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!
How is 3,000 hours possible if he spends 2 months a year in parents basement showing us how to reorganize plastic utensil packets?
He claims in his last video that if he could make $50 per hour from poker he would play 400hrs per month and retire in 2.5 years. This level of stupidity and ignorance is really unprecedented.
He forgets that with a $50 per hour win rate there is still going to be wild swings up and down. How is he going to play 400hrs per month when he quits for the day every time he loses a single buy-in.
Also it's hilarious how he thinks making $50 per hour he could retire in 2.5 years. It's like he doesn't realise how much people are making in the real world. Guaranteed that a lot of his classmates from law school who he was so much smarter than would be now earning well over $50 per hour.
He has such contempt for anyone who disagrees with him, you can really feel the venom in his words during those videos. It really bothers him.
You’re never going to win an argument with him, he’s never going to have an open mind, and he’s living the life he deserves because of his mentality. He was always the best

In the last couple of years, he was about 1,800 hours per year according to his videos. Don't believe everything you read on here, there are trolls galore.
Diesel gets in his own way
I actually think he's exactly where he should be. Making $13/hour playing 1/3 and playing when he wants is him making it.
Otherwise he'd be constantly quitting/getting fired from jobs and talking about how he was the best but management were just idiots.
I know many of these loser types.
They are relatively intelligent but have 0 EQ, they have unfounded ego and pride and refuse to work jobs they consider beneath them. They think they should instantly be in a senior role
I get the feeling he is no longer making $13 per hour.
Rice: "I'd rather play 8 hour days and make $14 per hour than play 4 hour days and make $25 per hour."
Rice actually said this.
Rice would make $3/hr playing the extra 4 hours.
In the last couple of years, he was about 1,800 hours per year according to his videos.
Rice played a little over 1500 hours of poker in 2023. He has yet to talk about out his 2023 financial results. Based upon all the whining Rice did about 2023, they weren’t good.
Trooper used to struggle to make it to the poker room by early afternoon, now he is jumping up at 5am because there isn't enough hours in the day to make all the candy they need to.

Yup it also shines through in his comments too. Anyone who doesn't compliment him or agree with his absurd takes is a miserable low life!
He's truly one of the worst kinds of people. Not because he's malicious or because of the way he lives, but he's just incapable of exhibiting any of the qualities of a likable person.
Smug/Know it all [emoji736]️

Incredibly cheap to the point it inconveniences others, which forces "friends" to treat him like a charity case [emoji736]️
Unkempt/Questionable hygenie [emoji736]️
Due to his untreated mental health and grandiose autism it's impossible for him to change or view things from a perspective different than his own. His existence is a frightening reality where he'll bury his face in the sand forever.
Hes a lost puppy, he cant admit hes wrong about anything, he gets so angry at anyone who criticizes him he has to make up that they are miserable or whatever it is.
Id rather play 4 hours making 25 an hour than playing 8 hours making 14 an hour, is that a serious comment? So what hes essentially saying is 4 hours of his time is worth $12, thats a really warped view of life. 4 hours of my life is worth $12, like go get another job or something and spend that 4 hours doing anything else, but when you have no money to spend on anything, i guess maybe the $12 is worth 4 hours of your life
Itd be one thing if he was making big money doing this, but like his retirement life isnt a real retirement anyway, he doesnt make enough money to actually ever retire, inflation sadly does effect him, all of these things he thinks, come home to roost. And thats why he is where he is. Hes never going to be able to own a home, hes never going to be able to have a new car, i cant imagine what hell do when his beater breaks down. Hes never going to be able to afford insurance, hes never going to have a social life because that costs money too, nobody wants to hang out and stare at a wall all day with you. Inflation makes his nest egg worth less every year, probably beating any gains in this mythical portfolio if its real, even if its not, its making it relatively just stay equal. He has no skills, its really a bleak outlook for him and its really entirely his fault. I almost argued with him today in his comments but didnt hit send as it wont make a difference the guy is just lost
The venom in his words and comments come from him frustrated because hes so good, and so much better than everyone, but it isnt working somehow still, even though hes the best, he just cant get anything to work out. Thats what i think

His favourite insult is to call people miserable who disagree with him or who question him in the comments. But ironically, by all objective metrics, Rice should be the miserable one. The only thing that is perhaps saving him from that reality is his grandiose delusions and denial.
"Mean" is a word that should only be used my 13 yo girls.
Not middle-aged men.

A 10-second comment sets him off.
His responses have been brewing for his entire life.
Lol how can someone who dominated academics not see why you would play high stakes with whales if you could only play with them once or twice a week?
"Got it. Someone who's nuts, but occasionally says something that makes sense, always questions the nosebleed stakes on Hustler Live. "Are these guys playing $200/$400 50 hours per week? Does it even run off camera? What's the point?"" - Diesel
If Diesel were anywhere near as smart as he thinks, he would start trading. The market opens at 6:30 and closes at 1 pm. He wouldn't even have to trade the whole day. Luck isn't really a factor, the market goes up and down the same for everyone. It treats everyone the same. A smart and disciplined person can make money. What's Diesel's daily nut, about 90 bucks? He could make half of that before 9 am most days and go back to sleep until poker time.

Even once or twice a month for most people. Mariano made almost 26 grand in his last video. For Diesel, once or twice a year would be plenty.
Of course if Diesel had a million dollar roll, he would sit on his 3% dividend and make 30 grand a year by doing nothing.
The description of his mean stupid wrong YouTube comments - Being a Las Vegas poker player with a YouTube channel attracts a lot of miserable, angry people in the comments section.
I haven't really looked in their comments section but Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme are universally well liked not only for their vlog content but you can see they are both genuinely good people how they carry themselves on video and in person.
Then there's Diesel and Trooper who complain about all the haters they get in their videos.
Wonder what the difference is?

what matters is getting in 50 hours. why play 200/400 in a dream lineup 15 hours a week when you can make 10 dollars an hour in 1/2 nl?
why play 4 hours for 25 an hour instead of tacking on 4 more hours on for 3 bucks an hour?
Has Rice ever had a video saying how much his investments have increased in a year?
The value of the free garlic, condiments, and bananas that he owns has been a consistent 2x-3x investment.
T is happier than a pig in ssyt.
He just should work at 7/11 already, they always have hiring signs he could work as much as he wants, and will make like 50% more than he currently does
And think of all the food they throw out each night, he could own pizza, breakfast sandwiches, hoagies, brown bananas. He could work for free and be way ahead.
