We all like to throw shots at El Diesel ...
That said, I'm giving kudos to El Diesel for somehow being able to squeak ($14.50/hr) out a profit playing $1/2, $1/3 poker. I can't do it, and neither can you. El Diesel has gotta be in the top 1% of profitable live low low stakes grinders. The rake is an absolute killer nowadays.
Are there any $4 max rake games left in the country? I'm guessing 95% of us don't even have access to a $5 max rake (rake plus promo drop) game anymore? I'm playing in games nowadays where the rake+promo drop is $8 plus. I'm barely beating these games for Cheeseburger money, and I'm often the only player leaving the table up. I don't know about you, but high rake has taken the fun out of live poker for me.
One 4+ hour session of live poker, and I don't want to see a poker table for a week. Yet somehow, week in, and week out El Diesel averages 40/hrs a week playing poker, making a $14.50/hr living at it.
I don't know how he can dust himself off, day after day and hit the tables.
Kudos for his stamina.
