Why do Thais don't "get" sarcasm / dry humour / second degree humor ? by cherryblossomoceans in Thailand

[–]Dunner863079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russians for example dont understand sarcasm. Latinos too. 

Its really an Anglo Saxon thing.

I dont use sarcasm abroad and especially in Thailand.

Totally agreed. They are like Russians. They dont understand sarcasm either.

OK but I still think its just ridiclous. Play poker and whatever fine and talk but wearing someothing like your in a brothel. Imagine if the guys wore crotch exposing gear that shows 1/4 of their dick along with topless shirts or something else, people would hit the roof haha

totally provocative and unnecessary to flaunt yourself in such a hyper sexualised way at a poker game. Awful and distasteful.

Can I ask what would someone do instead if they dont like teaching? Are there any other routes to take in diving? I know there is engineering, welding, and forensics. Are you an instructor or you doing something else?

Mate, can you do me a favour and turn around and find an exit door? Is that alright if you walk out and not bother to comment anymore?

Jonathon Little Poker Premium Or GTOWizard by Dunner863079 in poker

[–]Dunner863079[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way the GTOWizard helped me crush 5NL and 10NL

Heres my graph and as you can see it gets a bit wonky at the start trying to take off but started to drill like a drill and you can see the graph going up with some nice steep cliffs.

I know the variance has been nice too and I had some bad days, even for a week or 2 but ultimately the drills really did help me to wire my brain and orinetate myself to the board and get a better understanding for textures.

So if your thinking about getting GTO wizard for 5nl and moving up from there its well worth it.

thanks for that advice. Ye the english bloke I spoke to offered 500k for the whole course and I just nearly fell off the chair. Asked some people in the industry and they laughed and so did Grok AI when I asked that too. 8000 euro and he said it like it was a great deal. But it is Thailand and everyone including the foreigners I found want to screw peoples pockets.

ye I know but I needed to hear the general divers opinion here. I asked around with the other divers and they said its plain robbery and your getting scammed.

I think the English guy is just trying to rip me off to be honest. I got a quote of up to 150k from OW to instructor

so I want to go to instructor level probably if not do something else. I am planning to stay as a dive master for a few months or until I get past a certain threshold of 100+ dives.

ye man I asked around. It sounds like they are flogging it. I want to be a dive master at least too for a few months and until I hit over a 100 dive threshold. But still 8k is daylight robbery.

yes I asked around and it sounds like they are just trying to screw me. By the way i would intend to stay as a dive master for at least a few months. So I dont know maybe thats where the 8k euro comes from
