That damn mock trial rubric has haunted him every day since it happened.

20 years of dominating academics. At kindergarten graduation he was voted most likely to succeed.

Lol A+ I still seriously believe Rice got screwed on the mock trial grading and he also has a six figure dividend portfolio that he got as holiday/birthday gifts over the years. Rice just uses poker to pay his living expenses that’s why he’s Diamond plus homeless. Whenever he loses at poker he freaks out because he has to dip into his dividend profits to live, and he wants to always use those payments to buy more of the same crappy dividends.

You're probably just asking a rhetorical question to highlight his unusual turn of phrase but he means he was always top of the class. A pretty dubious claim I would say

I'm sure his answer would be memorable.

I'd ask him myself, but he banned me from his YouTube comments section.

Neither "dominating" poker performance against academics means I am even an average player in the general low-limit poker player population , in Las Vegas or elsewhere.

It’s what dumb people say to make you think they’re smarter than they actually are with zero evidence.

See also “look it up”, “I do the ****ing”.

If you feel the need to tell someone how smart you are, that’s a huge red flag that you’re about to flat out lie to whomever you are speaking to.

This is all on page 2 of the Hamster97 playbook. It’s amazing how much the two are alike.

(fun fact, despite all my trips to Vegas the last 5 years I have never played with, or even seen, El Diesel in person)

Yabut, you crush.

There are probably not many 1/3 players in Vegas winning $20 an hour.

8 bucks an hour at 1/3 even in Vegas games with nitty dynamics is of course not considered a good winrate, even if Diesel is lying to himself by claiming it is. With the game selection possible due to all the different pokerrooms in Vegas, you can basically sit in a good or above average 1/3 game all the hours you put in. That is a massive advantage and a luxury very few players have at their fingertips.

If you are a somewhat solid player that can exploit players tendencies and can execute stuff like a light 3 bet when a good spot presents itself 20 pr hour shouldnt be hard to do at all.

How does one find these games? I've been playing in Vegas on and off for about 20 years, and I seldom find these low stakes games of legend I read about in trip reports.

Of you several thousand hours, how many were in low stake games?

I agree with pretty much your entire post except guys like him aren't lying- they actually believe what they're saying.

He ditched the prius (mechanical issues) for a creepy 'free candy' van and moved to Austin to grind 1/3 short rolled. Last we heard from him.

I like how his third bullet point is "You need to keep track" and how he keeps tracks of lots of stuff cause that's how you can improve. Apparently $14/hr at 1-3 is top tier and he doesn't need to improve cause these people that say 10 bigs an hour is what they make are lying.

It's amazing to live in your own bubble.

lol I didn't watch the video but that is clearly just his own ego talking. Anyone making more then his win rate is just lying apparently.

I have more than 600 hours from Vegas games.

In order to find good games you just have to look for them basically,and be willing to hop around. Tablechange,or casinochange if thats neccessary. Sometimes multiple changes. Way to many players are too lazy to change tables in order to find a good game. Look for people talking and having fun,drinking,people straddling that kind of stuff.

It's almost impossible to make $20 an hour long term at 1/3 nl. Not playing 40-50 hours a week. You would be a crusher at the game if you did.

It's easy when you're playing a limited sample size and you run well, and you're not keeping close track of your actual results.

Anyone that says it's easy has no clue.

Assuming you graduated from college around your early 20s that means you must have been dominating since you were an infant.

I'm not el diesel, I didn't say impossible, I said almost impossible. Play 1/3 nl for 2000 hours in a year and then let me know your hourly rate.

Playing on the side you have the option to not play when games aren't good or you're not in the mood.

Playing full time is a living hell and I don't think anyone other than people like el diesel or tbc that can't hold regular jobs should ever choose it as a career.

Rake is also a big factor why it's extremely difficult to maintain a high hourly.

High rake blah blah blah, 1/3 live is literally the softest form of cash games you will find anywhere.
If you are taking poker seriously $20/hr should be no problem at all.

3 reasons it's an ubsurd thing to say.

1. What % of players are winners at any stake? Let alone 1/3 where rake is much worse.

2. The people saying it's easy haven't played a significant sample of 1/3 in many years. The game has changed and most players dont give their money away. The gamblers play 2/5 or plo now.

3. Vegas is the tightest, nittest players for 1/3 in America. Pick any other city and I'd say yeah 20 is easy. Not here though
