Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

Just so good. Ownership of groceries. LOL

POTD. Lol.

If he was more agressive and less of a nit his variance would definitely go up even if his win rate was higher. He thinks losing 1 buy in is a lot and 2 almost never happened bc he's so tight. If he played better and pushed all his edges these "big downswings" would happen more often.

While he's really out there are far as lifestyle etc there are plenty of mega nits like him petrified of putting money in without the nuts. They wear their not getting stacked badge with honor and never realize it's really handcuffs keeping their win rate way down.

Even in this crying video of all of his good hands getting cracked- that's just normal poker. And while it's good to minimize losses, if you're almost never putting money in with your really good hands, you save some money when you run into better hands but you also leave a ton on the table when you're ahead. So yea if some OMC 4 bets you on the river you need to fold strong hands. But that doesn't mean you can't ever put money in without the nuts.

I wanna see a live stream game with trooper, diesel, p-man, bikeking and random people from this thread.

People would be so damn confused why the heck they would make a livestream game of homeless and autistic people and internet trolls but imagine the views from this thread.

So Diesel's gameplan is to play on passive tables filled with nits and omc's and exploits those players?

Any sign of action he switches to a different table?

so 4 rocks and 5 randoms? Sounds a lot like an average Hamster Sunday game.

I think that is the lowest in a long time, he will be kicking it up a notch on survival mode. Several more notches before it's total survival mode.

he reported sub $24K on August 31st, at this point no one should doubt GOAT traveling low limit grinder

TBC is the goat of vagrant 1/2 nl grinders.

im worried that what will happen to him will happen to me. he is a little bit older than me and the last time i played with him he wasnt fully sharp and as time goes that bankroll will only go lower and lower. so i plan to get a job eventually.

i recently played with a player who was sharp in his 40's and now at 60 he has become a bad player.

It's really a good lesson for young pros. Be smart with your money,invest well if you don't want to be the 60 year old with nothing saved grinding low stakes you can barely beat bc the game has past you by.

I know several people in my player pools who fit this description perfectly. 55-60 years old 5-10 years they were decent winners who are now clearly losers/break even. A few totally quit.

I have no delusions that at 60 ill be able to keep up with 25-30 year olds working their way up.

Mentally you slow down and you can't fake being young and hungry.

how are u doing now?

Not a very good goal. If he's as nitty as everyone here says, his stack isn't going in w/out nuts or close to it.

Ha, I've done that in one weekend. 16 straight buy-ins.

I did that 2 nights ago, lol. It had been a very stressful work day and I was beat. Then I went to bed at 1 am and couldn't sleep.

In todays episode our hero El Diesel teaches us about stretching/exercising and having a good diet to set you up to achieve playing alot of hours.

He is preaching about this stuff while smoking a cigar of course, i mean what can you expect my gawd.

Haha but he needed to smoke that cigar during the video or else it would have went out! Tells us not to eat big meals, but we all know he eats 4lbs of Frosted Flakes and rice in one trip to the mgmg buffet.

Is diesel inhaling all these cigars and how often is he smoking? It seems like he’s sucking down cigars like cigarettes now, his lungs must be taking an absolute beating,

It seems like he is inhaling yeah, and if i remember correctly he claimed in a video to only be smoking like sub 10 cigars in a year. Wich i think is another lie, he seems to be smoking alot and it seems to be increasing.

With the lifestyle we have seen documented from him he is not a big fav to pass 65 lets put it that way. He has all the worst triggers besides alcohol. Horrible sleep patterns, smokes cigars, his diet is total trash, sitting on his ass 20 hours a day,zero real exercise, he is overweight with clearly visible manboobs++. And if he does make it past 65, he is gonna be in horrible health shape if he continues to live like he does now.

He didn't talk about having a good diet. He talked about quantity of food and eating smaller meals. While I do think that's good, he's missing the bigger thing which is QUALITY of food. He's not going to talk about that part cause we all see what he eats.

It's like the saying, garbage in garbage out. You eat walmart quality food, your mind and body will run at walmart quality. There was a reason All American Dave food truck was so popular during the WSOP when it was at the Rio. Not only was it convenient with table delivery, he prepared high quality meals with the high quality ingredients. It was a balanced meal with a solid portion.

Diesel eats trash, his body looks like trash, his mind is trash.

Also funny how he brings up making money as an end goal but spends so much time changing rooms looking for good games while saying volume is key. Talks about finding good games but not learning to get better to take advantage of said good games.

These vlogs would be a great level if they were but sadly we know Diesel actually thinks like this.

TBC has been struggling with the effects aging has on his poker play and on his life. Getting older takes both physical and psychological adjustments. Those of us who have worked on securing a plan for the future certainly have less anxiety with the process. For others, ignoring the inevitable works.

TBC is gonna struggle with only a 35k roll, especially since that seems to also be his life roll which he uses to pay for all his living expenses with.

Not too many BJ games he can afford to play profitablly with that low of a bank/life roll. A $10 min table with a 6 deck shoe if his max bet is $200 could still be viable. But double deck games tend to be at least $25 min bet and that would be out of the question for him. A few bad swings could wipe him out pretty fast.

Nah, that won't happen, he lowers his max go off amount as his roll gets smaller and if it gets small enough, he eliminates everything except poker and eliminates table matching people also if needed.

He is far from those things happening though.

I was talking about his BJ play. That seems to be where he takes his biggest losses.

Doesn't matter he can't beat blackjack long term. No chance.
