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.

A new update March 2019:
NO ****ING POLITICS!
This is ThinkBluePoker's buddy Brandon, he landed a dealer job at the Venetian.

ELD lost a court case regarding apartment security deposit despite being the cleanest and best tenant ever which caused a chain reaction leading to nomadic existance:
Ironic title for that vlog. "Law School Was A Scam | Poker Is A Meritocracy"
One of the reasons he loves poker is the better you are, the more you are rewarded unlike a typical job. While that's true, it's the meritocracy that forced him to leave Vegas as he could not win enough to cover his expenses anymore strictly from poker.
It's quite hilarious that he was crying about people getting paid more strictly cause of length of employment and not how good you are at the job. So he quits the working world to play poker yet doesn't work to improve and get better and reap the rewards for your skill level.
Being a Vegas promo grinder is akin to that working world he despises where he got rewarded with promo money not cause of his skill but for just existing at the table and playing hours.
Just more stuff that proves how detached he is from reality and the lack of self awareness.
That vlog is a perfect example of why Diesel is where he is in life. He's the best in the world at everything yet he can't catch a break and get rewarded for his greatness.

I hope he does well I just liked and subscribed. Perfect format and content with the mandatory parking garage content, earnings report, and employee dining tour.
Plus the cost of applying to take the exam , which is different in every state, but is always some exorbitant amount.
A quick google search says CA is $850 for example and I don’t think they’re the highest one.
I posted a couple of pages back that I’d be willing to chip in $ if Rice would do a “pass the bar exam challenge”.
With 5k followers, he should be able to raise enough to cover the cost of the exam and prep.
If Rice actually graduated from the Law Skool, the skool should have a record of it that is public.
There are indeed people who graduate and don't take the bar for a variety of reasons. I personally didn't take the bar for a number of years after graduating.
For those that have waited more than a year or so to take the bar, you are going to have to take a prep course. These are a tremendous cost of time & effort. They can also be rather pr
He has said more than once he didn't/doesn't want to be a lawyer. He decided that before graduation. He sure as hell has no reason for a bar exam.
can we just forget ELD now?
we all know he's a wacko and isn't even in Vegas anymore
the shock in Rice's voice when H&R says a good 2/5 nl can make 70-75 an hour in the right city is classic.
Rice table changes/casino changes 5-10 times a night.
h&r- almost never changes. "i make games good. I'm an activator".
Amazing how Rice never learns anything even from his friend.
He needs a 2nd thread. Impossible to talk about anyone else as comments are drowned out a few hours later with the same eld comment over and over
I'm not hating, just think it would be better to give him his own thread at this point
When someone is as insane and as much of a lolcow as el diesel, how do you talk about anything else?
The guy cooks in bathrooms, with feces or some other mysterious brown or dark colored gunk surrounding the toilet in the frame of his vlog.
The guy makes videos dedicated to arguing with haters
The guy created an account here specifically to argue with haters, and when they respond to him he says they arent winning players
Guy is an unreal loser, and its going to be very hard for someone to usurp the throne from him because of how much hes shown in his vlog
ALMOST FORGOT, he claimed to be the number 2 vlogger, not based on views or subs, but based on how many videos hes made, and then it turned out it wasnt even true, he wasnt even top 10 at the time or he was number 10 i forget.
ALMOST FORGOT AGAIN, he constantly brings up Jon Olerud !!!!
The only person I can see ever catching el diesel is bike king if he showed his actual day to day life over the last 5 years or so. Bikes mental illness never lets him show himself not super crushing it in his eyes, which is why there’s so few updates or vlogs from him. Diesels mental illness is perfect because he’s so unaware and detached from reality he doesn’t understand the things he’s showing about his life are completely embarrassing. He’s even so out to lunch he brags about his completely embarrassing things, which is a whole other level.
Happy Keep track week!! I'd be lying if I said I haven't been looking forward to this!
I rarely have bet sports in my life. I have of course and it started in grade school with the old style $5 sheets my dad brought home from work.
These new sites seem too good to be true. Which means they probably are. Taking both sides of a bet to guarantee an infinitesimal profit on a game? Probably not worth your time unless you were making very large bets. I heard once that regular sports bettors would load up on the No. 1 seed in a tennis tournament to win in the first round of two. They would literally make $5 on a $1000 bet.
Another classic from Rice today where he basically begs us to sign up for his Patreon. I wonder how many subs he has there and what he makes?

PMan if he had a work ethic...
Diesel is objectively better than bikeking or pman in pretty much every way even if it's not saying much.
Funny thing is bikeking and pman would both be offended by comparisons to each other but that's what happens when you're delusional.
Pman is even offended at every mention that tbc is better than him at poker even though you can park an Airbus in the gap between their poker skills

I think pman is quite possibly the worst poker player in all of $1/3 land when you look at his graphs.
Although he likely played alot of $2/5 as well as we know he'a a degen and has 0 bankroll management.
It's quite impressive how he acted like he was a small winner at the game and studying and improving while getting his family and friends and random people to stake him when his results show he's a bottom 1% player in the player pool.

I would think that upwards of 75% of live poker players are delusional about their ability or success at playing over a given sample size of significance.
That high rate of delusion is the bedrock of the poker industry, seriously.

The only players that aren't delusional are the ones that keep detailed records of every session, including total buyins, win/loss, hours played, venue, time in and time out, day of week, calculated ROI, hourly win rate, and hand histories, and acknowledged mistakes. Most don't keep these kinds of records. Like you said, probably less than 25%
