Skateboarding laws aren't enforced in Las Vegas, whether it is on the street or at the sidewalk. Trooper has nothing to worry about, legally....until he hurts someone. He won't have right of way against cars in the street and against pedestrians in the sidewalks if a situation occurs that requires visiting court.

Not likely he hurts pedestrians. And he seems super careful in the streets. You can see in one of the scenes that as he enters the street you can see his shadow look behind him very quickly.

It also seems like Trooper will only go to the left lane only when there are zero cars to compete with at normal speed. He weaves in between cars only in heavy traffic. If there's some traffic he seems to stay close to the sidewalk to give himself outs.

Trooper will be fine. Boo hoo to all the haters for this "bad" news.

phew 16k for bikekind is way better than i thought!

I was not asking on behalf of Trooper. I meant he was acting like a complete idiot when riding among pedestrians and it should be illegal on top of the fact he was talking his usual weak crap to them. Karma will catch up to him one of these days and he will go flying. Which I hope he includes in the vlog.

I hate to be this guy, but could Registered 2018 be Trooper? If you could imagine it read in Trooper's voice, it makes sense to me. Especially the most recent one about laws and stuff regarding Las Vegas. I could 100% hear Tim's voice as I read it.

I definitely could be wrong and will probably be shown exactly how I am by the people here. Just kind of makes sense to me and it's plausible deniability for Tim. He is smarter than most people here give him credit for in my opinion. He's not exactly mature and a bit impulsive but I don't believe for a minute that he is as big of a mouth breather as many act like he is here.

This doesn't make his vlog anywhere near as interesting as others though. I think that's mostly due to the majority of poker vlog viewers being regular guys with jobs that want/wish to play more often, especially live. Hence why guys like Brad & Neeme and in turn Jaman are so popular so quickly, comparatively. More people relate a lot more to them. I know IF I had the ability to live the life where I was independent and could just focus on poker, I wouldn't be doing it to live Tim's life, but would be striving for more, like Neeme. And since I live a somewhat similar life in a place where live poker is nearly non existent, Jaman is a lot more relatable to me, and my personal favorite vlogger that I've watched so far.

Boski is just another version of Trooper, who is currently running super hot, and THINKS he's a bigger deal than he is. The both come off as insecure dicks, but again for different reasons. I don't care to watch or meet either of them again. The No Gamble hat was a funny quip, maybe a joke in the moment to rib Tim. It is an unfunny joke when it is played out to this extent and it ruined the game last night. It's run it's course.

So you're wishing another person ill?

This was a controversial topic earlier in this thread.

Too bad. I just hope he's having fun because otherwise it seems like he's wasting his potential on poker and YouTube.


I usually don't read any of the comment sections but I did notice this in today's Bikeking vlog, Trooper left a nice comment:

Yo Andrew! I put high hands right into my stack and count it as part of the session. The reason I do that is because every day I play, the take promo drop from my pots so I figure this is the best way to even it out and make it right. Money comes out of daily sessions, and goes back in. Believe it or not, the couple times I played freerolls, I put the time and buy in (the $10) into a cash session at the room and the stakes I normally play. But I like how you do it too."


I like the way Bikeking tracks promo money separately because then you can't fool yourself about how well you're playing. I see Trooper's point but for example if Trooper runs hot in promos and adds hundreds to his hourly from high hands and such he might think he's making $10/hr and playing well when he's really only making $2/hr and needs improvement.

Registered 2018 has a pompous style that belies an educational level I doubt trooper has.

Many people walking (or driving) around Vegas are tipsy/drunk, high, texting on their phones, taking pictures, etc. Does he seriously expect people to be aware of their surroundings enough to see him coming and move?

Also, Reason #146 for Trooper to only skateboard in safe areas wearing a helmet and face protection is what if he smashes or scars up his face? His face is his moneymaker. He needs to protect that mug.

And don't say then he could just get a job dealing or waiting tables because even if they hired him with a badly scarred face, he would get weird stares and pitying looks from the customers that would make the job unbearable. But he might get those looks now too.

No wonder he's broke

Just a few sad things about how the vloggers game went down:

1. CzechRaiseCharles was not invited back even though in the last vloggers game he played like a maniac just to entertain the audience. The only explanations I can think of for him not being invited are maybe when they planned the lineup they thought he wasn't vlogging enough, or he didn't have enough subscribers, or there were just so many people wanting to get in the game that they only took the first ones who asked.

2. Trooper should have been invited as well. It's okay if he's there as a villain. Heroes and villains make good shows.

3. Andrew Neeme started by streaming live on his own channel, but instead of giving Neeme love, his chat was going crazy about how much they love Jaman. Just felt kinda sad for Neeme there.

4. Brad in the booth trash-talking about Boski when they used to be friends.

5. Hours-long hate train towards Boski in the chat made me wonder if he'll stop vlogging after reading it. He's the only tournament vlogger and his vlogs have some fun silly drama. (Obviously there's a huge opportunity for other tournament players to come into the vlogging space.) I appreciated his comedy attempts even though they didn't go over well.


It was a huge win for Stones though. The vloggers games are among their most popular videos. Other poker rooms should do this, and do it frequently.

LMAO

I know some people who know some people who think he's okay looking and has a nice voice, but God forbid don't tell him that.

Agreed with the entire post, just didn't want to quote it that big. This last point is for sure.

The vloggers community ought to start traveling around the country and getting paid for their trips to lose their money. It's very cheap marketing for these larger poker rooms that could possibly get people to travel and use them as a base to jump out from. I never legitimately had a reason to travel to St Louis, but now I'm at least somewhat interested to do so knowing I could play in a few places while there as well.

Legitimately makes other places more appealing when my wife and I spend a weekend or two away each year and often at least one is in Las Vegas, just so we both can gamble a bit since we enjoy it while also doing other vacation stuff. Sure these places aren't super resorts, but I could see doing other tourist type stuff in St Louis for sure.

This is false. Brad was obviously joking. They've been over to each other's place for videos so they're clearly friends.

Wot??? He looked fine. His vlogs are getting better and better.

why would they invite Trooper after the "I wasn't invited" debacle that happened last time stones had a blogger game.

Would he really want to play with Boski?

You must've missed an earlier post on this page where he was quoted as saying that was wrong and wished he had 16k.

He already has a rather long scar running down the left side of his face down from close to his eye. I don't know why he wants more.

I was disappointed to see he wasn't in the lineup. The first time I heard of him was the first vlogger game. Didn't know what to think back then, but have much respect for him and his vlog now. The game over all last evening was rather boring, where the first one at least had some action.

Also JV was great while running like god.

I was following him before the last vloggers game and am really glad to see him back trying the daily vlog thing.

No excuse for not inviting an action player like CheckRaiseCharles back(if that's why he wasn't in the game) even if he doesn't vlog as much anymore. Same for Hello who sat next to him last vloggers game. And like I've mentioned before, also spewy Poker Priest. Action players make the game. Who were seat 1, 3, 4 and 8? Nobodies. I can understand them not inviting Troop since he was flaky last time.

It looks like living in his car is taking a toll on Bikeking. He needs to take better care of himself and that starts with putting a roof over his head. I hope his second step is a trip to LensCrafters for some new glasses.

Yeah. To lead a better quality of life and for runbad times that come with poker, he needs to get a full time day job, rent a room in a house, and grind in the evenings to try to build his roll. It was obvious he hadn't experienced extended runbad(or bankroll stall) by thinking he didn't have to do the above and could just build a sizable bankroll from a tiny roll. That's an extreme longshot to be able to do that. It's gotta be taking its toll on him.

Bikeking should consider moving up to a minivan, or at least a Honda Element. There is a guy named Nate (youtube: Element Van Life) who has done it comfortably for two years and teaches how to reconfigure his vehicle to be almost like an RV yet much smaller and stealthier. Living in a Prius is ridiculous.

Poker Priest gets more views than I thought. He should definitely be invited. His most recent video before the one he put up yesterday has around 40k views. Video before that has over 20k. And he definitely isn’t a nit and will make the game more likely to be worth playing for other vloggers. He seems like a really nice guy but IMO he should be playing 1-2 and as a hobby.
