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.

Is that for a room including electricity and a place to park? You are hereby nominated for the ELD award and recognition for housing cost containment.

It would be if I drove. I don't drive.

Furnished room. Shared other spaces. Private bathroom. A lot of the streaming services and I pay for some as well.

It's in hell, New Mexico.

My current rent is $500 a month. I wouldn't pay that much to live anywhere near the Westgate. When I lived in Vegas I was at Eastern and 215. I paid $600 or $625 per month. Can't remember.

Well now i feel like a jerk, but yes my hoa is more than your rent, almost twice as much. Youre a 1-2 grinder/dealer, the only places ive played since the wsop are iveys room/table 1 or private rooms at resorts world. Would play with you when you come to vegas though if youd like, love the confidence, think its misplaced, but love it nonetheless.

Pretty incredible you can have rent so cheap though honestly, the cheapest rent i ever had was my first apartment when i was 21 and it was only 500 a month because my friend needed a roommate. That was some time ago though.

Diesel really if he was trying to make the most money in order to retire as early as possible, which he isnt doing. id think living wherever you live and dealing or playing poker in texas would be a really good thing for him to do, i bet you can really do well if youre willing to live like that. Plentiful 1-2 games with punters and reliable work, thats really a winning combination for someone like that.


For those who dont know, bike kings father passed away, which is very sad of course, and condolences to him.

However, i wonder if he will give it another go now, he previously said that he moved back home to take care of his dad. His latest updates via instagram are him cruising around what i assume are the smokey mountains somewhere on his motorcycle with some friends, which good for him.

I actually have played a couple times with his co host to his podcast, joe teehan, now, and at one point had lost the biggest pot of my live poker career to him, when he value bluffed jacks and i folded queens on some low board in a straddled pot where the stand up game was on. I think Joe and bike king share some similarities i will say that. Have never seen bike king in the wild but judging from how he moves and acts from his vlogs, i think they are very similar. Overall very nice guy though.

There was never a vlogger i rooted for harder or that i cared about the outcome of what happened with them more than with bike king, he will always be my white whale, and his vlog is the best to me still, except when he tries to re brand himself as a sports bettor or makes up a bunch of lies, which sadly plagues all his vlogs


ELD posts a stack apparently of his winnings which appears to be $1407 for 3 hours of play.

I could put Rice, PMan, and Bike King all to work for $25 an hour and they could grind the Fort whenever they are off. Heck, Bike King could park his van on the ranch and save on rent.

It's hard work, but I can do it, and I'm 50. I can't find anyone that can make it more than a couple of weeks,tho.

One thing about working on the north end of a shovel, slinging hay bales and concrete, and building fence, you learn the value of your punts.

You also don't stay fat for very long. Bob should have came to see me a long time ago.

What a coincidence that he suddenly decides to posts daily result when its the one time of the year where he manages to build up a stack over a 1000 bucks?


Regarding the Trooper not vlogging through the big struggles of Sprkli, i dont think he is mentally stable enough the pull that one off. Even if those vlogs would get alot of views.

I would not be surprised if **** really hits the fan now with the candy empire, that it will be the end of them as a couple as well. Likely it will be the straw that breaks the camels back imo.


by prev k

A person in their 60s who's broke and fat and begs people for money has no right to criticize any of the vloggers discussed in this thread imo.

Very fair statement,agreed.


Physics Ph.D.'s are for suckers accoring to a Tiktok report of a Physics Nomad professor with graduate degree from UC Irvine who was forced to move to a storage unit due to UCLA not paying him enough for an apartment and calls for a hobo uprising in front of the Metrolink train tracks next to his storage unit:

them trying to pull off this candy business was always an uphill battle but i'm pretty stunned that it looks like it's already over so soon after starting their commercial kitchen.

I would have thought they would have at least lasted through their lease but I guess some ****ups are too big to come back from.

I personally feel awful for lady trooper and even the trooper as they really worked their asses off, but if they were successful trooper would be non stop gloating and attacking his haters, so I feel like if haters want to laugh at his failure they are justified in doing so.

The good news for trooper fans is we may see a return to desert manor and coffee, poker, burgers and pizza soon enough

More like $1027, those are $25 chips underneath the $100 chip.

Rice once again proves why he is the Promo King. He prefers to play at horseshoe where there are 3 tables going rather than Maryland Live where there are 50 tables going. Of course he needs his Caesars tier points/rewards and his precious rakeback promo $$$ in order to make it worth his while.

Then he says he really feels like a quesadilla from Wawa but he has to instead get a sandwich because they have a promo running for discounted sandwhiches. The man lives his life in order to squeeze every last cent out of every situation he possibly can. I've said it before but Rice puts Allen Kessler to shame when it comes to being a tight ass!

if bikeking wasn't a compulsive liar I would be rooting for him but he has told so many lies that I just assume he must be a scumbag and that there's probably so much more stuff that we don't know.

Unless he comes out with a vlog confessing about his lies and apologizing I will always assume he's lying to us about everything.

I am pretty sure we're going to see a vlog comeback from him. I wonder if he'll tell us he got a settlement from the western union bank hack class action, and that now he has a bankroll again.


For some reason it won't let me quote you like normal.

bobw525; "My current rent is $500 a month. I wouldn't pay that much to live anywhere near the Westgate. When I lived in Vegas I was at Eastern and 215. I paid $600 or $625 per month. Can't remember. "

lol, there are plenty of nice places near Westgate, including many high-rise condos, there are a few places in your price range also that I wouldn't stay at if you paid me.


When factoring in "low" teacher pay, they never seem to mention the future pension benefits they receive. In Missouri, the median pension is $42K/year. If you have a paid off house that is enough to live off of, especially if you also have investments.

Now, Missouri teachers don't receive Social Security, but they also don't pay into it either, which leaves them more money to invest with.

Not only that he is more of a tight ass than Kessler, but i feel like incidents like the food choice at Wawa is showing symptoms like compulsive disorder or compulsions. He is totally obsessed with not spending 1 extra dollar on anything, to the point where he doesent order the quesadilla that he says he really wants because they have a lol promo on sandwiches. Like that doesnt seem like normal behaviour to me when its done repeatedly over and over.


In today's episode, El Diesel "keeps track" of sh*t no one cares about and honey pots people into buying his "News Letter" to get the results; then he buys a $6 sandwich at WaWa's. Irresistable content...


I never understood the fascination with BikeKing.

When exactly did his poker vlog peak? All I have ever seen from him is one excuse after the other as to why he can't play, or why he has to quit playing. When was he actually playing regularly for a living and vlogging his play regularly?

It just seems he's in the same camp as Pchild. They like the idea of making a living from poker but aren't willing to do even 1/10th of the work required in order to make it a reality. So they just fart-ass around and pretend/fake it because they think it sounds cool to tell people they are professional poker players rather than the truth which is that they are unemployed losers.

Physics Nomad go on to address the fact that people from Ivy League schools feel superior to everyone for the rest of their lives and further that professorships are rigged in that even state schools only hire Ivy League graduates as full professors and thus since Physics Nomad went to a state school he was only an adjunct lecturer which lead to his homelessness. It takes money to make money in the professor game since only those who can afford graduate degrees from Ivy Legues schools earn the $900,000 full professor salaries and he is stuck as a Nomad unless he goes into private industry.

Physics Nomad is never going to make it unless he grows his beard out alot more and shaves his head and spends more time in parking garages.

Diesel's "Keep Track" stats is just something to do as he folds 90% of hands. He hardly talks and plays hands so it keeps his brain activated and engaged.

Normal people would be focusing on the game and how each player is playing and how they might play hands vs them. They also might go over a hand they played in their head. Not Diesel though. He needs to keep track of each pot size for five hours and how much in tips dealers are making.


by rickroll k

this is far dumber than anything any vlogger discussed itt has ever stated

I'm pretty sure that Rices' parents live in Long Island. The Median salaries in that county's school district are all over $100,000.

If he is only playing AA and KK. And playing them face up, analyzing others play is a miserable waste of time.

That time is better spent trying to weasel some free food and condiment packets.

Rice is a professional poker player.

yeah I'm sure teachers are underpaid somewhere down South but it's largely not a thing in the tri-state area

about 5-6 years ago a friend told me he was making $90K base slinging math to middle schoolers in the meh area of South Jersey, I imagine he crossed a 6 fig threshold a while back

They also don't mention job security and tons of time off.
Most teachers are pretty worthless and at best glorified baby sitters.

Great teachers, while few and far between are definitely underpaid.


Playing the $2/3 $600 max game at Venetian during the early football games. Phenomenal action and with players who are clueless on the double board PLO bomb pots. Not sure why Diesel can't find good games.

Even if he did sit in that game, he’s skipping the bomb pots [emoji817]
