Really, had not seen that, but ....

I would bet Ebony, by TKO, by the end of the 5th round, if the fight takes place by January 31, 2023, in Las Vegas, at Caesars. She would be at least a 2-1 favorite overall.

So Feather is gonna be 2-3 for the week.

And not sure what is up with Trooper's score keeping, he has had 3-3 on the scoreboard for last week. I am pretty sure Feather had a bonus pick that he said was not included in the fade/feather picks, and that one won. So first week should be 2-3 on the scoreboard making him 4-6, assuming Minnesota doesn't make a Mia/Ariz/NYJ type come back.

Feather had the Bills Thursday night, 3-3 is correct.

Unsurprising goals update from the Diesel:

• Playing tons of hours at 1/2? Check
• Taking shots at 2/5 or improving at poker/winrate? Uncheck

Excuse me for only skimming the thread, but we have people here that actually believe El Diesel has 100k saved from playing $11-12/hr, 1/2 NL?

Sick.

Could be some pre poker pro money. He seems close to his Dad and seems to be giving him financial advice. Could be getting shares, just a pure guess. I'm sure he was already very stingy pre poker and probably already had some saved up.

....but 50% of the 100k coming from poker is feasible because he says that he saves 13k per year after taxes and he turned pro in 2015 (where he just broke even) and 2016. Probably zero action in 2020 due to Covid.

He said he files as a pro which makes sense considering his low income and all of the expenses he can dedcut especially as he drives a lot.

He probably made out really well in 2020 due to covid unemployment.

Trooper rambles on in his latest vlog as pr usual. Acting like a child claiming he could easily lose weight going on a donut+pizza only diet. That may or may not be true,but what you put in your mouth is of course also a health question,not strictly a weight question. How your body is doing on the inside when you only put garbage into it.

This is a forty-something year old man literally acting like a 14 yo..... He has got some serious, unresolved issues.

The only thing that rivals the crap that Tim puts into his mouth is the crap that comes out of his mouth is every vlog he releases.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Lol,that is indeed pretty funny.

For sure, he has been able to contribute 13k per year in poker winnings for at least 4 years. That would be 52k. Add the possible covid unemployment benefits plus possibly some family money and pre-poker savings from work, then having a 6 figure investment fund is almost a sure thing.

The only way that I could see El Diesel having a six figure bankroll is if he had a substantial percentage of that before he started playing poker.

I don't doubt that he is a winning player over a long period of time...but making $12 or so an hour? Fast food workers can make significantly MORE than that working the fryolator.

If El Diesel has graduated from an accredited law school, with just a LITTLE bit of work & luck, he could probably get a job doing "document review". Document review in the Midwest can EASILY pay $25 and hour (maybe even up to $27/hr.) if you are a licensed attorney in good standing with at least 1 state bar. If you are just a law school graduate (not passing a bar exam), you will have a more difficult time finding work, but it can be done. You won't make the big money that licensed attorneys will make, but you could make AT LEAST $20 an hour, maybe even a bit more than that!

In the "before times", you would usually have to go into a central office to do the document review. Now? Most document review is done remotely. You have to have a good internet connection and a suitable computer. That should not be a problem for El Diesel.

It is difficult to get 2,000 hours a year as a doc reviewer....at least at first. If you are diligent and work hard, with a bit of luck, you should be able to get close to 2,000 hours a year after 6 months or so of good work. El Diesel could do doc review in the morning and afternoon. At night? HIT THE POKER TABLES. He would also be putting his education to work too.

Unfortunately, the days of document are probably going to get worse as time progresses. Law firms are automating and the need for actual humans reviewing has gone down through the years. 3-4-5-6 years from now? There might only be 1/2 of reviewers needed (as compared to today). So you got to make the $$$$ while you can.

Just my thoughts!

The maximum El Diesel's poker pro winnings could have contributed to his investment fund would probably be 60k. He said that, as a pro, he averages 13k a year to add to his savings. He only broke even his first year. I don't know what he did during the lockdowns, or if he made dough off it from the government.

If he had dividend stocks worth 60k the last five years you can add anywhere from 10k to 40k. Stocks paying close to 5% dividend until a recent 20% downturn, appreciated substantially in addition tothe dividend.

Dumb questions:

1) If El Diesel went to prelaw and then to law school, how does he not have huge outstanding loans. Unless, his parents paid for it.

2) With all that education, how can he think $13/hour is acceptable.

2) According to his math, if he just got a menial job right out of high school, couldn't he have retired at 30 or earlier?

He could be regional manager of Mcdonald's by now and maybe even own a franchise Mcdonald's. Plus all the free food he would have gotten all these years.

Or maybe Assistant to the regional manager.

Watched el diesels lastest vlog, hes really not playing all that much to make up for the fact that he is playing 1-2. He said he played 199 hours last month, not all that much really, to justify his whole thing he has to play 250 every month. I dont know any live low stakes grinders but imagine thats not that out of the ordinary.

Also i really really dont think theres much of a difference in skill from 1-2 to 2-5,i really think its mostly the increase in dollar amount. And the fact that you pay like 1.5 bbs per big pot vs 4bbs per big pot really adds up, especially when you are predominately waiting to cooler people and playing the way he plays. Which playing super tight at 1-2 or 2-5 is a fine strategy, its not going to make the most in my opinion, but it is a natural reaction to everyone playing way too lose. For him to go from 7ish bb an hour to 1.8 bb an hour seems unlikely to me, hed prob win at least 20 an hour. One thing that happens as you move up stakes and this is true for live and online, the rake decreases, at 25nl its like 20bb/100 hands, at 5-10 its like 2.6bb/100. Live the 1-2 games are 4bbs per big hand, 5 or 6 bucks for rake, 1 or 2 dollars for promo or bbj, dollar for a tip, if you tip more then its more, it adds up quick. 5-10 live its usually like 7 to 9 dollars a half hour time rake, way less money comes off the table relative to stack sizes. Also at 1-2, most pots are played under the rake cap, meaning they are raked harder than 2-5 games, where most hands are capped out at like 50-60$ i believe, so they pay the max rake alot, but every dollar over that is not raked

Da hell? McDonalds over here is offering $19.25/hr: https://www.salary.com/job/mcdonald-...medium=organic

Do they seriously pay law school grads $20/hr to read stuffs?

of course,you cant do it,duh,like,everyone,knows.

Demand for McDonalds workers is high. Supply of people willing to work at McDonalds is low.

Demand for grads to read stuff is shrinking. Supply of people with useless law degrees is high.

I have no idea what a doc reviewer is, but why do I get the feeling I'd be sticking a gun in my mouth after 20 hours of doing it (let alone 2000 hours)?

Gnothatin',justsayin'G

It's almost to the point, low stakes grinders are a myth, nowadays.
