I'm bumping this guy. He's only got 9 videos (5 of which are from Las Vegas - a higher percentage than Jaman's and possibly Vibe's) and he mysteriously has average views that run in the tens of thousands. He discusses more hands per vlog than any vlogger and gives good theoretical reasons for the plays that he makes.

Uses keywords that are very poker related (which probably helps explain his findability and therefore high views on youtube) and displays no to little over dramatic behaviors.

He probably should be invited to future vlogger gatherings.

Nobody last night seemed to.

I suspect we've seen the last of Blowski at these games.

I like Dogebag, but he needs to make more videos ... he seems to put out about one per month which really isn't enough to keep his audience engaged.

Agree 1000%

The guy in 8 was in the last game too, though not a vlogger.

The guy in 1 was a huge donator. Bet bet bet into flopped quads.

I think the logistics of having 9 vloggers in the same place at the same time would be close to impossible.

That game was WAY above Trooper’s skill level. Way above. He had no business in that game.

During Live at the Bike, Trooper was winners a against Matt Vaughn, Jamie Staples, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen.

I know, tiny sample size but so are all vlogger games.

From the OP:

Thank you


Registered, are you dreamcrusher?

No.

Boski and Trooper are nothing alike, but I would certainly have dinner with both and probably have a great time.

Boski also has a pretty long track record iirc. Regardless, they are both being villainized by a few, while many others enjoy their content. If I could give any piece of advice it would be completely forget the haters and only concentrate on the fans. I see too many people on the internet with a good thing going just fall to the trolls. Same goes for all the other vloggers too.

Glad to see a BikeKing update, even if it is pretty dull. The one thing that seemed crazy to me is that he's working towards hours of a freeroll and working to build his roll but putting in SO FEW hours. He had 16 hours in a week and 41 in 1/2 a month.

Dude, this is your main job. (I know he has a side job too.) Put in 40 hours a week into poker and that will be 160 a month. If your other job is under 20 hours, this should be very doable, especially as you are building a bankroll.

You need to work harder to build the base of a bankroll! Once you get up to $20K or $40K, you can take weeks off and relax but this is grind time. Do it!

Trooper has had this same issue and I know of several people who have tried to play poker for a living that just don't put in enough hours. It's a work ethic issue! Same reason why many people fail at being their own bosses.

A Honda Element (especially if customized) is probably the best vehicle for stealth urban car living.

Not a fan of annoying posts from Registered 2018 (ironic coming from me, right?) but he definitely writes better than what Trooper is capable of.

Also, the lack of profanity every other word is a give away.

Promo money should definitely be tracked separately. Players should have an hourly excluding promo money and can have a total income including promo money.

The reason for this is that if you play at different rooms and track your results to analyze later to see how well you are doing on each day of the week, at different times, and at different casinos, the promo money will skew your results way too much. If you have 2 high hands on a Tuesday night, it will inflate your hourly for Tuesdays way too much and will make you believe you should play more on Tuesdays than say Thursdays.

The same is true for monthly stats. If you have a month where you hit 3 high hands at $500 a pop, it will really over inflate your stats and will give you a FALSE sense of success when in reality, you are not doing that well.

At 1/2nl, a $20/hr win rate over 160 hours is $3200 a month. If you hit just 1 high hand for $500 that month, that raises your hourly to $23+. 2 high hands is $26+. And 3 high hands makes you think you are crushing it at almost $30/hr which is a 50% overestimate!

Losing and break even players use promo money to inflate their numbers to make themselves feel better...just like Trooper. I'm sure he counted his BBJ years ago as pure poker profit from his amazing skill of hitting BBJs. He knew he was gotta get the BBJ when he saw a physical tell from his opponent on the flop. He's taking that physical tell to the grave with him.

True DC fashion!

No way I always Liked DC you can't kill him.

Yea sure go ahead and call the cops on something as stupid as what he does they may just arrest whoever calls.

Can you please supply links I would love to see these videos.

DC this guys has been mentioned in here many times at least 3x that I remember.

Ducks there is no way in hell Boski can ever catch Trooper... Boski is making way more money and is a way better player.



DC the hell they ain't last year I saw a guy riding a hover board on the sidewalk he got tagged! It's illegal to ride a skateboard on the strip. Same for bikes.


Sheesh send the trolls my way I can only wish to get (Trolls/Haters) might help me out!

I ran into the Trooper yesterday at a Starbucks and had a conversation with him for about 30 minutes - he was engaging, intelligent and personable

Wow, this will upset this community for sure....

Would you recommend his interior decorator?

Trooper would have played much better than boski. He wouldn't even think about sitting there at times with only $158 in a 5/5 game with multiple straddles. And Tim wouldn't be buying in for all one dollar chips. That game was way more above boski's head then trooper's.

I've been subscribed to DogeBag for a while, he's a smart kid who plays pretty well and his content is fun to watch. He said now that school's over he should be putting out more stuff.

same here. comes off as someone I would hang with. Also enjoy PokerStatistics.. 98% hand reviews... just wish he'd come out with more content.

Once asked about this, Troop said it was a crease from sleeping on his pillow.

He also commented on breaking his nose twice.

It has been my experience that a real tough guy smiles where a punk would mouth off.

Funny discussion on how to account for freerolls.

How does Troop account for the hand-outs and gift cards he receives?

What happened to the cup collection?

Did he trade it in as a down payment on the board?

Neeme is looking more and more miserable at the vlogegr games/MU.

Limited $ upside, away from home, and additional work preparing vlogs.

Jaman was on vacation and acted like a guy enjoying it.

not sure how you could take that opinion away from the stream. It didn't seem like seat 7 was the best view from the camera angles. Not to mention that if you heard/watched Neeme's live stream prior to the official stream, he seemed to be in great spirits.

Mr Bill Poker Vlog #20 is published! Rounding at the JACK Casino in Cleveland! Good stuff!!

I get the vibe that Trooper is in this thread on a daily basis, but I don't believe he's posting under another account. That's a bit silly. I'm sure he's smart enough to understand he's not gonna sway popular opinion either way.

This is also true.

The $1 chip thing screams "Look at me, I can out a-hole everybody."
