Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

It's amazing how Rice has a friend come into town for a couple of days who right away plays a 1600 dollar pot in 1/2 nl. That might be bigger than any pot Rice has played in 5 years and would definitely make his top 5 ever.
Meanwhile rice is "swinging" 100 dollars or less per session.

Yeah, that is hilarious stuff. Also his friend had far from the nutz in the hand when the rest of the money went in on the river, he had like bottom two pair or something.

Rice is very excited when he discusses his friends big pots, because he never plays any big pots himself.

Yea I remember him mentioning the biggest pot he ever played. Of course it was like a 3-4 way preflop all in where Rice had aces and held.

Yeah when Rice shows a hand on Twitter or talks about a hand in his Vlog you know there is a 99.99% likelihood that he wasn't involved in any way other than being a spectator.

The funniest part, according to today's vlog, up until now Rice has apparently been playing to maximise profits, but that is all about to change. Going forward, he's just playing to earn/maintain status at Caesars and MGM. Like as if that wasn't already the case!

Somehow in Rice's brain he has come up with the idea that he needs to play even tighter and cautiously. I guess that means his pf range will shrink by 50% to no longer include KK

For me the most crazy part is that he has managed to convince himself in his own brain that up until now he has been playing to maximize profits.

That is so far from reality its scary that he is able to tell himself such a massive lie.

Ya I love how he spins it like he's getting burned out from poker or retiring from poker cause the games aren't as fun. The reality is making sub $10/hr isn't a viable retirement strategy. Also funny how this revelation just happens to coincide with him starting to deal during the WSOP and making his yearly nut in six weeks. He also tried to deal the Circuit event at Horseshoe not that he needed the money or anything but just that he would just happen to be in town and him dealing would actually help the Horseshoe with added entries from his vlog viewership base.

But ya, Diesel finally realizes it's better mentally to enjoy life for two months before the WSOP starts than grind poker for $7/hr especially better mentally when you don't admit it to yourself and it's "just a change of focus" randomly.

I just played with him last night at Horseshoe. He raised 1 hand in about 3 hours, limped from the small blind twice, and was generally passable as a table mate.

AA/KK raise range confirmed.

How fast did everyone fold?

He won $40k from splitting a $250k baccarat tournament (thanks to winning a draw to get a seat at the final)

Not sure how much of that he managed to leave Vegas with.

Yea today he actually sounded honest about poker for the first time. It's maybe at best a slightly profitable hobby for him at this point and a way to earn tier status. Maybe he'll start acting like an adult and deal more than a Orleans series per year.

12 hours a day for two weeks? he can't make it to 3 hours in one day before getting tired or tilting or making other excuses to quit

My guess is Rice will be dealing multiple poker series next year.
If he had applied for the WSOP Circuit Series Las Vegas stop in a normal procedure, he'd be dealing that this year, which is ongoing right now.

Yes are per our chat at the tables last December. He dealt me quads, I tipped him 20% of my bonus.

He’s a nice guy. And a good dealer (MGM Grand).

Dealing poker is the job most wanna be poker pros end up with in the end.

Met PK in mgm a few years ago. Great guy. Then went for dinner at the restaurant next to the poker room and his wife was our server, lovely women. Glad to hear he is still dealing etc. He has won at life with his family and friends so hopefully doing well financially

Snap.

He had his priorities straight unlike most.

In today's youtube short ELD gives a room cleaning tour and explains his revised policy to not leave shavings.

The only thing that proves is that he's a pig who enjoys living in disgusting filth and clutter. The fact he takes all his crap with him when he check out is no great surprise. No doubt Rice thinks he deserves a global poker award for it tho.

That third thing there surprises me.

He should have applied when he was at Council Bluffs when the Circuit was there.

He's got some hot daughters for sure.

Live - Rampage playing the $100/$200 NL with JRB and David Williams, I watched this game last week and it was crazy loose. Rampage running late.

Clubs deals at the Venetian now?
