Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

Jon Pardy doing a WSOP vlog this year, here is first one. He takes 20k to Vegas 10k for cash and 10k for Tournaments, not sure how the YT algo likes all the cussing. lol

I can actually see him having some kind of 50-100k inheritance where his thinking was I need to make this last since it's a one time thing.

Then when he's making 4-5 times what he's used to making by dealing he has an epiphany -that oh **** there's a lot more out there than making poverty wages and this actually a sustainable thing.

The Walmart pouches are sub-2 dollars iirc.

I know 2 pmen IRL. Spoilt by their mum, absolutely useless at everything. Zero self awareness. They are in their 30s. Before he knows it, Pman will be there too.

Pman wondering why he has anxiety is fantastic when you look at his lifestyle....

Feel bad for him to be honest. Thankfully his lack of self awareness means this comment wouldn't affect him too much

Makes perfect sense because 100k is next to nothing for someone without a steady income.

I checked online it turns out salmon is high in calcium and vitamin D which I think is how the Alaskan natives survived without milk.

When people show you who they are ("(in)capable of anything more than sleeping and being a degen fish 10-12 hours a week"), believe them.

This isn't hard. The signs were always there. The sun run last year was a distraction from the truth.

Didn’t Pman goto unaccredited Christian schools and work in AV at some evangelical church? He is doing pretty well for being an under educated, gambling addict that binges on booze and edibles. His dad is probably just thankful Pman can scooter down koval without dying.

Pink canned salmon is equivalent to cat food. Only canned wild red salmon should be consumed by humans..

Haha that is a very fair point. He really should be called PChild instead of Pman as he will almost certainly never grow up

Don't hate on pescado enlatado.

Don’t listen to this BS pman. Stay true to who you are and keep posting! We need more mildly entertaining content.

I miss the days when my wife and I could get the free canned salmon for WIC.
now I have to get it as a Christmas treat

Government cheese is where it's at

Desperation is an amazing motivator.

If R had thought dealing was his preferred career, he would have done it years ago.

Keto

been away for a while, can i get an el diesel update?

is he still dealing? is he now a changed man with stable income?

Apparently, and TBD.

The newest ELD video reports ELD will quit after the 50 days since he cannot do the no room challenges anymore and the biggest problem with nomadic lifestyle is the sleep distrubrances created by adhering to check out times after all night play. By staying up on Saturday night then subsequently taking the entire week to sleep at night at least on Thursday night in order to check out at 1 pm Diamond checkout on Friday.

Rice feels that even dealing 2 days a week would make it impossible for him to do his very important out of state day trips.

You know the ones; where he watches half a baseball game from the nose bleed stands or he walks aimlessly around parks and playgrounds before it's time for some pocket bread and then straight back to the airport.

Don't forget being homeless for 2 days to watch those 5 innings.

ELD is right on the cusp of a MAJOR life change.

If he chooses the right path, his life will improve in numerous ways....better/bigger bankroll, more security, better future prospects, lower variance, opportunities at better things. OR he can continue to try and be a low level grinder.

IF ELD could build a bit of bankroll, he could upgrade his situation and get a van/camper to live out of (when not getting comped rooms). He could avoid almost all the problems with check out times....

Another thing would REALLY make ELD "bank", is to pass the bar exam in a state. He would then become a licensed attorney. Once he is licensed, he could then become a "document reviewer" ala "Better Call Saul". I hear that document review these days is primarily remote. Thus, he would would need a good/sturdy/high end laptop and a fast internet connection. He could then do document review from 9-5 for $25 an hour!

Then after reviewing documents, he can jump into a night game. OR he could continue his dealing, and be a document reviewer when NOT dealing.

I also hear that document review is somewhat flexible on the time and number of hours you can work. He could work afternoons & evenings. He could work Sundays. If nothing is going on in the poker world, he might work 50+ hours a week.

He could almost certainly do the document review from his van! Doc review would also be excellent for ELD, as it has minimal human interaction.

He could be paying into Social Security! He could be making $1,000 a WEEK! Could the mind even fathom how much sausage, rice & bread he could buy with that kind of money? Heck, he could buy TWO BELTS!'

Add on his $4/hour earnings from playing poker, and he MIGHT be able to approach $50k a year in earnings!

He could also travel and work from the road! The only requirement is that he have electricity and a fast, secure, internet connection.

Of course, that would require that he pass a bar exam and get licensed...

good for el d, glad he has been able to hang in there, hope he can stick with it

His reasons for not wanting to deal after the summer are just hilarious. If he worked his ass off for 9 months a year he could easily take 3 months off. He could stay 1 month with his family for Thanksgiving and Christmas and then have another 2 months to do any trips that he wants.

And he would still have at least 3-4x more money to show for it than being a full time min stakes promo grinder. Then if he wants to continue living the nomadic lifestyle he would at least be able to afford doing it with a lot more comfort and convenience, and with a much healthier safety net.

Man that Rice guy is a piece of work
