8 Reasons Why You Should Play Poker In Vietnam

1. Vietnam is NEAR

Not more than a 2 hour flight from most major cities in Asia, with budget airlines like AirAsia, VietJet, HK Express, Nok, JetStar providing numerous flights daily, Vietnam is quick and cheap to access.

2. Vietnam is BEAUTIFUL

From mountains to beaches, architecture to people, Vietnam is vibrant, exciting, colorful and beautiful. Most people when they think of poker they think Macau, but Macau does not have much else to offer other than casinos. (PS: City of Dreams and Galaxy have closed their poker rooms, the others in Macau will either close too or be so packed it would have a super long queue)



3. Vietnam is YUMMY

Pho, Banh Mi, Banh Cuon, Banh Xeo, local fruits, even Vietnamese ice cream are super delicious. If you visit Vietnam, you will be treated to a feast of food choices, most of them are super healthy too!



4. Vietnam is FUN

Apart from poker, there are so many things to do. Shopping, food, temples, museums, war relics, markets, spa treatments, massages, river cruise, etc. My ritual is wake up in the morning, have a nice cup of coffee with Vietnamese steamed rolls, get my hair professionally washed and a massage before I even get any work done.



5. Vietnam is CHEAP

A delicious meal will cost you less than USD 2, an hour long massage is USD 4-8 (depending on where you go), taxis are cheap and easily hailed, night market shopping is fun and won't put a dent in your wallet.



6. Vietnam is SAFE

Unlike Manila (sorry my Filipino friends), Vietnam is a much safer environment. Generally the people are nice and helpful, even though most do not speak English, but they are not out to get you. You can walk around at night and feel really safe about it.

7. Vietnam is LEGAL

With great Vietnamese poker legends like Men Nguyen, Scotty Nguyen, it is just logical to encourage poker in Vietnam. There are only a selected few clubs that are given this license, and you can be sure they are run well with strict rules and supervision, so you can be assured of safety and fairness.



8. Vietnam is SOFT

With most players having just learned the game in recent years, and with many rich tourists stopping by the games, you will find the game much softer compared to like Macau, Singapore or the Philippines. That being said, we've heard stories like players going all in with 92 off suit and flopping 992, but that's the beauty of the game!
