I normally dont give guys like you attention, but man you salty.
are you actually enjoying this internet bashing? seems you also put in allot of time to do this...

Sounds like you think the more buttons you click the higher up you can play.

Troopers hand analysis makes me chuckle just like " the guy scratched the side of his face so I knew he was bluffing" sounds like he's just watched rounders about 3 weeks ago and decided to start playing poker.

So OFA and Squid Face make notable post (as experts in their respective fields) that are critical of their previous experiences w/ Trooper. Then almost immediately after that an account reg Oct '16 (the month Trooper went Brokeback and vowed to quit 2+2) post dismissing "a handful of poster posting about how wonderful, expert and magnanimous they perceive themselves to be to one of the vloggers regularly followed?" Followed by labeling the thread posters as the things Trooper was critically labeled by some the other day (borderline narcissistic/sociopathic).

Doesn't take an Internet sleuth to say: Hi Trooper!

LOL he sure does seem to enjoy the show based on the fact he's spent some part of the last 13+ years hanging around.

Everything is up for discussion and it's not necessary to stay on the jj hand trooper had forever. but please reference a book and the page # we can find an author suggests to triple barrel into an opponent who has position on you on a kkx flop when you, the hero, has an under pair to the board.

Who said triple barrel? I said bet turn OR river...

Not sure what merit betting either has tbf unless for thin value on river

Watch the video from the 9:10 mark. trooper raised out of the bb to $15. then he bet the flop $20. so what you're suggesting would technically be 3 barreling. preflop, flop, turn or river. i didn't say this...you did! betting the turn would block yourself from betting the river for value if called. and a river bet probably will only be called by a kx hand. maybe a pocket pair but you can't call a river raise can you?? out of position check calling the turn and river is probably the better line, after being called on the flop.

Why try to intimidate the opponent? Why?

He claims to have the tell already.

I don't mind Troopers JJ line, but I think if you take the passive line instead of turn betting, calling the river shove should be fairly auto.

You check to induce the villains bluff range and sigh if he has a K.

But AK is unlikely and especially once the Q on the river comes, KQ unlikely.

Villain probably isn't auto shoving a Q there either.

Call seems super standard, especially knowing he has all out bluffs in his range.

Begging, narcissism, immaturity and fake tough guy persona.

Why is Andrew kicking his butt?

This is a must see.

Pokerkraut might be the most likeable guy ever. That intro was gold. I had to take a 5 minute break to gather myself when he was boxing the chicken in the garage.

It's cool to see the evolution of poker vlogging from all of these people who have come in after Trooper. It's pretty freshing in comparison to the stale act of some of these other channels that are just sticking to the ABC YouTube vlog formula that people have been doing for 7-8years now.

I was flabbergasted !

Just watched the JJ hand video. Not sure what physical tell he's claiming to have seen but the insta 'all in' on the river from villain sure sounds bluffy as ****

PK with the best ever poker vlog scene. Deserves to go non-poker viral.

What do you hope to accomplish with the bet? What better hands are you hoping to fold out? If your opponent is on tilt and capable of bluffing like Trooper believed, then the best line is to induce the bluff, not fold it out, especially in situations like this where a bet has very little chance of causing a superior hand to fold.

PK video was awesome! The guy is definitely the type of personality you want at the poker tables. It looks like he is enjoying the vlogging and is having a ton of fun. While he doesn't get a ton of fan mail and his viewers are lower than other vloggers (as is his production value), he is doing it as a hobby and keeping the videos entertaining by producing great content with less production value.

On the other hand, you have Andrew Neeme who while enjoying the vlogging, is taking this seriously in putting out a quality product and is now building his brand while also monetizing the channel with some original t-shirts that have already sold out in one of the designs available.

In the middle you have Trooper. He definitely enjoys vlogging and getting his videos and opinions out there. Yet his content is very weak due to the quantity of videos that he throws out there. Also, he seems very desperate for money and gives off a very heavy begging feel in his vlog. He has really half ass-ed trying to cash in on his videos and it is hurting his brand a lot. Had he released t-shirts and mugs with "What up, it's the Trooper!", it would have been a popular item and would have been a better way for people to support him rather than send in Starbucks gift cards. (It's not too late, Trooper. Wake up!)

Strictly for value and avoiding giving a free card (infinity odds) to opponent.

It's rare for villains at 1-2 to put max pressure on you in that spot. Usually when you check it down and you're ahead, they check it down unless they hit something. That's one reason why 1-2 is so easy to beat.

The pros at 2/5 and 5/10 don't always treat opponents well either. Some give off a super boring vibe and just sit there with the backpack and headphones and don't say a word. Others might actually try to intimidate or berate people.

Trooper had a 50/50 shot of guessing right, and he did..

It's interesting to hear that strategy books are teaching blocking bets. No wonder poker is so easy. LMAO @ taking control of the hand so that he is never in this spot. Oh the horror that your opponent will just put their entire stack in the middle with air. I just hate when players donate money to me like that. If playing this hand aggressively is what separates a 3/5 winner from a 1/2 winner then playing it passively is what separates a 5/T winner from a 3/5 winner.

Salty? WTF are you talking about? I'm Troopers undisputed #1 fan. I even hung out with him once, and I'd buy a Trooper97 refrigerator magnet if he sold them. I apologize for trying to be unbiased ITT, but it's pretty well known that I am pro-trooper. I'm surprised nobody has accused me of being paid by the Trooper to post here.

Someone has to keep the haters in line.

I agree. I'd say most 2/5 and 5/T grinders in Vegas are bad at this. Higher than that they tend to be better. Thing is that poker is a grind and it beats people down. Not sure how many players are trying to provide a fun atmosphere but even for those that are, it's not necessarily easy to do day in and day out.

I agree many don't. However anyone who doesn't who starts

1)will make more money in the long run
2)will probably have more fun
3)their opponents will have more fun
4) it will be a lot less of a grind if you're having fun at the especially during losing streaks.

The problem is a lot of these guys are decent (basically as you move up the silent nits are a little less bad on average, some are actually good) at poker and see it purely in terms of math and ev not realizing a lot of poker is social and psychological

Even worse they think it's an accomplishment to be better than someone at a game they take seriously that their opponent doesn't. It's not.

i didn't view troop's comment about taking chips offensive at all. It's a competitive game. and trash talk is pretty normal amongst men. i think the average recreational player will find a little table talk add to the vegas experience. not feel unwelcome or abused. and the main thing that runs off recs and tourists is lost money not the absence of a tour guide or host at the table.

on this one, people are just finding flaws and holes in trooper.

d.c. get in here and straighten the critics out. lol
