[same content from my LiquidPoker blog]

I was playing on Black Chip Poker, a Merge Poker Network skin, when I encountered a player from Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the official name of North Korea (South Korea's official name is just the Republic of Korea).

[image loading]

He must be Kim Jong-il!
- Few people have the Internet access in North Korea. The only man powerful enough to have that access AND be able to put money into an online poker platform (North Korea has very strict control on money processing) is him.
- He was pretty aggressive, re-raising me with 10-10 when I had played very tight. We know Kim Jong-il loves to fight.

At the end, I took about $5 from him. I'm really worried that he will come after me for the money and this blog, but truth needs to be shared!!!

More than one person has internet access in North Korea... a while ago someone on 4chan posted an IP where you could telnet into a North Korean Linksys router. Someone even remote-desktoped and started messing with a North Korean computer that was running Windows XP.

Nah, there's absolutely no chance it could be anyone else.

OP, congratulations on taking some money from the real Kim Jong Il!

That can't be right.... Kim Jong-il doesn't lose. I'd hate to play that guy in anything.

38 under par and 5 hole-in-ones in golf, bowling a 300 on his first time, etc. =P

What kind of files did they have on the computer?

you do realise that on a lot of poker sites you can put whatever location you want as long as you haven't deposited/withdrawn?

That would be really funny if it were true. :p

I can imagine some drama of him trying to secretly cross the border, and make his way to the GSL qualifiers all while trying to keep his identity secret. Then he makes it to the finals, and his identity becomes revealed, and it's a battle of the North and South Korean Terrans!!!

(I bet he likes to use ghosts and mass nukes too, probably his standard build)

The most authoritarian states tend to label themselves as things like "People's Democratic Republic of _______." Dictators are not genre savvy enough to realize that most people already know this trope.

I hope OP is joking, otherwise he should be banned.

It's pretty obvious that lots of people in NK have internet. Obviously they are not available to commoners, though.

Agreed with this poster. I think the OP should be banned. Jokes about the Great Leader are unacceptable. TL needs to show the Great Leader that they are loyal to the cause before the Great Leader is forced to take actions of his own.
