grats on the world record el D

To be as ordinary and boring a person as Trooper, or even worse ELD, and still think that people will be interested in your utterly mundane life enough to actually subscribe and view it. That takes an extreme dose of egocentricity and narcissism in the first place.

I mean if someone like Trooper can get to his level of popularity on YouTube then literally anyone could. All it requires is actually being willing to do it, that's literally the only thing separating the Trooper apart from everyone else. He was willing to put his miserable life on display for all to see, while 99.9 of others in his same shoes wouldn't have the egocentricity to do so.

I thought the 'world record journey' was an embarrassment.
Rice played 18 minutes in one poker room.
Won one hand in seven states, Rice basically sat at a table and racked up after thirty minutes.
Rice cowardly changed the parameters of the challenge from 'one hour to a room' to 30 minutes a room, and he didn't even accomplish that.
In typical Rice fashion, he undertook the 'world record' on a Monday, when Friday was the obvious choice.

This is Rice's chart of this 'tremendous feat'.

Someone could easily take that world record away from him by adding the stipulation that they won at least one hand of poker in 7+ states in 24 hours.

Thanks for the chart. I went ahead and peeped it. Haven't actually watched a video in a week and a half.

With this fake, clickbait "challenge" I went ahead and unsubscribed from his channel.

Yeah he didn't even complete the challenge according to his own rules.

He initially said it was going to be 60 minutes at each room, then on the day he changed it to only 30 minutes. But at Harrah's Atlantic City he only played 18 minutes. He didn't even stay till the game broke, which would have given him the half hour he needed thus completing the challenge. The reason he gave for leaving after only 18 minutes was that the game was short handed!

It's not just amazing that Trooper has as many subs as he does on YouTube. It's the number of people actually cheering him on in the comments and so happy to meet him in person and dare I say wished they had his life.

He's literally just living an average life. Christina puts up Costco shopping runs for goodness sake.

I"m gonna start a YouTube channel of me going to get my mail. It will be a daily vlog. You all in? Please remember to like, subscribe and comment. Also buy my branded "Got Mail" merch. Thanks all. Incoming 50k subs.

So basically Diesel's world record attempt is basically breathing air in a poker room in seven different states in 24 hours. Well done bud! Certify this Guinness now!

lol, I think "You've Got Mail" is someone else's IP,

....but you might not get a nasty letter

Yeah it was a bit underwhelming.... it was little more than going to a gas station in seven states the length of time he spent in each poker room!

Don't world records have rules and witnesses?

Yes, win one hand or play one hour in each room would be ok with me.

Diesel is such a coward.
Also: Diesel could have went to the Borgota, and played an 8/9 handed table if he wanted to.

That's about it.

It was pitifully underwhelming in my book.

Diesel just made up the rules as he went, and he didn't even complete the 'world record' by those rules.

An accurate summary. On the other hand; the simpletons in the YouTube comments are absolutely enthralled with this "world record" achievement.

i would absolutely love it if someone in the thread contacted guiness and setup an official record not for diesel but for themselves and for an intentionally lower number of states 😀

I don't think there is any similar type record currently in GBOWR. Since it's a low-profile record with no previous record to beat, he could have got it into the book with proper video evidence and probably time stamps.

Maybe taking a video of his chip stack at each place with a shot of a logo, etc and also a shot of his phone showing the date and time.

But winning “one” hand in each casino could have taken a bit more than 24 hours.

That would involve 3 Airbnbs and a Motel 6 and a local laundromat ($5.75). Plus bananas, purple powerade, sardines and gummy bears.

Abort mission!!

short handed is very scary!
you still only get aces every 220 hands but pay way more in blinds before you get them.

Do you believe anyone other than Rice and his assembly of pseudonyms is posting positive comments?

Hilarious. I don't know what's worse, this or playing one orbit of 5/T at Springfield, losing $15 (can you guess the outcome of every single hand?), and then quitting.

Imagine driving for 12+ hours in a day across 7 states to just set foot into a poker room and fold for 30 mins before hopping back in the car for another two hour drive.

It's worth noting he also managed to dodge a nights accommodation. I think that was low key the purpose of the entire endeavour. Just like the times he flew interstate and back to watch half a game of baseball was just to avoid paying for accommodation.

He was so smug that his plan of checking in at 5am worked instead of having to sleep in his car until 4pm. He said that the hotel did the "right thing" and his reasoning is that if the rooms are free then it's only right for them to let people check-in whenever they want. So by his reasoning he should be able to get free accommodation at any hotel anytime that they have some vacancy, since the room is just sitting there going unused!

When I read the YouTube comments,
I find myself saying 'this can't be real'.

Trooper already spent more in prep work for the farmers market then they will evet make back.

Is the farmers market a big thing in Vegas? My only exposure to any farmers market was that it was a place my mom would buy corn from when it was in season like once or twice a year, i thought it was like a not fun, smaller version of a church festival or flea market. They obviously have a lot of eggs in that basket as they can’t ship online.

I still can’t get over he spent so much time building a website they missed the holidays and didn’t sell anything, and it turns out the website is completely useless because they can’t shop. I’m sure they’re circumventing it as much as possible and prob selling online anyway but my god is that funny and so on brand for trooper

The Los Angeles City Council tried passing an ordinance to this theory last year.
