Do you have a shrine built to worship Tony BigCharles? How often do you watch 10 year old Trooper vlogs? How many condiment packets do you steal when sneaking a cup of meat out of a buffet? Have you ever had gainful employment for longer than 6 months?

Tony BigCharles is the vaguely ethnic looking white supremacist paranoid schizophrenic low stakes live no limit player right? I have a shrine built to him in my heart.

I don't watch enough Trooper vlogs and I'll never eat at a buffet again.

Longest I've been gainfully employed is my current job at 14 months. And I'm going to turn 40 this year. I've worked probably 6 or 7 years total in my life. Been homeless sleeping in a toyota corrolla and a van and I currently live in my grandma's spare bedroom. Definitely feels like I have a lot in common with these wackpackers.

So I see these guys that are getting all this ridicule and I think to myself, why should I be different?

Good questions, Rich. I've read some of your blog and recall watching at least one video that you made some years ago. I would advise against becoming a poker vlogger. If you do decide to do it, I would advice against visiting this thread ever again, as the comments here will be needlessly cruel.

Thanks, and firstly let me say thank you for your detailed response, much appreciated!

Now, challenge accepted! I'm starting a poker vlog and I'll be back here. I doubt I'll even be brought up, my vlog will be out of LA!

The gold standard of poker vloggers is probably Andrew Neeme. Other top contenders include Brad Owen, Jaman Burton, and Jeff Boski. Jake Cody did a good job for a while but made only 22 videos. It turns out it takes a lot more time and effort to record and edit these videos than most people realize, so a lot of people try it for a while but don't keep up with it. Another vlogge

None of the vloggers you mention really have any pizzazz. No offense. Neeme was first, Owen is a bit more personable and Jaman is a good editor. But, all of these vloggers are sort of monotonous and dull. I like Mariano's vlogs and GaryB does a good job too. You have to have a delivery with energy. You have to perform and project, not just on youtube but in real life. And I don't mean you have to be a clown or court jester but have the confidence in your actions and play it up to its fullest performance. Project yourself. Life is a stage.

Can I narrate entertaining poker hands on camera with my own unique perspective and analysis? Will others enjoy watching? I think so!

Let me selectively quote from one of your recent posts:

I think I'm showing a level of humility and self-awareness there in my post that wackpackers could never. I'm not saying those things so that they can remain the same, so that others can emulate and follow my awesome example, but rather I'm saying it out loud and, on the internet, so that I can change. No one is perfect.

I'm okay with getting roasted. Public scrutiny is a good way to regulate bad behaviors, and I have enough self-confidence to be able to disregard public sentiment when I think I'm right.

by agamblerthen

Who's in the whack pack? These are the top four; there are others:Tim Watts: (aka The Trooper): A failed poker player who's nonetheless very arrogant. He and his girlfriend/wife live in a nice apartment, but no one knows how they can afford their lifestyle.Zach somebody (aka Vegas Poker Nomad, aka Rice Is a Spoon Food): An Ivy League and law school graduate and a failed poker p

Maybe we should not be so harsh to judge these people then.

Here's one thing I've learned only very recently and it should have came to me much sooner. Never give unsolicited advice. It's just never a good idea, the person won't receive in the manner in which you intend. Also it shows a level of something going wrong in your own life to get pissed off at someone else, especially a stranger on the internet, for not making the best decisions with their life.

Matthew 7:3-5
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

by agamblerthen

So the question is, would you come across on camera more like Andrew Neeme and Jake Cody or more like The Trooper, Fat Zach, Pman, and TBC? If it's the latter, then what possible motivation could you have for subjecting yourself to such scrutiny and criticism, where what you look and sound like and everything you say and do, whether it's poker-related or not, gets picked apart

I'll come across as me. You've already said it yourself, I'm a winning poker player. I have a full time job, I'll be doing this the rest of my free time pretty much.

I think the main thing that makes a poker vlog successful is to focus on the poker hands themselves. AND I think the other thing is the player involved. Their personality needs to jump off the screen, and their skill level needs to be much higher than the audience. Can I do those things??

Thank you buddy, I hope you'll watch and enjoy.

What is the link to Chip Wynn's youtube?

I recommend Chip obtain a 24 hour drive in ten by twenty foot storage unit some good deals in North Las Vegas.

Also recommended to get the $199 Summer Nomadic Frontier pass and do the Diamond tier match in Atlantic City.


Does anyone watch Leahhatespoker? She must be fabricating things about her bankroll. She claims it is $7kish and she is trying to get to $10k. She just played WSOP in Prague. Now she is coming to Vegas for the summer. To play tournaments. How? Does she have a second tournament bamkroll? A sugar daddy backing tournaments?

Watched 5 minutes of one video.

She’s Euro Abby Merk.


If Corey Eyring were more consistent in making videos, why wouldn't he qualify for the Wack Pack?

Poster "agamblerthen" has an outdated, pre-covid "read" of this thread. Back when it was mostly about Trooper poker vlogging. It's not that "deep" anymore. We don't crack jokes to feel better about ourselves. Have u ever cracked jokes with people about a comedy u watched? This thread is just comedy about comedy. Homeless vloggers were not really made fun of bc they were homeless. It was about them being God's gift to poker while not being able to climb out of 1/2 poker. That is funny. A lot of replies in the thread have told u that u don't fit that wack pack "ideal". Good luck with the vlog. Will definitely sub.

James Urbanic (aka PmanPrays): A wannabe poker player who almost never plays, had one lucky score in the WSOP employee event 2 years ago, but is otherwise a losing player who is very deluded about his abilities and prospects. He lives in a nice condo, but no one knows how he can afford it.

I tend to not post about pman as find him boring af BUT everyone knows how he can afford his condo. His Dad! Freeloading off his Dad is one of the central themes of Pman and facilitating his sons degen behaviour is a fair criticism of PDad


by Stu Ungar

Agree. TBC is definitely in the ‘Fab 4’.

Anyone here with Photoshop skills?

Would love to see a Mt. Rushmore re-creation with Rice, Trooper, Pman and TBC..

You don't need photoshop these days. If you find pictures or take screen shots from YouTube videos of their faces then ask AI to generate Mt. Rushmore image I'm sure it'll do a good job. It would be funny as hell!


by iwasbanned

Use whack (with an 'h') for striking, hitting, or a loud noise.
Use wack (no 'h') to describe something bad or eccentric.

I prefer whack because it's what all these vloggers' lives are out of.


by angle_shooter

Casino Nomad has to be a bonafide member at this point. Any doubts that remained have been erased by his recent uploads and live streams. One thing that we all seem to agree on is that Rice is the Supreme Leader and MVP of the whack pack.

MVP? Diesel is of value?


by Burdzthewurd

He has a hot (imo) blond girlfriend.

He's the MVP of the wack pack... that's not a compliment.


*** NEWS FLASH***


Casino Nomad had a few drinks and decided to reveal his GF aka 'financial advisors' forehead.

SPECULATION:

- Is not middle aged, looks to be mid 20s
- Definitely SE asian, but not 100% that she is of filipino descent.
- Thai?
- No hover hands, he has her close.

Total April rent $2169 which is more than I pay for a 1BD with two parking spaces.


I don't think I can handle Casino Nomad Henry anymore. he has no sense.

he lost $2K gambling in April (same amount in March, February, and January too I believe...)
then he says he was chasing his losses trying to get that under $2K, and at one point was another $1K in the hole before miraculously climbing out to only -$18

I don't know how he has a girlfriend. guess there's hope for everyone.

(well, except Zach and pchild)


I am sure if diesel or Pman wanted to, they could get Filipino gfs in Vegas if they put in minor effort, which to them would be Herculean.

My question is where does financial advisor live that’s 30 minutes outside of Vegas and will still meet up with CN in Laughlin seemingly every time he’s down there? Boulder City?

CN is spending this much and is still so hard up for comps he now has to go to Reno, this is not going to end well and it’s going to end fast. No way CN can even go back to living in an actual residence that he pays rent for, after using his rent money to shoot dice for more than a year.

I went and got filipino food for the first time last weekend. Customers ahead of my was a 70+ year old white man and his filipina wife, who looked to be early 30s/late 20s. A bit rough on the eyes but pretty good for gramps

Fortunately the only person he seems to be hurting is himself (no kids, no alimony etc) but he's a very sad character and is using the positive feedback from his viewers as an affirmation of his choices. Says he's much happier since starting the channel, but keeping the channel going is an excuse to keep gambling.


by JoseJohnnyJimJack

The Wack Pack is pretty sorry if TBC is too elite for Wack Pack membership.

Btw, guys, it's Wack, not Whack. I don't want to have to 911-call spelling policeman Rice to correct you. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

That could be funny.

Tinder/Bumble/yougettheidea was invented with precisely people like them in mind.

But the V is for Valuable.


If Trooper had this system that he claims wouldn't he tell his girlfriend /shared bankroll so they could cover twice the machines in the same amount of time ?

Only reason not to would be if you are only really in it for the buzz of the machine?

There's a guy that's been at many of my same tables. That's gonna happen when 94% of the Horseshoe regs are trying to play 150 hours for a freeroll. This guys seems basically normal, has no protruding disgusting growths, speaks normally, and acts normal as far as I can tell. Except that he's "in love" (his words) with a Mexican gal that abuses and cheats on him. He calls her "voluptuous", but is just plain fat, from the pic he showed me. He's white enough to be on the Boston police force. Although nobody asked him, he unloads all this stuff on the table. Cheaper than a headshrinker, I guess. Which he also has.

Trying to determine the age of a SE Asian female is almost impossible. They are pretty much the same from 20 to 60 something, then they instantly transform into ancient mama-san.


Who’s this condor guy that Rice keeps talking about? Another dealer? Rice seems to be really into him.
