Bathrooms - porta potty low class feel. Hold it in and don’t drink water to minimize usage.
Plastic barriers between players - worst I’ve ever seen.

Overall : 5/10. Most points deducted for long A$5 wait time.
Do they not take phone call ins? Why not find someone local and pay them $20 to put your name on the list?

Hey KingKrab, I'm not an avid follower but does read yours and others' post from time to time. Everyone is struggling bad right and i can relate to your struggle esp a man in your position with responsibility. I've been doing these doordash,ubereats, and instacart gig thing. Its not bad, super easy and avg around $200 a day. These side gig actually fit us poker players- no restraint, whenever game opportunities open up we can play anytime. Anyways, just throwing it out there. Good luck, stay strong and be safe bud.

I haven’t seen this; def link me to the next video.
I’m sure he’s gonna try to tear me apart. Rehabbing Fish, if you’re out there, I’m willing to call interview if you want any resemblance of up to date information.


Trip report 2: had a half G up day yesterday so it’s been a great start to the poker reintroduction. Met with my poker coach and went over hand histories and thought processes. He had one borderline critique of a AKo hand that bluff bet with, but other than that he said my game has improved significantly with little to no leaks. The coaching session honestly felt better than winning 500$. Hoping to repeat the sequence of events today to get myself out of this COVID debt that i built up.

I honestly have tried these, earlier this year. I was making about 2/hr with postmates. Nobody tips, and sometimes I’d have to drive a long ass way to get to a house, wasn’t worth the gas. My time was better spent studying poker or doing writing gigs for my professor friend.

Thanks for the lookout though bro

P.S. those driving gig jobs are a deathtrap; I studied insurance policies in my Econ degree years back. The logic goes the more hours you spend on the road, the higher the equity for death you have. Truck drivers are sort of an outlier: they only kill others but other cars can’t kill the. Just they wreck their back over the short medium and long run.
Uber should only be a thing if you must; I’ve said this before but I’ve almost lost my life a few times from drunk drivers almost hitting me.

Yo man, Im out here. I have zero issues with you, and while we had some beef in that now locked Warm Deck thread and I know I pissed you off when I said your book was overpriced, I dig that you took the risk to share your story and publish your book and actually looking forward to the sequel if you keep publishing.

As for the Trooper and Warm Deck, yah Im gonna tear those two Trumpkins down in the video sequel along with those travel section chumps, but it probably wont be coming out till 2021 as have bigger non-poker related fish to fry.

Id be down for that interview in the future, I have a few platforms with decent traffic and sure with your book and the years since, would be a great content.

So the dude is gonna make videos about the travel forum posters? Why?

If anyone deserves a video is the busto in Thailand, buying dog tuxedos, marrying the first girl I meet guy. That thread was really amazing, shame OP got busy being a dad and all.

From prior posts over many years it seems the video guy is a total delusional nutter on some sort of long term revenge plan.

Why is a good question. I have some scores to settle that I promised I'd be following up on. But its not a video for each of these clowns, just one long one.

In the end its really number one on the list, Rewket that Im coming for hard. Going to plop a pic of him on a stick figure with his real name and his own racist, hating, criminal words to tell the story.

A few others like that exposed scammer Coinflipper, the tool Sam and the two libel artists The Landlord and Poker Spiv will get theres too. As for the rest they just wanted to be at the table with their idiotic moves. KK is cool though, he just there to set up The Trooper and a good add as KK is an interesting player out there.

But I wont deny, I love your suggestion of the dog tuxedo guy. It was actually his thread back when I lived in China right before I moved to Thailand that got me involved deeper on 2p2. Maybe I should pivot off the above chitbricks and do a positive video on the amazing story of Busto in Thailand?

I've said this before but find a charity and give them some cash when you get paid. Can be as little as $0.50 online. Commit to it for life.

You have stated that you can't just throw money at people. You have to treat them with some humanity you state. No matter what you give or what you don't give people will complain. This charity work isn't done to win friends.

The whole point of giving money is to be generous. It's really a selfish action you take. It may allow you to feel gratitude to be able to give which can lead to giving more.

Money is what you wanna give not time or food. Yes you can still listen to people give them a glass of water chew the fat or whatever but giving money to poorer people is what every person should be doing. Telling me or others you do or don't is irrelevant and I or others don't need to know. I just am just stating something here which will help you and everyone else if applied if it isn't already done already by yourself or others who read this thread.

I can see kingkrabs point of view of not wanting to do this A) due to the lack of money they may come in B) the risk of getting into a accident goes up.

It's not for everyone because not everyone is suppose to be a delivery driver. Kingkrab has a kid remember that with that lining up with B.

What he needs to find is something where he's not focused on the money but rather the act of doing the work itself and being of service. Yes he will have a charge which every business person has to do to take into consideration. His employer will be his customer if he decides to be a employee. The customer (employer) will decide if they wanna use his services. You wanna be skilled in your work. Turning up everyday required on time is a skill which can be learnt and is highly sought after.

He could study poker for 4 hours a day right now for a month at a certain time every day or even 3 days a week and then market that to a future employer. Sell your skill that your able to commit to turning up to study gambling systems and you can apply that to flipping big macs, mowing lawns, planting plants, selling cars, or whatever you decide to work at. All four of those are booming types of work at least here in Australia and are entry level not requiring 4 year degrees. We are also in supposedly a recession but they (the tax payer) just keep borrowing and the cycle goes on until the masters say enough is enough and who knows what will happen then.

long time no blog. It’s a long shot but I’ll be in Vegas for a meeting these upcoming two days if anyone wants to meet up. DM me

Lot of things happening, I’m sure it’s the same with you guys. Almost got kicked out of our apartment due to COVID closures, but kept up the payments as well as I could and the state came in and helped a little.
I want to thank that bud for coming in with the phone, it literally came in clutch with getting some legal help and odd jobs. Also recently got a chrome book for free from another donor from Facebook.

Lately I’ve been jumping around different card rooms, the bike, Hawaiian gardens, Hollywood parks mostly, games have been good, I’ve improved my skill by doing some online training, got myself a coach regularly. Bankroll was solid black up 10k until my car broke down and it halved to 5k.

If anyone can help with info, where are the best games and promos in Vegas this weekend?

I'm back.

on 2p2 for today at least. Don't even know where to start. Should I start with today, or try and fill in the gap of several years?

Been playing live poker in LA. Long story short: I'm up. 5-5 stakes, never made the jump higher because of the pressure to float my fam. But I do decently, just no mega future unless some of my other endeavors take off.

2 Junes ago, I met whom i thought was a cool dude at a local casino, he invited me out with his friends in vegas. Skinny Indian kid, mid twenties. Lets call him AniK. December of that same year, I let him stay with me and my fam. We shared Christmas with him, giving him personally thought of gifts. He was the most horrid guest. I opened my home to him, and he wrecked so much of my social world with his selfishness. He stole from me, talked skit about me to my friends, tried to touch/hit on my partner... Broke my heart a bit, because I naively still believed that people could be healed with kindness.
Kind of made me lose faith in humanity.

2 months ago, I did take a roadtrip up to Seattle for some alone time. Met a college friend in SF along the way - made amends of the abrupt parting of ways from a long time ago, which felt great. didn't want to burden him so I slept in the back of my old Prius at rest stops.
Did some camping at Rainier - Reconnected with my little (from big brother big sister). I met this kid when he was 10, back in my seattle days. stout but energetic kid, loved minecraft, parkour, and skrillex. Now he's this buff/tall 19 yo. Amazing to see him grown up. I asked for forgiveness for leaving Seattle when I was in the absolute worst part of my depression. He told me he completely understands, and never held it against me.

Don't want to bore you guys, so I'll cut it here today. Maybe next time I tell you about the HomeGame I just came from, and some of the other stuff I'm working on. Also, possibly expand on the confrontation, if anyone is interested.
