Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs
Gobbo other Thread got closed by the mod said it doesn't belong in the House of Blogs, hoping we can have this one witho
I recall a TBC story of when he was down to very little money sleeping on some grass outside of an office building and being woken up when he got soaked by the sprinklers. Which still sounds better than traveling for almost 2 days to see half of a baseball game you have to leave early from to make your flight back stinking up the airplane in the process.
That was many years ago when the sockroll was below $1,000. He now usually stays in decent extended stay motels and Airbnbs. Life is a little different when the sockroll is about $75K.
On the bright side we should get some great PH parking garage content, which ELD has never showcased that garage before. It is the biggest and most expansive parking garage which ever needed a video.
ELD should explain the oversize parking, employee parking, and regular parking areas and the various elevators for a comprehensive episode.
It's also very busy during retail business hours. He'll have to do it late at night or on the roof.
It's really amazing it's taken Diesel this long to realize how much better dealing poker is compared to playing poker financially.It's like he had an epiphany last year dealing the Orleans series that hey, dealing cards for $30+/hr for 8 hours and then going home everyday is pretty sweet. He's usually playing 10+ hours and switching rooms several times so he gets action from r
Plus, it won't cost him anything to eat better than sardines and sausage. He might actually start eating better.
It's like once Rice got a taste of real money, he fell in love with it.
Rice's food bill is gonna be pretty low if he can scheme his way into working 7 days a week at one of his dealing jobs.
"Hey I just stopped by to ask Luigi something. Haven't seen him? He's the new guy. I'll go see if he's in the EDR."
I mean, in my book Rice is the absolute nut low in terms of life quality/life standards. Can you imagine moving all the garbage he is married with in and out of his car to move into new housing every 3-4 days? Nut low for sure imo.TBC from what i know has a decent roll at least to work with (between 30-50K?), he seems to win at a decent clip at the pokertables and seems to live
If I had to choose between having one or the other's life though, I'd choose Diesel. I wouldn't want to BE Diesel, but at least he's not addicted to gambling. Diesel could probably give up poker entirely, and wouldn't NEED to play.

I just peeped Twitter. Looks like TBC has a monthly rental in Dallas and has been staying in Choctaw this week.
I'd like to see El D with TWO rentals (makes Ronnie James Dio devil horns for the #2).

I am leaning towards more corpulent.
Diesel should never be bashed for actually getting a job and planning to work alot of hours.
Good for him!!
Let's go Diesel!!
Blackjack and hookers versus Rice cookers and old sitcom reruns.
Is it really any contest?
I still shudder thinking of Rice sitting in the corner of a dumpy Harrahs hotel room, watching old Trooper vlogs on his laptop, munching on canned salmon smeared on crackers with a huge smug grin on his face like he is eating a Michelin Five Star meal.
You won't find TBC walking around an empty golf course with some pocket bread.
That’s not how he wants YouTube to work. Some people want others to admire them, look up to them and view them as a star. Why do you think Lady Trooper admires him? Because she sees him as a YouTube star; she recently made it clear she really admires what he does on YouTube.
What are the Trooper meetups for? It’s for fans who look up to him to see a “celebrity” in person and get excited about it, and give him money because they can buy his stuff there.
Some people do not want to look like an idiot in video after video and have the comment section mock them even if it does bring in the most money.
Punts money at video blackjack.
Stocks up on microwaved dinners at Walmarts.
Blew a guy but hates gays.
Gets scammed by women for money (this is way more interesting than anything Rice ever does)
Yeah, he needs to eat Bob Evan’s brand instant mashed potatoes because of his teeth, he tells us all about his crazy dreams, and complains about his gross toe nails that are next to impossible to trim.
Compared to diesel and trooper, TBC is a genius, sophisticated, millionaire, poker player.

and yet trooper has a wife and diesel can drive a car
it's crazy how TBC is so much better ar poker than they are though, TBC's results don't lie, he is good at low stakes poker
His analysis is the most concerning part. It ends at something like ‘he would never fold flop so even if I raise I would still lose the hand’. As if the primary goal of the flop raise is preventing your opponent from hitting a 2 outer. No concern about potentially missing value on the flop or putting in money bad on the river.
It’s just a bad beat story like many other hands in the vlog. That’s why the way it’s told is results oriented.
Exactly. Of course he doesent want to give hand histories,he knows he butchers hands on a daily basis and is gonna get roasted in the comments.
If he did indeed limp A6 from early pos he is a bigger fish than even i thought,especially if it was offsuit my god.
Yeah, also i would add that limping garbage from early pos just because you "want to see a flop" is so basic fish leaks that i instantly would start to worry about what other massive -EV leaks he has in his game.Not limping weak Ax hands like A6 from up front is such basic stuff that i even thought a clown like Trooper had that pinned down. But of course he didnt,cause he is a
I watched both videos and didn’t hear him say if it was suited or not.
Back when he first came to Vegas, and was on a massive heater making $19 an hour in 500 hours, I witnessed him play a hand with ace-rag offsuit. He limped with it in later position and hit a pair of aces. A passive player had a line of bet-bet-shove postflop and Trooper goes call-call-call and of course loses his $240-$250. Trooper had an ace with a really weak kicker and just gave away his entire stack so easily.
I was shocked. At the time everyone figured he was good enough to beat low stakes and eventually move up because he kept winning in the vlog. He presented himself as a low stakes crusher and a serious poker player.
He made a comeback and finished ahead around $150 and in the vlog he said it was a good session, he won, etc. but he never mentioned the hand I saw.
Also never mentioned that he was rude to a super fish that was there to have fun. Trooper implied to the guy that he was an idiot for not taking the game seriously.

He thinks the game is more about “live reads” than it is about stuff like hand values and the importance of position. I think that’s one reason he is upset at himself for not folding the river.
That’s also why I don’t think he is a nit. He will usually fold garbage but he plays some hands a nit won’t, and has a leak of calling some big bets postflop that he shouldn’t call. I think the villain in the hand had the right line going bet-bet-overbet shove. Trooper might put him on a bluff, or refuse to fold a 6 and call. Trooper would HATE to be bluffed out of a pot if he holds a 6.
It’s also why he makes a huge deal about discovering a tell that he claims is accurate 100% of the time. Live reads live reads live reads.

TBC sits around his room reading Archie comics, Rapture fiction, and playing internet blackjack.

The sad thing is he's a way better player than Diesel and way richer.
