just to share the information with the 2p2,i just found a game in taichung that plays 100/200 nl with about 5 fishes a table. unfortunately it has the infamous 5% no cap rake...i am sure it still will be profitable for you guys to play though. u see people coldcalling $6000 4 bets with 55 with 7k behind. lol/
i also play at some small home games, usually 25/50 nl. i live in taipei, but i go taichung all the time for poker action since i am unemployeed. i got arrived taiwan couple month ago btw
oh, and with regards to fine chicks, i wouldnt suggest those all-u-can-drink clubs, as the girls' level are significantly lower than those you run into at better clubs. for high quaility chicks i will just go to primo and possibly barcode. those girls are hoooot, although more pricy, they are probably cleaner too, as they all think they are hardtogets to local taiwanese boys. anyways, if there is a 2p2 meet up be sure to let me know!
anybody gonna live in taipei for the rest of 2010
i'm looking for a new place to rent next month.
i can get a soso 1 bed room apartment for 10k a month
or i can find 2 other poker players. and rent a kickass 3 bedroom apartment for 25k a month.
PM me if you are interest, we can go look for new place together
no, parents are from taiwan, and i go to taiwan probably once a year for about 2-3 weeks. i also have a bunch of friends who grew up in taiwan or went to american schools (for ABCs) in taiwan.
what year did your friends graduate TAS? you must have been out this winter then
We live in the "Beverly Hills" of Taipei. 1500 sq. feet, 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms living room dining room kitchen and awesome view for $900USD/month. We also got a really good deal so for a ballin pad in a nice area expect something around $1000 for the multi-bedrooms.
Taipei is expensive. During our research for homes we came across a 3 story, 5 bedroom MONSTER of a house for 300$USD/month in a medium-sized city just 50 KM northwest. The prices you pay for big city life ...
I play on FTP and no problems at all. And by no problems I mean I have absolutely zero delay at all times of the day.
Anyone got some good real estate company for like 1month rentals in Taipei?

Hey guys, i will be flying into taipe from the states january 30th. I didnt think they had poker there, but reading here caught my interest. I've been to macau a few times but would prefer to try another place. What is the best way to find a game without a killer rake? Or if anyone would want to meet up. I travel more as a backpacker, having spent the last 3 or 4 years around asia, and just got back from guatemala.
Hello to everyone in Taipei right now. I just came here and atm know 0 people from this country. If there's any players around it would be cool to meet. Also it would be cool to know a little bit where to go etc. Im planning to stay here as long as i think this place is cool (i have been 8 months in bkk and i got a little bit bored even though its a great place so i decided to give this city a try).
Konig, Ill try to do that after I get a better picture of this city. Right now ive only been here for 1 day so cannot say much... Other than All-you-can drink is nice and girls are v hot and dress well + quite easy / slutty and free (no freelancers like a lot of girls in bkk)...
Anyone going to the Pingxi (sp?) Lantern Festival on Feb. 28?
To anyone who has been before: what is the bus situation like to and from Taipei? Will we have trouble getting back to Taipei on Sunday night after the festival? We plan on going down early, but coming back might be a problem with the amount of people that are probably going to be there.
Public Transportation in TW is generally very good but will usually stop after certain hours. IME with festivals they will usually have buses back to Taipei but never past like 10 PM. The one place I know that should be able to answer your question immediately is: http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/
Baxter I know of some underground games running as high as 25/50 USD. Last time I played the rake was 5% uncapped but super soft field. Also its invite only but I'll see what I can do if your interested, let me know.
