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.

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

Update April 2018
********************
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.

A new update March 2019:
NO ****ING POLITICS!
Pman is such low hanging fruit, I'm not even gonna bother commenting. Just gonna leave this here.
A few people in the comments saying that when he starts dealing at Westgate he might deal Trooper Thursday.... is that still running? One of the comments even said that could be a great networking opportunity for him.... probably only true if you want tips on fast food joints and retirement homes
Pdad has plenty of money and is a very loving and supportive dad.
Unfortunately he is also an enabler and created a nearly 30 year old man baby that relies on his dad to pay for 90% of his life expenses.
Pdad not paying for his poker bankroll is his way of putting his foot down.
At least he's not living off my taxes, which can't be said about everyone unfortunately.
yeah this has been discussed. I do not understand why anyone living in Vegas where there is plentiful live poker would bother "grinding" online poker.
is it that hard to take a shower and put on pants and shoes?
The idea would be that you would be playing both, or youd play strictly online for a couple months of 40+ hour a week plus then probably half that time a week reviewing hands. Playing either 50nl or live 1-2 10 hours a week is never going to get you anywhere, so the strategy is already dead on arrival because its being applied incorrectly. The idea would be that you would play like 20 hours a week of online and 20 hours a week of live 1-2 or whatever. Playing online is kindve like going to college, yes you can work right out of high school as a welder or something from a trade school, and make a decent living, that is true, just like you can play 1-2 and make 10-20 an hour but there are things greater than that available out there for you.
I personally think it is the best strategy for anyone trying to grind it out

Yup, commenting on this guy is a broken record.
Same crap, different day.

I play 10 hours a week of live poker, that's the most I can handle but I do have a full time job and would never consider playing poker as a profession.
The idea that pman doesn't work and only plays around that is crazy.
How lazy do you have to be, especially if this is your dream and passion.
This is pman's passion and dream, and he can only muster 10 hours a week at most.
I've meant it more in the sense that there were still data entry jobs in the US around that time
One can argue that the Y2K conversion was basically a glorified data entry job and people were making $50-60K in the mid 90s doing it
hard to imagine anyone needing much of data entry nowadays and/or paying over $4/hr for it

Sounds like that works for you then and that’s great, my point is really just that the strategy of playing online to become better is an effective one that is tried and true. Whatever the criticism is of pman, that’s what it is, but the strategy he’s trying to use isn’t a bad one, he’s just having a hard time executing it. But the strategy isn’t bad
I think it’d be very silly to just play live 1-2 all day like el diesel because you get caught in the trap he’s stuck in despite how hard he owns everyone in every situation and does the right thing always and is immune to inflation and aging or poor diet or obesity or whatever else his problems are he pretends aren’t real
Pman's latest vlog proves why he focused on tourneys over cash. He can lose infinite in tourneys and can realistically have the cover of "tourney variance" as to why he's buried.
You don't have that cover in low stakes NL cash which is extremely low variance. If you aren't crushing 1-3 NL anywhere in the country, you are an average player at best.

And on a limited bankroll he’d never multi-table 5.50s, 16s, 22s etc against worse players when he could fire 500 and 1000s. PMan always gonna degen.
Pman has successfully stayed away from this thread for a few weeks even when all the haters are having a field day. A small victory but it's something
Obviously the main purpose of this thread is to whale on the biggest clown shows in the circus but I have to say that Mike Reardon's vlogs really are excellent
Enjoyed that, a lot.
This is the standard people should be shooting for, some actual storytelling.

He'll be back. He'll need the sweet YouTube view money soon enough so he'll be linking his crap in here all the time unless others keep doing it for him - make him do his own links FFS!

If he plays a lot more 1-3 live then he would really destroy the bankroll. The smallest bit of negative circumstances that happen to him in a live game will send him on tilt. Or he just gets bored and ships 50 big blinds with pocket 2s preflop in EP.
Think Blue Poker and his degen buddy Brandon are heading for a train wreck.
Think Blue Poker videos are infinitely better than Rice/El Diesel's videos.
No that that is saying much.
Yeah he’s pretty bad at the poker and has bad leaks betting sports and playing slots. Maybe he can stay afloat long enough for his channel to start producing some decent revenue.
Pretty crazy that Think Blue Poker started his vlog in May and already has 2x the amount of subscribers as PMan.
Pman is probably the most ingenious person I have ever seen. His weirdo nice guy schtick is so cringe it only fools idiots like some of the mods here and like minded others. Numbers don't lie. Years on YouTube and still under 1k.....you do the math.

Just checked out some videos and he does not seem eccentric enough for a poker vlogger. He appears to eat normal food such as Canes which he paid for himself and not a leftover Canes and steak and eggs at Southpoint and pizza at Horseshoe which he unfortunately called Horseshoe. Moreover, I can't see him winning any debates and he never indicated how to avoid resort fees.

He also probably knows nothing about pocket bread.

You know, 'Rice' could teach 'Think Blue Poker' a lot about food scrounging and living 'off the comps' for freebies.

Way too normal of a dude to garner any excitement in his vlog. I only watched his first one and a few others in the “playing poker for a living” category. Pman needs to teach him how to self destruct during the negative times along with acting like a man child.
I find the tourney vs cash game debate pretty hilarious.
If you can't win in cash games than you are just a bad player period.
