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 negativ

A new update March 2019:
NO ****ING POLITICS!
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.
Just curious what percentage of $1/2 and $1/3 players do you think have made $5k in a week? .1 percent?

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.
Think Blue is back on his porch and reports breaking his diet with Jack in the Box holiday donut holes and putting hash browns on his breakfast sandwich.
Assumming as it is widely held that he is getting free rent then he is set to build his bankroll.
In other news a Nomad in Canada reports picking up
ROFL, bet he frames that.

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!
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.
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.

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.
I prefer to argue with Internet smart asses until they block me.

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.
I wish I could say this is going to be something enlightening, something that will be pinned and favorited and read over and over and over again.
I've known for more than a month that I've been approaching this milestone post. I've constantly tried to think of something interesting to say in this po

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.
Confirmed.
Not really sure where to start so I will start at the end.
Yes, I am busto. Literally. Figuratively. And everything in between. I have some loose change. I have $7 left on a Visa gift card. I have about $100 coming in the mail in the next few days. I will probably take that and hit up Suga
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.
