Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

Wonder what kind of processors grok uses. I own some Nvidia stock. I would donate a processor for saving me from having to watch that drek, but they're 40 grand each.

I think the Caesar's gig is the poker dealing equivalent of working low-level corporate america office gigs, with the exception that rice can EO (early out) whereas the former is committed to stay until EOD. Pays the bills but is soul-sucking. Also no health care or benefits for the riceman.

I do find it interesting that Rice is flying here and there while working the least amount possible. Quite the contrast to his prior double job grind.

Is the airfare under $40?

are you saying you were in worse shape at 30 than Rice is now? otherwise the math doesn't math

also survivorship bias

It sounds like management watched his old videos when they found out he had a youtube channel. Diesel was really stupid for bragging about the way he abused employee privileges.

Can you imagine how amusing/horrifying that would have been for them lol

Frontier and Spirit have fares booked about 2 to 3 weeks out which can get down to the $19 to $45 range.

Also every September Frontier usually sells the $299 unlimited flight pass.

The Frontier credit card has a special which gives free carry on bag the first year and then is $75 annual fee the second year. However if one takes enough free flights then he can cancel the credit card after achieving Gold tier on Frontier which gives free carry on bag.

He's gotten complacent. He thinks the job and the money will always be there. If he was smart he would maximize his income while he can. The job won't be there forever. CET is in play for a takeover. Just like it did when Eldorado took it over, the first thing new owners will do is tighten the belt. The most obvious place to save money is the dining room. Most employers don't have a dining room or free meals. You get an hour off, unpaid, and you find your own lunch.

The best part is when he's like this guy isn't gonna do anything cause their cameras everywhere when in reality it protects Trooper from getting his ass kicked. He's also dumb cause if something does happen, he's getting 86'ed and he loses a casino to check.

If Caesars had a dealer staff already, I imagine that the former PH dealers who transferred over are getting much less hours than they did at PH. Hours-wise, it's probably the equivalent of just having a part-time weekend job, until the WSOP rolls around.

Yeah, Youtube didn't pay off the way Troop hoped, because he was too stubborn and pig (hen?) headed to parlay it the way Neeme and others did. OTOH, if he had given hand histories he would have been relentlessly mocked/schooled. His best bet would have been to accept the free coaching he was offered, then vlog about its effect on his results. Documenting a path to improving as a player would definitely have made the channel more successful.

He's playing to live in a mansion, without considering the amount of real estate taxes and upkeep a mansion requires.

He also killed the one source of regular income he had, the Westgate game. It was dwindling but still a source of revenue unlike his other ventures. Although he did seem to lose most of the time.

If he weren't such a douche, the whole thing would be pretty sad.

Too funny to imagine them watching the Abby poker installment, and the meatball gorgings at company expense.

Yep. He stated that he didn't post hand histories bc he didn't want potential villains seeing how he played, but in reality, he didn't post hand histories bc his strategy was based solely off of tells. Without realizing that even most rec players were giving off reverse tells years prior.

He doesn't even own a trailer in a trailer park. I think playing to live in a mansion was a figure of speech to mean playing til he gets rich from it. Pretty much referring to a dream.

I imagine that they called up PH and asked how he got through their filters.

I don't think Trooper will die broke - based on his diet and lifestyle he'll likely die of a widowmaker before he goes broke.

Today ELD continues his Nomadic trail hike.

ELD arrives, after much walking, at the dinosaur prints and passes Native American archeological site.

ELD complains about the signs leading to the dinosaur prints.

Dinosaurs have three toes.

There are stone tools for corn flour and Nomadic corn cooking. Rice is a Nomadic food improvement over corn since is requires no grinding and processing.

As time went by the Native Americans became less Nomadic and hunted less and grew more corn and beans. Then their homes became larger.

For those of us who don't know how to count to three did he show us on his fingers?

What about him jumping over a knee high plank of wood?

50 second mark, wow don't underestimate those calf muscles. lol

I turned a recent 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip in a wilderness area into an 8 minute video. Rice is gonna stretch this stroll in a park into a week of content. Love it!

With a lot of jobs out there in the real world, you have to give over all the social media platforms you're a part of. Sure, you can lie, but if they find out later, you're looking for a new job.

All those trips to the employees gym were not wasted.

In the backasswards manner, no doubt

The fact that the thumbnail includes this image, with his head cut out, makes this even more amazing. He looks like a cartoon character. Would love to know how many tries this took. The outtakes would be hilarious.

It was even more hilarious when he went for the 2nd jump over the lower plank, which was barely knee height. Nonetheless he still warmed up for a good 10 seconds before executing. Perhaps he was just summoning his inner athlete
