I don't understand how someone could live in Las Vegas and spend their day playing 33 online tournaments for $1400

You mean you don't go to Cancun or Hawaii and spend 12 hours watching videos of the beach on youtube?


The news reports that a band outside of the Paris violated the rubric and was arrested in accordance with the Rubric previously explained by ELD which has prohibited such bands on Las Vegas Boulevard and blocking the sidewalk.

in his case he's way better off playing the much softer live fields

but i know a few online pros who live in vegas and never play live

they are good enough to win online and it feeds the lifestyle they prefer - and it's easier to grind out more volume to overcome the much stronger fields

but obviously pman should be playing live (if at all)

If I were a teacher and taught a lesson, and 0 of my 33 students understood it, then the problem is me.If I were a salesman and pitched to 33 potential clients in a day and closed zero deals, I'd have to rethink my career.Hell, even Shaq couldn't miss 33 straight free throws.Pman's real results:Today's Results: $0 (Did not play)Overall Results (Day 4): -$1,166

It actually gonna be really interesting to see what this number lands on further down the line.

Pmans last vlog was quite entertaining,just brush it off standard losing sunday. Also its gonna be interesting to see how much he gets to lose- before his backer stops the staking deal.

Finally i would give alot to know the real number of how much money Pdad has given Pman over the past 3-4 years, as Pman claimed in his thread recently he isnt living on dads money.

Even better, how would you like to be his backer and after blowing over a $1000 of your money, instead of getting back out there and grinding, he's got "insomnia" and can't play at all the next day.

I guess it's easier to take days off when you're not stuck your own money.

Yeah,i expect Pmans willingness to "grind" will drop significantly if he keeps losing on the staking deal.

One of his primary motivations to play is the hope of instantly going on a heater. When that doesent happen the excuses on why he isnt playing will likely just keep coming. He is a degen gambler at heart,not a pokerplayer.

And we all know his so called work ethic,and how quickly the excuses come by.


ELD reports from the Paris Horseshoe top of the parking garage.

Today ELD states he will spend less than $200 per month on food for 2026.

This is reduced from the 2025 food budget of $235 per month because ELD has a refrigerator and permanent address now.

ELD states he will visit 21 new poker rooms including one that Alexis a retired female bodybuilder informed ELD about.

ELD states he will continue "Days of Adventure" including ghost towns.

The Days of Adventure will occur twice per month except during Summer.

ELD may spend a weekend in his car in Phoenix.

ELD thinks that he will set 222.8 lbs as his weight goal.

ELD states he reserves the right to amend the goals.

when I was there last year the two dealers at the PH table were so bad and so slow I tilted and left pretty early. as they say, in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

I was there for a week last year. He's not as horrible as you guys make him out to be but he exaggerates or maybe he is so delusional that he actually believes it. There are some really bad dealers at PH but theres no way hes double the speed. Also compared to dealers at top places like Bellago and Wynn, of course he sucks.

There's a dealer at Bellagio that makes his own rake. I am not exaggerating that it's like a Bentley conpared to Rice's $500 buy here pay here POS. Legitimately though, the guy could sell this as a top of the line dealer rake. One ex dealer player was trying to argue with the guy that he would he faster without the rake and the dealer said he's tried it and hes way faster with the rake. I believe it.
He uses the rake to only grab stuff that is out of reach and his motion is precise and fast. Sometimes it is for sure faster than if he bent his back and used his hands

Rice's rake slows him down and he uses it for stuff he could easily reach and be faster.

There were several dealers in PH that misread boards multiple times. Ill give rice credit for being able to read boards as he's been a poker player. Here's a funny story. Theres this obvious board where this lady's ace high won. I forgot the exact hand but everyone was likje WTF, she won as the dealer tried pushing the pot to this guy. I think maybe he had ace high also but with a low kicker and no two pair on the board. Whatever it was, in no way should anyone have trouble readng this board. The dealer paused for a few second when several players including me were like "Woah, he lost. She won the pot!". This older lady (maybe late 50s) had been talkative and friendly to everyone but as the dealer was finally pushing the pot to her finally, she said "Give me my pot, bitch!". I even asked the guy next to me if I heard that right and he said he was wondering the same thing.

Landon sums it up about right.

The real question is, would Rice get the reference? We know he prefers King of Queens to any other series out there, whether network TV, cable, streaming etc.

ETA, someone mentioned awhile back on this thread that Rice uses the rake not only for chips, but for discards as well.

I can confirm that he does use the rake for both. Most of the time, or nearly all of the time, using the rake slows him down, unlike the Bellagio dealer I described in my post. Rice just doesn't want to lean over (lazy) or physically can't (his back will hurt doing it all day).


The only way this slob gets down to 228 if he has some sort of illness (likely caused from one of his EDR record setting performances) that leaves him hospitalized on a liquid diet for at least a month.


by parisron

He is 5 foot 6 inches and fat and has short arms, he has no chance to pull the bets in without a rake or getting up each time. You would think he would at least invest in a $20 one or whatever they cost on amazon rather than some homemade rake with tape.

I saw him at PH last month. He actually looked more like 5 '9" and looked like he did not carry the weight that people seem to think.


So Rice was smoking at least his 4th cigar of the year (that we've seen on his videos) who knows how many more he has had when not filming. We can't assume that he only smokes cigars when filming videos.

Point is that in one of his recent Mean, Stupid Wrong videos he claimed he only smokes 10 cigars a year. I think we can now safely say with 100% certainty that Rice will just make up any crap and say it if he thinks it serves his purpose.

Also in today's video Rice admits that he will only be playing poker from now on for status. Like we all didn't know that one already. It's been his only reason to play for the last few years now.

Oh yeah, I can only describe my friend's existence as "miserable", which nobody in high school with parents that pay for all necessities should be. They even gave him a brand new pickup truck. I think that arrangement ended when he graduated. Funny side story, he was all set to go to medical school, because doctors make a lot of money. Then he talked to someone in medical schoo

Yeah it's ironic but both the guys I knew like this were problem gamblers. They would blow thousands playing tables/slots/poker etc but they were the most frugal OMCs when it came to spending money on literally anything else, including their own health and wellbeing. Even when they would be cashed up from a good run at the casino they still wouldn't spend a cent of it. So eventually all the money went straight back to the casino sooner or later.

Kind of similar to TBC, he has no problem blowing 20% of his net worth playing online BJ or VBJ but then he will count every last penny when it comes to what he spends on his living expenses.

And in his YT reply when a poster asked him how many cigars he smokes pr year,Rice said like 2 pr month average or like 24 pr year. So both numbers he gives out is still a clear lie.

His insane heavy breathing is starting to make some more sense now,Rice have probably smoked alot of cigars for many years. If he smokes alot off camera,it could be off the charts high. Add in being significantly overweight+zero real exercise to make the cocktail complete. (No Rice,slow walking like a sunday stroll on flat ground isnt real exercise no matter how many times you claim it is).

His food cost Rice said will be max $200 pr month in 2026,wich is only possible for him due to maximum abuse of the EDR eating like 80 percent of his total food for the month in there.

Lol don't forget that one time he tried sprinting up a canyon. It wasn't even that steep yet he was out of puff in a matter of seconds.

When are we going to get classics like that again? Surely he is due for another college campus tour or maybe another day trip walking aimlessly around San Fran. His recent ghost town videos are so lame by comparison.


So I just wanted to add to my experience being dealt by this "Rice" guy. I actually had him as a dealer on at one of my sessions at PH. Yes, that rake thing he uses looks like something that my 5 year old made as a project in school, its the nut low of poker rakes. He did deal slow, but he wasn't the slowest. He didn't really make any mistakes, he was not real talkative and looked like he hadn't showered in days. It's obvious he doesn't utilize an iron, that's for sure.

The one thing that was hilarious about this session was the drunk guy in seat one kept making faces whenever "Rice" would deal a new hard, it was almost a face of disgust. So when Rice left the table, the drunk guy stands up and says "yes, I've been drinking and I may or may not comprehend much right now, but one thing I do know for a fact is this that last dealer (referring to Rice) smelled like bologna and feet, and I feel sick from it". The whole table laughs out loud. Then the guy precceds to run and throw up in a trash can. I do have to say that Rice did look pretty rough that night so I'm not sure if he keeps tabs on his hygiene or not.

Walking actually is really good for you but I'm guessing most days he isn't walking much. Then you throw in him treating his body like a garbage disposal while somehow seeing an Adonis in the mirror and you get the massively overweight specimen who can barley breath ten seconds into a run.

He really might be the most delusional person I've ever seen in my life.

Absolutely walking is very good for you,especially if you walk at a decent pace with an incline. Burns fat like crazy.

My point is that slow strolling around on flat ground like Rice does isnt really exercising,at least not regarding to getting the pulse going or even being close to what kind of activity he needs as being significantly overweight.

Hilarious


Listened to Vegas Matt's interview on Iced Coffee Hour. He talks a lot about Vegas advantage players, a/k/a "Alpha Poppas"... He describes them as the smartest of the smart. Clearly, he's talking about the Pooper. I may suggest that Graham book Timmy as a guest.


Sorry if I missed it but where's Jaman been?

He wasn't as fat as I was expecting but he's still massively obese.

To non APs, AP plays sound like brain surgery. Blackjack has been solved for 60 years and still probably 99 percent of players still don't even play basic strategy. They think card counting is super complex when it's low level math. The hard part is getting away with it and dealing with the brutal swings which most people can't handle.

There are also many different layers to APs.

Someone like James Grosjean is an absolute genius.

At the opposite end of that spectrum is a flea like Trooper who is really just a busto degen who knows some plays and also plays tons of -ev nonsense.


You all assume Rice smokes a full cigar in every instance.

Being a non smoker is that normal? Some of his cigars are large.


The Iced Coffee hour host had a Permanent Address in Henderson but then he moved back to Los Angeles since it was too hot in Nevada for him.

A news article shows the Iced Coffee host frowning due to Nomads in Santa Monica:
