This.

maybe going pro meant giving handjobs etc

More than 6 weeks since Andrew P. last made a vlog when he tried to convince viewers of his story.

Confirmed ded, busto, in hiding, or a combination of the above?

Did you miss his post in this thread a few weeks back? Or just tunnel vision hoping for worst case scenario like the rest of the haters

OK..just read his January 12th post, I must have missed it.

Still waiting for his first vlog of 2018.

His goal is to do 30-50 vlogs in 2018..sounds like he is as focused at accomplishing his goals as Trooper is..

His skin is wayyyy too thin for internet vlogging.

This is great, now I can write whatever I want and it will all be blamed on Dream Crusher.

Poor guy, I hope he's okay.

Maybe he meant vlog appearances. He came out briefly on Trooper Thursday at the Westage last Thursday.

I apologize if this has been said ITT however I do not understand why you don't take the 100K a year job for even a year or 2. It seems as if you have found a way to live cheaply so you could surely get by off of 30k of that and after taxes you get to keep maybe 40 saved. It's only 1 to two years or your life to set yourself up to do exactly what you really want to do which is play poker 40k plus would give you some liferoll and bankroll to work with. I understand you say money is not important to you so you want to play poker and not do aviation job however, trading one year of your life to doing something you don't want in order to give yourself the best opportunity to do what you actually want seems to me to make a lot of sense.

He's doing just fine, he has been resurrected as Registered 2018 and is doing the reverse troll thing that he perfected in the vloggers thread

Yeah I have noticed the same thing, at a certain point, you will get bored or just stop playing at the best of your game. Unless the game is out of control, it’s going to help pace yourself.

Great vlog Andrew. Keep up the great work!

I think that this happens to be a very good and reasonable suggestion. I will try to word this as diplomatically as possible, I think that there are 2 sub-texts that exist among "professional" poker players who actually have marketable job-skills (i.e. in this reply I am ignoring those whose job potential is not all that great anyway):

• They are young and don't really understand how certain needs change as you age (e.g. health insurance, reasonable retirement options, etc.).
  Things change over time, booms come and go, nothing lasts forever; when you are young the reality of that is not as apparent.
  Having a job gives you a lot more options to deal with those changing needs, changing trends, changing skill needs.
  It is harder to change jobs or get a job when you have long gaps in your resume and/or the job that you are applying for is significantly different than the job you have had for the past several year.

• They really don't want to work and having the title "professional poker player" gives them the cover that they need when dealing with family and friends (other kids become professional students, rather than professional poker players, but the underlying sub-text reason is the same.). The job title "slacker" just doesn't have the same cachet.

Of course, they will come up with "reasonable" explanations to dodge the underlying sub-text issues from above: Money doesn't matter, I value the freedom that this job gives me (i.e. not having to actually do anything).

LMFAO ^^

Maybe you should have tried to become a psychiatrist in real life instead of a make believe one online LOL

Bikeking is waiting to see if there's an opportunity with the overseas job. In the meantime, it's his life! He can do whatever he wants. You need to find some hobbies dude

Fairly accurate answer to that post based on what Bike has posted.

Bikeking - ignore the haters man. Good luck in 2018, looking forward to more updates.

I think the Bikeking posted a new vlog. It is quite interesting.

Looks like two posts, curious how he’s doing.

PK is sitting on a gold mine and won’t take the bait. He lives out of his car and that story is 10 times more interesting then whether or not he has hours to qualify for a free roll. There are videos on YouTube with millions of views about living out of your car and the struggle that comes with it. Take your viewers on that journey and still mix in some poker content and you will have more viewers then Neeme possibly. You are limiting your audience to a few people that play 1/2 and grind daily tournaments, focus on the sleeping in the car aspect and you open your audience to millions.

True, but other than the casinos he plays at, he probably doesn't want to give out a lot of clues of his car and places he parks at for safety reasons.

Or Not.

I actually feel the same way and finally registered here just to respond. There do seem to be a few inaccuracies or things that have changed over time having read the whole thread and watched his Vlog. I know I’ve heard him say he shipped a $20K tournament (maybe it was second place) and that’s where he got his initial money and then I read him saying he got a family inheritance. Little lies like that are usually the basis for more lies.

I’ve also had quite a bit of experience with WU and can tell you what you posted is correct so unless they made exceptions for this one person it doesn’t make sense. I’ve done more than $40K in business with them over the years and they would never break rules for me.

I’m not interested in calling the kid a liar but there have been some questionable things happen.... IMO....

On the other hand- what is the point of all this?? Usually it would have come out by now that he’s borrow money all over town or he would be asking for cash if this was a long-con....

I can’t put my finger on it. GL at the tables...

In his latest video he does a day in the life of living in a van.

It seems like he is really hurting for money.

He talks about how he fills out a survey to get Jack in box coupons every lunch, and can eat 1200 calories there for cheap so eats there everyday. Also can't afford more than water at starbucks except once a week. Somehow thinks Jack In the Box is healthy . Also concerned about $10 gym savings a month.

The entire living in car thing seems to be about saving money as opposed to a lifestyle choice.

Looks like he took up your suggestion. New vlog out.

I really enjoyed BikeKing's "living in my car" vlog. Probably the best vlog he has done.

Brad's newest is good too on his recent upswing, after the worst downswing of his poker life.

I enjoyed Neeme's, Boski's and Kraut's recent vlogs, as well.

Nice to see so many people putting out good content after watching that swill Trooper scrapes up each time.

'2x speed' was made for Trooper's vlogs the past month..
