and I am back on YouTube once again a lot of things have happened over the past few
months so let's catch you back up to date on the happenings it all started with my channel getting
its second strike on me getting a two-week ban for harmful and dangerous content of course they
never taught me exactly what is harmful and dangerous just a vague blanket statement so
I hit up at Chen on Twitter to see if he could remedy the situation he has been very helpful
in the past being able to get videos reinstated for me and Rooney me Brad Owen and get strikes
removed Chen assured me that the strikes were not my fault I didn't do anything wrong it's just the
AI BOTS flag and stuff again going crazy unlucky me but I'm not gonna play the woe-is-me card so I
served my two-week ban and I decide you know what it's probably better that I don't upload any more
videos because if I get one more strike it says my entire channel will be deleted over 400 videos
golf that juice is not worth the squeeze always know if the juice is worth the squeeze so I just
went out on the sidelines and I was planning on uploading something around June 1st that's what
my 90-day probationary period would be over and my strikes would disappear on May 9th I got an
email saying that one of my videos had violated their copyright policies it was a video where I
just did five separate clips of big Bluffs with du7 which I took from various existing YouTube
channels it didn't perform very well and I didn't make a penny off it ultimately poker sexual aka
poker go was the company that struck it down but the Seven News video was not the last straw
I actually got my third and final strike from a video I already got a strike from a video they
already deleted a video I already appealed to be reinstated and they rejected a video which had
no known violations nothing objectionable but it did me in it got me my third strike and my
whole channel was deleted hundreds of comments and messages came in wondering where's your Channel
bro what happened while I appreciate the concern you have to understand that this is effectively
poking a bear I reached out to Chen I put out a tweet got a great response and a few days later
Chen was able to reinstate my whole channel and remove one strike so we're still sitting on one
strike until the beginning of June and since this video is now out it is June and we should
be strike free there hasn't been much live poker to vlog about so this vlog is going to be the
first three days of quarantine starting with March 15th let me know what you think of this format I
have I think the first two weeks and a few other day is also documented I can continue to put out
these videos if you guys like them if you don't that's fine it'll save me hours and hours of
editing make sure you hit the follow button and like this video if you do infinite like it it
means a lot to the channel and it means a lot to me so it is good to be back I hope you guys enjoy
looking back what it was like when the quarantine hit it is midnight on March 15th the Ides of March
I haven't had any contact with the outside world since my Wednesday night bowling league
approximately 80 hours ago was the last time I came in contact with anyone other than my
girlfriend or our dogs let's take a look at the supplies I bought this is day one but
I've already been doing this for three days I just haven't vlogged it this vlog is gonna
be a little bit different there's not gonna be any live poker what it will be is my journey to
nowhere a journey of self seclusion quarantined at my house the only external people I come in
contact with is my girlfriend my dog Duke and her two yellow labs the plan is to go
to the desert every day for some fresh air some sunlight a little bit of exercise start my online
grind around 5 p.m. every day in America's card room the plan is to go to sleep around
4:00 or 5:00 every day and wake up around noon this is not going to be easy luckily I saw this
coming a few weeks ago and I already started stockpiling food and supplies so I think I'm
pretty adequately prepared for at least a few months of salt seclusion this is not optimal
I enjoy human contact but I think it's the best course of action considering the possibility of
spreading the virus or contracting the virus I predict that everybody will be quarantined
at some point where you won't even be allowed to leave your house or drive anywhere to really
keep the virus in check so we're just taking the proper precautions to adjust to this scenario and
hopefully I have enough supplies and mental strength to withstand the possible months of
quarantine this is the end of day two of my quarantine slash social distancing vlog I'll
be doing these every day at the end of the day to recap what happened today it was a big news
day MGM in the wind announced that they'll be shutting down their casinos for at least two
weeks starting Tuesday I believe saw it coming predicted this a week ago no one believed me
my next prediction is that everybody's going to be quarantined in their house meaning that
it's illegal to drive you can't leave your house very similar to the scene in outbreak
it's very scary to think about I want to give a shout-out to all the doctors nurses medics out
there that are handling these cases and dealing with these people every single day the mental
obstacles that I'm going through right now is what if something bad did happen to me or my girlfriend
would we be able to get care at a hospital and if so wouldn't we definitely get infected and while
there this makes me extra careful but it also makes me extra paranoid I have to think about
the positive things going on in my life I don't have kids to worry about as far as I know me and
my girlfriend are very unlikely to have no fever no coughing no respiratory problems so all I can
do is ration my food waste not want not and do my best to keep my mind occupied on things that
aren't very doom and gloom I will stay protected I will protect my house my girlfriend and her dog
to the best of my ability I predict the quarantine will last for at least one month to fully mitigate
all the people out there they continue to frolic with each other and laugh in the face of danger
and continue to make stupid jokes I said this [ __ ] wasn't funny a week ago and people said I
was being a tight-ass I was being too serious but here we are more and more cases are being
reported and there isn't really an end in sight it's all about flattening the curve as shown in
this graph I think eventually we'll emerge from this as a stronger society although the economy
has been wrecked with everything shutting down with production that's horrible but I think we'll
bounce back and be stronger as a community that is my hope today I played for about nine hours
on America's card room I streamed the last three hours or so I ended up with a small profit after
being wrecked very early so I'll overall a good stream averaged around 250 viewers and we're
gonna do it again tomorrow this is our routine now it's time to do a nightly walk with the dogs
it's 1:00 a.m. we faded the Ides of March let's stay positive this could be worse imagine if we
were actually getting invaded by another country I could only imagine the fear that the general
public would be going through instead it's an invisible invasion we can't avoid it it
will go away as long as we don't stay in close contact with each other until next time see you
guys on day three I have completed day three of the self quarantine pretty standard day wake up
hang out with my girlfriend take the dogs out to the desert avoid all human contact
on the way to the desert and when we're in the desert come back grind online for eight hours
fired up the twitch stream for about four hours pretty exhausted ate some spaghetti and meatballs
had some scrambled eggs for breakfast
rationing all food not overeating not wasting anything it might be very valuable in the future
today Donald Trump had a one-hour press conference with the media and he said goodbye answer until
July or August before it's fully resolved I put a lot of fear into my girlfriend and it's uh pretty
scary to think about not being able to really interact with anybody for four months or so but
here we are another day in the books still got plenty of food dodging panic attacks try not to
think about what horrible things could happen in the future and how many people are dying from this
disease more and more people are waking up to the seriousness of it I contacted South Pointe bowling
alley today to try to talk some sense into them to not run bowling leagues for the next few days
or for the next few months at all shut it down all casinos are getting shut down even Venetian
is shutting down their poker room after they were nice enough to reduce it to three handed
tables greed is a hell of a drug MGM and winter shut down very interesting tweet from the Orleans
saying that they have limited their tables to five max so you got two feet of distance between each
of these elderly gentlemen that come there to play piojo eight you got to tell these people
to go home and stay home flattening the curve is a real thing it's the only way we're gonna fight
this disease I've been told by two different sources that martial law ma RTI al law will be
in effect very soon possibly tomorrow this is a complete shutdown of everything no businesses no
schools just the essentials maybe just hospitals please fire stuff like that I heard people are
gonna riot if this happens I was told to have my gun and ammunition ready in case this does happen
so people don't loot me or harm me when they fight against the machine that is the government I got
nothing but love for the government I trust them to take care of us they've done a great job over
the way thirty-six years of my life but I might have to fight against my own people to preserve
my life and that scares me I ordered some more things from Amazon and I ordered a seven pack
of Chicago deep-dish pizzas I think food will be an issue in a few months I mean I'm not producing
any food here and it's just slowly going away if we're gonna be in lockdown or for four months or
more I'm gonna need more food and I'm gonna need to find a way to acquire it I hope you
guys find this interesting this is my vlog this is my journal of events I do this every night
around 1:00 a.m. when I get done playing online I have been getting a record number of signups on a
CR so that is a good thing and I think in the end we will grow as a community when this is all over
we'll appreciate each other more as long as the fabric of society isn't torn too much and we don't
fall into another Great Depression I think this will be a net positive as to what great freedoms
we have and we should not look at this as freedoms have been taken away from us this is us dodging an
invisible enemy none of this is scripted this is straight from my head after an eight-hour
grind now I'm going to see my girlfriend and walk the dogs again I'll see you guys tomorrow
