Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

yes it's nice seeing someone vlog those stakes and giving strat, which is really uncommon

but again this bears repeating

nobody who believes themselves to be infallible and explains away all mistakes etc later is anyone you ever want to listen to

if this were a 1-2 player you wouldn't be impressed

he can also easily edit stuff (he obviously does in first video he films himself getting seated and then suddenly cuts to a different table and says "our first hand of the day" so he clearly got pounded at that first table and then started over and only showed you the 2nd half"

it's quite possible he had 2-3 losing sessions which he didn't post before picking that winning one for the 2nd film as well

this guy has put out 2 videos over the course of 13 days and who knows how long he'd been filming before he finally found stuff to post

there's zero chance he only played 2x over a 2 week period

he's just cherry picking the best sessions

this doesn't mean he's not a winning player overall, but it's frankly very troubling to me that any of you guys would for a single second buy into that guys schtick simply because he's both playing mid stakes and showing winning sessions

like this guy has clearly been trying various things to become a guru for a while

like look at this abortion

absolute ffing clown show

Rick you clearly need to check in with yourself.

It reminds me of Trooper putting a lot of emphasis on live reads. This guy doesn’t seem like he would tilt so easily though; his vibe is much more calm.

Its so easy to just become good enough that all 1-2 games in the world are all amazing games. Why is rice so against putting any little bit of effort in, the world may never know.

I can guarantee you any 1-2 game in vegas is beatable for 20+ an hour with just a little bit of work, and 1-3 30+ etc, especially at bigger casinos like wynn. The cope from diesel is just because hes a lazy loser who is stupid, thats all hes actually complaining about. The games arent tough thats just so ridiculous

what the heck is he talking about, I was in Mandalay Bay at the table for like 24 hours over 2 days this summer. and during WSOP, every room is full, there is no need to change rooms to get an 8 hour session. there are lots of great games everywhere.

ELD's understanding of a "good game" is ridiculous. he is not a poker pro. free roll grinder tournaments are for suckers.

Diesel thinks studying means he will start playing a more high variance style and go broke, he has said that in videos and YouTube comments. What he doesn’t realize is that he can be his old nit self but just have better bet sizing.

I don’t think he ever told a hand history with even decent bet sizing and stopped giving detailed hand histories. He’d raise pre with AK to $10 in a California 2/3 game, gets called in 6 spots and screams in his head. Then he tries to bluff the river betting $60ish into $300 gets called in 2 spots and cries that in Vegas he could bet $30 and get the bluff through 3 ways. No Diesel, that isn’t a good bluff anywhere.

How can he "play poker" 12 hours a day and get only 3 hours of sleep? It doesn't look like it takes very long to make his weird meals. I can't imagine it takes him an hour to edit his youtubes. Maybe he should cut back on watching crappy sitcoms and old Trooper youtubes.

But he has to watch King of Queens

I wish I could challenge you on that, but the closest poker room is 90 minutes away from me.

Diesel is supposed to be extra smart, right? He keeps saying so. He can't do second grade arithmetic to figure pot odds?

el oh el at "5 hours commuting" in Vegas one day just to fill an 8 hour session

whether he is a long term winner or not, his strategy and tips and the way he walks through hands is helpful. live poker at a casino is a very different than playing online. I like his videos a lot better than Jonathan Little which is just GTO GTO GTO

-Things only said by people who don’t play 1/2 or 1/3 in LV

Not sure I agree with $20 and $30/hr. Beatable? Yes. Maybe $12 and $22ish are more realistic

I mean, I am a rec player who usually gets killed at cash most of the time in North Dakota and wins most of the time at cash in Vegas.

1/2 - 1/3 Vegas games are pretty predictable

Predictable yes. beatable for $20-30 / hr , no .

All you have to do is visualize it as a bell curve to see how absurd this claim is..

The average “profit” per player is a negative number equal to the rake plus tips , $12 / hr is fair.

So draw your bell curve with the center at -12 .

This means 0 is somewhere far off to the right , just to break even .
I don’t know what percentage of players are profitable , it could be anywhere between 5% and 25% but it doesn’t matter much.

Then try to picture where 20 or even 30 would be , somewhere way far at the end of the tail on the right .

This represents the people who sun run , which is the only possible way to make $30 / hr in these games over any significant sample size

sounds like talk from someone who isn't connected to themselves nor their opponents

IÂ’ve beaten every public stake in Vegas for at least 10bb an hour lifetime and play high stakes online and live. I know exactly what IÂ’m talking about and have said it many times in this thread. I donÂ’t even think itÂ’s difficult. I think any 50nl or better online can do it with ease.

$30/hour at 1/3 in Vegas? Um. No!

I shoot 69 at Augusta while doing meth.

Not a thing!

Easy

While I think $30/hr at 1-3 is possible in Vegas, it's definitely not a little bit of studying and some tweaks and fixes and poof, you're a $30/hr grinder. $30/hr in Vegas is probably 98 percentile. For Vegas games, anything over $20/hr is doing really well.

It has nothing to do with your skill level either and all to do with the quality of games as a whole. If the player pool isn't making egregious mistakes for lots of big blinds, like say raising a $30 bet to $105 with AA on a flushing and one liner board trying to get a set to fold when your line doesn't make sense for a flush or the straight, it doesn't matter how well you play. There's just not going to be a lot of money to be won.

If you have a bunch of Troopers at the game each losing $5/hr to $10/hr, most of that hourly is going to go to the rake. There's just not going to be a lot for the 1-3 wizard to win.

If we're talking Texas games and Florida games where there's deeper stacks and more deep pocketed recs, $30/hr should be the floor for a good player. But not in Vegas.

The PH days are dead.

Dude, no one in Las Vegas is making $30/hr at 1-3.

I doubt ten people in the whole LV Valley are making $20/hr.
