Professional gamblers play Mah Jong in China. There is a World Series of Mah Jong 2007 being held at the Wynn's Macau. I will be playing in it.

http://www.mahjongnews.com/

If you want to play in it, I could mentor you. pm me.

Practice online at: http://www.homahjong.net/system/howeb.htm?page=Main

There is also the APT and PAPT folding out for 2007, I will prob be in the HK, Macau events. I was in the Singapore event last month modelling for PokerStars Oriental fashion collection.

MahJong, a topic I've been arguing with some friends for a long time. I have a friend that believes he is a professional mah jong player that thinks that luck is 55% of the game. Even with such a small edge he thinks that he can beat the game just playing with his 30 or so circle of friends and make a decent living. (high stakes)

I always tell him that he should study more about the game and that maybe math or tells can play a part and help him gain a bigger edge. yet he is stubborn and believes that at 55% he is maxing his +EV. How can I tell to study more and be a better player? He is already fairly good but it is just experince. (About 15 years)

Any suggestions to make the next level? Never thought I'd be able to discuss MJ on a poker forum. lol

Don't know where to start, in the American style luck plays a bigger role than the HK rules.

Maths and tells are useful, MJ is an optimising game. You try to draw to the best hand given a time limit (Before your opponent goes out). So you need to estimate what hand your opponents are trying to draw into and what is da best hand you can make within that time.

That's all I'm going to say in a pubic forum.

I don't want to sound racists, but Chinese people seem to be very rude, have no manners and no concern for their appearance. It's funny that most Japanese are the polar opposite of this.

Arbitrage,

if you are an american, this might well be the funniest thing I have ever read on a message board. There is no nation on this planet more rude, devoid of manners, and care less of their apperance then the obese americans.

Thanks for making me laugh before I go to sleep.

Have you ever been to Mexico?

If you believe this about America then you seriously have not done much travelling ... The US isnt even CLOSE to the top of the list.

Was in Macau in January. Nothing much changed since the last time I went. Poker is still non existant there.

However, there was a real big plus and that was the Wynn. The place was nice and very comfortable. Can't even compare it to the Sands. At the Sands I didn't feel safe, the place was full of gangsters and triads.

The casino floor at the Wynn is huge and provides action for everyone. I was surprised they had tables as low as $100hkd minimum. Very pleasant trip and looking forward to go back there.

I've given hope on playing poker there, who knows when that will happen. Any updates on poker in Korea? Do they have small NL games at Walker Hill?
