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.

Can Diesel even consider himself a professional poker player since he can't beat poker for enough money to cover his expenses? I guess he can lower his expenses to almost nothing to retain that title.

On a related note, why is it the most delusional people that want to be known publicly as a professional poker player? I don't ever recall Brad Owen or Andrew Neeme or Mariano bragging about being a pro. They just crush and document their journey.

Rice seems perfectly content to barely break even from poker. He will happily play 50 hours a week for zero profit, all the while thinking to himself what a genius he is for being in the top 1% of everything he does.

As long as he can eat for free at the Laurel Lounge he still figures he is coming out ahead. Add to that anything he can get from his comps etc, discounted weekly room rates and waived resort fees make him one very happy camper. The fact that he has been able to parlay his nomadic existence into YouTube income is the cherry on top.

Above all else, it's of paramount importance that Rice feels like he is his own boss and doing everything on his own terms. Pretending to be a poker pro is the perfect vehicle for that. The fact that none of his income is actually derived from playing poker anymore will not dampen his arrogance one bit.


Rices tactic of daily meandering word salad videos is really dragging; today's entry was brutal.

In the comments he says he's never seen a game where straddling increases the action, yet he also loves to get in pots when there is one. With QQ+ of course, but it's irritating when that exact scenario doesn't play out.

STICK TO THE FOOD VIDEOS YOU BUFFOON

When he said he would call $125 blind shove with K high ... I spit my soda all over the room. Rice is waiting for a better spot.

The best airport parking is in Flagstaff, Arizona. The Flagstaff airport allows weekly parking for $36 but it used to be free and has a cheap connecting segment to Phoenix airport which has connections to anywhere.

The only thing I remember about the Flagstaff airport is that it was so small that it didn't have a tower. When you were ready to take off, you just announced it on the radio and hoped that if someone was landing they heard you.

I imagine it has a tower now.

His constant need to barf up wordsalads in basically every video is making me not watching alot of his videos, or i move fast forward.

Him talking about the straddle in todays video was hilarious though. According to the top 1 percent live 1/3 player Nomad people that straddles is either 1)Playing alot higher or 2) is on massive tilt. Lol,come on dude you are so clueless.

Also LOL at his take that straddles doesent generate more action and bigger pots, Nomad claims that if people arent limping 3 they arent limping 6 or even 15.

While that's true, he conveniently forgot the mention the flip side of that. People who would limp for 3 are likely to call for 15 or even raise now cause of the extra dead money. Shhhhhhh, don't tell Diesel. His enlarged head might explode.

It really is amazing how Diesel applies what he thinks or does to what everyone else does without realizing that he sees things from being a massive nit.

I know he's played at Planet Hollywood before when they did a variable splash pot every half hour I think. Trust me, when it was a $100 splash pot, people were shoving $300 stacks with any decent hand.


by RidePolaris k

Are you hopeful Nomad follows this thread so all of your time spent in here has been worth it? We all know everyone's end goal is to eventually get another poker player to stop playing, much like Trooper. Keep hammering away and maybe you'll score another kill.

I cannot think of a greater blessing than getting a losing player to quit and find a more fulfilling activity.

Are you inferring Troop's confectionary empire was a step down?

Imagine the tilt if you pick up a good hand in splash pot and Diesel wakes up with AA. Disgusting.

Imagine having the audacity to raise him when he has AA with a royal flush or better

It's like an empty seat. Do you want more OMCs at your table? Trooper would at least punt $1200 once a month in a session

An empty seat is preferable to the rock that is El D. At least if the seat is empty there's a CHANCE that someone will sit down and donate.


The Florida Van Nomad reports on the Hard Rock Florida Guitar Hotel which is basically a preview of what will replace the Mirage. He remenisces about living in a Yurt in the Florida swampland then finding a Hut in a grassland in Florida, then getting a Minivan then getting Hard Rock Icon tier and comped Guitar Hotel rooms. He seeks out a host but feels insecure being not a true high roller and instead just recycles his freeplay winings for tier points. Then he gets an email for a comped Hurricane Room and extra nights with waived resort fees. He reports he will seek out the brand of comforter and pillows to add to his Van bed to make a replica of the Hard Rock bed.

He gets Publix rotisserie chicken and ads this to rice from his Van rice cooker which does not need to be hauled into the room since the rice can be premade in the special Icon tier reserved parking level. Plus the passenger seat has been upgraded to a latrine. He further states that all the high end vehicles and pricey sports cars in the Icon reserved parking level contrast with his superior 20 year old Toyota Sienna Van which has cooking and toilet facilities.


Diesel's breathing whilst filming in the castle screams peak health. Do you think he snores?

Almost definitely. It was hard to listen to. I'm fat and out of shape and have asthma ... And snore.

In better news, today we learned he is going to play in Dallas. I actually can't wait to hear his reviews. I have a feeling he will hate it, find a bad game and say how dumb some of us who think Texas poker is great are.

Dallas is the wrong place to try Texas poker. If he is smart he goes to the Fort just west of Fort Worth or TCH Social.

Diesel loves college campuses. He needs to go back and get his PhD and teach. He can then avoid the real world till he drops. More importantly he can control the rubric.

Solid content, Nomad is breathing heavy as he was running a marathon. He almost sounds like those old smokers who sounds like they cant get enough air/having trouble breathing normally, cant remember what its called right now. Those who got it severly have to carry extra oxygen bottle with them on their back.


diesel was working out right before he filmed that video!

Upgrading your passenger seat to a latrine is TIGHT!

He has a JD already. With his wacky environmental thing with saving plastic bags, he should be a college teacher. He can make a living of spouting his opinions.

The drivers seat would be better. Don't even have to pull over to take a dump.

Yesterday I played at a game with like 6 empty seats. There were only 2 tables to choose from. Moral of the story: most 1-3 players are empty seaters.

Many erroneous/conflicting tidbits in there..

Is a small winning player a "losing" player? Mathematically speaking, isn't that proclamation easily proven false?

Your sarcastic dramatization of Trooper's candy business as a "confectionery empire" conflicts with your implication that it's a big step up from poker. It's not just what you say but how you say it. Do you think the Troopers are capable of pulling in $100,000+ in annual revenue from their business as they scale up? If we want to get into profit from a nice round number of $100,000 in sales, I'm not sure exactly what that would amount to, but my guess is in the range of $55,000 to $65,000 after ingredients and capital costs, where the capital costs are spread out over the life of the machinery.

Sure but they're playing as a hobby. They're not delusional calling themselves poker pros while they live in poverty.

A small winning player is winning if its a hobby.

They're losing big time at life if they're a "pro". They're small wins are actually costing them money. If they were losing they'd see the writing on the wall a lot earlier and find better ways to make money.

Let me get this right Pole Rider.

Mathematically speaking, Mr. Newton?

Traveling to play poker has costs. He clearly doesn't make enough to cover the cost of his table time "profits." Much of which appears to be from promos and free rolls, equivalent to my great-grandmother clipping coupons.

I wonder if that's why he chose to deal instead of playing during the juiciest period on the calendar. Without YT revenue, he would be splitting a can of beans with you.

All of a sudden, you are an expert in financial analysis in the confectionery industry.

He should have started by expanding his retail opportunities. Having a bigger, much more expensive room to shlep his sugar bombs around Vegas in 100 degrees looks like a step backward.

The probabilities of RP putting an intelligent thought ITT and El D becoming a LAG are identical.
