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!
I think its a sad state of affairs if someone who is self proclaimed part of the 1% of poker players and the number 2 vlogger of all time is going to triple his income by dealing.
I'd say he will be earning at least 5x by dealing, given that for the last year or so he's been living off comps and promos. But yes, at least triple his income if you go off his $14/hr historical average that doesn't include 2023 or 2024.
TBC is gonna have to start being more cautious with his money. His roll is down to 35k after a few recent losses.
Suggestions for [White Box Graphic Box For XYZ players] or this layout, format is the way to go for a while?
Other than smaller details like giving it a black frame box perhaps, my editing skills is pretty much this for a while.
Sound I played around as much as possible, sounds okay to me, idk how it sounds to you guys.
Feel free to ignore the poker stuff, just regarding strictly graphics/cosmetics.

Even if he did play 2/5 he would probably make more money dealing.
He's still going to have to play to keep up his comp rate. He'd probably play more 2/3 for the double tier credits. But he would make enough at dealing to live on and would only play for comps. If you thought he was nitty before, imagine if he was only going for net zero.
He will struggle getting in the hours to make diamond while working full time, particularly with the amount he likes to jump around properties.
Surely if he is dealing full time he should be able to afford more stable housing and not be so reliant on comps for rooms/food/drinks etc
Diesel is a huge disappointment to all us 1/2 nl grinders just trying to avoid the man and his total disregard of the rubric
In today's Diesel vlog, it's ASMR time with you getting to hear heaving breathing from the extreme physical exertion that comes from walking.
Had to cut it short today.
ohh I got the first line to tell him.
if he is dealing a 2-5 game and you sit there
"Good to see finally made 2-5 Diesel"
You must have not put any serious commitment into it then because it should be an extremely easy gig to land, especially during wsop.
Also why troll him? He’s doing what he should be doing with his winrate, he will make more then most of these wanna be mtt live pro donks.
Good for him imo this is what trooper and pman should have done a long time ago and drop their egos
I have trouble with my paperwork . I am legal in the USA but can't get a sheriff's card because I can't produce a green card and I can't get a replacement one unless I fix paperwork in the country I was born in. my license doesn't even have my first name. just the letter C. I don't tell this story much but I got kicked out of Seton hall and my merryl lynch internship when I was 18 because my social did not match. that's how I started gambling for a living. By the time I fixed my permanent residency here I was 27/28 and was already gambling for almost 10 years. I am in the process of getting that fixed so hopefully in 2/3 years I'll be able to deal part time possibly.
It will be interesting to see if Rice continues being such a scrooge and a tightwad with his money once he has a decent income dealing poker. I suspect that he absolutely will. Some people just enjoy being miserly, regardless of how much they have.

I really liked your commentary. I don't think most of the Youtube audience really wants in depth or high level strategy though, which is unfortunate because thats what I prefer. They just want big pots and chip porn. Theres some crushers on twitch and youtube who get no views, meanwhile the most viewed channels are shitregs. Just the way it goes I guess. If you find that you dont get views, you may have to dumb down your content, which really is too bad.
Do you still play plo? I remember you from way back in the day, last I heard of you I think you were grinding 6 card plo or something. Hope to see a plo vlog from you in the future.
Any sort of benefits for a dealing gig like this? I’m assuming no health insurance or 401k program but will he get any paid days off, free chocolate milk, etc?
He is a temp dealer so no benefits I would think, but most poker dealers get access to free food in the employee dining room for at least 1 meal per shift plus all the fountain drinks, coffee, etc. they want. I would think The Orleans offers that, but don't know.
I guess we will know when El Diesel talks about the free food he gets with a big grin on his face.

I agree with 5x easily.
Maybe 7-8x what he's made the last 2 years.
While he for some odd reason feels the need to track his play to the exact minute including bathroom breaks he also spends a lot of time casino hopping. When he sees he can probably make 25-30 dollars an hour dealing and pick up a lot of extra hours I doubt he leaves. Well unless of course he's somehow slighted by the entire poker room who won't recognize him as the best at everything in life.
o/u when Diesel gets fired for packing up boxes of food to go from employee dining?

Orleans definitely has food for their employees.Boyd also treats their employees well so it's probably actually good.I'm not even sure he knows this yet. He's going to be in all of his glory making "snow" angels with mashed potatoes on the floor.
Agree with this. He actually scrubbed up quite well apart from the out of control beard! If he can keep his composure and handle difficult costumers well (big if) then he could be pretty decent. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to the situation of consistently getting a much higher hourly and with zero variance.
I guess the Baluchistan pygmy jerboa motel he wore on his chin was not a deterrent.

He hasn't bowed to the Man yet. Let's see how long he lasts.
A couple of bucks in your pocket is a huge motivator for mere mortals.
Maybe a fiscal demigod can resist.
Do casino poker dealers also work floor games if needed?
Free food is one of the most amazing perks. That's the one thing Amazon had going for it, a decent free self serve Indian place.
Well it wasn't technically free, I just never paid. Allegedly. I have zero regrets.
However this could spell doomsday for El D's waistline. I'd speculate +10lbs after first four weeks
