Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

thinkbluepoker keeps finding ways to not play poker and instead plays bacarrat after his shifts.

Another one of his challenges that he gave up already.

I actually think he is better off playing bacarrat than poker so in a way he's making the +ev decision.

He is a trainwreck when it comes to poker,no doubt. It will snow in hell before he gets through 1000 hours of cashpoker in a year.

Also he complains alot about being tired,having headaches,not sleeping well and so on. Try to stop drinking sugar soda on every break and consume fried unhealthy fast food for every meal dude, that will very likely help alot.

I don't know, I'd classify his as more of a tramp than a hobo.

How much sardine slurry can a bindle carry?

I dont know what state you live in but someone making 2k a month(side note, probably Rice's best month) is probably low enough to qualify for medicaid. I think in CO its like 30k or less and you get fully covered healthcare. My cousin is on it and its honestly better than my paid plan. ER is $1, all scripts and dr appt $1, it takes a few weeks sometimes if he needs to make an appointment for something but not always. He does side gigs and poker and mostly just lives off money he won a few yrs ago. I think all states under ACA have to have some medicaid program, might not be as robust as CO but worth looking into.

Im pretty sure once youre 65 you qualify for Medicare. Its rare to not fall under this. You can get supplementary coverage as Medicare isn't premium, but its functional. The best healthcare is preventative. Live a healthy life, don't let injuries or illness fester, don't put yourself in high risk scenarios etc.

Its kinda ****ed up we're all watching this guy putter thru life never improving his situation or taking agency. We all struggle in different ways but for me its a good reminder of the importance of self reflection and actively moving forward in life. It seems the population is inevitably approaching a crunch where tens of millions of ppl will hit old age and have nothing and we will have to address it. Public funded retirement homes etc

Bac has a very low house edge. There are zero strategical decisions to make besides bankroll control. Technically anyone who is a losing poker player likely is more +ev firing bac since you're only a very slight loser in it. If I was going this route I'd probably sacrifice a bit of ev and play side bets as binking the 250:1 is life

ELD is probably saving the Nomadic pack loadout for his newsletter but I speculate that it should contain enough provisions for six days. The Nomad should plan on staying five days but if Friday night rates drop, simply call CET reservations and add an additional night and then have one day supplies in reserve.

....... and a dozen autographed 8" X 10" color glossies of his calves.

But do those baggy clothes hide a body builder physique? Diamond Plus has access to fitness rooms. When he is not playing poker, is he flexing?

Does anyone actually believe that someone randomly stopped Rice and asked him if he was a bodybuilder because he has good calf development?

I mean even if we credit Rice with having muscular calves or whatever; no sane person is going to see his calves and be so impressed that they disregard the glaring obvious fact that he's about 100lbs overweight for his height without the slightest hint of muscle definition whatsoever.

Rice also said once before that he was stopped in an airport and complimented on his calves. This just doesn't seem like something that would plausibly happen except for maybe in Rice's imagination. We've all seen his calves when he marches around in his basketball shorts. Did anyone see anything so amazing that they would have to stop a total stranger to compliment them about it??

Is it possible that he's fabricating these stories from thin air just to make himself look good? Maybe he thinks he has good calves and believes that he should be complimented on them and this is his way of drawing attention to them. Absolutely hilarious stuff!

No !!!

We got a brief glimpse of his wondrous calves from multiple angles.

Well now I see what all the hype is about. He's lucky more people aren't stopping him and asking him for calf training advice and also for signed autographs...

There are plenty of gay poker players hunting for bears.

I think this is just one of the things that will start manifesting itself more frequently as the mental deterioration continues its downward spiral.

On the same page, its way more likely this is something he is fabricating to make himself look better.

The chances of this happenning once is very slim, the chances of it happenning on more than one occassion including at an airport? Literally zero.

Today ELD discusses contingency plans since he believes he will not be Diamond in 2026.

Ideally ELD will travel to Vegas in January 2026 and put in ten hour days to obtain MGM Gold tier.

Then ELD will stay at the Excalibur whenever it is under $40.

He states he will rely more on Airbnb especially during the dealing portion of his Nomadic Method.

Possibly he will still stay at Harrah's when it is under $10 which will add up to $60 total with resort fee.

He will also try to stay at the Linq since he never has stayed at the Linq.

ELD also states he will likely avoid Atlantic City since the only reason he goes to Atlantic City is to use his comped Atlantic City Harrah's rooms.

However ELD fails to mention he should try to match his MGM Gold to Hard Rock Icon in Atlantic City which expires in March.

Last time I checked AC gives you a free room for playing four hours. Not sure why he doesn't do this.

Because 4 hours of play is about 15 orbits. Which means he’d lose $45 in blinds at a 1/2 game and $60 in blinds at a 1/3 game. “Free” room? Pffffft

Yup... the last time Rice played a 4 hour session would have been several months ago before his winter hibernation in his mommy's basement

10 hour days in 2026? LMAO. This guy is the dumbest.

But he is a winner

Just curious how Corey Eyring raises $15k to play poker in 20 minutes and why Somerville keeps throwing money to him.

Wish I had those skills.

Wonder how he could be schlepping so much crap back and forth. Probably because it includes a fully equiped "kitchen".

You forgot the spork.

When we both lived in the Bay area, someone asked my buddy if he was on the Raiders. But he was 6'10" and well over 350 pounds, with arms that were almost like Hulk Hogan's (he was bored all the time, so spent hours every day at Gold's). I've seen him carry a stripper under each arm.
