Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

This.

If you’re just going to **** off, then just **** off.

At least this thread would become Dr Phil infused psycho babble free for a while.

Still on Mommy and daddy’s plan? GTFO Diesel.

Grown ass men over 25 living on their own who still rely on mom and dad for anything is pathetic.

Never been to NYC then?

Or Miami.

$200 a night is nothing in most major cities. Expect a run down hotel or to be far away for under $200.

Airbnb when I had to stay over. usually just a day trip when I lived back east

this is why my primary vacation spot for the last 7-8 years has been Las Vegas.
we had a rich friend with a big mostly empty home invite us to Disneyland etc so went to SoCal for cheap a couple years ago

I live a boring but enjoyable life

This is not entirely accurate. I retired last year at 56 and part of my passive income is derived from monthly 401k withdrawals which can be taken without penalty under the Rule of 55. The twist is you must have an actual job to be able to qualify for this exemption

He must’ve missed that day at law school

Yes, but you've already paid taxes on those contributions, so there is no advantage. Taking out principal can severely affect your future earnings on that Roth IRA. The best bridge for early retirement to retirement age is a mixture of a brokerage account and an online high yield savings account. You're not limited in how much you can take out from those accounts and there is no early withdrawal penalty. If you only need a bridge of 3 to 4 years of living expenses, this can be easily accomplished via a brokerage account, even factoring in the non-tax advantaged status. You're going to have more investment options regardless.

Psycho babble in your mind, but most certainly based on truth. If you sent this thread to 10 psychologists and had them read through it, I would confidently say no less than 8 out of 10 would categorize several regular posters in here as having some of the traits I've mentioned. No doubt about it.

I do not know how old Diesel is, but I would assume he is in his 30's, perhaps his late 30's?

IF SO, he is in his PRIME earning years. He did not say how much he earned last year, but it looks to be sub minimum wage....perhaps WELL below minimum wage.

How much longer will he be able grind poker?

I've been playing for a bit longer than he has, and I've noticed that games are generally getting tighter/worse. Of course, there are exceptions here & there, but the overall trend is poor.

What if the economy hits a rough patch? That is certainly NOT going to help poker.

I'm thinking that if things keep going the way they are, low level is not really going to be playable in a few years.

So then what does Diesel do? At least Tim has got candy and a good woman! Compare the success of the two, Tim wins on almost all fronts.

What happens when Diesel can no longer profitably play poker? Is he going to get a job? Has he even passed the bar? How would he pay for a bar review course? If he passes, what firm is going to hire him?

I could only imagine a job interview (not likely to even take place). So you've been a poker professional for the past 8 years? What was your biggest win? You must have lived the high life! What, there are videos of you on the YouTube? How will get a professional job with that history? Those videos?

Diesel is going to be lucky to be working a Fryolator.

A Roth IRA is great if you don't make enough to deduct a regular IRA contribution.

With a 20%+ reduction in the value of Rice's portfolio, he better stay off the top floor of the parking structures.

I thought the Pole Rider retired.

I think he means he will be retired by 57 while others wait till 8 to 15 years from that age. (65 and 72)

I don't think Diesel realizes he's already retired. Promo grinder living off comps and watching mindless TV when he's not playing 1/2.

he said that? good grief

If you say you're gonna blow 50 grand on hookers and blow, youtube will ban him.

You realize there's a search function, right? I count ~140 posts by you in this thread since Oct. 15, 2023—including some (all?) of your fan fiction.

For example: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...

Promise?

How would they categorize Rice and even more than that the YouTubers who are jealous of him?

I haven't posted here in over six months and decided to skip around and peruse a few pages to see what has been happening here since then, but as I went through page after page, it was all basically the same thing over and over again. Only some of the names have changed, lol. You guys are hilarious. Do you actually type out the same posts day after day, or do you have them saved and just C&P the same sht over and over? No matter what page I landed on as I skipped around to get somewhat current, I came across the same posters with the same "thoughts" about the same poker players (and now apparently, candy makers).

And some of you aren't content to just watch and comment on these 2-3 youtubers, you also read and post to their comment sections, follow them on twitter and IG, research their GFs and families, and even research and report on cottage industry laws. Wow. And then these same people have the audacity to question the psychological profiles of the youtubers they are posting about. LOL.

Well, enjoy your pastimes, guys. Maybe I'll check in in another six months or so to see if you have discovered anything new to write about in the interim.

Weren't you writing fictional stories about Nomad and Trooper having a secret sexual relationship?

He is just repeating what DC2LV said early this morning.

well done Rick, well done

Correct

I can see some people don't know about the Go to first unread post button and instead use the last page button. lol
