its really obvious why there are hardly any good korean online poker players yet. the west is way way more strategically advanced in online poker. It's been HUGE and mainstream for us for the last 5 years. Poker on TV has enjoyed huge primetime popularity. Books and twoplustwo community have been around forever. Cardrunners and training sites have been around for quite a while now too. Any english speaking westerner that decides they want to get serious about getting good (and they are many in number) has such easy access to some very good material that can 'bring them up to speed' pretty quickly. Not only is the western form of poker (texas holdem) not at all mainstream in korea like it is in the usa, but if a non-english speaking korean decides they wanna treat poker like another competitive game and try to get good, what resources do they have to help them?
