1. its a big 'FU' to the poker rooms for not letting him film. he's basically saying, 'ok, you don't want free advertising for your room to my tens of thousands of fans who religiously watch my vlog every day? fine, i then i don't need your business either.'
2. trooper's biggest problem, and the reason he has gone broke in the past, is that he hasn't put in enough hands at the table. playing online will help in a couple of different ways: a) he will get in more hands in less time. trooper has already proven that as long as his busy schedule doesnt stop him from getting to the table, that he can earn a very respectable salary from playing poker. this wont be as much of a problem online, where he can still get in 2k+ hands a day despite his busy schedule if he focuses on heads up. b) he will probably save 4-5 hours of his day from not having to drive to the casino, park, walk, and get distracted by everything going on around the strip. that is 4-5 more hours a day that he will be able to grind poker.
This made me laugh... You're probably one of those people that think starbucks should have sponsored trooper already. Give him a million bucks a vlog.
In a lot of troopers videos he is LOSING money. Not now, but when he was he had people saying he should stop gambling. Not a good look for the poker room imo. Most of trooper fans don't even play poker in Vegas.Most of them watch because they want to see the strip and downtown.
Andrew has more poker followers in 2 months. People care more about Andrew poker content than Troopers poker content. Trooper vlog is more about food, walking around the strip and having dry humor. Funny thing is he is complaining, and cussing about everything he does on the strip. Trooper imo makes things look more negative than positive. Not the guy I want to be face of my poker room.
