It seems more often than not, Trooper gets stuck for a few hundred before he turns it around.

There are a few possibile reasons for this, just not sure which ones Trooper is guilty of the most ?

So the maniac at the table who will probably play every pot he can with the troop to get his money back has built his stack back up and trooper leaves?
I'm not a pro poker player but isn't it games/players like these that as a pro you play until noon the next day if you have to? You have a chance to win enough in that session to take 3 or 4 days off and refresh yourself.
He's had multiple days recently of running into tables full of the reg crushers so this is the game you've been waiting for and you leave because you are tired? Dude wakes up at like noon...

I think the first time seeing Slayer and Lamb of God was when they played in 2006 in San Jose... either at SJSU events center or the Shark Tank. Now I've seen both bands at least 5 times each since then.

Lol, Trooper is so clueless. His fan base are normal people rec poker players who hold real jobs. Do you think for just one second that he realizes how that sounds to a person who worked a 12 hour day and is up another 6-8 hours doing chores taking care of the kids?

He's an addicted gambler, of course he believes in luck.
As someone with OCD, manifesting mainly as germaphobia (see here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/34...phobe-1422913/), I can attest that it often is accompanied with increased superstition, stemming mainly from a driving force of OCD being that unconnected things are actually connected and the fear of not having control over the outcome of events.

I don't regularly watch Trooper's vlogs, nor am I a shrink, so I can't attest to whether he might actually have OCD or perhaps is just kind of type A about certain things. But for sure OCD can manifest in different ways and to different degrees, with some who suffer from it being nearly indistinguishable from anyone else and those on the severe end of the spectrum having difficulty getting through even a semblance of everyday life activities.

This is the biggest loss of his that I remember. He lost $1411 in this session at Planet Hollywood and looks really shaken up at the end of the video. It's an old video from more than 2 years ago so I'll just put up a link. 677 likes and only 7 dislikes on the video and he had been posting on 2+2 for almost 7 months. So it doesn't seem like there were a bunch of haters from 2+2 at the time. Looks like he had almost no haters at all.

206 is not that bad. He loses 20 lbs and he is in the 180s which is average weight. He can do that in 10 weeks - if he wanted to.

Just picked a random Trooper vlog to watch and he talks about being unlucky to lose a pot after raising JJ on the turn on a Q high board. What the hell was he trying to achieve with the raise? If it's for value what worse hands is he expecting to call? If he's turning his hand into a bluff, then what is the reason for it (and what is he hoping to fold out?). He's just button clicking (or whatever the live version is).

I saw some guys that do ecig reviews on yt talk about having 15 - 20% of their videos demonitized but most of those were older ones that do not meet the 'still receiving 1k/week views' threshold. Apparently the thing that is most likely to get a video demonitized (other than the obvious of cursing like a maniac) is if it is clearly a sponsored a video and the creator didn't check some option box labeling it as such when uploading it.

Our hero is not worried about some crumbs here and there. You can't see the crumbs under the piles of random clothes and items everywhere.

Nicolas Cage OCD movie. He has the shoes off obsession like Trooper. Did Trooper make Molly take off her shoes?

Trooper's basically just thinking at level 1 most of the time. He's not thinking about what his opponents might have. He just thinks, "Hey, I have pocket jacks. That's the 4th best hand preflop! What a great hand!" and then just stacks off like a donk.

This is putting it lightly. He had the chance to win enough in this session to take 1 to 3 months off. I and some others have sat for 20 hours or more in games because of the opportunities. I have had nights at 1-2 where I've walked away with 1800-2300 in profit and nights at 2-5 where I've walked away with 5000 plus. If Troop was able to get that additional 700 from J-3 sooted who is to say he wouldn't put another 600-800 on the table before getting up to leave. We have no history on the guy and why he is in Vegas, whether he is a degenerate or just some business owner who likes to splash around.

Trooper's results haven't been very good lately. I suspect he wanted to lock in the decent win.

Watched the beginning of Trooper's latest crap vlog and had some footage of him entering Aria and I thought to myself that finally he is going to up his game and will be playing Aria 1/3..

He only goes to places like that for hat delivery. Otherwise he sticks to the knuckle dragging rooms like Harrahs. Nothing like taking money off construction workers and prison guards.

Troopers responded to the scene.

seriously though, he should really ax the boosted board idea if he hasn't already.

Well considering his whiteboard still has the month of JUNE on it pretty sure we can scrap the Boosted Board idea.

He'll probably use winnings for small stuff like rent, gas, and $15 slices of pizza.

I think what you meant to say was:

Trooper don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
