I was there the night of the HPT and other then the tourney the place was dead!!

That’s what all his cheerleaders say. “The haters criticism is irrelevant, they’re jealous, they’re obsessed, etc.”. It’s just an ad hominem attack from fans who are so angry at any criticism of him that that they go on the attack.

I’ve never seen a Trooper fan make a comment like “He is a hater but he is actually a pretty reasonable guy and is making some pretty good points.”

No I don’t. I actually find his videos to be long and boring, skip several of them and often skip ahead to the poker stuff. This is the first “fact” you use and you can’t even get it right. It takes me as much time to watch 1 Andrew Neeme video (because I’ll watch the entire thing) as it does to watch at least 4-5 Trooper videos (because I tend to skip over the non-poker stuff; I could care less about his diet). It takes me as much time to watch 2 Golden Knight playoff games as it does to watch a few months of his videos because he barely has any poker in them at all anymore.


As for your other comments, yes I read the Youtube comments. That takes very little time and I do that for any person I watch on YouTube. So what? Sometimes there are some good comments even on YouTube.

I’ve been checking his twitter recently since his tweets about the tournament at Westgate because in case you haven’t noticed, he put up some interesting tweets about that recently.

I haven’t checked his Facebook in months.

Yes I do post a ton on here. I find this thread to be far more interesting than his videos. And as much as I post on 2+2 there are still a lot of posters who have far more posts than I do. Big deal. Many of my posts are shorter than this one and it’s easy to post something quickly here.

As much as I post I can’t even compete with the posters in the thread below.

100% FACT..

I really appreciate Steve00007's contributions to this thread. Most of us only contribute opinions, but Steve copies and pastes all the best gossip material. As far as I'm concerned Steve is the president of this fan/troll club. And being addicted to this website is no worse than the millions of people who are addicted to Facebook or Reddit.

If everyone who actually reads the vloggers' social media or YouTube comments took a moment (like Steve does) to copy and paste any really interesting or funny things here, this thread would be a fantastic collection of all the best vlogger stuff.

I actually like reading MrDucks and Steve’s posts. They provide honest criticisms. And by honest, I mean brutal.

Steve gives an all around criticism(Poker, personal life, home furnishing, diet, fashion) of Trooper while MrDucks(my favorite) is a specialist critiquer who digs deep into Trooper’s personality and mental behavior.

Agreed. I don't follow trooper on twitter and can't remember the last time I watched one of his videos so it's always nice to have someone report itt when trooper inevitably puts his foot in his mouth or does something stupid without thinking.

Trooper’s cheerleaders and Trump supporters have the identical MO. Coincidence?

Just want to hammer this down.

If you've watched trooper for 2 weeks in a row, then you don't need to tune in. Same stuff, day after day. There is no work being put in from him. He is not trying to improve.

Take someone like Jaman on the other hand. Just spoke about wanting to do better...be better, and his vlog has shown it dramatically. I've binged the entire thing in the last 6 weeks or so and it is seriously getting better and better. Trooper is the same as it was 8 weeks ago, basically the same as 8 months ago. It's easy to lose interest really quickly.

Too many vlogers to view. I check Boski's results before watching to save myself from "And we are out."

He also bans comments he doesn't like which makes the discussion pretty boring. Then he mentions how "positive" the comments are.

I legit think Boski is just basically trolling everyone. Or he is Autistic, or one of those guys that is just completely clueless to real life. Like the Asian guy that sang she bangs on American Idol.

In fairness, I'm pretty faded so I hope this makes more sense than it seems like is does when I just re read it.

I have met Kraut and Boski and liked both.

I understand the problem between Kraut and Trooper.

I do not see a reason for Boski to troll him.

Saw him two weeks ago at Harrah’s. I haven’t been around lately:

He was grinding to get into the WSOP freeroll. Nice kid but way too quiet at the table.

For years I had heard great things about this "superbook" and I finally checked it out the other day as i wanted to place each way bets on golfers. Of course they didnt have those bets. Parking is nice right outside but walking in you get that usual dark and dreary vibe. I saw nothing special about this place whatsoever. Clearly overhyped. I went to the Wynn book the other day...bright, airy and welcoming. If Westgate's best asset is their supposed "superbook" where you cant even place normal golf bets, I'm guessing this place wont exist in it's current form for much longer.

Just started watching this blog and got to the 88 hand. Out of curiousity, do you ever try to reverse engineer the villains thought process to try to figure out how they were able to call you in spots like this? Or would it be a complete waste of time?

Have you ever met someone that is autistic? If you had, you wouldnt be making that ignorant statement.......

You have to play 120 hours by 6/1 to get 25k in starting chips (Bally's). And you better believe there are plenty of other people out there that are grinding more than that to get the bonus chips. I myself considered going for qualifiying but there are several negatives to all of this. First off the top 2 get a WSOP Main seat. You could very well end up with $500 for finishing 11-50th in the tourny after grinding for 120 hours ie $4 an hour , or absolutely nothing. Secondly if you do win a seat, you can take the seat or $7500 as a cash option, which is a 25% reduction. Seems like Bikeking needs the immediate cash not a longshot at glory. Could he sell 50%? You tell me.

There are much better ways in Vegas to grind out hours and get a better return then trying for a WSOP seat. For myself, I decided to go with playing 20 hours at Planet Hollywood, get a free buffet, and get a free entry into a $10k guarantee where $2500 goes to first place. Seems more logical to me but what do i know....

Preflop : I have a pair, I call
Flop T33dd : I have two pair, I call
Turn 4o : Another bet? He must have AK or a flush draw, I call!
River Kd : Allin? He must be bluffing, I call!

I am guilty of trying to play on a higher level than needed. Against the lower buy in players I should be playing more ABC, value betting more and bluffing less.

Sorry if I'm sounding critical here but if you know that, why do you do it against these tourists? Save the higher level thinking for the higher level villains. i am in no position to give advice as you are infinitely better than myself, but I'm actually perplexed at these higher level maneuvers against tourists and maniacs that have no regard for thinking whatsoever....

Neeme video excellent...standard.

I'm proud of Priest. He had a dream and he's making it happen! Inspirational.

The opposite point of view still seems pretty simple to those of us you detest, if you don't like the guy then don't watch his videos.

This seems mesmerizingly easy, yet unreachable for the haters. It seems like that haters care more that we like watching Tropper's videos than anything else.

Honestly, Boski shills for a rip off artist and people here take that attitude that "well, if I'm not the one getting ripped off I don't care".

Trooper leaves clothes on the floor of his apartment and the reaction is "aw hell no, this **** must be stopped, pitchforks and torches man, this guy is out of control".

Now, before you think I'm just arguing with you (I'm not) I'd like to point out that I understand the clothes on the floor thing is just another trigger because they don't like the things Trooper does and says, fair enough, but how people looking past Boski shilling for ACR yet getting uptight over clothes on the floor during videos from someone they don't like to watch in the first place is actually kinda fascinating.

I don't care for Star Wars, but I don't go on Star Wars forums and constantly bash the movie. Does that make sense, even a little?

Jesus dude show me some facts on ACR if not please don't say anything more about it unless you got proof. The man earned the right to shill promote pimp or whatever the hell he want's to do. Same goes for Trooper I don't like him at all but he has earned the Westgate gig so let them do their thing.

This likely isn't the thread to discuss ACR, but I think even the quickest of searches will give you all the info you need about ACR and the bot accusations, which really isn't disputed much here, or anywhere.

To your point, sure, people can pimp whatever they want.

makes zero sense

this is a poker forum. People come here to discuss all things poker

They are discussing someone who is really struggling trying to make a living playing poker - and is putting it out there for every one to see.

I think many of the posters want to see him succeed. However, they are frustrated b/c of his apparent inability to adapt and change. This results in the endless circular discussion.

I personally used to champion the Trooper if you look in the original thread. I really respected him for going out on a limb ant putting it out there for every one to see. I wouldnt do that. I was one of the dudes that offered him free coaching. But he did not accept.

I dont watch too much any more. But i do check in hoping that he gets it together and wish him the best.

They may come to the FORUM for that, but they come to this THREAD specifically to bash on Trooper, no?

I don't think that is what is going on at all, like not even close. Maybe you do, but certainly not the majority. People here root for the failure so they can justify the hate.
