That bluff he tried and got snapped off, I am wondering if it actually worked he would have blurred his cards and talked about not being scared at the table.

Someone must have got under his skin, I dont recall anyone trashing him about being scared money.

Troop is responding to 40 years of disappointment, failure, and haters. Not what happened on a Tuesday.

What up, it's Mr. Ducks! I'm back! Missed a few of the Trooper videos but caught up on the thread today and just watched the Easter brunch clip (not the coffee cup time) and the last vlog. Here are my thoughts on things that he's publicly said so it's fair game to laugh at him:

The guy only has 3 collared shirts and 2 are too small. How old are you? My nephews have a better wardrobe than you and they are 5 and 7!

Anyone else only watch his vlog at 2X speed in the background and still find themselves skipping forward?

So Molly chooses to be in the videos so she is up for criticism as much as any reality TV person. She seems really ditsy and dumb. She hasn't said anything close to smart in the vlog yet and I'm pretty sure Trooper is not swinging about his weight class at all. They actually work because she seems actually dumber than he is. I don't think she listens to him (always on her phone) or she doesn't get his 4th grade jokes. She actually seems like a kid in a candy store when he takes her to Bachannnal and she might just be like that. If that is the case, she's just a bimbo with a boob job and this relationship might work as both people think they are doing well for themselves. Also, I think it's fair to judge people by their friends so Molly is with Trooper so that says a LOT about her.

Their lack of chemistry (Frooper and Molly) is cringe worthy! She seems to ignore his corny jokes and pretty much whenever he talks or she might actually be below his intelligence level. I'm not quite sure. Either way, she just doesn't care when words come out of his mouth. It's really awkward to watch.

If you look at the comments, there are SO MANY deleted posts it's ridiculous. Some comment threads have 8 replies out of which 6 have been deleted. Just WOW! Trooper is so thin skinned.

At the beginning of the video, he mentioned playing 5/T in LA. Can you imagine how he could have gotten a few AWESOME vlogs with an impromptu trip to LA. Do some touristy things or non poker things on Tues and Wednesday and then hit up the Thursday and weekend games. How exciting would that be but no! Let's do the EXACT same thing he does EVERY SINGLE day. There's nothing wrong with a boring life but if you are gonna broadcast a DAILY vlog get out of your lame routine and do something. Seriously.

Trooper admits he stayed in Vegas on a Tuesday night to lose $2K at poker while his "girlfriend" went to San Diego. Anyone else see the writing on the wall? The poor sap really has no idea does he?

Trooper makes every bad decision he could to kill mission 3. I think he sabotaged it because the stress got to him or maybe he wanted to have a list of excuses to explain why he lost (variance, it was a Tuesday, better games on weekends, he stayed too long in a bad game, he should have only brought 1 buyin, he wasn't used to the game, he wished he was in San Diego, etc.) so he could tell himself that if the situation was different he would have crushed the game. That way, he can not play 5/T for another 2 years and think to himself that if he had the bankroll, he would be a rockstar at that level.

Asperger cases? Dude, you are as socially awkward as they come. You were one of those cases! The pot calling the kettle black.

Trooper was so determined to prove he wasn't scared money that he proved he was a major donk. The guy has so many chips on his shoulders. When I go to grind, I take a few deep breathes in the car and let everything go to focus on the task at hand. Trooper sits at the table and stews in his own thoughts thinking about the YouTube comments and 2+2 comments and then tilts off his money because he riles himself up like he did with his "scared money" chip of his shoulder.

Anyone else see that he takes hi YouTube money and feeds the Vegas poker economy. Plus hopefully he gets some other recs to come into town and donk off a few thousand at a game way above their level in a matter of hours. How long was his 5/T session? 2 hours? He's really a degenerate gambler at heart.

People in the comments want him to keep Operation Uptick going back at level 2 but they don't understand. Trooper is a quitter in life and he quit a ton of stuff he started (challenges, diets, grinding hours, exclusive content, and the list goes on) so he was bound to quit this operation so you can't be surprised. Anyone else would have went back to level 2 and would aim for level 3 again but he's just a quitter at heart and mind.
Spot on Ducks I said it once I'll say it again their friendship or whatever you want to call it is a sham!

The reason so many people "hate" on this guy is because of how he acts and treats others. We were all rooting for him when he first gave us a glimpse into his life and shared his winrate, charts, and discussed stuff for the first time. Then we saw him struggle and we all wanted to give advice and even come out to help him with coaching, discussing strategy, and how to grow his channel. Heck, a popular poker channel on YouTube benefits ALL OF US! We wanted to help a fellow poker player and a Vegas poker player at that.

Then he pretty much spit in all out faces by rejecting ALL advice and attempts to help without being humble or appreciative but by pretty much saying that we all don't know anything and should shut up. Okay, go it your own way but then when a few people would try to mention some obvious holes he has in his game and in his life, he told the entire 2+2 community (a great resource for many and the reason he went from double digit subs to 4 digit subs) to go and f*ck ourselves. And then he kept this "I'm better than everyone and no one knows as much as me attitude" about everything he did in his daily life. His vlogs got boring and his bankroll busted TWICE! And instead of just explaining how he wants to do his own thing without insulting his fans, he kept calling everyone haters, insulting them, and being a complete d*ck.

Furthermore, he shows multiple times in his vlogs that he is a major *sshole when he berated amateur players at his table, tilted off against everyone who wasn't him, and teased people after they lost (the stupid warm milk incident). And when he's not being a horrible human being at the poker table (instead of an ambassador since so many people watch his vlog) he just sits there silently and doesn't contribute to the game. Trooper is BAD for the game if it wasn't for his vlog bringing in rec players. That's the only reason some people still put up with him. Also, it seems the new followers like him because they've only seen him win and assume he's so awesome that he can tell everyone to f*ck off. They'll learn the truth as soon as he has another meltdown.

I still hope he's just a misunderstood soul but fool me once, shame on you. Act like a d*ck repeatedly and I'm just gonna call you out for being a d*ck. (Shoulder shrug.)

The last straw for many people was his money grab with Patreon and exclusive content and a sham lottery giveaway, then the videos plummeting in quality after some good content in Austria, and finally the unintentional disrespect without an apology to Poker Kraut (who I thought was his friend but they never hang out anymore) and then IGNORING a tons of his fans and deleting their comments asking about the payoff for the weight loss challenge he built up for months. He repeatedly lies about what he is gonna do as soon as it doesn't benefit him anymore and that right there says EVERYTHING about his character and true intentions. Plus he's a cranky, bitter, old man and it's funny to watch him tilt off on the littlest things. That is why I watch. It's like watching a dumb Homer Simpson without any underlying moral compass.

So if this fool is gonna keep posting daily videos of his antics (and that's what it is, antics), anyone has the right to criticize his foolishness and call him out for being a bad human being and a degenerate gambler. If he stops making vlogs, no one will pry into his life. It's like saying you can't laugh at Kim Kardashian after she airs her dirty laundry on a TV show. He just wants to YouTube paycheck and the poker paycheck without putting in the hard work and just cutting corners here and there. That's why he is where he is in life.
Again agreed he's like a 50 yo manchild who the hell calls a player an Aspergers??

And given that you have no idea how someone could end up with a few $1 chips after being busted, thank you for demonstrating that you lied when you wrote that you've played 5/T before.

Molly is a handsome and nice-seeming woman. She went for the extra extra large 90's style fake boobs though, not sure why so big. Gonna cause back trouble later in life, and they'll probably need to be redone smaller at some point.

Thinking back, i don't recall any out of line Molly comments, but then I realize putting oneself on Youtube opens one self to commentary, and I believe she's a grown lady who doesn't need assistance from people ITT.

For all the 'bad' poker habits Trooper has, buying in short to every game isn't one of them. 5-10 wouldn't be the place the start that trend. His usual buy-in level has been 100bb and so buying in at $1000 fits his standard formula. 100bb seems to be an overall accepted 'standard' that is not extremely deep, but also not considered shallow or short stack in most cases. Minimums are usually 20bb-40bb depending on the room, sometimes 100bb-200bb for a specific room.

If I were going to sit down at my first 5-10 game I would probably shoot for $1,000 as my buy-in. Well let's not keep it totally theoretical, that's exactly what I did buy in for at my first 5-5-10 PL game; slightly different - I definitely felt short until I doubled up, but hands were playable w/o all in.

I've told others about Aspy-type opponents more than once. Poker tends to attract more than its fair share.

And then the analogy that he still has X amount more than when he started the challenge, as if he didn't lose a bunch that night.

It's like the analogy that Danny Aiello gave in the movie 29Th street(I think this movie)
He went to the track with $100 with his son. He turned it into like 2k and son left before the night was over.

Later, when Dad returned home and son said, What happened, how did it go at the track? and Dad said, I lost $100. Son said Great so you still have $1900. Dad says, No, I went to the track with $100 and I lost it. lol

Son says but that was your money it was in your pocket, Dad says it was the tracks money until he leaves.

Can't be bothered watching any of the recent Trooper videos, does anyone know if there's been any further mention of the forfeit for losing the weight loss challenge? Been watching Kraut's videos and there's been no mention in them (although I suppose it's less likely to be there as he won the thing)

Damn that was one of Trooper's best vlogs. I got so many laughs from it. It took one Tuesday night @ Bellagio to end his whole Operation. I haven't seen anyone so quick to quit everything he starts. No wonder why he doesn't like sports. GO GAMBLE!

the hate boners for trooper in this thread is laughable. mrducks has to be the biggest clown of all typing up a thesis about him. tldr. doubt many did. I met trooper a couple times. he was a good dude. his videos get repetitive of course and he makes some mistakes here and there, but I wish him well on his future..
I'm not sure if his biggest mistake was starting 5/10 on a tuesday or not going to SanDiego with a hot blond. If a hot blond asks you to go away for a weekend, you go away for a weekend.

He flaked out on that entire challenge.

Also I too was unaware one bad night at 5/10 would end the op. He didn't quit his operation after two big 2/5 losses. Why not grind back hat loss and try again. Oh yea I remember now, Troop never follows through that's why.

Honestly the way troop ended Uptick is the only sensible part of the whole thing to me. If he was going back to 2/5 to build up for another run at 5/T it would be the guarantee to never make money that everyone rightly criticized it to be.

Taking the gain from Uptick and his new plan to play mostly 2/5 and stick to games that are good is the best decision I've seen him make.

Yes, because playing 5/T is sooo impressive lol. There's not a game in any casino in the country that I couldn't buy into and you think it's a big deal to play 5/T lol. For the record, I've run extremely well at Bellagio 5/T and haven't needed to concern myself much with the dynamics of being felted there.

Where I have played the most hours the $1 chips don't even play at 2/5 (unless in $5 increments) but that doesn't change the fact that Trooper gave absolutely no explanation of how he lost his chips. You would have thought that he would have given at least one of the hand histories. Perhaps the images in the video indicated he lost his stack early..or perhaps he got down to $200 and topped up.
