Seemed like the average "nerd" who found poker, maybe binked something, and thought he was smarter/better at poker than he was.

Nice enough guy, but you can only run from results for so long.

Yeah, surprised he hasn't even made at least an instagram update for his vlog subscribers/viewers as a courtesy to them for following him now that he's in Florida. Talking about Florida weather isn't much of one.

He is history, move on folks.

So he's stopped posting, he doesn't live in Las Vegas--close the thread. It's not even a Trip Report. If he starts vlogging again he can post in the Vlog thread. IMHO.

The kid looked like he was dehydrated and starving to death. He really shouldn't be wasting his time vlogging when he is moments away from becoming a corpse.

Am I missing something about unsubscribing from people's YT? You seem to mention it a lot and I don't think I have ever done it. Outside of a random email about new videos going up I can't think of a downside to subscribing to a channel I don't really follow anymore. Especially one that isn't putting out new content, so not even an email comes about the channel.

Am I doing it wrong?

And you should stop wasting your time trolling the vloggers like you do. You really have a lot of growing up and maturing to do. Bikeking19 is light years more mature than you buddy.

I totally agree with this. I'm pretty sure an inactive channel doesn't even appear in your feed (at least not the top) if it's been a while since that channel has had any activity or unless you're subbed to like five channels total. I think it's the satisfaction of permanently disconnecting someone you no longer care about or like from your life, kind of like unfriending an acquaintance from school that you haven't talked to for years. When I'm bored/card dead playing poker sometimes I go through my Facebook feed and either unfollow or unfriend a lot of people. It's fun!

I met OP last year. Based on what I've been hearing about his poker results, I genuinely hope that he has a full time job making real money with career potential instead of grinding 1/2 without a backup which is a horrible waste of someone's life IMO. Poker will be there next year, the year after that and for years to come.

+1 to this. Based on what I've seen this guy post in LLSNL, all he seems to do is criticize other people while adding little or no value to any thread he posts in.

Most jobs are a complete waste of life so poker is no different. I actually find partying it up with the degens during the graveyard shift to be quite leisurely.

I was hard on you in LLSNL because you are a 1/3 player offering GTO theory advice in low stakes, which the games don't apply. You can beat 2/5 playing ABC, so the fact you are stuck at 1/3, where the games play small, tells me you have glaring leaks. I don't need to point out the fancy play syndrome, we can save it for the strategy forum.

Banned from one thread for the same type of post.

I should have the right to voice small criticisms. You could also develop either a sense of humor or a little bit thicker skin.

I dealt with much harsher insults than that. I'm ready to keep things civil

Neeme has a nice guy personality of someone you want to have drinks with.

Trooper subconsciously reminds people of Muhammad Ali by the way he stares, his general demeanor, the way he talks, his expressions and his motions.

Jaman has a good manufactured thing with his Bieber gimmick, and he is just a clear good guy.

Doug Polk knows how to do the controversy game well.

Bikeking had the nerd look, and it was genuine. He probably should have flaunted it by dressing the part and by exaggerating his nerdy mannerisms. Maybe, it's not too late for this. There is an empty niche out there for a poker nerd that needs to be occupied. I'm not saying that he should go Pee Wee Herman. What I'm saying is that he should exaggerate what he already is and does.

Bikeking should probably go for a 5 video comeback and see how it goes.

So he quit? Gave up? Come on Andrew tell us what happened.

Please link one instance of me advocating that we should be playing GTO at 1/3. I am exploitative AF. Although GTO is good to know and can be applied in tough spots vs good TAGs (hardly ever), I almost never play GTO and try to exploit as much as possible.

I agree that you can beat 2/5 playing ABC. Although probably not for more than 5 bb/hr since any good player won't pay off your big hands and in Vegas half the table is good players usually. Beating 2/5 for 10 bb/hr will require some of that "FPS".

The bolded statement shows that you are (most likely unjustifiably) cocky and also presumptuous. I played online poker full time for 18 months and have played probably 2k hours live. Over the last 1250 hours since I've taken live poker more seriously and actually played full time in Vegas, my win rate at 1/2 and 1/3 have been more than OK despite suffering a horrible 250 ish hour break even stretch this WSOP. I've played some 2/5 and 5/5 and have done fine.

But more important than win rates over a somewhat "insignificant sample" is how you match up to your opposition. In the 1100 hours or so of 1/2 and 1/3 since May 2017, there's been maybe 4 or 5 players I've encountered that I felt were comparable or better than me. Everyone else I assume is trash. And they really are. Even the grinders. From simple things like paying off nits when it's a clear fold to bet sizings (wtf is a $15 raise over 2 limpers at 1/3) to not topping off their stack to $300 when they have $200 in front of them, they are just bad and I genuinely think that I am one of the best regs at 1/2 or 1/3 in Las Vegas (not that it takes much to get to this point). I've played some 2/5 last summer and 5/5 in LA. There are many players in those games that are better than me, but there's enough fish for me to beat it for at least 5 bb/hr IMO. I'm playing lower now because school costs way more than it should.

Perhaps you should focus more on improving your game than talking trash on 2+2. Who are you anyways? Where do you play and what's your main game? Have you ever posted a graph?

I'm not sure what BK is doing these days, but I don't think poker is going well for him. I haven't followed any recent vlogs but didn't he get to a point where he had 2k left to his name after that bank incident? I'm not saying he needs to stop vlogging, but what he definitely needs to do is make money away from the casino. He can still play and vlog occasionally, but with that thin of a "bankroll" it's time to put poker on the back burner.

Which rooms in Vegas have you been playing in?

Aria Wynn Caesar's are the rooms I've been playing the most in recently. Why do you have a good idea of who I am based on the HHs I've been posting?

I have no idea who you are lol. I haven’t played at Caesar’s recently and haven’t played at Wynn that much recently. I’ve been at Aria though. I was a little curious because players are so bad at that level and you would probably stand out if I saw you.

Maybe we play at different times. Also since you said "that level" I'm assuming your main game isn't 1/3.

I'm surprised Bikeking's car could make it all the way to Florida. Trooper just traded in his car for a new one. Bikeking should probably do the same if he decides to get back to the West Coast. If you travel in your home, you lose two things if it stops functioning: your home and your vehicle.

Depends. If it breaks down at a beach parking lot you can now brag about having ocean front property... at least until the tow truck comes.

But on a more serious note I hope Bikeking is ok. Seems like a good guy and would be nice to see him turn things around.

Yeah, I'm surprised Bike drove it that far on a low auto repair budget. No way he'd risk driving that thing back to Vegas. That's all she wrote for Bike. He finally learned his variance lesson about the daily tourneys he had switched to playing in Vegas. The guy was too lazy to stick it out and get a bankroll-building full-time job in Vegas. Or maybe he knew another real bankroll would eventually disappear too.

New vlog:



He is in Florida now, his car is broken and doesn't expect to go back to Vegas for a while.

really enjoyed his vlogs and watching/reading about the journey he was on - but he always seemed like an ultra nit in the games he played. Maybe due to the fact that he always seemed like he was under rolled but some of the hands he discussed were just brutal.

He really should have just gotten a part time dealer job /server job or whatever and grinded on the side. I was really rooting for him to make it.
