I agree women love Drama, I don't think Molly is that type of girl.

The guy has no respect for others (probably because he thinks he's better than everyone else which would relate to the NPD diagnosis everyone has labeled him having) as shown multiple times in his videos. First he doesn't link to Andrew's channel when they meet at the airport but Andrew links to him. Now, he does a cross vlog challenge with Kraut and not only does he show up super late, but he spoils the results and downplays the challenge stealing the thunder from Kraut's vlog. It would have been fairer to put up the results on both vlogs on the same day. (Although we haven't heard Kraut's side of the story so let's see what unfolds.) Plus, it seems like he's dressed super light this time weighing in as compared to the first time so he probably weighs exactly the same.
Another thing I noticed is that other vloggers like Kraut, Neeme, and Boski all reply to their fans in the comments section of each of their videos. They enjoy interacting with their fans and use the full power of YouTube to interact with their audience. (YouTube has a major advantage over television in that you can communicate with the stars of the videos.) Trooper very rarely replies to his fans in the comments and when he does, it's usually to flip out and curse them out. He used to claim to read all of the comments but he clearly doesn't anymore and I didn't think he did so then either because he would so rarely reply to people and when he did (back over a year ago) it would be with one word replies, nothing that showed any desire to interact.
Granted if his desire is to get views, it is working to a certain degree because I read this thread and then want to go and see what stupid thing the guy did today. Definitely train wreck material!
You know I agree with everything you say, the thing is I am beginning to believe he does this stupid crap in his videos to try and show that he can be an actor...two times now I have sat with him on the tables and for the most part you don't hear a peep out of him he quietly will chat to his neighbor but that's it. So i am now beginning to believe this is all an act and a dumb one if you ask me because Andrew is being himself and almost at 50k so the blokes acting job if it is one isn't working.

Judging by his videos, I wouldn't put either of those options past him. The guy is pretty sad.
Yeah I saw that in the video T-shirt only no hoodie!!

That being said, that last video was insulting not only to his audience but to his buddy Pokerkraut. It was a sad and pathetic display. He wears his laziness and poor work ethic on his sleeve as if the world owes him a favor. His lack of commitment not only to health but his success as a professional poker player is comically woeful - not to mention pathetic and embarrassing.
Nevertheless, I want to thank him for showing me what not to do in life. There but for the grace of God go I. He has motivated me to hold myself to account for my actions and to strive to be a better person. So thank you, Tim. Your laziness has inspired me to live a better life.
I disagree I moved to Nevada with nothing, but I did cashout my 401k 2 months after I got here I hardly used it I got an under the table job for the first year I only worked w.ends and played poker during the week. If you have street smarts and common sense then you can easily make it in Vegas this guy has gone busto twice now the third one might send him packing back east!

Took the thoughts right out of my mind.
Dude is a sociopath. Period. he thinks he is better than EVERYONE he has ever interacted with. That includes PokerKraut and Andrew Neeme but it includes everyone else too: squid, myself, SayHelloToMatthew, Jacob, Limitless. Dude tries to big time everyone. There's not a person in this world that he doesn't think he is better than.
Bull****! He has had multiple sources of income. First of all, he was working last summer and that got him through a few extra months. Since then he's gotten paid for working a couple trips. Plus he gets donations every month and gets money from youtube and is getting a ridiculous number of presents from his viewers.
He better hope he goes broke before the summer because if he doesn't get a job as a dealer it will likely be back to waiting tables for Troop unless Molly wants to be his sugar momma.
Ohhh DC I love it you have finally made it to the Dark side you have finally seen what everyone else has been seeing!!

I still don't understand wtf is up with his casino selection. He likes to look at Bravo to look at the number of games, and then still goes to the casino with the fewest games running. This time he went all the way downtown despite Golden Nugget having fewer games, then decided he didn't want to play in that atmosphere...WTF?!? Then he goes all the way back to the strip. I wonder how long his session actually was.
He is trying to find the least amount of regs on a table he's a scared player I am not I was on a 2/5 table at the Bellagio and he was on a 1/3 I held my own for 5 hours until someone got me set over set. His table all tourists my table 1 or 2 tourists the rest all locals.

His vlogs are so upbeat compared to you know who. Neeme visits different poker rooms and even gets games going in small rooms using his fan base and Twitter. When someone mentioned earlier that Trooper should host a game but he doesn't have the personality to do so, it seems like that would be a perfect gig for Neeme! He's got the fan base (2X of Trooper and probably higher average income) and the personality to do it well. Live at Mandalay with Neeme? Luxor Live with Neeme? Harrah's HomeGame with Neeme? Friday Night at PHo with Neeme? Mirage Madness (Mandatory Double Straddle) with Neeme?
Anyway, great vlog! Perfect mix of hands, explaining the March Madness poker scene in Vegas, and some degen Vegas gambling courtesy of a donation from a fan. (I guess the first few Starbucks cards that Trooper got were pretty cool but that got old quickly. Kraut's figurine collection is pretty original and has some character behind it. I think Neeme, who had a little degen in him when he first rolled onto the scene in LV, needs some good ol' fashioned Vegas gamble to his donations. Maybe sports bet tickets? A cash out voucher that he must grind out in a VP machine? Poker chips that he must wager at BJ or roulette, although you can't record that so maybe not the casino chips. I like the sweat with me aspect of the donations. He just needs to put that in at the very END of the editing so that we sweat it with him between vlog.
Go Neeme to 50K!
Because Neeme is mature. The bloke is nothing more then a kid who never grew up probably had daddy issues never heard him say anything on that.
