Trooper cutting back on the frequency of his uploads is going to hurt his bottom line quite a bit. He gets paid on overall views and cutting the vlogs in half should in theory nearly cut his overall views in half. The frequency of his uploads was his one advantage in the YouTube scene from a monetary perspective

What is the deal with him hand delivering Trooperware items?

How does he not hit that in a week, Bally's
Trooper does not play 20 hrs of poker in a typical week.

Don't encourage Trooper to hang around Bally's. Trooper loses on average ~35/hr at Bally's. He can't afford to play 20 hrs a week at Bally's.

Trooper has lost another 8 subscribers since his last upload.


Socialblade.com has lowered the top end of his yearly estimated earnings from $29,200 to $26,100 in just the last week.

he doesn't stack money making opportunities. he just goes one at a time and probably gets to the exact same "income" as usual. right now, he is selling his first (and probably only) wave of Trooperware stuff, so the vlog isn't as big a priority, there is still money coming in. Plus, he'll probably tell you Trooperware is a full time gig somehow and he has no time to edit...

i truly think he thinks that way. "why constantly vlog while i'm pulling in shirt money?"

i also think the "trolls" are getting to him, so he's probably not motivated to vlog every day right now. he shouldn't anyway, people have been telling him to go day on day off forever as his **** got really stale, but i still think i'm dead on with my earlier assessment of the situation.

He's got nothing better to do with his time. He thought that offering people who are visiting Vegas the opportunity to meet him would boost his sales so he said that if you put his PO box in the shipping address, he would personally deliver the items. Now, he's doing a delivery or two a day on the strip to keep his shop running.

Instead of letting the tshirt shop run itself, he's actually putting a ton of time into it to get the same revenue. He has nothing else to do so he's not paying any opportunity cost to do it. He's probably just watching less random YouTube videos which he calls "research" for his vlog.

I just imagine he isnt playing as much because he's scared money now. If you clip the 2/5 upswing from his poker graph then he's really only up like 4500 for the year. We cant ignore the upswing because it IS money in the bank, but it could impact his confidence since he probably feels like a very very marginal winner at 1/2 which is his main game. Factor that in with living expenses and an arguably optimistic 2k/month earnings from youtube/whatever and he cant really have much more than a few buyins revolving at any point in time. My guess is he's just playing between paychecks from his alternate income sources.
You do realize it is a drop shipping business witch means he does not have any stock on him. That is why you have to ship it to his mailbox if you want it to be hand delivered. Everything is made to order.

Plus you have to order it 7-10 days before you actually get it. Because it takes them so long to make them.

It is funny he moved to a place with nice gym and pool which he does not use.

More closet space which he does not use because he likes the floor.

A net negative health wise because when he was at DM he at least walked downtown.

I am surprised he doesn't keep a dozen hats in a backpack and sign them for table side impulse sales.

Selling one an hour would double his win rate

That was probably the brilliant idea he talked about a few days ago.
But he doesn't like to carry anything around, not even his jacket when its 110 outside. He prefers to "ware" it. Then he doesn't have to carry his $0.10 water, he can put it in his pocket.

But he will walk around with his arm stuck out carrying a camera tho.

1) To receive praise from fans. Narcissists live off of compliments.

2) Less time for poker which helps his bottom line.

The same will happen with Trooper.


It's not just that with TBC it's the total lack of world awareness. He still makes horribly illiterate rants about god, politics, taxes, haven't seen anything race related in a while which was surprising because he was around Detroit. He still tweets nonsense like:

-if I pay more than double the mortgage on a house in rent why won't this AHole rent to me? It's simple math?!!?

-When people respond that his credit and background check are horrible and he doesn't stay put for more than a couple months at a time he acts like that information is news to him.

He's a F'ing life moron acting as if he's functional and doesnt understand why people look down on his past actions and behaviors.

3) I believe him when he says he really enjoys working on the shop and delivering the goods and dealing with returns etc.

This guy as far was we have learned has never started or created really anything substantive besides a band in his late teens/early 20s. It's been a lifetime of serving people and chasing a gambling addiction.

Now he's actually "created something". He bought the designs, took the phrases and he cultivated a fashion line of t-shirts, hats, mugs and hoodies! It is finally his name and logo on the merch and he is enjoying trying his best to make it profitable.

He may be going about it in some LOL ways but I appreciate the attempt to monetize his brand and the time he's putting into trying to make it work out. All of the time and energy he's spent on it instead of watching YT or fighting with trolls is good for him.

I feel like his time would be better spent playing some of the Colossus style events than cash. I guess Trooper just isn't interested in an end game, he'd rather just happily grind away.
