I can't imagine Kraut, Andrew or Brad being willing to get in a car for more than a few minutes with Trooper. And can't say that I'd blame them.

But Kraut taking Andrew and Brad on a random degen challenge roadtrip would be fun.

I live in NJ, so that's not exactly a big city, but can honestly say in my trips to Vegas, Manhattan or any other city, I've never seen someone vlogging themselves. There's zero chance I wouldn't give them a look

Agreed -- especially seeing a 45 yr old dressed like a 15 yr old -- that **** is odd.

Not sure if anyone posted this guy yet. He is apparently driving around the country with truck and trailer playing poker. Looks like he won 10k BBJ at talking stick on his way. I started watching him when he was at Winstar. He is in Cali now.

Vlog #1 - European, cash game festival, short. No HH.

FIFY

Really great A+ b-roll from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. Includes behind-chips table POV and HH.

Also, he always shows him 'outsmarting' trolls who send glitter bombs... IF he did open one up, he would never show it. It would be edited out.

He cares too much about the 'trolls'

Trooper would make a big deal about doing the road trip and then show up to the leaving meet up 2 hours late. After being left behind he would blame the others for leaving him and it wasn't his fault he was "too busy to make it on time. These things are out of my control."

There would then be 3 vlogs in a row denouncing the haters and trolls calling him out for big timing the other 3 and making every excuse for backing out of the trip.

This would be interspersed with 3 20+ min mailtime videos.

Saved you the trouble of the "what if"
Since it will never ever happen

^^^^^^^

Nailed it.

I wonder what trooper's sub/view count would be if he hadn't been (arguably) the first entry into the market. I watch pinnoy image, the trucker/poker Filipino dude. He is not the best vlogger/player in the world but he just comes off as some one I'd like to hang out and as a result I subbed and watch his videos. As an aside, I doubt he would come in here and try to argue with me for saying he isn't the best player or vlogger.

Pinnoy has about 1500 subs and his videos look like they are getting 5000 views. If trooper came off as a little more approachable and less sure of his abilities, I think he'd probably get a lot more subs. I like watching trooper but dude worries me sometimes.

Trooper's disdain for his own viewers is just proof he sees YouTube as an economic vessel and nothing else.

His refusal to engage with subscribers (Andrew tweets out a night where he says come play 2/5 with me) or even so much as to write down and remember the names of people he meets.

No effort.

Kraut's new one today gives a hidden mickey-like potshot at Trooper.

He's downtown walking by the scale at the Heart Attack Grille and simply says "Memories".

It is a bit tilting when Kraut keeps referring to a voucher gift as a "voicher"..but he gets a free pass on that..

Lots of not-so-careful planning going into this next mission.

If the trooper somehow managed to arrive on time, he would end up returning the same night stating that the games are no good.

Trooper is so confrontational that I doubt he would ever be comfortable enough to invite his fans to the tables via Twitter or whatever, in fear the haters and trolls would show up.

Trooper acts tough, but is quite clearly masking insecurities. He's consumed by the haters, that he rarely would look out for his true fans (judging by his mugs, he's got at least 75 true fans)

I have much respect for Neeme's and Brad's vlogs, they are entertaining and very informational. I feel they don't catch the spectrum of emotion players feel when running bad/running good, to me that is important from an entertainment perspective. They may feel its not important, and I don't blame them one bit, they are clearly good players, level-headed and giving out great info.

Boski makes me want to play tournaments, is hilarious, and clearly has good taste in food, music, and giving back to the community. How has has only 6k subs is beyond me, it should be 25k easily.

I find myself most eager to watch Matt Vaughan, he encompasses his life, HH, and the emotions that go along with the rollercoaster that is variance. He is very humble and it is so hard to find professional (or non-rec) players with that sort of humility. Matt, if you read this, keep the vlogs going, they are top notch.

I also think PokerMonk is very upfront and honest, and I think if he improves his game a bit he will be a good winning player.

Trooper may have been the OG vlogger, but considering he is delusional, childish, hypocritical, redundant, and not funny, I had to stop watching that train wreck. He is clearly unapproachable by any poker player that seems to be a threat (which is probably everyone considering his skill level), and just wants to talk to tourists who watch his vlogs. The sad thing is back when I first saw his vlogs go up they were great - a guy who had the balls to say **** it, I'm going to Vegas and am doing what I want to do. He appears to have the mentality of a paranoid washed up celebrity which makes him awkward and his vlogs aren't even centered around poker anymore. He says he's "Killin the Vegas Vlog Scene" - what the **** does that even mean?

LOL sounded like "Voyager" to me and I had no clue what he was saying at first. But like most other Kraut videos, it was endearing.

You know what would be really funny if someone imitated him at the same time he's vlogging walking side by side that would tilt him so bad he'd probably call the popos.
I would call it vlogging the trooper lol.

DC you down,?

Or maybe Manz...Would do it he's crazy.

Wow latest mailtime 437 likes 252 thumbs down it's finally sinkng into people that he's run his course.

Mail time is a Fing joke so dumb

Has Neeme in his blog ever addressed -why- he lives in Vegas? It seems like the games are much better quality at stakes above 2/5 whenever he plays in a different city. I can understand the CoL in LA would be much higher, but why not live in Detroit if they have such good midstakes games, especially if his family is there?

Every vlog has poker guests but Troop.

Vlog #1 from forum regular D22_SOSO.

Well, "vlog" is a strong term. But it is one hand played at Limon's game at the Commerce.

Glad you brought up Matt - he has a new Favorable vlog out.

Wait what's that?

Ok no more fun words ... he has a ... Flavorful vlog ...



Yeah Flavorful, that's it - that's the ticket!

So here is my theory on what's going on with Frooper.

M***y hasn't been in a vlog for several weeks. Trooper starts going on a downswing and stops vlogging only to show up with a 40min train wreck of a mailtime.

She dumped him, and he's getting over the break up whilst not playing poker or vlogging very much.

I think he'll continue to not play for a while. More mail times and coupon runs in the future.
