Nothing about him strikes me as having "bad parents". Maybe they're just self-absorbed boomer types who never corrected him or treated him as an adult. "Aww that's our little rice ball" types. It's easy to write off his quirks and inability to understand a different perspective due to autism, but autism is a spectrum and I've worked with a few dozen people on the spectrum work

I guess it could be a combination of two (or more) factors:

-Autism often gets worse with aging, as we also have discussed in this thread before. Its not uncommon for people on the spectrum to see a pretty clear drop in function levels as they get older.

-It could also get worse in the presence of no healthy structure/routines in life- i would think its not good for Diesels mental health to live the lifestyle he does roaming around with no permanent place to live,eating worse than people in prison,no real exercise++.


It appears Troop's loss of comp income has ended his Starbucks addiction.

A loss of his only daily pleasure and sign of affluence.

Wny not add some caffeine to the Sparkli Pop? Get some caffeine powder and add 400 mg caffeine and market it as a Energy Sparkli


Rice needs to find a sugarmoma with an inheritance.

That could be a winner.


“Don’t do drugs, kids. Stay in school.”

Rice has personally destroyed popular advice.


Rice must be doing it tough because it's time for another one of his famous eating like a homeless bum challenges. For the first day he only ate french fries with ketchup and mayonnaise. The next 2 days he plans to only eat 2 bagels.

Lol, was thinking about the same thing when i just watched his recent "starve myself to save money" vlog.

Eating only french fries with that nasty pile of ketchup/mayo dip has to make you feel like absolute garbage. Omg.

But hey dat pokerlife though,he is living the dream.


by SharksDontSleep

He never brings up his police officer pension. Seem's like Kris was a guy who always had his hand out for $ trying to be the next pooper.

I assume he didn't serve long enough to qualify for a pension. Or worked at a time before sherrif's deputies received pensions.

Hey, he only has to put in a couple of 12 hour days at the tables, followed by some 8 hour days to partake in these lavish benefits.

How do you think he fits into those size 2 jumpsuits?

No lawsuits since T is judgment proof (broke).

His dealing skills will keep him alive in prison.


Word hard not smart. Maybe Troop and Rice are just dyslexic.


I had to stare at that thumbnail pic to realize it was a whipped pile of mayo / ketchup ... it's a cringe level of sad.


Rice claims that for the duration of this food challenge he will only get water for his voucher drinks, then proceeds to get a Gatorade on the first day!

When asked about it he argues that he got it for after the challenge is over. If anyone needed more proof that Rice is blatantly dishonest, this is it.

Rice is an entirely different type of beast, though. His inability to comprehend a different way of life or perspective is getting scary. Even the most autistic people I've met in life have a level of self awareness that just isn't found in our hero.

The hypocrisy is astounding here. While he may not be able to comprehend a different way of life or perspective, neither can you. He has chosen to live a simple, non-traditional and low cost life. He seems perfectly fine with the decisions he has made. You find his way of life as alien and unacceptable.

Autism actually does not worsen with age, especially for those with high functioning autism, which I don't believe Rice has. I think a lot of you conflate personality quirks, or unusual ways of doing things or thinking about things, with autism. That seems rather derogatory in my opinion.

i'd actually agree with this if he wasn't so delusional about his own poker abilities and what people could make easily with decent jobs. His win rate is a joke but he thinks he runs terrible and smugly thinks he's gonna be the 3rd person ever to retire from poker. He's obviously not happy with his piss poor win rate or he wouldn't freak out when he loses a couple of buy ins.

kitty kuo just had a kid but afaik still unmarried

she definitely likes them young and preferences pretty specific to white americans

I can comprehend it totally. It may work for him now, but 5-10 years down the line when he's in his 40s, comps get worse and he's wasted away his best years chasing the rabbit, it's not going to end well. But at least he'll have a half million dollar portfolio by then and be raking in the big YouTube bucks once a month.

I can comprehend living on an order of french fries for the day to save money... hell, I grew up poor AF and know what it's like to crawl out of absolute zero. Still, starving yourself to save 4-5BB a day, when you claim you make/have more money than you'll ever need is still delusional and ****ing "we-todd-did".

But I get it, I'm not your cup of tea and you'll pretend to be oblivious to the facts spoken by Rice himself but it's all good.

Live in your moment of virtue. Here's a prize. [emoji471]

Autism actually does not worsen with age...

https://www.goldenstepsaba.com/resources...

Quoting from that page:

"While autism does not necessarily get worse with age, there are some factors that can exacerbate symptoms and make it more difficult for individuals to manage their condition. For example, stress and anxiety can have a significant impact on the symptoms of autism"

I'd argue the lifestyle that Rice has chosen is the perfect storm. Being a homeless nomad, relying primarily on poker to make his way in the world, would be anything but conducive to managing the challenges of his condition.

You can tell from his rants that Rice despises the volatility of poker. Most likely he subconsciously realises that he does not handle stress and anxiety well. He could sit at the exact same tables, dealing the games instead of playing in them. He wouldn't have to move around from room to room, he would earn much more $$ per hour, and he wouldn't have to deal with the stress of losing streaks.


That Ketchup and Mayo mix was the grossest thing I have seen on his videos since the last thing a few months ago.

I will have ketchup and mayo on various things like a hamburger but mixing them together for fries looks pretty gross. lol

it looks gross but it's actually a good tasting mix, so I'm on rice side for this. various elite sauces are mayo+x mixes .. pommes frites has like 20 different sauces and 5 of them are mayo+x combos that are awesome
