Chef El Diesel is back at it again. This time taking advantage of a proper kitchen he has to share with multiple other guests at an Airbnb. He must feel like a King having access to such modern conveniences even for a brief moment, instead of relying solely upon a rice cooker in the bathroom.

This has got to be some of the most dry looking meatloaf I've ever seen. And who makes meatloaf and mash potato without some gravy?

He has never been trained or dealt before but he knows one thing, he wants as many double shifts as possible. I wouldn't wish a double shift in a busy room on my worst enemy. lol

Many years ago when I dealt, one of my days was Saturday night 6pm to 2am, but the degens would never leave in this busy room and that would routinely turn into 6pm to 6am or sometimes 7am when the morning shift came in. It was hell that day, but made good money.

And of course this is all talk, he'll never actually work a regular job if he doesn';t have to.

.....acquired from a buffet. El Diesel might lack basic necessities but there is no way he doesn't own several packets of every condiment known to man.

Not sure why no mention of dealing the actual WSOP, unless I missed it when skimming.

He also mentions how people love when he makes the 3-finger sign as he does it. Do people mention that in the comments, or just here?

I think he gave up on the idea of WSOP because someone said they don't allow beards. Orleans overall pay would be a lot higher if they give you a room every day. It's like an extra 40 or 50 bucks a day and that's not including resort fee.

When it comes to volume (hours), people vastly overestimate their ability to work.
Rice will never start, and if by some small chance he does, he'll quit, and come up with a conspiracy theory on how they forced him out, because he was the best dealer in the joint.

Hence why Rice is fantasizing over dealing there. As a homeless Nomad, Rice has a raging hard-on for cheap/discounted rooms, let alone free!

My hunch is he goes to Phoenix for a week or two, doesn't like the games because there's too much action, and goes scurrying back to Vegas.
Lots of assumptions on my part.

Based o a very small sample size, they are a lot more competent there than in Vegas. That was Talking Stick. Never played at the new Wild Horse, just the old one near the freeway.

I would kinda like to see that. That's entertainment!

I'm starting to feel bad for rampage tbh. Question guys. How do you think he can afford to lose so much ? Is it

A) he's staked and has very little of his own money on the table

B) he earns an insane amount of money from all his referrals

C) rich parents

D) crypto

E) a combination of the above

At least we can count on Rampage to tell us how he lost his money and tell us about some poker hands.

Does he delete comments and ban people? People rip him in the comment section so he doesn’t seem to be obsessively policing his own comment section.

There is no way he's making more than $8/hr strictly from poker and not including in promo money. It's not a surprise he plays enough hours twice a week at Horseshoe to qualify for their "freeroll" tourney. I'm sure he'll use the excuse well I pay into the promo fund so the money I earn back counts as poker income which while true, it's the bulk of his income.

It's not a shock that he hates Bellagio (non promo room) and doesn't play at any other non promo room besides Caesars cause he earns double tier/double comps which helps offset his lifestyle.

I remember in one of his early videos he said he made $11.66 an hour in Vegas low stakes games, which was lower than what he made anywhere else. I can’t remember how many hours that was, but a lot of those results happened when rake in Vegas was lower and players were at least a little bit worse.

I always thought higher rake would affect people like him the most, so it shocked me when he said he didn’t worry about higher rake.

El Diesel was friendly to me when I asked him questions on a couple of different occasions. I wasn’t praising him or hating on him; was just curious and he responded.

I rarely leave comments on his videos though.

I'm not aware of any indication that he had family money to start of with when he was coming up playing live 1/3 and 2/5

I think he just ran insanely hot at the right time and he had the balls to run it up and play higher and higher stakes. I assume that now when he plays he would be heavily staked to limit his risk.

Affiliate patches, links on videos, other advertising and branding he does let’s say another $100k

Poker bros club is RAKING. I don’t know exact figures but this thing is enormous. Multiple 6 figures per year.

This is all before poker. The guy can afford to drop $100k on a livestream occasionally.

In today's video I learned that when ranking a poker table from 0 to 10, you need to always use 2 decimal places, it's just polite. In his example his table was 4.12 out of 10. lol

He also says it's not worth it to seat change in Las Vegas, he only did this twice all of last year, to get a better view or something. lol

He also seems to think they're great players to the point he struggles against them at 1-3. Yep, so many wizards at the 1-3. Maybe at Wynn and Aria since the cap is $500 and does bring in better grinders but great players???
