GACKT Official X Update. Translation below
The USOP poker tournament is being held in Vietnam.
The results, to be honest, weren’t very good.
But, as always, poker tournaments offer a lot to learn.
While the majority of players are from Asia, there are people from the Middle East, Europe, Australia, Russia, and many other countries.
When you’re at the same table, you naturally talk about all sorts of things.
It’s quite amazing how you make friends all over the world this way.
This time, I made quite a few new friends from Malaysia.
While it’s a separate matter from the enjoyment of poker itself,
it’s genuinely nice to make new friends even at this age.
And there are two things that are quite interesting about Vietnam.
The roughness of the Vietnamese players’ playing style.
And the cuteness of the female dealers.
Both are at a very high level.
Even though I’m playing poker, sometimes it feels like I’m playing a completely different game.
One of my friends said to a Vietnamese player who was playing incredibly recklessly:
“Why are Vietnamese so reckless?!”
The player replied:
“Well, we Japanese are serious, and the Chinese are gamblers, so we thought it would be dangerous to play against them, but
we’re way more dangerous! Ha ha ha!”
He seemed to be aware of it…
He continued:
“Well, that’s probably why we won the Vietnam War! Ha ha ha!”
His dark humor didn’t stop there.
He’s strong.
In many ways.
By the way,
I was getting completely crushed by a Vietnamese player who looked exactly like Miyasako, who was playing next to me the whole time, and I even started to dislike Miyasako.
Actually,
There are at least three Vietnamese people in this venue who look like Miyasako.
What’s going on, Vietnam? By the way, my friend who keeps losing is completely lifeless.
Even when I call out to him from the next table, he can no longer hear me; he’s become like a statue, just touching his cards…
