Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

His player had not arrived at the table yet. There was no stack.

Whoever this Orleans dealer is that has been coaching Diesel up, he deserves to be sung praises on here and be recognized as the great dealer he is. You know he’s a big help when Diesel admits he has been wrong about something and this dealer has been right about everything. Reveal yourself anonymous, dealer, you probably have saved Diesel’s life or at least his dignity, he was one 60bb suckout away from eating out of dumpsters.

Why do you assume the audience is monolithic? I did not say the entire audience does not play poker whatsoever; his viewership is heterogeneous. I think he goes into detail when he explains things so that all of his viewers understand, not just the regular players. If he merely said there must be 3 low cards on the board for there to be a low, do you think non-players know that low cards must be an 8 or under and Aces play as low?

I feel like with pokernomad that his vlog is kind of us just watching him... with others it was like an adventure in a way. I think this was best about trooper and like neeme it seemed like he was wanted to engage with pokernomad it's kind of the feeling 8s he wants to talk but not engage with his viewers. Is just him talking about things. He seems attention seek8ng more so than others even if he doesn't want to come off that way.

what tipped you off, was it that literally 100% time of the video is with his face taking up half the screen?

Think Blue Poker is dealing at the WSOP and has been showing the EDR food near daily. Here's an example @3:30 mark:

Orleans is giving away various appliances every week. You have to get 50 tier points. You get 1 tier point for $5 coin-in. That's equivalent to 75 tier credits at CET. What are they giving away this Thursday? A rice cooker! It looks pretty jazzy too. Diesel's best friend/brother/schizoid personality should tell him about it.

Are you aware that Rice does this regardless of the topic of his video?

“This place sells good hotdogs but they cost $6. So if you only have $4 you won’t be able to buy one. If you only have $5 you won’t be able to buy one. If you have $7 you can buy one. If you have $18 you can buy three.” (Holds three ostentatiously selected fingers up to emphasize the number of $6 hotdogs you can buy with $18.)

Exactly

Except no one here said anything negative about that. That's a perfectly reasonable thing to explain.

It's funny how Rice is constantly encountering people "incorrectly" thinking that he is wrong on things. And he's that arrogant know it all type who will argue something to the death even when he's in the wrong. You just know it's eventually going to backfire on him.

I just watched and subscribed to this guy.

The Rice man himself watches this guy, and was in the comments.

He doesn't have the wit to argue anything to death. He will likely just repeat himself over and over.

"Blah blah blah...nah nah nah nah" kind of deal.

Which vlog does he discuss the hotdogs? Can you link the video please? Thanks

Diesel - "You need at least three low cards for a low to be possible. If the flop has three high cards, no low is possible. If there's only one low card on the turn, no low is possible. If on the river, there was two high cards and two low cards on the turn and the river is another high card or pairs the board, you don't have to worry about splitting the pot."

It's another example of Diesel overexplaining a simple concept three different ways.

I wonder what he thinks the average IQ is of his vlog watchers are.

Yeah that’s standard diesel, anyone he encounters in real life is a drooling idiot that is inferior to diesel. That even happened when Herbs and Rye thought Hawaiian Gardens was unincorporated but diesel smugly told him it is a city.

When this legendary Orleans dealer started talking, Diesel shut up and listened real quick with no arguing. Obv Diesel realized listening to this guy is going to make him money and even Diesel has a price to admit he’s wrong.

He’s actually wrong about not stacking the pot when there’s no low possible. Unless the Orleans is different than most rooms you should always stack the pot in a split pot game. If you only stack when there’s a possible low and don’t stack when no low is possible, you could influence action and give away information.

Like I said, no one criticized Rice for explaining what constitutes a low card in Omaha 8.

Were he ever to become a lawyer, he could make a nice living "arguing something to death even when he is in the wrong."

NVG has been a good sandbox to practice such tactics for much of the last 20 years, especilly when the Poker Players Alliance was around arguing about legalization in the US.

I admittedly did not see that video, but I would hardly call that quote "over-explaining".. I think it sounds pretty concise and gives holdem players some easy things to remember if they venture into Hi-Lo Players can use such help drilled into them on a regular basis.

Personally, I stopped playing "8 or better" years ago because too many times a couple of idiots got into raising battles when they were going to lose 1/4 with perfect lows.....

If I want a "4 hole card, six-way" experience, I stuck to Omaha High.

This post of yours is a transparent attempt at obfuscation.

It was pointed out that Rice uses this form of communication in which he beats a simple point into the ground with endless repetitive explanations.

As simply one example of that, the poster used Rice’s most recent vlog in which he beat into the ground the explanation of the number of low cards that must appear on the board to make a low possible.

Rather than engage with the poster’s broader point—that Rice beats his explanations into the ground—you sliced and diced it into the narrowest form possible and argued that, hey, he’s talking to non-poker experts who mostly want to know about Vegas comps so he needs to make sure they understand. Why people who are interested not in poker but in Vegas comps would want to sit through a detailed explanation of how many low cards must appear on the board in order to make a qualifying low possible is a question for another time.

What’s relevant to this discussion is that I pointed out to you that Rice’s endless explanations of very basic points is in no way limited to something as esoteric as low hands in poker. The man is perfectly happy to beat any topic into the ground with endless iterations of the same basic point. To illustrate this for you, I presented what is known as a hypothetical, one that involved $6 hot dogs.

I suspect that you know what a hypothetical is, but if not, look it up. Rather than engage with the point I was making, however, the point that the hypothetical made—that Rice will beat any topic at all into the ground—you attempted to change the subject by declaring that, “Hey, you know what? He never made a vlog about $6 hot dogs!” You presented this as a Gotcha! moment, but all you really did was make clear that you are unable to counter the point that, you know, Rice gives six examples of very simple and unsophisticated concepts.

Your many posts in this thread in defense of Rice are revealing you as yet another “childhood friend” of the man. You’re not fooling anyone.

how many hotdogs can i get if i have about 3 fiddy?

What happened to the good old days when you could see scantily clad young women lined up to get into the night clubs instead of obese, losing poker "pros?"

Oh you want to play it like that I see. Many of you regular posters on here suffer from egomania and it's plain as day. I am no friend of El Diesel and have never met him in person. I don't even know his actual name, oddly enough. I think more than anything, my contrarian views on most topics in this forum don't even stem from "defending" El Diesel, but calling out arrogant know-it-alls when I see them. I really don't see how you all can be so negatively affected by his supposed over-explaining things. Do you have some sort of personality disorder or do you just indulge in picking people apart for entertainment? Which is it?

ItÂ’s just so great that el diesel is so smart and good at everything while being a complete loser to the point where getting a job as a dealer is a major life and income upgrade to him.
