Your talking about Troop now. He does not need doctors or dentists. He can fix everything himself.

He conquered a deadly influenza virus without a flu shot.

I'm worried about the tires on the TrooperMobile.

Did Troop bag and tag a babe in Pittsburgh. I'm getting weird Tweets

I am surprised that Troop never comments on groupies or the lack there of. It appears all his fans are a sausage fest.

I didn't even know Kraut was working at Luxor.

That just makes me shake my head at Trooper a bit. Yeah, yeah, "he's doing what he wants" etc, but he could have probably been part time dealing this whole time for a little income and still kept a very similar vlogging schedule to what he already has. Dude didn't even work a lot when he did work outside of the WSOP. With WSOP coming up, do i even have to ask if he looked for a couple months of work?

I mean, if he genuinely pulls in some income from youtube, that would seem like such a perfect gig. Find a dealer job for a couple months and grind that and vlogging, make a nice little chunk of money, then try to coast as usual the rest of the year. it's basically a summer job.

... but hey, who am I? just a hater i suppose. I'm sure clipart tees are gonna fly off the virtual shelf and make me look like a moron.

Unless he wants to go for the Picket Fence look, implants are about $4,000 each..there goes his life roll.

Absolutely ludicrous that a "40 something" has no wife, no kids, no house and only a $15,000 life roll..lol to all you 20-somethings that want to be like him in 20 years..

Ludicrous is the idea that there's only one definition of a successful happy life and you have it. There are a lot of people who don't want the wife/kids/house and get them anyway because they're "supposed" to and end up miserable.

I don't want Trooper's life but if he really does and he's happy with it why try to take that away from him?

There's plenty of other things to criticize Trooper about. His idea of healthy food, his anger issues, his lack of respect for his friends, his lack of planning for example.

As far as statements above about TBC, etc. I would bet that at least 1/3rd of 40-45 year old guys have less than 15k in savings and that is the guys that are slaves to a job, having someone tell them what to do and setting an alarm and fighting rush hour both ways 5 days a week.

Also I would bet that at least 20% or more live month to month and have less than 3k in savings.

So having no boss and doing what you love everyday with 15k bankroll is pretty decent.
I am not saying that's what you should strive for but all things considered that is not bad.

Before i went in, it quit feeling sore. But now, with 3 teeth gone on the right side, (still could use the one done in the far back on the other side) but figured it would be best to do just the one side where i could still eat from the other side of the mouth. the 3 removed was the part left from where the one broke off and fell out, and the one next to it in bad shape, plus one on the bottom i didn't realize was in this much need of fixing.

This guy is a piece of work.

Yesterday's​ Vlog (which is Wednesday), Trooper said he had a very specific plan for Thursday.

Thursday rolls along, (today's Vlog) and Trooper cancels his "very specific plan" and decides to stay in Pittsburgh another day. Just unreal this guy is.

Well you could guess what happened and you would probably be right.

This has got to be something wrong in this guy's cranium. That or there is something stressful to deal with back at Casa Del Trooper.

So in today's Vlog, Trooper lays out his plans for Friday and beyond.

Will Trooper stick with his game plan ?

Based on past performance, I would bet against him.

46% of Americans don't have $400 in savings to cover an emergency expense. That is insane. How are we functioning as a society with almost half the population living paycheck to paycheck? I'm assuming Troop is doing fine with Youtube/social media earnings, patreon and poker. How has his winrate been recently at the tables?

Just watched the latest from Froop.

Road trips are great on paper but if you don't have the financing to not sweat the expenses and if you are not winning (if it's a poker road trip) they won't end well. It's clear this has not been a well executed or well ending endeavor for Troop.

Estimates are going to be about -3k via poker and expenses. Plus rent he spent almost 4K in tha last month and his subs are about the same as when he left (plus 1,000 or so).

His views are 15-20k/vlog so there was zero uptick in overall viewership.

My feeling is Troop hightails it back to Vegas over the next 2-3 days. Takes another week off from vlogging, then goes back to 1/2NL just in time for another WSOp wasted with zero change in stakes or bankroll.

I want to see this guy succeed for a change but he's his own worst enemy due to his lack of plannng, execution, and follow through.

WSOP 2017 will be another wasted opportunity for him. (That's the third WSOP for those who have been watching).

Be cool if he was just transparent.

"Bankroll was on swoll, road trip/downswing puts us at $x. I've decided to (either) A) Audition for WSOP dealing job and bust ass doing that 40 hours a week, plus play another 20 hours a week. (or) B) Play 1/2 for 60 hours a week."

And then give us real insight and accurate accountability into the WSOP Challenge.

Trooper probably gets disgusted every time someone says he should get a dealing job during the WSOP even though it's a good idea. He used to constantly complain that his job was holding him back and that he would be more successful if he wasn't working. Probably also thinks he can just play more poker and crush the games.

They actually both have a kid. They just don't like to talk about it.

Trooper used to have his subs increase the most during the WSOP. Andrew, Boski, Brad, etc. didn't even vlog during the 2016 WSOP so I'm curious if the number of subs they get goes up significantly.

That pretty much summarizes his life. He plans to do something but then doesn't. It's pretty much being lazy in every facet of life.

Will Trooper's life be any different once he returns to Vegas?

Will the vlogs be any different?

If you re-read what I wrote, the ludicrous part is NOT that he doesn't have a wife/kids/house..the ludicrous part is he has none of the EXPENSES of those three things and yet STILL only has 15K to his name in his mid 40's..

Living in hotels all across the country and paying for Planes, Trains and Uber adds up to quite a bit of expense.
