He's posted his lifetime stats in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEyREARvI4Y&t=369s

Averaged out across all rooms it is $13.21/hr, zero benefits. I guess the Caesars Diamond is a sort of a benefit with the cheaper housing cost, but still, $13.21/hr.

It's even worse because Diesel pauses his clock every time he gets up from the table, uses the bathroom, switches casinos, so he's actually worked maybe 20% more hours than recorded in the sheet. That would mean his true hourly if counting like any other job is somewhere in the $10/hr range, again no benefits.

Alright so he have actually posted his lifetime stats, that did pass me by i have to admit.

My general impression of Diesel is that he posts extremely detailed stuff on smaller parts of his volume, like for example 3 weeks there or his summer trips to Californa during WSOP- wich has the impact that its clouds his actuall results. Its like he is stirring the soup so much that its hard to gauge whats it really tastes like.

Ignore that part about the lifetime stats of my post Squid, thanks.

Rice will not show his 2023 stats, mainly because he had a terrible year.
I doubt he made much more than $7/hr in 2023.

Correct

Ark - thank you for digging that up. It appears to be vegas pokerz only. It looks like approx 7k over over 11 years. I am curious how many hours per year he is logging. Does any one know if he has any actual year end totals for hours logged for any calendar year?

this lack of info has my interest levels elevated to exactly 7.1172 out of 10

Of course he does. He might have mentioned it in a video, but I'm not going to look for it.

Squid:
In this video he says his best year for hours played was 1794 in 2019 and he says he broke that in 2022.

In a recent video, Rice mentioned he played mid 1500 hours in 2023.
He said his hours were down because of all the bad run outs he had.
Rice will not mention his monetary results for 2023 thou.
Rice had a bad year in 2023, which is mainly why he won't divulge the $ numbers.

Somewhere he posted his best year was 22,700 i believe in 2021 or 2022 but i dont remember where, while trying to back and look in this thread i came across when we found his linkedin profile and it was all about how he was actually the best but got screwed over, so funny

Rice has in his LinkedIn page how he got screwed over ??
If so, omfg !!

I wonder if T got a rakeback.

What's even weirder is that he saved the last bite of the hotdog also and keeps it with his other mementos and bags of rice in his car.

2019 he made 26k and in 2022 I thought he played the same hours and made 22k. I assume he did ok in 2020 and 2021 but he made under 10k in 2023 and now he is in full blown - boil your shoes to eat - panic mode.

Also, saw he only made 3300 total in dividend payments for all of 2022, probably should have kept that stock he said was performing too well and needed to dump it for more dividends. Gotta love diesel, he’s like the patron saint of grinders, if he just got a 400 hour winning month we could all cheer and close this thread because there would be no more relevant vlogs to comment on.

Diesel would of course be in critical condition because he took a wrong turn in the mgmg parking garage and was put in a coma by the feral cats, but he lives on as an immortal grinder because of the 400 hour month.

Where did he say he won 26k in 2019? I distinctly remember him posting what I thought was his best year and it was 22,700 or 23,700

The vlog that is posted above me, “a year of poker hours” he said he made 28k in NL and lost 2k in mixed games bringing his total to 26k.

I assume since games were incredible 2020-22 he made roughly 20k a year until 2023 where he played less hours, games were tougher, and the skill gapped increased leaving diesel to make 11k or less and now he’s eating single cream cheese packets to survive but at least he learned how to iso-raise, small victories.

Ahh I see nice, I did not know that I really could’ve sworn he said before his best year was the 22,700 2022 I believe.

I mean they could all be fake numbers, I’m just believing them at face. Diesel said he loves to look over his spreadsheets and his CET/mgm reward accounts because he likes to read the numbers, we are not discussing a normal human.

What are the chances that he really made 40k and claimed only the lower amount on yootoob so he wouldn't have to pay taxes?

Yes it's pure hilarity. Using his metrics he is 3 times more willing to continue playing on in the face of run-bad than 98% of other poker players. Yet from what we have seen the exact opposite is true.

He has a mental breakdown if he loses a single buy-in. If he goes for more than a day or so winning less then what he expects he should be winning then he needs to get away from the poker tables. He takes refuge in his room with all the comforting sights, sounds and smells of old Trooper videos and sardine slurry simmering in the rice cooker.

Zero !!

Imagine his reaction if he received a weekly paycheck from McDonald’s.

Someone asked Diesel if he had a stop win or stop loss in the comments section.

"No stop win. I guess there's a stop loss but it almost never comes into play. I rarely play while down 3 buy-in's, but that also almost never happens." - Diesel

Does Diesel realize rarely being stuck 3 (holding three fingers up in real life in the shocker formation) buy ins isn't the brag he thinks it is?

Awesome. At the end of the video, Trooper is hand chopping cashews without gloves and you get a close up of his dry cracked skin on his hands. If only there was a kitchen appliance that could coarsely chop nuts like a food processor or something.

Who wants some cashew brittle???

Yeah it never happens because he always quits after being down just 1 buy-in, but hey he's living in a fool's paradise.

Apologies to anyone who looks at this when eating

I mean in his defense, the 3 buy in rule is solid. i personally have a 3.66 buy in rule (buy .66 the 4th time because i know my mentality is to get it in by the flop at this point) . I have a hard stop for gambling when this happens unless jimmy changra type is at my table.
