Even if he did play 2/5 he would probably make more money dealing.

He's still going to have to play to keep up his comp rate. He'd probably play more 2/3 for the double tier credits. But he would make enough at dealing to live on and would only play for comps. If you thought he was nitty before, imagine if he was only going for net zero.

He will struggle getting in the hours to make diamond while working full time, particularly with the amount he likes to jump around properties.

Surely if he is dealing full time he should be able to afford more stable housing and not be so reliant on comps for rooms/food/drinks etc

Diesel is a huge disappointment to all us 1/2 nl grinders just trying to avoid the man and his total disregard of the rubric

In today's Diesel vlog, it's ASMR time with you getting to hear heaving breathing from the extreme physical exertion that comes from walking.

Had to cut it short today.

yeah we should take a bunch of his quotes and say it back to him while we are grinding at his table. I'm glad he got some steady income though. it's best for him

ohh I got the first line to tell him.

if he is dealing a 2-5 game and you sit there


"Good to see finally made 2-5 Diesel"

I have trouble with my paperwork . I am legal in the USA but can't get a sheriff's card because I can't produce a green card and I can't get a replacement one unless I fix paperwork in the country I was born in. my license doesn't even have my first name. just the letter C. I don't tell this story much but I got kicked out of Seton hall and my merryl lynch internship when I was 18 because my social did not match. that's how I started gambling for a living. By the time I fixed my permanent residency here I was 27/28 and was already gambling for almost 10 years. I am in the process of getting that fixed so hopefully in 2/3 years I'll be able to deal part time possibly.

It will be interesting to see if Rice continues being such a scrooge and a tightwad with his money once he has a decent income dealing poker. I suspect that he absolutely will. Some people just enjoy being miserly, regardless of how much they have.

Any sort of benefits for a dealing gig like this? I’m assuming no health insurance or 401k program but will he get any paid days off, free chocolate milk, etc?

I really liked your commentary. I don't think most of the Youtube audience really wants in depth or high level strategy though, which is unfortunate because thats what I prefer. They just want big pots and chip porn. Theres some crushers on twitch and youtube who get no views, meanwhile the most viewed channels are shitregs. Just the way it goes I guess. If you find that you dont get views, you may have to dumb down your content, which really is too bad.

Do you still play plo? I remember you from way back in the day, last I heard of you I think you were grinding 6 card plo or something. Hope to see a plo vlog from you in the future.

He is a temp dealer so no benefits I would think, but most poker dealers get access to free food in the employee dining room for at least 1 meal per shift plus all the fountain drinks, coffee, etc. they want. I would think The Orleans offers that, but don't know.

I guess we will know when El Diesel talks about the free food he gets with a big grin on his face.

I agree with 5x easily.
Maybe 7-8x what he's made the last 2 years.

While he for some odd reason feels the need to track his play to the exact minute including bathroom breaks he also spends a lot of time casino hopping. When he sees he can probably make 25-30 dollars an hour dealing and pick up a lot of extra hours I doubt he leaves. Well unless of course he's somehow slighted by the entire poker room who won't recognize him as the best at everything in life.

o/u when Diesel gets fired for packing up boxes of food to go from employee dining?

Orleans definitely has food for their employees.Boyd also treats their employees well so it's probably actually good.I'm not even sure he knows this yet. He's going to be in all of his glory making "snow" angels with mashed potatoes on the floor.

sound issues are gone and sounds great

i think this is a big improvement over the the previous in all facets

love how you don't just talk pure strat but also give the narratives behind it as well - will be subbing

I guess the Baluchistan pygmy jerboa motel he wore on his chin was not a deterrent.

He hasn't bowed to the Man yet. Let's see how long he lasts.

A couple of bucks in your pocket is a huge motivator for mere mortals.

Maybe a fiscal demigod can resist.

Do casino poker dealers also work floor games if needed?

Usually no. It's totally separate departments

At real casinos? No.

Free food is one of the most amazing perks. That's the one thing Amazon had going for it, a decent free self serve Indian place.

Well it wasn't technically free, I just never paid. Allegedly. I have zero regrets.

However this could spell doomsday for El D's waistline. I'd speculate +10lbs after first four weeks

Filling up a cup of meat and trying to give it to other dealers while they're working might pose a problem.

Really happy for Diesel getting this dealing job. Huge step in the right direction to financial stability and because of that mental stability. As much as we hate on his bad decisions I have to give him props for finally taking a positive action.

I might have to come out for WSOP this year and pepper him with questions on the music being played, or Trooper or 80s Mets trivia.

Though I guess I only play cash and I don't think Orleans lets the temp dealers deal cash.

Agreed. Now lets see if he is able to finish this planned work period for like 4-6 weeks, and actually log the hours like he have been talking about and not coming up with lame excuses/lol rationale to quit.
