How could we know? He never says what his bankroll is anymore.

Only way Trooper deals this year is if he goes on a downswing prior to the summer. If that did happen, the downswing would probably be the best thing to happen to him. Would not be good if he runs good and then goes on a major downswing later when no dealer jobs are available.

Someone indeed. Someone who was kicked off live at the bike, twoplustwo, twitter (temporarily?), and is desperate for publicity. Trooper can deliver publicity.

Why in the **** would he play 50 hours in a week? It's NOT going to happen.

Try to run it up and/or go broke just like everyone else that plays higher?

I just wasted 11 minutes of my life with the last Trooper vlog. Pokerkraut was funny as always in his last vlog.

Agreed, it seems like if you are in a Poker game with Kraut you will be in a fun game. It is people like him who will bring the recreational players back to the table, not the "soul crushers" and "make them hurt" people like Trooper.

Pokerkraut is just a fun vlog it just looks like he brings the fun into everything. Its great compared to troop. I hope troop the best but I quit watching a few weeks ago he is just not a likable person to watch every day to much bitching. If he did one video a week maybe I could watch again. I looked the other day to see if there was anything worth watching and I see a 2 part hour long mail time! lol no way I am watching that.

He plays short sessions, but Kraut doesn't get enough credit for his game. i mean, he doesn't break hands down or anything, but he almost always seems to walk off a winner. could be hitting and running a lot, but he's still profitable for the hours he plays

He's not bitching. He's just reporting what's going on.

Kraut plays a style that works very well vs random 1/2 tourists. He is a much better poker player than Trooper. There is no denying that.

Wow, Dream Crusher throwing trooper under the bus.

Wonders never cease

Trooper's Austria trip was pretty good.

Someone mentioned (a couple of pages ago) that Pokerkraut and Trooper dress similar. And why don't we get on Pokerkraut for the way he dresses. I didn't even notice Trooper's gear when he was in Austria. I think what bothers me about Trooper's gear is the "Play Dirty" flat brim hats and the silly tshirts. That's what a younger guy would wear. Pokerkraut doesn't wear stupid **** on his shirts and goes w/o a cap or wears golf caps. He is more age appropriate.

And kraut's john denver immitation was very entertaining

It actually makes a lot of sense for him to play 50 hours in a week IF you buy into what he suggested. Trooper thinks he reads hands extremely well. I'm not going to comment directly on that. I'm tired of talking about his game and he plays and thinks much differently than I do. My point is he thinks he is a great hand reader when he pays attention and isn't involved in the hand, and if he ever finds a way to read hands just as well when he is involved, and if he starts playing 50 hours a week, watch out.

Trooper spends almost half the time in the latest video talking about hands.

Liked Jeff's Q&A. Had him pegged for Virginia-type home state. Never guessed MI.

My FIL is a straight up Uper holla at yah boy.

"Not on my watch..." also cracked me up. Keep up the good work Boski.

Trooper goes on and on about good and bad games..... 'good' players dont play 1/2NL. Ordinary players at best do.
And if Trooper is such a good player and exceptional hand reader, he should be able to sit at any table and crush

What up it's the complainer!

He also folded a set of 3's on a 3,6,7 flop - the best

sick soul read by the Troop fo sho!

anyone else notice the lack of food/meals in the vlog since he posted in austria that he was done with carbs?

The term "good" is relative.

If you don't like it, I'm sure there are plenty of videos on youtube about rainbows and sunshine and ****ing unicorns.

I believe Trooper said last week that the biggest difference between Europeans and Americans is that no European knows what half and half is but all Americans know what it is.

Hey guys so i looked at andrew meeme's vlog since i think its really nice. In one of his recent videos, he read some questions people had for for him etc. One of them asked him about downswings and what his longest downswing was etc.


He then mentioned his longest downswing lasted something like 3 weeks where he could not win and nothing could go right. Is anyone here really surprised by this? From what others mention who play live poker, i read that many very good players will go on long downswings such as months even at live poker even if they are very good player etc. How does someone like Andrew Meeme mentioned only 3 weeks etc? Does that mean he probably has been running very good or as he would say it in his videos... very favorable? He definitely is a solid live player from what i could tell but im somewhat surprised that he plays at the 5/10nl level. I would have thought he was mostly a 2/5 player. To anyone that plays poker against him in vegas, is he really that good etc? He seems to be a very nice guy etc but Im very surprised he plays 5/10. Also does anyone know how long he has been playing live poker? Im guessing like 10 years or so give or take? Because from the way he speaks, it definitely looks like he's been in the live poker game for quite some time. And if he is, how can someone go on a downswing or go breakeven stretch where the longest was 3 weeks? I actually think he mentioned he broke even in that 3 week stretch instead of saying a big downswing etc. Im guessing he must be running very good to not experience any big downswing at all?

why are you so caught up on "good enough to play 5/10"? anybody with $500 can play 5/10. there are 2/5 regs who are better than 5/10 regs, but their winrate is higher and variance lower at 2/5, so they play 2/5.

regarding the downswings, he plays a lot of 1/2 and 1/3 which helps to alleviate the downswings. its possible to win 12/12 months playing at this level.

I wouldn't go around announcing my bankroll if I was him either.

Don't watch Andrew's videos so I have no clue what quote you are referring to but it wouldn't surprise me if a good player's longest downswing was 3 weeks. It would be more shocking to hear of a good player on a 3 month downswing to be honest (I'm not saying it hasn't happened).
