Did the guy record recaps while behind the wheel of a pick-up truck? I vaguely remember a mid-western poker vlogger who make some sort of fuss over the horseshoe statue, and who seemed a bit tilty, or maybe was on a downswing. I would imagine he probably had a moment of clarity and quit, or maybe just never came back after Covid.

I was offered a month of free rooms in 2019 during the WSOP at the Orleans.

Now that they have a celebrity dealer, the rates have doubled.

I had a Macallan instead of Fuji, which I thought cost them more.

He would have to go to Four Queens which never charges resort fees

Rice responds to criticism that he is a nit because he doesn't like playing short handed by saying people don't actually enjoy playing short handed. Out of 100 people who say they enjoy playing short handed only 2 really mean it and the rest are lying apparently.

I must've imagined full ring games practically dying out online many years ago as everyone headed to the short handed games.

Of course the cope and lying to himself is next level when it comes to Rice. Yeah of course 98 out of 100 lie when it comes to how they view shorthanded play, because Rice is a ultra mega scared money nit himself that is shitting himself when he cant fold for hours waiting for KK/AA or flopping a set.

the irony in all this drink voucher fiasco is that diesel himself was the reason it got cut out to poker players. Ramsey's and others were billing milkshakes back to cet at 11 a pop .

The Sasquatch of poker. lol

he is a huge nit obviously which is the main reason he doesn't like short handed. but to be fair tons of recs don't like it either.

It's also not fair to compare live and online. Online is basically comprised of a bunch of regs mass multitabling which zero social aspect. Live is a way different game.
Live people have no patience get bored and play dogshit. Online nobody has to do that bc you're getting so many hands.

was Caesars actually paying the full price? Seems extremely unlikely to me.
seems pretty easy for them to only take them at CET owned places.

I did say earlier in this thread if he's actually the reason this change happened. Some cet executive saw his videos and was like why are we giving vagrant poker players all this free ****.

I agree that many rec players doesent like it either, but they are indeed recs and not a fulltime pro like Rice boasts about being. Like i have different expectations for these two groups. Of course LOL at Rice being a fulltime pro pokerplayer, but just mentioning it.

As DGAF amongst others have talked about alot, the really big winrates is coming from late night shorthanded play with straddles on and stuck players on tilt chasing their losses bluffing it off alot more, stacking off lighter++. But this is a different planet that super nits like Diesel basically doesent know excist because they have never dared to explore these games/game dynamics.

Guessing he never played those 5-max tables at Caesar's in summer 2020- those games were incredible

Big Game episode 2 is up. pretty fun show

absolutely. i love overnights 4-5 handed games. win rates are through the roof.

Amazing, someone should comment about this on Diesel videos and see his brain melt as he comes up with some terrible excuse as he realizes he sliced open his personal golden goose, when he could’ve just made milkshakes in his room with cheap ingredients from the winco.

Also, I don’t knock diesel on the short handed play, because lots of fun players will play super tight when short but then be cold calling 5x squeezes out of the blinds and vpip 100 in 8-10 handed games.

The real problem is diesel doesn’t play as much late night poker as he did when he started the vlog. He was doing much better results wise (for him) in 2021/2022 but in early vlogs he was constantly playing graveyard, now he’s a westgate morning game starter. Doesn’t take BLdSWtTRs to figure out why Diesel hasn’t been winning.

I tried Westgate last week on non Trooper day for the first time, very annoying and odd group of people, left after 30 minutes.

That room was down bad before Timmy ever got there.
