If Rice approached anything resembling 'normal', almost none of us would know who he is.

Law Skool is a funny/crazy thing. As time has passed, it has only gotten progressively more so.

A good rule of thumb is that if a skool is not in the top 20 or so (out of 200), it ain't nothing.

Why is that? The vast majority of firms that hire AND PAY good wages get the vast bulk of their associates from the top 20 skools.

Can you do OK at the 24th best ranked skool? Sure, maybe with a lot of hard work and luck.

Can you do OK at the 80th best ranked skool? Hahaha. You better be in the top 10% of the class AND have something else going on.



A number of years ago, law school was difficult to get into and quite an accomplishment to graduate from.

Fast forward to today, a number of skools are almost open admission! A number of skools have had problems with their ABA accreditation. That is, they are borderline open admission and a shocking percentage of their graduates can't pass a bar exam. This reflects very poorly on the whole system. Why let people in who have no realistic chance to practice law? To help client? To make a decent living?

In the end, it is all about getting students to SIGN ON THE LINE WHICH IS DOTTED. It is important that the money continue to flow in no matter what. Administrators and professors salaries aren't going to pay themselves.

I suspect that it is a similar thing with undergraduate skools. The value of degrees all across the board has plummeted.

Why is Diesel and his pocket bread flying in the first place? Shouldn't he be riding the Greyhound bus like all the other Nomads? He would get a nice comfortable bus seat for 16 hours to San Francisco and 16 hours back to Las Vegas. Only miserable people throw their money away on hotel rooms when you can sit on a bus.

Actually, if you had performed just some cursory research on the competitiveness of law school admissions over the last 10 years, you would have discovered the opposite is true. Law school applications have slowly risen compared to a flat or slightly declining number of spaces available.

A quick search and I found Rice's bolthole

It's now $10 to register for the tournament, which supposedly goes to the dealers, and they still pass the hat for the dealers at the end of the tournament. So it's now a $180 prize.

Here’s a little known fact. Horseshoe can take money from the promo fund to cover any overlays in any tourneys they run, whether it’s the dailies or WSOP circuit events.

Yep, that is a promo, I have never got a definitive answer, but I think most poker rooms use the promo fund for comps also.

Has he considered taking up pai gow to accumulate comps? He’d likely be able to eat better.

this is 100% accurate, there are far more legal degrees handed out each year than

only about half of the people with law degrees end up actually working for a law firm, the rest tend to do some law adjacent stuff like working as an in house council at a firm whose primary role is
not to act as a lawyer but mostly to deal with the law firms on retainer

others take the better call saul approach, and that wasn't a parody, him being broke, living case to case and always looking for a new client and payday is a very typical experience

and then others just give up and do something else like rice

had a buddy who wanted to go to law school but didn't want to leave Boston, he couldn't get into harvard et el so went to suffolk instead - it took him about a year after graduation of getting up every morning, putting on a suit, filling a brief case with copies of his resume, choosing an office building and sneaking in, going to the top floor, looking for a law firm and if not work his way down, stopping at each of them in person and asking to speak to the hiring manager

if any contact was made, he'd look up the person his interview was scheduled on LinkedIn, find anyone who was connected to them that he was connected with and then reach out to those people - no matter how distant his relationship was to them and asked them to reach out to so and so and put in a good word for him

about a year of doing this and he finally got an entry level offer - most people wouldn't have the stamina

This is like a reverse Trooper scam but in this case, Rampage is clearly +ev in tourneys and especially a WSOP field. Fade Rampage in tourneys at your peril. This is a losing proposition long term imo if you're fading.

A friend of mine who was a litigator, had his own office. He told me that no law schools taught you how to be a lawyer in the courtroom. He was pretty successful and had won a big case where his take was over 800 grand, and planning two weeks in Cabo to celebrate.

There are a number of congressmen that went to California-only law schools. They aren't eligible for the regular bar and can only practice in California. Even though they didn't go to high-dollar snooty schools, they had what it takes to succeed.

Yeah... it's a bit like spread betting as has a huge potential downside and with Rampage anything is possible! Would be a brave man to take this bet.

As an aside I wonder how much would be put into escrow for it to go ahead

A fair reply....

Perkins needs to get involved in some bets.

People will be lined up to book at even money that Rampage won't win a WSOP tournament.
Dustin Da Closer will be happy to be the booking agent.

In today's video our hero spends no less than 3.5 minutes giving "shout outs" to literally every person he has spoken to over the last few weeks. Many of which are for people who he doesn't even know their names or weather they even watch his videos or not. Simply crossing paths with Rice is all it takes in order to make it onto his vlog.

And yet somehow there has never been a single mention of his mysterious life-long "best friend" who has seemingly now vanished from this thread just as quickly as he appeared.
