I never said he could get those hours year round. But there are multiple tournament series, it wouldnt be impossible to get 6 months worth of high paid work just dealing tournament series if you are willing to travel.

Even though he is a Nomad he said he doesn't want to travel. It would be smart. Think he wants to work two or three events a year.

You would think? Sigs don't bother me, but some people get really worked up about them.

I don't understand what the point of those signatures is anyways? Can someone explain the purpose or value?

ELD reports today from on his channel that a wife playing poker asks for ELD's autograph in front of her husband.

Of course. The man is an expert on fitness and health just ask him.

i have exclusive rights on el diesel erotic fan fiction and that work was not authorized!


El Diesel wanted to promo grind Westgate for the 200 rakeback for 30 hours played but no games were ever running even with the pool players in town. I wonder how many hours our boy, pman, is getting as a part time dealer there. It might be time for him to buckle down and get his grind on and forget this dealer nonsense.

You do understand that Pman is a LOSING poker player, right? Getting his grind on is a horrible decision when you have a loss rate.

ELD reports that the ultimate room goal is to book a combined reservation using cash for Sunday through Thursday and then use comps for Friday and Saturday and then book the following Sunday through Thursday for a combined long term twelve day stay in the same room. ELD has allocated $400 in comps and aiming for a low cost weekend around $150 per weekend night and states that

I don't think you can reserve a room for that long in the Rewards system. You would have to do some of the days completely without benefits from Caesars Rewards. Man-off-the-street prices, even at CET, are pretty severe.

A dealer/floor at 7 mile casino in San Diego, quit his dealer job at Orleans because there wasn’t enough available hours like previously stated in this thread and now works 3 days a week commuting in from Mexico to save money. When I heard this, I immediately thought that would be perfect for Diesel, with his stellar driving and newfound dealer skills.

Some Vegas dealers have multiple jobs because of that.

A minute later: "Hey, that's not how you spell Willie Robinson!".


Think Blue coming strong with the daily EDR porn! Nice troll at Diesel today showing a plate of chicken wings with a huge pile of white rice, which he proceeds to eat with a fork I’m sure.

Oh, I just figured someone moving to Vegas to specify play poker for a living would be good at it .

That would make it two folks who figured that, you and just about every home town hero who arrives in Las Vegas to play poker for a living.

I've been playing live in Las Vegas for most of 50 years, there is no way to make a living by live playing poker at low stakes.

Being "good at it" does not suffice. Additionally, most players who "want" to play for a living are kidding themselves as to their relative edge versus other players generally. Being a long term winning player is not sufficient to make a living from playing live

A player seeking to make a living from playing poker generally needs an edge of some sort over some other player or players and then hustle the f**k out of your mark/pigeon/opponent/whatever.

(Tournaments are different than cash games of course, and online is different than live. Both those formats' features DO provide an opportunity for a player to "make a living at playing poker" in my opinion.)

+1 but he does always seem to play poker sober. What if he has a couple of fast acting sativa edibles in him, maybe that could suppress his gambling urges and make him somehow play live cash better. That would be a good vlog series/NYT bestseller, “The Gambling Addict that could only win stoned”

Gzesh, most of the posters on this thread know that, which is why we are begging Big Poppa to tell diesel to just drive up and down the Mississippi River bumhunting. He is quickly being priced out of Vegas anyways. He figured out that gift card Airbnb “hack,” if he isn’t so lazy he could figure out some credit card hack to get cheaper rooms at whatever chain he wants.

I would say diesel could hustle some AP slots downtown/off strip but the variance would cause him to run out of the casino screaming and begging for someone to give him free chocolate milk.

That was only half the reason. The other half? Legal weed.

He could study at the feet of the Trooper. How good are the loyalty programs downtown? Can he earn enough comps playing those slots to get rooms with?


Zero chance El Diesel/Rice would ever play slots.
#Variance
Also: El Diesel/Rice doesn't want to say it, but he really misses his free gatorade, ice cream shakes, chocolate milk, etc.
He really liked bragging about getting those things free, while 'dumb tourist' had to pay for them.

So, ElD has/had (?) a part-time deling gig, likes free gatorade, ice cream shakes chocolate milk, and looks down on "dumb tourists" who simply pay or such items ....

ElD has wasted potential talent, education, etc, Sure ...who cares, so long as he is happy with his grind/hustle ?

There are a lot of low-stakes live poker grinders in Las Vegas who eke out survival, the difference is ElD has a vlog.

"But who calls it livin' when no gal will give in to a man who grinds $1-3 for years" .... borrowed from Porgy & Bess

If by “a lot” you mean roughly the amount you would expect from survivor bias in a game with this much variance, then sure. There is a reason these guys turn over so often. At the low levels careers start with heaters or tournament binks. Those guys either move up or revert to the mean and go broke.

This is patently false.
I would be shocked if there are more than a handful of $1/3 poker players eking out a survival in Las Vegas.
And I would be even more shocked if there are more than two dozen poker players $2/5 and below, eking out a survival in Las Vegas.

I am not sure but it would be better than Caesar’s if they got rid of the resort fee waiver. I know he would never play but it would be so funny, “I am suing Boyd because that Regal Riches play was a must hit but I lost $200!!!” Plus the inevitable cross over episode of Trooper and Diesel teaming up for “one last AP slots score” so that they can both retire, they hit some 10k jackpot and both are crying saying they finally made it, like it’s all the money in the world.

Diesel is openly admitting how much he misses voucher drinks. In the video today he is in the grocery store looking absolutely miserable, saying I have to buy my drinks here now that Caesar’s took them away from me. He’s acting like a bitter Vietnam war veteran and Caesar’s is a war protestor that spit on him.

We have el Diesel doing it and once pman makes his return after putting in his 6 months of toil at the Westgate he will also succeed as a llnl grinder. Think Blue Poker failed but that's only because he found that cushy job making 13.50 taking sports bets.
