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!
El D should branch out into selling some of his food treats at the farmers markets.
Why would your goal be to stack a super nit? Only way you'll do that is through a cooler where it's fine for him to stack off. What would that prove? You are basically giving him ev.
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.
I once saw him get stacks in with top pair, top kicker but also had a flush draw. That was back in 2016 probably. He was up against a set and he hit his flush.

He probably thought he was the favourite in that spot, so he definitely wouldn't consider that to be running good. But if he loses a buy in that's his version on running worse than anyone on the planet.
the cds in loose leaf paper with zero writing is the ultimate troll for us .
you guys keep mentioning how he loses his mind when he loses a couple buyins anyone know the episode where he went off for like 5 buy ins?
Go Gamble Podcast should start back up with Rice as the co-host. I would legit watch that.
It would be just like that old SNL skit where Chris Farley was the awkward, nervous guy interviewing huge celebrities. “Remember that time when you went down to the strip and dropped off those lollipops?? That was pretty cool…”

And Trooper totally stonefaced like 90% of his interactions with Rice.... wishing he was anywhere but in the moment
It’s amazing.
1. Notebook paper as the cd “cases”
2. It doesn’t appear that the cases are labeled on the outside at all despite the fact that they are, you know, paper
3. The actual content on the CDs - Mike and the Mad Dog clips, sports play by play clips etc.
4. It sounds like they are 8-9 years old
These burnt CDs in home made paper cases are some of Rice's most valuable treasures, right up there with that receipt for a hot dog from 7 years ago.
If in a decently busy room anyone can sit down at a table, and eventually make their game the best in the room.
I consider rice a friend.
I absolutely do not doubt his dividend portfolio numbers.
I absolutely believe he -- voluntarily -- plays on an exceedingly short roll. And that this, along with the mindset that accompanies doing so does non-negligibly reduce his winrate. I believe he would admit the same.
I absolutely believe he is a solid 5bb+/hr winner at the stakes (1/2-1/3) that he plays
When I started posting people accused me of being rice and also a scumbag.
This dude posts this and not a peep.
This thread has come a long way.
Dude, ive read a bunch of your posts. You should start a podcast about trying to get out of the poker life/ get your **** together where you just talk about the grind, the life etc. I am a big fan of DGAF's sessions and I recognized pretty early on he had a story to tell way before his pod blew up.
I feel the same about you and I would def hype it to the other members of the DGAF podcast listeners and lots of folks in this forum i am sure would listen also. Would allow you to keep your anonymity
a podcast or a blog would be great.

LOL nice try but there's a massive difference. You signed up and instantly started posting in this thread defending Rice, and its pretty much all you have done ever since. The guy you quoted has been a member since 2009 and that was his first post about Rice.
Yes, and nicname says he knows Rice personally and also said nothing about any other posters opinions and has posted in this thread previously.
Meanwhile prev had a fresh account and came talking about other posters in addition to talking about Rice.

I've always liked rice. It's the whole reason I get a bit flustered at his refusal to take some of the good advice in this thread. I want the guy to succeed. I do laugh at some of the posts making fun of him, like his laundry expenses, and over explaining how to put air in tires, pointing out what a helicopter is. But I strongly disagree with the posts that make him seem like some kind of douchebag. The other popular vlogger in this thread seems much douchier than rice.

Good post. I have played with both numerous times. Little Timmy is a way douchier person than El Rice. Ones worship of the other is bizarre. Rice is smarter, kinder and a better player than Timmy. Is he quirky…yes. Great poker player…no.

The thread has been the same for a long time and would have reacted to nicname's posts exactly the same way a few months ago or whenever you started posting here.
The thing that definitely has not come a long way is your comprehension skills

For sure brother! Until you have at least 500 posts in this thread and join the circle jerk. GTFO!
when i first posted there was fan fiction of trooper and diesel and comments about how diesel was going to make a skinsuit of the trooper and a dude looking into lady trooper's divorce records.
Not to mention people doxxing diesel and people finding the trooper's address and looking up trooper's business license obsessively.
This thread was a straight up cesspool and now in comparison it's very nice!
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 ov
He's not even 40, right? I'm a big fat slob now, but in my mid 30's I wasn't even 200 pounds.
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.
Wrong, he's always talking "healthy food" when talking about his rice/carbohydrates and weird sausage/fat and nitrates.
It's like the saying, garbage in garbage out. You eat walmart quality food, your mind and body will run at walmart quality.
Nothing wrong with Walmart food. Food doesn't get worse because Walmart sells it vs Albertson's.
Or how he thinks only 2 people have successfully retired from poker, and they are mark vos and his one friend who played 2-5 or something. That’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard anyone say. On the same level as Eric the actor believing there are werewolves in new mexico
He also isn’t capable of retiring from poker because his income is so low. To think he will be able to retire from poker is completely ridiculous. He saved 2k last year or the year before he said.
He made more than that from dividends, from what i read. His investment strategy sounds fine, but un-optimized. Plus his youtube money.
But yes, at his current rate of income, he's not going to make his 10 year target. He needs more income, maybe selling blood and sperm, lol.
-Damn- I looked it up, selling blood and sperm pays pretty good! You won't get comps, but you don't lose anything either.

Pipe dream he literally always seems like he’s 2 bad sessions away from being on the street
Cause they're the least rolled. Losing 300 in a session for Rice is like 3 months of Food and Laundry expenses
This is definitely true (them being the least rolled) but I think another reason is they have a poor understanding of poker and variance.
Bike King and Trooper act like bad beats aren’t supposed to happen. If they didn’t get all those unfair bad beats, they would be the winners they are supposed to be.
They don’t understand why they get bad beats so it tilts them even more and it feels so unfair to them. They are the unluckiest players ever. No wonder why they get so upset and go on tilt.

That stuff will still go on.... it just comes and goes in waves. I don't think there has been some fundamental shift away from that type of thing
Rice mentioning how difficult it can be to come up with ideas for daily vlogs while somehow failing to grasp that his poker results for the year could be of interest.
Rice mentioning how difficult it can be to come up with ideas for daily vlogs while somehow failing to grasp that his poker results for the year could be of interest.
And daily, weekly and monthly totals especially for someone in the #pokerlife
While seeing how he has to live to survive at 1-3 NL in Vegas is appealing for potential pros or grinders, the bottom line is most important.
It's pretty amazing how he shows monthly expenses and year to year expenses but the most important stat for someone playing for a living is how much did you make and is it consistent.
