Sounds good to me.

What venue would this take place at?

They already do these things at Walker-Hill Casino and on base - Yongsan. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

I'd be into the 'private game', but it feels a lot more secure having a dealer and more structure to it, etc.

It'd be great to get four or five Dave's regulars together for Saturday night games once a month or so: poker buddies! Very Happy No pros, no tourneys.

I'd be in for that if anyone ever gets that going.

The BEST poker in all of Seoul is played in Haebangchon. Games can be found almost everyday of the week. Only serious players play poker here.

Haebangchon. The HBC is near Itaewon. Cabbies know how to get here.

There are several bars where you can find poker. Phillies usually has a 10 dollar quick tournament on thursdays. It's just for fun.

The OT (orange tree) has regulars that play on most sundays, tuesdays, and thursdays. Thursday is tournament night...10 bucks, unlimited rebuys until 11:30 or so. Tuesday and Sunday are tournament or cash.

Sen Bar has cash game only. It's loud to play poker there, but there is more money on the table, and the service is 10X better than the OT.

I've played at Sen. Cash games get annoying when the drunk chick who managed to catch everyone on the river passes out with 200, 000 won in chips. And then sleeps on her chips while everyone plays for nickels.

I'm trying to get away from games with unlimited rebuys. Drives me f'n crazy.

Straight tourney rules with 20,000 buy in is what I am looking for.


So, roll call.

Who is down for a serious night of poker?

What time does the Orange Tree start on Thursdays?

Phillies also sounds interesting. What time does that one start?

BOTH tourneys are on Thursdays? Which one is better?

between 9:30 and 10:00 on thursdays at the orange tree...action ends around 2:30 when the bar closes. it's a high-quality game, with 10-15 experienced players out there each week.
