel free to contact me on discord. nickflair#0832

happy to hear your badbeats ��

Naga rake is 5%, cap 20 for 2/5.

No smoking, both Naga and PokerKing.

Yeah, it used to be 5% cap 20 at all levels, but I haven't been in ages, I thought I heard they have increased it for higher stakes, but maybe I'm confusing it with another place. Yeah no smoking on the tables but don't expect a non-smoking environment

Who said the 1/3 games in PP are good? The 1/3 PLO at PK maybe, that was not a bad game, if it still runs. The 1/3 NL was never particularly good, I haven't been since last year but I doubt things have changed, it's been like that for years. PK is nice people, good atmosphere, for the most part, free food, can make friends, but the NL game, quite honestly, nah. Unless when the 5/5, 5/10 PLO peeps randomly decide to play NL, then that's usually a good game, but it plays pretty big. But the 1/3, sometimes it was ok, sometimes very bad. But even when it's good it's mostly because there are a lot of bad regs on the table, not because there are a lot of completely clueless donks.

The 1/3 at Naga is a little bit different but much of the same story. Sometimes you can get some Chinese tourists and stuff and the game can be good, but usually you go there and you recognize most of the faces on the tables. Most of them are not monsters but at the same time they are not terrible either and with the elevated rake makes the game somewhat meh. They're beatable sure, but let's just say I would not go there for the games.

When a tourney is in town, like the WPT, forget about all of that. That will be bring in a lot of whales like tourneys usually do, probably.
