His defensive response to my comment on today's vlog is epic. Basically he left the room the way he found it and he thinks that counts as cleaning because all the furniture he rearranged was back in its rightful place
He also turned the magazine face up because he no longer worried about the woman on the front staring up at him.

In ELDs mind, instead of just vacuuming each room, the hotel staff meticulously scans the carpet floor for debris and then decides to vacuum or not.
Therefore, when the maid sees his pubes, they know to vacuum. This, is truely ****** logic, troll level strong.
what percentage of "pros" who have been playing for 10 years have never had a 5k week?
I would never make fun of an OMC playing as a hobby who plays like Diesel. But as a "pro" the way he plays is comical.
Also the hair on the floor stuff is repulsive.
ROFL, bet he frames that.
He's a college graduate, right? I knew that word in jr. high.
Who cares, why is all low stakes players a useful denominator? It doesn’t matter how many people he is ahead of if he still doesn’t make enough to continue to earn a living.
The more I read this forum, the gladder I am that I don't watch Diesel's videos.
Dude is so disrespectful! Housekeeping in hotels has to be soul draining. So he doesn’t tip them and rewards them with a pile of pube hair to clean up. Why not top that off and just punch the maid in the face. Christ!
Jealous are you?

Are you illiterate?
Nope. Just have people like you who think they can dictate how much a person needs to make to live. He is clearly making enough ... Just not enough for you.

Rice does not make nearly enough from playing poker to support himself.
He hasn't since 2021.
And even that is questionable.
Diesel messed up leaving Vegas. Maybe Pman can scooter over and grind picketing.
HG Podcaster advises to buy the $3 / month Panera unlimited drink cup.
This would allow nomadics and others between check in times the ability to camp out in Panera to charge devices and use wifi and get free drinks.
I’m still leaning illiterate as this has nothing to do with what I wrote.
I’ll bite either way and argue Rice clearly isn’t making enough… “Vegaspokernomad” got a temp dealing job and then quit Vegas because he wasn’t making enough playing poker. It was obvious at least two years ago that he wasn’t going to make it as a poker player. He was barely squeaking by and didn’t understand increasing rake and his opponents’ skill level would cut his hourly as inflation chipped away at the purchasing power of that already small earnings. Instead of getting better and moving up in stakes he just pulled from the “play more hours” and “cut expenses” wells until those ran dry.
Maybe the issue is you are a piss poor writer and communicator?

The current theory on ELD is not that he is playing poker to earn money. He has the part time dealer job to earn money. Rather, ELD is playing poker to earn tier in order to get resort fees waived and buffet meats and also to provide parking garage content to post on youtube which combined earnings of dealing and youtube must be less than $37,000 per year in order to get the NY health insurance. Thus, ELD cannot raise his stakes or get better since he will loose health insurance and then has to factor in the costs of buying his own health insurance which for a cigar smoker with heavy wheezing is going to be alot of money per month.
According to a NY website it is about $1000 in permium per month per individual health insurance plan:
https://www.dfs.ny.gov/consumers/small_b...
Thus, ELD can either earn $37,000 per year or jump up to $49,000 per year in order to get no incremental value since then he would need to pay his own health insurance. There is a dead zone of earnings from $37,001 to $48,999 which ELD would be in before he realized any financial benefit for incremental hours worked as a temporary dealer.
ELD has optimized his finances by living on rice and pocket bread and slurry and staying in resort waived rooms. Now that ELD has solved the Diamond plus drink crisis by sourcing the 1/2 gallon milk at Target for $2 he is nutritionally covered for calcium intake.
Dude. You and ELD are the same person, except ELD didn't lend 80K to a prostitute that never paid it back (supposedly). Instead, ELD invested in dividend stocks.
But everything thing else including your love for WAWA is dead on. So you bagging on ELD is comical. You are living in AirBnBs. Taking dealing jobs where you can get them as you nomad your way around the country.
You said it yourself that you were just trying to get by until you could start living off of Social Security. I don't disparage you for trying to make it as a poker pro. Didn't work out and you're doing your best to get by. But again, YOU, bagging on anyone for the way they choose to live their life is beyond comical.
This is your 10,000th post from 4/29/2015 lest you have forgotten.
So much misinformation in your post. The $80K went to a dealer not a prostitute.
I don't nomad around taking jobs. I worked for one company for a little less than two years. Until they had to close the location I was at. I was offered a chance to go back to the first location. I didn't. I worked one job for about a year after that in a different city. Then they hired some new dealers. I was let go. I moved to a new job over the summer and have been there since.
I have had regular residences most of the past four years. I am occasionally in an Airbnb when I change cities until I find a place.
Every job since Covid has been in Texas.
Ironically I am moving out of where I am next week to become a bit of a nomad/poker player. And I will be staying in AirBNBs.
Gonna hit a few spots in Texas to play and see friends until I get on a train and head home to see my family.
As for Rice, I have defended his lifestyle over the past couple days. Like myself how Rice chooses to live and how much money that requires is up to him. If he makes $500 a week and he can survive, good for him.
I'm only gonna do it for a month or so.
Maybe longer if it goes really well and I enjoy it again.
I own every mistake I have ever made in my life. And I have made my share.
But life is the choices we make. And I literally don't give a **** what you think of my mistakes. I'm 62. I gave up worrying about what people think of me 10 years ago.
Good luck to you.

She must have been one hell of a dealer.
Does anyone seriously believe that bobw ever had 80k to give out lmao.
We all know that 80k figure is the same as bikeking claiming to have lost all his money to a bank account hack.
Bobw is a guy that criticizes Diesel incessesantly but also was begging Diesel for money because he was broke.
Bobw is essentially a 60 year old fat version of Diesel/Bikeking/Pman if everything went wrong and they had no parental support.
He definitely has no right to criticize anything these vloggers have done because he's by far the worst out of all of them.
A nomad reports $86 per entire year parking lot dwelling at the Quechan Indian Casino in Yuma (good for Winter):
Only dealer who could give me a hand job when I was in the 9 seat and still pitch perfectly
