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!
Happy 4th of July from the Cradle of Liberty.
The challenge was to turn $120 into $1,000 (i.e., win $880) in 3 months playing 10NL online. James put up $500 to win $5,000. That's right. The person making this bet with James gave him 10-1 odds.
....
In the first month he was up a few hundred dollars. Then the downswing began. Maybe it was variance, maybe there was some tilt, maybe his fundamentals were flawed. Maybe the competition was just better than him.
It was a sucker's bet.
The rake at 10NL can't be beat, not that I've looked at a rake chart since Black Friday, but tell me I'm wrong. There have been many 25NL challenges over the years that ended in failure, from people who are otherwise successful poker players, and 10NL is worse than that. The main guy selling the idea that you could "spin a roll up" from the micro-low limits was a guy who called himself "Jesus" and who co-owned a poker-site, and as it turned out, a shady poker-site at that.
I think we can agree that just because you act nice doesn't mean you are nice. There are all these
going around, after all.
Nevertheless, I've bought shares of a player before. I should have bought more, it ended up being a good ROI. It's like betting on sports, or buying a stock. Do you realize what the markup is on a lottery ticket? 😮
All that said, just putting yourself on YouTube or Twitter doesn't make you a good poker player. Nor does posting on 2+2. I've played with very good players who've never ever heard of this place. It's what happens over the felt that matters. I won't be buying pieces of any of these people, lol. 
I applaud pman for permanently leaving. Hope he keeps up with the vlogging, as he seems to like doing it. But until he actually either spends significant time learning or just significant time playing, he will be viewed as a joke, even if he somehow binks another good cash. I hope he stays away. But I'm not holding my breath
I thought Pman wasn't playing the main this year???
My bad: I should have did a better job of separating those two different subjects.
Christina (Lady Trooper) is thinking of selling her SUV to buy a Van for the SPRKLi candy business.
Christina (Lady Trooper) has nothing to do with Uber or Lyft.
I was using Uber and Lyft drivers as an analogy of people who knock themselves out, to not work for 'the man' when they are in fact slaves to the Uber/Lyft Corporation 'man'.
Who will get custody of the van when they break up?
Tropper is likely playing the long game to become a nomad in the future repleate with a Trooper-van.
From Pman stream last night at the end. 2:45:25 mark, when his JJ's get beat.

Was a pretty pathetic reaction especially when he was in terrible shape in the tournament with 10bb and ranked 215/230
Pchild is not cut out for poker
A couple of break even days in a row and PMan will soon get bored of that 1k-100k challenge. Itll be over in 2 weeks
But if Pman won that all in, he’d be halfway to getting even at poker!! Geezus have a drink Pman and lighten up.
I also don't understand grinding online when you live in Vegas.
why play with anonymous European crushers when you can see your opponents, target fish and get free drinks?

I also don't get why some "pros" are tied into a specific location. OF COURSE, there is a TON of action in Vegas.
If you are truly going to be a pro, why not get a van/suv and outfit it for traveling? Something that you could easily spend a night or two in if you are on the road OR rooms are expensive? You can also get a membership at one of the national gyms and use that to take showers.
Of course, most of the time you stay in discounted rooms.
If you are a poker pro, you could also learn to play other games. Perhaps learn some of the high payback video poker games. Learn basic strategy at BlackJack. Maybe even learn a basic/simple counting system? Of course, these other things are simply to get points on the player's card and promotions. No serious time/money is spent on these games. Live poker is 95%+ of your time & effort.
Have your base of operations in Vegas, but travel to Southern CA. Maybe go into the Midwest 4-5 times a year? Go to the East Coast a couple of times a year? Florida, Texas? You travel to where there is action and games are soft.
You have to look at this like an actual business.
Hey all:
I am shocked, simply SHOCKED at some DIESEL'S videos about dealing!
He seems relatively well groomed! He DOES NOT look like a hobo.
What is even more shocking is that he sometimes makes WELL over $300 in a work day! In one video, he worked about 10 hours, and made about $370. I think he also got a free meal and some snacks?
That is about $37/hour. That is almost certainly MORE than what he would make as an attorney. Most document review projects pay about $25 or $26 an hour. Document review also has very few benefits. You don't get any meals or snacks.
Assuming that $37/hour is not some outlier, if I were Diesel, I would very seriously consider making that my full time gig. Of course, take a day or two a week and play some 1/2....heck, at $37/hour, he could afford to step up to 2/5.
I certainly get not "working for the man"....doing your own thing is great. HOWEVER, when you are making $5-6-7 an hour playing 1/2 OR you can make $37/hour dealing? I don't think there is any question or discussion of what you should be doing.
I hope Diesel realizes this and keeps a good thing going.

If I was young didn't have much money and was trying to make it as a poker pro I wouldn't even go to Vegas at all unless it was for tournaments.
There are simply better games all over the country. Id put in a ton of hours and try to move up as quickly as possible. 1/2 nl just gets eaten up by living expenses (if daddy doesn't buy you a condo)
Getting a hold of money early on pays huge dividends later if you're actually good at poker and treat it like a business.

wsop is extremely soft, much softer than any major site like bovada or acr. The whole point of playing on wsop, is you are ringfenced to having to be in nevada or michigan or new jersey, so it keeps them away basically.
so Lexi Gavin plays a landmark satellite without realizing it's one until levels in and gets a seat. professional as hell.
I'm not. He's still the same smug arrogant know it all. Love how after 2 weeks of dealing he is the foremost authority and automatically assumes he's the best dealer in the world. Also he never figures that if he keeps being told the same thing by multiple players that maybe he's the one that's in the wrong. Perfect example is his insistence on raking in antes while holding the deck in his hand rather than doing what every other dealer does and just cutting the deck after raking in the antes.
Does the application to become a dealer have an education section?
Who would hire a lawyer to be a dealer?

Yep I love how he says in that video that even though his raking of the antes while holding the deck may not be the most efficient way, he probably does “20 other things” more efficiently than the other dealer.
Most poker streamers give good insight into their thought processes cause they are winning poker players.
But when you are a losing poker player, you see this...
That backer Pman lost before the start of the WSOP this year must be ecstatic to have saved his money.

I can't believe this thread still exists! Party on, dudes!
