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.

Wow, even the rest of Feather's comments are spot on. He absolutely nailed it as far as why Caesars removed the four free drinks benefits.

Whenever I went to Caesars Palace to get my drinks, the one lady restocking the drinks in the food court could barely keep up. Whenever I was at Paris Cafe Madeline, same thing. They always ran out of large Fijis and the lines had a few Horseshoe players and others picking up free drinks.

Although losing the drink benefits suck, Caesars made the right decisi

Yeah, the only distinction I would make is that it's specifically for low/mid stakes poker players that this prevailing attitude exists (and rightly so)

For higher stakes players they seem to still enjoy some clout at least in casinos that have regular high stakes cash games and tournaments. There are several well know pros that play PLO at my local casino and they all have diamond status which is the top card. The poker room manager has discretion to give status to a limited number of high stakes regulars, but 1/2, 2/3 and 2/5 grinders need not apply.


No sympathy.

The last time I played poker at CP, I asked for a Fuji.

I was told that was not one of the freebies, so I had a Macallan.


The latest Diesel video looks like his same old troll looking self. Did he use AI or a filter in his last video. Sure seems like it. He's getting stranger by the day


by DrDownLow k

Poker players that achieve diamond plus status are either profit players or degenerates. No real reason to incentivize these players...they will play regardless. Diesel thinks this move will hurt their bottom line. Don't quote me but I'm fairly sure the bean counters have run the numbahs.

he may be right, he may be wrong but most of these bean counters in casinos are complete and utter clowns who don't know what the hell they're doing. some of the decisions they make are astounding. A moron in a suit is still a moron.

I totally understand them wanting to get rid of deadbeat customers but the way they're going about it is really bad and it's not the first thing they've done like this. When you promise something for hitting a certain level and then take it away it rightfully pisses people off even people who might not care much about that particular thing. They wanna dangle a tier status upgrade in front of people, many of them good customers but if those customers know the offer is hallow they lose the incentive of chasing it.


by TheAdvantagePlayer k

Sometimes the floor is like, you haven't checked in for the last XYZ time, want me to put you in, it's free anyways.
Now I feel obligied to tip cus they went out of their way. The tip > comp rb.

On another note, Graton Casino trespassed me from their property when I had like $400-600 in food comps from BJ. I think that bothered me more than the ban.
So i get an idea where these people are coming from.

good rule of thumb if you're card counting- don't leave comp dollars/ free play in your account. it can get nuked at any time.
if you were eating good every day you were there anyway on their dime and just had it left over it's annoying but whatever. if a place lets you convert it to money you're better off doing that.

His rating is probably wrecked for life. He could have continued milking the cow forever but he chose to get too cute with all his voucher drinks hacks. That's the problem with guys like Rice, they always think they are way smarter than they actually are and they invariably underestimate everyone else around them.

they're actually a lot like the bean counters. they never think long term. in poker they can't give up an ounce of ev to make a whale happy and they do all kinds of things to piss them off. in life when something is good they have to sheer the sheep. he's in vegas all the time and couldn't give them an ounce of pit action to hopefully get rooms and keep the charade going when he's gonna get drinks 300 days a year. to top it off he even made videos about it letting other people know how to screw Caesars. not that he has a huge following but there is no upside to basically saying "hey if you're a piece of **** customer like me here is how you can milk caesars."


by iwasbanned k

Yup, you can't get a small cold milk to cook with, a cold Gatorade at 2 in the morning.
I'm sure Rice would take breaks from the poker table and go get a free beverage as part of the break.
No more ice cream shakes.
Rice is gonna miss this four free beverages way more than he thinks.

Judging from his last video he knows how he's going to miss them. He was this close to crying.

This could lead to an outbreak of calcium defficiency and osteoporosis.


I love WinCo, had no idea they were in Vegas now. If you haven't been you're missing out, looks like it's about 20 minutes from the strip.

They have really good supermarket fried chicken/potato wedges, and the bulk foods section is great. Great prices!

However, mixing tomato chunks and rice, nothing else, no meat no seasoning, in the day 2 poker challenge blog, I have no words

At the Paris place they have a big stock of Fijis that are just on a shelf near the register. Not even in the cooler. I always take the warm ones since I'm going to put them in the room refrigerator anyway.


by Turdzilla k

Does Rice consume adult beverages?

I'm sure he drank some beers in a previous video but only because he'd lost a bet. He then declared in typically arrogant fashion that no one can enjoy the taste of them and people must just pretend to like them. (I'm going by memory here)

Yeah that was his "penalty" for losing a challenge against Herbs n Rye. Conversely, if he won the challenge, Herbs n Rye would have owed Rice a meal at a steakhouse lol

I've learned this lesson the hard way and for some reason it really stings. It's like someone gives you something and then takes it back, it hurts way more than if they never gave it in the first place.

I haven't played BJ seriously since COVID after really getting back into it in 2018 and I definitely did some dumb things in those 2 years. Live and learn.

Another tip don't play BJ In high limit during a snowstorm in an empty casino after your poker game breaks. Woops.


I love Judge Judy to...



In today's video Rice explains why he loves playing at the Westgate.

The tables are social, he prefers that its 9 handed and the promo money payout is guaranteed! Of course he loves 9 handed tables because it costs him less money to just sit there and fold all night long. Of course he loves that the promo money is guaranteed because that is literally the only way he has of making any profit from the game. He can sit there and contribute as little rake as humanly possible and then collect on the promo fund that everyone else has generated.

And just lol at some of the comments in Rices videos. He really is even more of a bufoon than any of us could possibly imagine.








Yeah the waitresses are all "mad" but I'm sure they avoid going anywhere near Rice for good reason.

Earning Diamond Plus was a status symbol for Rice. It's good to see him admit it at least. Confirms what I said before about him having his ego and self worth attached to his voucher drinks.

Someone suggests he could put $5 in a VP machine in order to get a "free drink" and of course he believes he can do better by not putting anything in at all and still getting the drink. I think this illustrates the quality I find most repulsive in him. It's his opportunistic free loading mindset of wanting to extract every little drop of EV out of everything he possibly can.

Its like if someone were to offer him something to eat he will literally jump at it and also fill up all his pockets with more food for later on. He thinks he's outsmarting everyone around him but really he's just embarrassing himself and showing what a desperate bum he is.


Diesel is really on edge since losing the voucher drinks.

Never seen him so bothered and frustrated, seems like it's causing him to be tilted in poker too.

For a guy that said he doesn't care he sure does talk about it alot!

I can’t comment on just tomato chunks over rice but whenever my household makes chili (ground turkey, beans, chili seasoning, peppers, sometimes spinach, etc), we always throw it over some rice. It’s amazing.

Was hilarious seeing his frustration at not getting any of the "whale's" money because of a third player getting in the way.

Thanks for posting these hilarious screenshots from the comment section, golden stuff. Totally agreed that he is a bigger buffon that we could imagine, to me he is the biggest clown ive ever encountered in my life-unbeliveable. He lost his shyt even more after the free drinks was taken away from him.

Guys like Diesel have a massive tunnel vision when it comes to max drain every drop of possible EV from everywhere he can. It can quickly backfire in several ways though, wich is something they never think of. First example that comes to mind is the classic scenario where a massive whale sits down at the table ready to pump alot of money into the game, only to leave shortly after because miserable EV hunting regs seat hops him or refusing to straddle even when the whale asks politely. Great job guys.

Also lol at how he says you can only get 1 drink pr two hours from the waitresses in the pokerrooms. If it takes too long, i just throw her 5 bucks or even 10 bucks then asks her if its possible to keep the drinks coming regurarly. But of course, then Diesel coudnt sleep at night if he spent 5 dollars that he didnt absolutely have to spent to survive.


You’re right Angle he’s so nitty and while a lot of it is his scarcity mindset from living off of so little for many years, I now think the voucher drinks were more important not for their monetary value but because it gave Diesel something to do every day and a reason to get out of bed.

So many videos he references that he is either going to get voucher drinks or coming from getting drinks, the saga with the milkshakes, detailing which casinos had the best selection of drinks really shows he has nothing better to do than walking around for hours looking for drinks. There’s only so much KOQ to watch and immaculate grids to fill out, he liked voucher drinks as a nice little time suck that gave him free stuff, with the savings and lol “status” as added bonuses.


by TheAdvantagePlayer k

Lucky Chances in bay area gave .50c or $1/hr comp. Considering the rake and BBJ drop, it's laughable. You paid hundreds in rake in a single day, and max you can afford is 6 ling ling potstickers.

Ya'll are getting any comps? Let me cry as a Casino M8trix player, who has to bribe the floor just for a chance to get a seat at a table lol.

I have several Paris buffet comps. There is no more Paris buffet.

I also have a number of Reno Air first class upgrades that I paid cash money for.

Surprised he doesn't wear his Diamond Plus card around his neck on a chain.

I'd be shocked if they gave you a drink at Bellagio for putting 5 bucks into a vp machine.
