Gobbo other Thread got closed by the mod said it doesn't belong in the House of Blogs, hoping we can have this one without Trooper talk.

Trooper97 vlogs, discussions etc. will be allowed to continue in the new thread. That thread will not be unchained and I will work with the other LVL mods to keep it civil.

I personally am not going to allow a lot of the horrible posting that went on in the original thread to take place and I will be very generous with post deletions and bans if needed.

Posts the are overly derogatory, mean spirited, name calling (including using rude derivatives of names) , and demeaning posts towards any of the vloggers or posters in the thread will be deleted at the mods discretion. If any accounts persistently do this they will be banned or exiled from posting in this thread. In these cases we may issue a warning first.

Accounts that are used only to or substantially to troll post in this thread will be banned.

No personal family information or situations allowed in the thread.

********************
OK Vlogger Thread, we are going with some new parameters to try to make this the POSITIVE vlogger thread that it is supposed to be, not the AIDS vlogger thread where a few loonies ruin it for the rest. Note that 'positive' does not equal 'only positive', it means anything negative being said CAN'T be namecalling or wild, unsubstantiated speculation regarding any and all vloggers. Personal lives and anything aside from poker is OFF THE TABLE.

Haven't started one yet. May or may not start one in a few years when I retire. I plan on traveling 4 months each year hiking, backpacking, kayaking, doing scenic drives. If I start a channel it will be in the adventure travels part of YouTube. We'll see if I would actually put in the work to maintain a channel. As such, I've been studying the ins and outs of YouTube content creation so that if I do decide to launch a channel, I'll at least have a shot at gaining traction.

I know how inflation works, it's not a complicated thing to understand.

I didn't see your post about winrates, and I actually completely agree with you there.

But Diesel is actually pivoting to make things work. He has a small but increasing semi-passive income source from youtube, which has room to grow in the future as well as his new dealer job which he works for full time for 7 weeks which is enough to cover 50-60% of his yearly expenses.

Diesel is quick and nimble. He will stay one step ahead of the man.

ELD needs to do a video about the US Supreme Courts 2024 recent ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson which removed protections for homeless people and allowed cities to prosecute same if the homeless person fails to rent a hotel room. The legal analysis by ELD would be relevent. ELD's legal mind should argue for a weekend exception due to Friday and Saturday extreme rates.

He has already explained inflation does not impact him!

I'm still waiting for him to take Caesars to court over them retracting his 4 daily drink vouchers. According to him in one of his YouTube videos there is legal precedent with a similar case involving a tobacco company.

While he didn't specify the companies name or the particular court ruling/judgement. Nor am I aware of any tobacco companies that ever had a rewards/benefits program for frequent smokers. But I'm sure Rice couldn't possibly be mistaken or just talking out of his ass.

Perhaps the lawyer for the claimant was Jackie Chiles?

Camel Cash



I'd walk a mile for a Camel.

Huh. I just kinda assumed you were this guy:

I started scrolling back to try and figure out which one of you was first and I came across some material which I myself haven't watched but I just can't help sharing given this thread's interests.

Small world!


i love how OMC posts lady trooper thirst trap thumbnails whereas trooper just posts his face 😀


OMC confirmed busto

OMC confirmed busto

He is trying to pull a Trooper.

Move in with his squeeze and dump the money pit of a mobile home.


Now that the trauma of employment has thankfully passed, has Rice compared his income and expenses for the period he dealt this year and same period last year?

I want to know to the penny.

Does he regret his temporary employment or last year's unemployment?


Gotta love how confident Rice was that he knew the betting rules for Fixed Limit games, only to discover he didn’t. Seriously, how do you take a dealing job in a poker room that spreads more fixed limit games than any room in Vegas and maybe the entire country and not bother to learn the half bet rule for all ins?


our boy el diesel is finding a new audience

by bolt2112 k

For players who are curious about wages and tips for dealing poker, this video popped up on my YouTube page this morning. It's titled as day 17 of 50, so there have to be a bunch more videos by the same guy just like this one, but I haven't watched any of them yet.

by LowSociety k

Good info but holy cow, this guy is boring as hell. And I'm someone who can talk about dealing with anyone who'll listen. Save yourselves some pain and skip to 3:55 for the meat and potatoes.

He's talking about dealing multiple series. Orleans summer and winter series, maybe Horseshoe Circuit event, and maybe random Circuit or WPT events if he's running low on cash. With that war chest he might be able to survive on break-even poker, only playing enough for comped rooms and some food. He's in the position to travel at the drop of a hat, and now has the Orleans gig on his resume.


If he works for CET, does he lose his diamond status when he stops working?

Not to mention anomalies like F1 coming to town, or EDC.

I don't understand. Him being Diamond has nothing to do with him working for CET afaik.

Even I know this and I haven't played limit poker in at least 15 years.

Diamond tier will expire January 31, 2025 if ELD does not earn enough tier hours which was suspected since ELD spent time working at Orleans over the Summer instead of earning tier points at Ballys/Horseshoe. Unless if ELD got the match from Unity Mirage to Icon tier before Mirage closed which he can then take to Atlantic City Harrah's which will match existing Caesars Rewards members (unlike the Las Vegas locations) and in light of the fact that Unity Icon expires February 28, 2025.

El D is a tool. Tools are persona non grata for diamond status.

He also had chips stacked up to denote the pay in the thumbnail.

But why do any of that when he can just stick his big head in the middle and hold up a few fingers as if he's making a Sesame Street counting video.

It's funny how El D and Trooper have spent so much time making YouTube videos, but have invested 0 time in learning how to succeed doing YouTube.

Both are more concerned with "doing things their own way" than success. Their best friend could be an expert in SEO and building channels, and they probably still wouldn't take any help.

This is very true and is borne out by the fact that Rice's close friend herbs and rye appears to be a legit crusher and Rice has consistently said he doesn't want any advice from him about playing cards

Both are so narcissistic and ego centric that they can't imagine anyone would want to see anything in the video thumbnails more than their hideous mugs. I used to laugh at Troopers Instagram, his posts were 100% headshots.

Both of them had zero interest in actually improving their poker game or doing what it takes to move up and actually earn a living from it. Rice would cut expenses to the bone until he was practically homeless on the streets before he would consider the notion of making more money from poker.

Thank God for him that he eventually sucked up his pride enough to take the dealing gig, and same for Tim with the candy hussle. As pathetic as that is at least he is now earning honest money rather than running around pretending to be a poker player and scamming his followers.

Diesel doesn't realize how fortunate he is. Lots of players would be thrilled to have such a friend offer to help him improve his game.
