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!
According to his narrative he already earns more than he needs, even though that equates to well under 20k per year. That said he still has to do weekly "challenges" where he either starves himself or sleeps in his car just to get by, but that's apparently is all by his own choosing.
Rice releases a video about his 2023 poker income where he actually manages to avoid mentioning what his poker income was. He then sums it up at the end by telling us 'there you go, poker income for 2023 told to you'
From the percentage figures he is giving I think his poker winnings may only have been 6 or 7k.
Not true.
Everyone expected a dollar metric but Rice is much too smart for that.
Like a prisoner's wealth measured in cigarettes he used homeless clown as his benchmark.
Free meals from mom and Herb are not counted and "other income " is probably birthday cash.
Like the poor bastard living on $200,000 he covered his expenses.
Therefore a successful year.
I'm assuming he's probably counting unrealized equity gains in his stocks as "income" to try and make it seem like he had real income.
it just boggles my mind how someone can spend dozens of hours a week slogging through nitty games to profit what, $30 a day, then count $20 in comps for overpriced food court food as profit, and then the goal be to get in a weekly promo tourney for a chance to win $200-300, never have a dependable place to take a shower or lay down, refuse to walk anywhere for a better experience that the monorail doesn't directly service, and honestly think you are winning at life
and even more boggling are the dozens of droolers that look up that as something admirable
The levels of cope in Diesel's results video are off the charts.
His expenses are like $1.2k/month, maybe $15k for the year, and he made half of that from poker and half from "other income".
I'm guessing somewhere around $7k from poker, $3-4k from YouTube revenue, $3-4k from dividends/unrealized gains on an $80k portfolio or whatever he has that he is also counting as income.
That's a huge yikes. Inflation keeps increasing, rake is going up, poker is getting tougher, and Diesel is completely unwilling to face reality.

His other income was vague but seemed like something other than portfolio income. He said he was able to make money from something else when the situation arised. YouTube income is probably around 100 a month. But yikes only around 7 to 10 K from poker. The end is near.

That’s a lot better than some of the other vloggers who are probably closer to minus $7k in the last decade. A lot better than how Rampage is doing recently too lol.
Hey all:
For all the Rice haters on here....
HE IS CRUSHING IT!
He gets to play poker for a living. He gets to roam around randomly across the country. He gets on the interwebs and even has a YouTube channel.
He eats food every day. HE EVEN OWNS SEVERAL PIECES OF FRUIT! he OWNS them. He can eat them, sell them, let them rot, do whatever he wants. He freaking OWNS it.
Has Rice passed a bar exam anywhere? Do you think ANY law firm/prosecutors office would hire him?
Could he even get a "regular" 9-5 job? If he did, would he be able to hold it down for more than a week?
Is what he is doing better than a minimum wage job? It is a close call, but I would argue it is.
Rice is simply doing the VERY best that he can. He is not a criminal, he is not on welfare/handouts. He is staying out of trouble. He IS consistently making money at poker, which is better than what most people can do. Judge him by what he is capable of, NOT what you, or others, are capable of.
Is he living the optimal life? Not even close, but he is DOING THE BEST HE CAN. So I applaud him for that.
i checked and current inventory is 5 bananas, how am I doing?

To be fair, he did say all income sources did cover his nut.

He has to put divvies on his tax return, so it's fair for him to count that in his income. He reinvests those though, so probably not part of the "covering expenses". If your expense number is right, he prob made 10-12k from poker.

Not really. Anyone that can graduate with a bachelors and a JD can do a lot better. He just doesn't want to.
This video is so good, most people would say “I made xx amount of money from poker” when people give some long winded thing, it means something because to make a video that is about your 2023 poker income and not at any point say what your 2023 income is and then pretend you told people what your poker income was, is all time stuff from our hero.
People really will go to great lengths to protect their ego.
However they may avail themselves of his services to pick up late night pizza orders. Rice is only too happy to be the uber eats delivery boy as long as he is still punched in for comps/promos and as long as he gets a few free slices as commission.
This reminds me a week or so ago I ordered a pizza in the Wynn poker room. A random beggar I had never seen in my life came over and asked me for a slice. Obviously I told him to pound sand but the audacity was pretty amazing.
Is Rice going to deal during the WSOP?
I am trying to decide if I should play in the WSOP.
I want to post a first-person interaction.
