Diesel probably still wouldn't rent a dump like this bc they want some sort of deposit but this is $100 a week for a flophouse with shared bathroom .

Rice's place must be cheaper than even this to have no bathroom available.

I did find a listing on that site that was higher and had no kitchen access but did have bathroom access.

Maybe he does have a bathroom but it's cleaner and move convenient to use the gym facilities?

There are some places that seem better than what He has for like 500-700 a month so he must be paying like $300 or something ridiculous like that.

What would be your guess on what Rice is paying if this place is $100 a week and decent looking?

Any form of security deposit automatically disqualifies the dwelling from being acceptable in ELD World. Even if it's a palace compared to where he is currently at for the same rent. His Nomadic rubric is very clear on these matters.

I have no idea, except it is almost certainly more.

A typical decent single room occupancy (SRO) place, for short term, runs about $700 month minimum in Las Vegas. There are quite a few along Paradise, East Fremont or heading south down on Las Vegas Boulevard South, and probably conveniently linked by public transportation to his employment location.

I doubt ElD could co-exist with roommates, to be honest. So an SRO seems his best option .... although he may already be in one.

Enough however, this no longer "amuses" me and I don't know if ElD is even a ".poker player" or is he just some guy , some Las Vegas flotsam or jetsam, who blogs.

Carry on.

Diesel has got on well with mouth breathers renting long term airbnbs he’s stayed at before. I think he’s on better behavior in his new room and in airbnbs in the past but he yearns to live in his own crapulence, so he still grabs hotel rooms on the strip to leave his pube shavings on the floor, cook gross stuff, and who knows what else.

Could Rice be exchanging sexual favors for a reduced rate and perhaps a biweekly access to the bathroom? 500 hundred a month plus some favors could set him up with a semi acceptable living arrangement.

It states the room is on Maryland Parkway. Tons of drug users and gang members walking around on Maryland Parkway.

Trooper needs to take ELD to the shooting range to train him up for urban self defense.

ELD could be walking back from the store holding a bag and someone on Maryland Parkway would swoop in and run off with the bag only to the ultimate disappointment of finding chicken hearts and some minute rice.

The way ELD lives makes Trooper look like a Saudi Prince, even when he was slumming it in his Desert Manor days.

Rice is creating new standards when it comes to bottom of the barrell thats for sure. Unreal stuff.

When it comes to our fresh slot pros the Troopers they have been going radio silence for a good while now. 12 days since last video on the slots channel and over a month of silence on the Trooper97 channel.

Safe to say that everything isnt smooth sailing.

Quick question - does anybody featured in this thread actually play poker any more?

Maybe we should rename this thread "Las Vegas Nomadic Vlogs" instead and start a new one for actual poker players...

Today ELD starts his Nomadic Trip.

ELD states we will learn where he is tomorrow.

ELD gives opening monologue of his Nomadic Trip saying that he is getting out of the sun and wind and then talks about time vs. rake.

ELD has his Nomadic sunglasses on and gives an apparently meaningless speech and refers to handwritten notes.

There are tall trees in the background and a parking lot and various people walking with backpacks in the background behind ELD's monologue.

Good point,nobody in the infamous whack pack is playing poker anymore. Not that any of them can beat the games anyway that is Trooper,Nomad and Pman.

Surely more successfull vloggers play poker regurarly,but this thread has always been focused on the carcrashes and the trainwrecks for as long as i can remember.

Yup I suspect the harsh reality of variance finally caught up with little Timmy. When a clown like him abruptly stops beating his chest about how he is crushing AP slots it can only mean one thing; he had his ass handed to him.

I guess we can put our money on the same strat they used when they faceplanted in the candy adventure. One day everything is going top notch, they are sold out yada yada.Then they just make vlogs about something completely different-not mentioning the epic fail with a single word. Just acting like nothing happend.

Trooper do love to mop all his epic fails under the carpet.

Don't forget forays by Bike King and Think Blue Poker.

I think this can be used as evidence that the theory of being a "poker pro" and making a living playing 1/2NL can be laid to rest and is false.

The only outlier is Tony BigCharles which supports the existence of the strange results of quantum theory and that we don't purely live in a universe bounded by Newtonian physics, or classical mechanics.

TBC is the low stakes Nikola Tesla surrounded by failed Edisons. (Tesla, himself, died penniless in a hotel room)

Bikeking qualifies for the whack pack,but he have been gone for so long so not relevant anymore pretty much. Living in his car homeless style,grinding 60 dollar dailies raketraps in Vegas,flat out lying about having 50K in the bank getting stolen,skipping meals so he can use the money to gamble instead++.

TBP just seemed like a good guy,but very very naive and was destined to go broke sooner or later. Nobody can build a bankroll playing 60 bucks tournaments,or 1/2 rakepartys buying in for a 100. No matter if you are skilled enough to be a winning player in the long run,wich he just wasnt.

Correct.

And with Trooper you can't make a living at 1/2 by knowing little about poker theory but relying on "reading players" and detecting infallible "tells".

Pchild's approach of expending zero effort at anything or everything is also doomed to failure. Fancy play syndrome combined with wishful thinking and pure laziness doesn't work.

ELD folding everything except AA/KK and collecting a dollar or two per hour in comps results in living in a small cell without a bathroom surviving on cat/dog food prepared in a rice cooker.

Hopefully someone comes up with a new entertaining approach trying to turn lead into gold.

I also have no idea how the Troopers have been keeping it together. In the comment section of one of his last videos, a commenter said they would be back at Dessert Manor. Trooper said that they pay 4X what Dessert Manor cost. I think way back when, it was $600/month. So Trooper is paying about $2400/month for their current apartment? That might be right, as I think it is a 2 bedroom with a garage. Then they have vehicle payments? Insurance? Utilities, Food, internet, phone. Got to be $3K month if it is a penny. Lady Trooper must have some income source, as Trooper isn't making $3K a month hustling slots!

I am going to guess that IF Trooper has busted out, we'll never see a video from him again. This is especially the case if the bustout also involved Lady Trooper.

Perhaps somebody might spot him being a waiter at a restaurant or dealing in a room.

I think there is a good chance that Trooper will not be posting any videos moving forward....that he is done.

Yeah, but I don't buy into quantum physics fully. There is something different going on that nobody has figured out yet.

If that happens, Trooper will likely move to a lower cost of living area. Like mom's basement.

Well,i am not buying Trooper is finished with YT. He is way to addicted to this stuff to be able to quit. What kind of content he will put out is another case of course.

I agree that they have a decent amount of expences though. Even so,the Trooper said a while back both their cars are paid off and debtfree. I would not be surprised if they have been building up creditcard dept in the past fee years though.

Wonder if Corey and Abby consider themselves poker pros, or whether they have the awareness to know they are just content creators. Have either of these two actually cashed a tournament? Kinda crazy to be jobless and still be able to light so much money on fire. Assume they are funding the 4-figure buy-ins with Youtube revenue (or, in Abby's case, her Onlyfans-lite (i.e., her Insta)).

Abbey was at a 1/2 nl table behind me last night at borgata with a sub 200 dollar stack. But trust her she's a pro.

She is definitely more attractive in person so she'll be fine in the poker world.

Is Trooper Thursday dead? Westgate, right?
