Matt Crompton

Former editor for GipsyTeam and a poker player who now lives in Vietnam (and desperately misses live cash games). Before flying to warmer parts of the world, I regularly played live cash games around Vancouver, up to $2/$5 stakes. For whatever reason, Vietnam allows tournaments, yet forbids cash games. Online poker, APT tours, and local tournaments of dubious legality are the only options here.
