Well considering I’m not rice, you sound pretty absurd. I know for a fact he doesn’t care about any of your opinions. Keep clicking that watch button on YouTube.

If true, then he got a great start in life - high schooler with 5 figure net worth, Ivy League degree, law degree, car, all courtesy of his well-off family. With 0 additions and a 4% rate of return over 19 years, that $40k would grow to $150k. Very impressive and stable genius!

Again, reading comp not a strong suit here. You guys betittle him for caring about losing 200. Why shouldn’t he care? He doesn’t cry like you guys say he does, the videos are proof of that. I merely said he’s wagered 4k on a single game. Wasn’t his unit size. You try to be pedantic but you’re not even good at it. He’s the best poker player and would be the smartest by far in this thread

His parents are not well off. Two retired high school teachers from middle class families. You guys literally embarrass yourself more and more with every post

3,000 dollars is about 6 months worth of Nomad's "salary" in 2022 and 2023. And yes people have trouble believing he bet 3,000 dollars on an NFL game but is afraid of 200 dollar poker swings.

Additionally Making poverty wages but having made a 3,000 dollar bet before isn't the brag you think it is.

If you read through this thread recently you'd also see basically everyone is happy for him getting the dealer job and hopes he keeps it.

Best new poster in this thread since the penny stock bodybuilder guy

It’s sad that you keep having to bring up how smart you are.

And these sad ghost account posts where you have to say all this nonsense just to build yourself up are just sadder.

Again, nobody’s real childhood friend makes posts like these, Rice.

The irony is so thick you could get it with a freaking knife lmao. I am not rice. I am his childhood friend, the fact that you think it’s inconceivable is such a strange hill to die on

He’s not afraid of 200 dollar swings. Simply bc you say it doesn’t make it so. He doesn’t need to play higher than 1/2 or 1/3 whatever it is these days to get to his goal.

I’m here to stay as well.

I have changed my mind and I now believe you bigpoppa. I am certain if you make another 40-50 poasts today you can get others to change their mind too. Just remember to hurl around some insults and do a little gaslighting. You got this my man

Are you going to do anything other than project? You’re boring me

Rice, you’re even typing these posts with the same grammatical errors found in your YouTube replies.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

• I’m sure Rice was a smart guy in high school and college. He clearly is intelligent in some ways, just very on the spectrum
• Despite that, he undeniably made roughly $6k/yr at his full time job the last two years, has not been able to cover his living expenses, and is barely adding to his savings
• I don’t believe that the $3k sports bets lasted very long. Rice has been increasingly trying these “challenges” where he basically spends $0 to survive for extended periods of time, his mental state seems to be declining, not posting results— all signs point to a man under severe financial stress
• I and most of this thread am very proud of him for getting a dealer job and wish him the best. I hope he’s able to work, get a permanent place to live, health insurance, car insurance, etc… and save a meaningful amount for retirement.

And Poppa, I believe that you are a HS friend and not Diesel, but I encourage you to watch more of the vlog, especially the videos relating to finances, results, and these challenges.

Professional poker is grueling for everyone, especially so when one is playing the lowest stakes possible with a razor thin win rate, no home, and a lack of an emotional support system (girlfriend etc) to deal with the financial swings.

That’s why so many (like myself) shifted to poker as a side hustle that can complement a steady career, and why I’m so happy that Diesel is finally listening to some of the advice from those in this thread and getting a dealing gig to complement his poker comps/earnings.

I prefer to use SCISSORS... or what Chef Big D calls "Buffet Shears"

What was his Laundry bill during that month with the $3K+ sports bet?

BONUS: Was Big D betting on The BIG D?

BONUS #2: How many miles are on your, I mean the VW?

BONUS #3: Are oil changes for suckers?

Fwiw if 1/2 NL full time grind is netting around $10/hour, card counting BJ with infinite comp hustle is like a superior and logical choice. No casino will really kick you out if you're grinding a $10 min bet to $40 max OR $5 min to $50 max on a shoe. It's just too much effort to trespass. Can play in every casino in the world.

I would play BJ professionally for $10/hour over Poker for $10/hour in a heartbeat. In BJ you dont need to think, have stress, it's all done. You just wait to collect money. I'm only reading the thread, but this Rice/Diesel guy should do this instead. Sounds like he's homeless/travels a lot, the perfect situation for a blackjack player. Never in one place, can move around forever, doesn't need to see the family/friends. This is a huge restriction to most sane people who want to play BJ fulltime (cus there's a limit on how many casinos you can play nearby be4 being banned).

Also anyone who becomes profitable in BJ, always profitable FOREVER. The max bets only become bigger and bigger. So Rice/Diesel should do BJ over dealing imo if he really has a 6 figure bankroll/networth. $50/hour with 6 figure is literally 0.01% RoR.

But he repeats everything 3 times, so that makes up for it.

I've never heard of this game.

You forgot that he thought cooked ducks were raw. Guess he thought they were that color under their feathers. Has he never seen chicken in the store?

4% is probably about what he got in dividends.

Congrats on the dealer job Rice.

This is where the disconnect lies between reality and what this thread believes. He could have a permanent place to live right now, 5x over. HE DOESNT WANT TO. Why is that so hard to understand? He is not under any financial burden. He simply chooses to live the way he does

I've mentioned card counting as an option for him before. Some casinos would still kick him out but not many.
The issue for him is he couldn't deal with the swings from bj.

I believe your concern is genuine but misguided. I speak with him every single day. He is 100% fine financially and spiritually

None of you are able to discern that bigpoppa is not Rice? Really? It's pretty easy to tell by their writing style and use of aggresive language. Come on, many of you are smart enough to spot the clear signs. I don't know who this new poster is, but it's definitely some dude in their late teens to late 20s
