Jeju Island
I'm thinking of taking a vacation in Jeju and playing some poker as well here but can't find a thread for it in this forum.
Has anyone been there recently who knows what the action is like there?

I will be there September/October 2024.
Will keep you guys updated
I was there at the WPT last year. The island is nice and interesting but the resort is kinda in the middle of nowhere and very artificial. It's mainly for families with children. I was at landing hotel which was basic, prolly best to stay at the Marriott, but I found all hotels overpriced, as well as everything else at the resort. But prolly depends on the time with the hotels.
But at the wpt the games were good, but the cash game rake was pretty brutal, something like 10% capped at usd 25 IIRC, might be slightly off, but in that area. But lots of gambly bad players. No idea how and how much poker is running at regular times, might not be much. The atms also took like 10 us at not great limits iirc.
Be prepared it's Korea, outside the main tourist spots, most peeps will not speak or understand any English. I can give the insta of a great English speaking tour guide, if interested PM
Agreed during Jeju Poker dream series. Not super easy to get local currency. Bad rate from USD & usdt in the Casino. ATM Limits are lower than expected.
Quiet good games. Lowest Cashgame running was 14 USD big blind.
I prefere europe & the states
