ELD references the Harvard President when deciding disputes among poker players:

I generally hate to dig too hard at Lexi Gavin Mather because I generally find her WSOP vlogs the most entertaining of the summer (in the absence of RDP) and she and Bob seem like very nice people, but I can’t imagine she’s a long-term winning tournament player with $700k lifetime, given how much she plays. I suppose, though, that actually being a winning player is not a prereq

I would be very surprised if she is profiting on poker alone yes, even if she is surely a winner in the obscure small cash games they often play in California outside of WSOP-season. But unless there are things she is not showing on the vlog, it doesn't seem like she is out there grinding hard 5 days a week most of the year.

But with her YouTube revenue and subscriptions to her coaching side, I assume she is able to turn a decent profit. And her teachings are probably good for someone who is a bit more novice in poker but eager to learn new concepts.

In addition, I assume Bob is completely loaded from previous business ventures, and thus she can afford to run an operation that might not be super profitable.

If someone can make good money off of vlogging even if they lose at poker good for them. If they can get into juicy private games they crush bc of vlogs despite not being great at poker good for them. But the fact she offers coaching is a disgrace and completely unethical. She's knowingly ripping off her customers. It's not surprising she was adamant the 7 was part of that 4 card flop instead of calling the floor like she knows she should have. Absolutely zero integrity.

Yeah, once that 7 hit the board, all ethics went out the window.

Would have loved to have known her reaction if it was a 10 instead....


ELD reports in his short that Walgreens by Harrah's and White Castle are no longer open 24 hours.


Rice needs a good talking to from management at Ph and instructions on what a dealer should be doing.

To say I don't care about a players happiness is completely the opposite of what a dealers responsibility is. You are in customer service pal. You don't have a game to deal if you piss off the table.

No one tells Rice what to do. He is doing PH a favor by dealing for them.

I've had one interaction with Bob Mather and he was a completely rude douchebag (to the dealer, and generally unpleasant at the table)

ELD didn't land a PH job, PH landed ELD.


Not a Vegas poker expert by any means but Ive played PLO bomb pots at NLH tables at several casinos with zero issues. Is Rice just enforcing his own personal rubric to be obtuse or would he actually get in trouble at PH for dealing a PLO bomb pot at a NLH table?

He would say "Blah blah blah rubric blah blah".

Does he really think his overuse of the word rubric makes him superior to everyone?

What a dolt.

He likes using words that he thinks make him sound intelligent. Penultimate seems to be his favourite at the moment. A few months back it was "criterion" and he even used it several times incorrectly just to use it.

Of course anyone that would dare point that out to him would be classed as a miserable hater. I've been missing the Mean, Stupid, Wrong comments videos from Rice. Surely we must be due for another installment soon!

Generally speaking people who try and force in words like this over and over again are morons trying to sound smart. Rice fits the bill.


I mean that's what Ali Nejad does the entire broadcast, he is a smart guy, but he tries to act so smart with his words.


Matt Berkey: “hold my beer”


ELD has four videos with "penultimate" in either the title or description.

The penultimate poker comp challenge food video included ELD having a fellow player deliver free chicken to ELD.

The next day after free chicken ELD can have enough for a bagel at breakfast.

First off I think I made a post last week that I dont remember about Boski. Hopefully nothing i said was taken to heart, assuming it was harsh. Boski was and still is my favorite poker vlogger but, oh wait I'm not going there again. On the plus side boski has done better than god herself (according to her) Cherish Andrews. She decided to "step it up" and play $25k's this WSOP and i guess what do you call it when it rolls around oh yeah fate. Who in the hell knows how much she's down probably approaching 7 figures. So at least boski hasnt gone that route and just totally decimated his bankroll.


I forgot to mention or rather question if anyone is tired of Rice discovering paychecks and putting what he earns online. Imagine making a video every time you get a paycheck and putting it online. Sure people would watch it. But does that mean anything? Has anyone figured out where he is on the spectrum? Not being rude I'm just wondering.


he clearly has no idea what penultimate means and just thinks it's a level above the common but incorrect usage of "ultimate"


Someone isn't a fan of Rice's dealing

You mean you aren't fascinated and riveted to the long rambling monologs dissecting hourly pay 29 ways to Sunday?

Not to mention, what has to amount to several hours of babble by now, on the subject of how overtime pay is calculated. Sometimes there are even graphics and spreadsheets!

(It is number of overtime hours times 1.5 the hourly rate, for those still confused)

Agreed, absolute snoozefest in his recent videos since he started dealing full time. Fat Zach really needs to change his channel name to “Vegas Poker Dealer” now too as his dealing hours will surely exceed his hours playing this year.

You can tell he’s just going thru the motions in everything he does in his life. His minimal effort in dealing and making videos to keep his completely meaningless (but very important to him) streak alive. He’s also clearly sleep deprived indicated by him dazed low battery mode function in his speech and movements. And Fat Zach is clearly packing on more weight due to his unhealthy lifestyle combined with unlimited EDR dining.


ELD states he will speak about his Nomadic living plans in a future video. Today ELD states he will cease Orleans employment after the series and retain employment at PH.

ELD speculates that if PH stops its poker room he will try to work at Bally's some call Horseshoe and ELD will have good work history and a CET employee number which can be used in other casinos around the Nomadic route.
