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!
Hey, my friend David just started a new poker vlog. Would appreciate some feedback 😀
He's just trying to have fun with poker, not trying to be educational because he know he's not the best player.
Every time finger food at the poker table comes up, this video must be viewed. lol
Latest Sprkli video Trooper says he had several record sales days recently. So, unless they are cooking the books, next year they should be needing the commercial license and that possibly requires a commercial kitchen.
I am guessing even if they surpass the 35k in June, that it doesn't matter until they file taxes or whatever other end of year reporting has to be done with cottage sales.
He was talking about $500 sales days weeks ago and now breaking records and doing 3 markets a week, so easily 2k+ in sales a week + local deliveries and Trooper Sunday game deliveries.
Can't wait for the challenge when Rice only eats meals given to him from strangers for a week.
Ironically, it'll probably be the best week of nutrition he's ever had. If I was in the right mood and an NPC like Rice was pestering me for a free meal, I'd probably hook him up.
That Herbs and Rye fella has the patience of a saint.
Some radical in the comments suggested that Rice do a challenge where he concentrates on earning as much as he can from poker and then eating well for a week.
Where do these kids even get this stuff?

I doubt the $35k max sales requirement stops anyone.
interesting challenges that Diesel should do:
-losing 50 lbs in 1 year
-making $50,000 in 1 year playing 1/3
-shot taking at 2/5
-laundry expenses video

he needs to go straight to jail
It would be kind of crazy if a fan of the Troopers/SPRKLiSweets took an Uber/Lyft/Taxi to one of the SprkliSweets Farmer's markets from the Strip area, or other casinos.
I watched a few of Diesel's first few blogs when he first started but was so painfully bored and unentertained I quit, until just last week or whatever.
now I am happy to quit again and offer zero additional clicks
are there any good poker vlogs that can still be entertaining?
Mariano and Rampage.
Actually thought it was disgusting. Anyone who eats greasy chicken at the poker table (especially during Covid times) should be banned from the poker table.
And that goes for almost all finger food eaten while playing poker. People are nasty.
I don't see how anyone can eat finger food after handling the nasty chips and cards. The only stuff I've eaten at the table came in a box or plate, and I ate with a fork, or a Nutrigrain bar in a wrapper so I didn't have to touch the bar.
It's so disgusting eating finger foods at the poker table.
Not only the nasty chips and cards but it's just straight up rude when you grease up the cards.
Every person that I've seen eating finger foods at a poker table has been a disgusting slob, also usually drinking a daily bottle of gatorade and has biweekly beard washing sessions.
Someone like...oh shoot
El Diesel ends his food challenge and celebrates with a huge 1am feast which he seemed very proud with.
Gatorade, saltine crackers with canned salmon and cream cheese, and a small bag of Cheez Its he snagged at a hotel front desk check in. Not sure if the cream cheese was a liberated buffet condiment, but nothing says fine dining like canned salmon on a cracker washed down with Gatorade.
He ate happily while watching old Trooper videos in his hotel room while the rest of us could only look on and reflect on our miserable lives.
#datpokerlife
If El D spent half as much time working on poker as he does figuring out the optimal strategy to purchasing premade gas station sandwiches, how much better off would he be?
The food challenges are 100% only to save money because he suspended the last iteration of this challenge hours into it, when a friend of his was treating him to an acye meal. These challenges do not even get a lot of views compared to his most popular vlogs which are all related to talking about playing poker for a living or having something to do with poker rooms.
If Diesel did a low carb diet “challenge” he would lose so much weight it would be silly. From watching all these challenges, I’ve
How does someone survive making 7k-12k a year in Vegas? Even living cheaply it’s only a matter of time he’s deep in debt or actually homeless
I am lost for words after Diesels last one. He have barely eaten anything over the past 4-5 days, and of all things he chooses to rig the room for a feast of crackers with canned salmon.
Not only that, but he seems proud as **** also. This guy is not on this planet earth like the rest of us, like are you kidding me dude.

Bulldog people to buy you food at the poker table.
Carry around a 20lb bag of rice and rice cooker in your luggage.
Swipe as many free condiments as you can to add to your rice and crackers for extra calories.
Drink lots of milk and Gatorade with your free voucher drinks.
Diesel ain’t going into debt and he is already technically homeless. He seems to just be a promo grinder now anyway, he mostly plays in promo rooms and has optimized his play to get in the minimum hours for the player appreciation MTTs, to keep his Diamond plus status etc.
never heard of this guy, figured I'd give it a shot.
the first hand is one of the most poorly played hands I've ever seen. like car crash bad entertaining. that's as far as a I got

(I don't know how to imbed the YouTube video, if you can help, help)
That hand was.. interesting for sure. IMO he should just fold 22 pre there when getting 3-bet, unless he is super deep with Villian.
The idea of betting turn is fine, but he is making it absurdly big for what he is trying to accomplish ($150 into $187). Personally I think $80 or so should be enough to fold out the hands that V has given up with, but that still have a fair bit of outs (Hero can be counterfeited).
And river call seems highly optimistic against someone who called 80% pot on turn and suddenly wakes up on river. While he do unblock the obvious bluff-combos, this is only really relevant if you are facing an opponent who finds these bluffs.
This is an error that I have definitely made many times myself; coming up with reasons for a call, without properly taking into account that when opponent takes this line it's practically never a bluff.
Sorry for the derail, hand histories gets me excited. Now back to discussing El Diesel and Trooper.
