Why Poker in Vietnam

– When / why did you move khổng lồ Vietnam?

I moved here from Philly right after Blaông xã Friday. Since I am Vietnamese American it seemed like an easy choice with knowing the language. I was actually one of the first poker players khổng lồ move here April 22, 2011.

It’s still being developed in a lot of places. It’s awesome here though, very comfortable living.

– How would you rate safety in Vietnam?

Pretty safe for guys, petty criminals like bagsnatchers don’t usually target men in general. I would say road accident rates are pretty bad, maybe comparable to lớn Đất nước xinh đẹp Thái Lan.

Vietnam Poker

– Any problems accessing poker sites in Vietnam?

Some sportsbetting is blocked by the government but no poker sites or casino sites that I know of. It was smooth getting baông chồng onkhổng lồ PokerStars. They haven’t pulled out of Vietnam yet (they did from Singapore & Burma).

– Best times of day to lớn grind?

Zombie hours for me, 10pm til 8am local time. Not that you need to grind that much to afford living here at all.

– How bởi you deposit onto lớn / cash out from poker sites?

Set up bank trương mục & wire both ways. Usually takes 2 days with no fee. I posted an gmail from Stars support about wire info here. Some also use Neteller / Skrill ewallet.

Vietnam giới Gambling Laws

– Is online poker illegal in Vietnam?

Gambling in Vietphái mạnh is restricted but not completely outlawed. Online poker is certainly no issue, the government has better things khổng lồ vày than worry about that. No ISPs bloông xã online poker in Vietphái nam.

– Casinos in Vietnam?

There are several briông xã & mortar casinos, & in năm ngoái the Asian Poker Tour added a Vietnam leg, with a $1k main event and $2k high roller. Locals aren’t allowed to gamble in Vietnam casinos, only foreigners can. The government is getting cthua thảm to changing the laws on that though.

APT Vietnam giới is held at the Grand Ho Tram Strip, a beachfront resort. Then there are a few more casinos in Ho Chi Minh City centre, mostly in five sầu star resorts e.g. Rex Hotel và Caravelle Hotel. Most are electronic casinos, as croupiers aren’t allowed. Vietphái nam is trying to compete with Macau but it has a way to lớn go yet.

– Live poker in Vietnam?

The Grvà Ho Tram had soft cash games around APT time. Bunch of wealthy foreigners.

Besides that there is one electonic table at New World Casino, $2/$4 No Limit with a 4% rake. Not sure how often it runs anymore. There are huge private cash games but you need to know the people since it’s mostly rich businessman. There have been some police rsida of trang chủ games.

A frikết thúc blogged about playing poker in Vietphái mạnh cardrooms, e.g. see post #727 of this thread onwards.

Vietphái nam Internet

– How is mạng internet tốc độ in Vietnam?

It’s a lot cheaper than most countries & the connection is usually pretty good. One of the problems is internet slowing down when the undersea water cable snaps which happens every 3 months or so. The government is trying lớn invest in more cable line so it’s getting better.

FPT or Viettel are the two best home mạng internet providers in Vietnam.

– Options for Mobile mạng internet in Vietnam?

Yeah pretty cheap & you can grind solely on it if you just use it for poker only. Most use Viettel 3G.

Living in Vietnam

– How much does it cost lớn live sầu in Vietnam?

I’d say if you go out 2x / week & want to live in the main thành phố areas, you can live sầu for 1.2 – 1.5k usd comfortably. At one point I moved out to Tay Ninch to live sầu the country life, 1.5 hours outside the capital. It was impossible khổng lồ spkết thúc more than 10 million Dong (500 usd) a month living there.

– How much are Vietnam apartments?

In terms of best location anywhere from 250 usd for one room khổng lồ 1.5k for a 3 room apartment.

– Any poker houses in Vietnam?

Usually the poker guys here are more reserved so I don’t know of any poker players sharing places. Probably partly due to lớn the fact everyone has 3 – 5 girlfriends each và they are lazy when it come lớn opening door late at night with the way door locks work here.

Where lớn live in Vietnam

I would say Da Nang is in the top spot just because the local government is trying lớn make it the best area for foreigners to lớn live & invest in. It has a nice beach area & is the cleanest out of all Vietnam. The night life is so much better & very foreigner friendly. I would even say it’s better than Nha Trang khổng lồ live sầu.The only time that sucks living here is during stormy season which is late Sept – Nov.

The capital (formerly Saigon). A lot of expats live sầu in District 1 (D1), around Pham mê Ngu Lao area. It can be noisy at night though. Best bet get a hotel và look around lớn work out where you want to stay. Decent options as cheap as $10 with wifi good enough for poker. Ben Thanh Market and Bui Thi Xuan are in the centre.

The Manor 1 & Saigon Pearl are some solid apartment options 2km from the đô thị centre. I used to lớn stay at Manor 2. There are a lot of signs for rent on every street corner put up by owners. Prices online are a bit inflated on agent websites, you could try Vietnam giới Craigsdanh mục lớn get in touch with owners directly. On a $500 budget you’ll have no problem getting a decent apartment in D1. $1000 plus for a luxury place.

If you’re ok with being 15-trăng tròn minutes out of the center, you’ll find cheaper apartments in D2 or D7. A friover recommended Sunrise City Apartments in D7. People tkết thúc to move out there if the pollution và congestion gets to them. Still a lot of expats there. D3, D5 and D10 are also popular as they’re cthua thảm to D1.

– Post by ‘MystikRiver’ in the Vietphái nam thread

Not many poker players in Hanoi because it’s quite strict regarding night time activity, everywhere closes early. Cthua trận khổng lồ Halong Bay pictured at the top of this page, one of the first places to visit in Vietphái nam for tourists.

Nha Trang beaches are pretty clear and Mui Ne beaches are kind of rocky/white svà but you can still swim. Local people don’t like khổng lồ be in the sun so the beaches are usually pretty empty most of the time unless at a tourist area. Been to Nha Trang a couple times it’s fun during the dry season but not sure if you want live there during the rainy season. Better to lớn live và grind in Saigon & go to Nha Trang for a few days và relax.

Vietnam Visas / Banking

– Possible to stay long term on Vietphái nam visas?

DJ: Yeah probably a better situation than Thailand (don’t need to lớn leave the country to lớn renew 90 day visas over & over) & other places especially if you are willing to lớn pay a little extra lớn get things done quichồng.

– How to lớn open a Vietnam ngân hàng account?

I think it’s a bit harder now than when I first came here 4 years ago. You need documentation of your living arrangements. I opened mine with HSBC. A frikết thúc opened his with ANZ and even told them he was a poker player, they didn’t care. Those are the two largest international banks. There isn’t any complicated paperwork like verifying where your money came from (like in the US when depositing >$10k).

Lifestyle in Vietnam

– How big is the Vietphái nam poker community?

Not that big I think. Off the top of my head there are lượt thích 5 guys that want to hang out every other month. The rest are lượt thích hermits and they mostly just grind. The thread is kind of dead, would be nice to get more people out here, Vietnam giới is so underrated imo. Partly because it’s super hard to lớn search info online.

The tourism board doesn’t make as much effort as e.g. Thailand, where everything is mapped out & a lot easier khổng lồ navigate as a tourist. There also isn’t a không tính phí 30 day visa exemption on arrival unlượt thích there or the Philippines.

– Do you need to lớn speak Vietnamese?

Nope I know guys that have sầu been living here for years that can only say hello và they seem to get along just fine. Although I would recommover learning Vietnamese in general if you want khổng lồ vày more stuff then just hanging out with foreigners or the 5% of the population that speak fluent English. There are some miễn phí lessons on L-Lingo.com.

– How to lớn meet Vietnamese ladies?

Unless you come off super creepy you will have sầu no problem whatsoever with meeting woman here. As I said when I first came everyone I knew had at least 3 – 5 girlfriends at a time. The only problem I see is the language barrier because Vietnamese women are more reserved on the outside but that doesn’t mean they are innocent. You can meet & hookup within a day here.

I rethành viên when I first came here I thought there were so many hot girls esp. living in U.S where everyone is fat. It was so silly how I was like damn I could marry this girl or that và thought I had no chance or whatever but after like a few month you get to lớn realize that the foreigner have sầu a lot of leverage when it come to lớn the dating game. I mean if a short/skinny dude with bad acne lượt thích me can piông chồng up girls everyone has a chance.

On a scale of girls in Korea being 10 in difficulty I would say in Vietnam giới is around 3 if you understvà how things work here. They tover lớn think all foreigners are weathly/higher class etc. which helps too.
