I played back in 2007 and the just recently. The best way i can describe it to you guys would probably be 2007, gold and 2013 GM level. Was a pretty decent winner back in the day but barely breakeven pre-rakeback now. Dont think Boxer is supposed to actually play and beat the game though, probably ambassador or promotion purpose. | ||

You play a ton of games, and in one game almost anything could happen, because the game is volatile. But in the course of multiple games there are patterns to study and counter. You also have to be aware of your own style image and play around the expectations of your opponent. | ||

Either way, Boxer going down the poker road is pretty lame for esports. Anyone with a foreign passport can gamble to their heart's content at any casino in Korea however Korean nationals can only gamble at one special casino (Gangwonland) which is miles away from Seoul or any other big city. As for online gambling I'm pretty sure it is illegal to gamble any large amounts as several celebrities recently got in trouble for it, however this site may be using a loophole (small bets or play money that can later be exchanged for real money). Edit- Hmm, looking at the web site, it looks like they may be based in the Phillippines rather than Korea. | ||
