If Trooper were more eloquent I imagine he would say something like this:

https://youtu.be/uXSrsX3-oPg?t=784

Around his birthday he gets philosophical and talks about doing something else then he goes back to the same routine. He said most recently he wants to do something else but if he's not ready to do that thing now then poker is his best option right now. He's not quitting anytime soon.

DAE think he martingales all-ins like TBC does? Like just keep topping it up to the max and getting it all in and eventually you win some? But if he doesn't win it leads to big losses. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. Just high variance. His current downswing really might be just bad variance because he has shown he can beat 1-3 over several years.

Matt Vaughan doesn't make the list?
His cluttered apartment tilts me but other than that he's Neeme with more tournaments. #EastCoastGrinder

Trooper was a winning poker player until he loudly proclaimed that he doesn't do a poker vlog. He has been on a sharp downhill swing ever since.

Also he might still be on a downswing from the ghost encounter.

He just needs to go back to being funny more often. But that's hard to do when he gets depressed.

Some would say he should build up one channel before starting more. But I agree with you. If one thing isn't working try new things until you hit it. That's what happened with his crappy merch designs until he hit Go Gamble.

One of his friends should tell him to get Go Gamble out there more with affiliate marketing, like the affiliate marketing Trooper did for Blind Squirrel. He could send a coupon offer code to every poker, casino, Vegas, coffee, and travel YouTube channel. They get a percentage of every order that used their code. Even if people don't buy a hat it's still advertising for Trooper's channel.

Maybe the bridge squatter who tells Trooper "Go to church!" should take him in for an exorcism.

In the lean startup movement, there is a term called "MVP" which stands for "minimum viable product". The definitions of these two boldened terms are easy to find in Google.

Trooper's friend Jaman can be an MVP for your idea of affiliate marketing. Specifically, Trooper can consign Go Gamble hats to Jaman in order to see what happens in terms of production, logistics, and especially, market feedback - then go from there.

This is a win/win for both.

The fact is Go Gamble has proven itself to be real brand. Time to squeeze it dry for all it can get.

My guess is that most of us are waiting for Troop to tell us why.

If you want to recount your failures on a daily basis in hopes of improving your life, see a therapist, don't do a vlog.

I think Jaman knows he would be right behind PA waiting to get paid.

So true. LOL I might watch some of that 24/7 livecam. What the f*ck is wrong with me? In the beginning of Trooper's last vlog I actually thought it was funny how bad it was. Sitting here watching a video of some guy in Vegas saying, "What am I gonna eat?" then getting Chick-fil-A. SMH. Then the vlog got better and by the end I thought it was great. Damnit Trooper!

Why do you keep trying to get Jaman to work for Trooper? That's an insult. Jaman is coming out with his own line of Drawing Dead merch.

Trooper should reach out to people like him who really need income from YouTube.

Selling hats on consignment is not a good idea because if someone wanted to go out there and sell Go Gamble hats they could easily have their own made. Trooper doesn't have the money to sue anyone, but even if he did get a judgement against someone, they wouldn't be able to pay the judgement.

The only people who might be willing to sell hats for him (instead of just offering a discount code like Trooper did for his Berkey water filter) are superfans, or someone who wants to be a partner in the whole business for 50/50 or more of the profits. Why would anyone else bother?

Daily diary of what??

Even if you like his personality that is the most boring life ever documented.

NO travel, social life, restaurants other than fast food, museums, road trips, outdoor activities, etc...

Nothing. Just coffee, same jokes, same strip vids and limited poker all the time. It is 100% his life to live but if you are trying grow interest in a channel branch out of the cocoon.

I honestly believe he could be ahead of all these vloggers if he just had kept his ego in check and listened to a little advice.

This made me laugh, because it describes me exactly. I'm a grown ass man with a family, full time job and many other hobbies and I religiously watch Trooper's vlog ... fast food / coffee consumption and all.

Not sure if I've fallen victim to the sunken cost fallacy, but I can't stop watching!

The most accurate post in awhile here

Where is the brief music cue at about 4:30 from? I recognize it but can't name it!

Lol!

I must say hearing Feather curse on Trooper's vid the other day was a bit jarring. He's pretty PG on PK's vlog.

It's the theme from "American Beauty".

Neeme and Brad have shown numbers like hours played, winrate, and amounts won. Trooper hasn’t done a single stat update video that I can recall since his winrate dropped below $19 an hour three years ago. Trooper used to tell his audience what his bankroll was and also stopped doing that.

He only gives his audience daily results and then dismisses his losses when he claims they are a result of bad luck.

A simple way to determine his win rate.

He went from the Strip to the Nugget to sell a hat. It probably took an hour RT all in.

Makes $10-15 per hat.

WR must be less than $15/hr.

The idea of a clothing line is having a turn-key WWW site. Not shlepping up and down the strip. In essence, people are buying a meet/pic for the price of a hat.

Thank you. Thomas Newman is a master. I really enjoyed his work on Bridge of Spies a couple of years ago.

American Beauty soundtrack is correct. Guess this movie soundtrack

Great Vlog again

I wouldn't classify him as a "Neeme". Yeah he's a good guy and yeah I do like to watch his vlogs but he has a lot to improve on still. I actually play with some of the players in his crew and they all have a lot they can improve on.

IMO there's really no one better than JohnnieVibes for true poker content due to his skill level, hand analysis, hand history formats and also for being real and down to earth, basically opening up his life for youtube. He was the first vlogger that I can pretty much agree on almost all of his hand decisions. Second would be Andrew, but he still needs to find a fold button and get a lil better at hand reading.
