What was your result in the Vloggers game? It looked like you dominated the game the night before the Vloggers game but I didn’t see any results from the actual Vloggers game.

Jaman had a funny line wherein he stated that he could play the way he does because he has a 401(k). I literally LOL'ed as did most everyone at the table.

In Tropper’s latest video we hear that quote again: “I can do what I want”.

When a person is in a situation to do what he wants, the requirements are that he has time and money. This is called freedom. Trooper has time only. He has no money. So he can’t do what he wants like buy a BMW, pay higher stakes of poker, or afford a nice gf.

But technically, by having time and no money, he can avoid doing some of the things he hate (like having a boss or waking up at 8am). But this is not the freedom of “doing what he wants”. He just have a bunch of time on his hand while thinking his life choices are endless when they’re very limited.

Nobody has unlimited life choices. Perhaps Trooper does not want a BMW? If happiness in the confines of his own choices mean he drives a Hyundai and does not have to go to a real job every day then why is that wrong?

Simply because his life choices are not your life choices does not mean he isn't doing what he wants.

Tom Brady could not outbid Bill Gates in an auction for something they both want. Has Brady life failed because he clearly cannot do "whatever" he wants?

Now, before the usual suspects pick apart the analogy saying "But Brady has super bowls and a hot wife and millions of dollars and Trooper has clothes laying on the floor" I'd like to point out not all of us get to be NFL quarterbacks or bang supermodels, but we all have to decide what makes us happy in the confines of our resources in life.

Trooper has done that and a few in the thread should do the same.

So that's what it takes?

The Pimp makes some good points as I can see how someone can take the "I can do what I want" sthick as self-affirmation, but if it's one thing that we've learned watching his vlogs is that he doesn't want to do much. Andrew has shown 10x more of Vegas in a fraction of the amount of Trooper97vlog and Andrew's vlog is a poker vlog and not a "lifestyle/Vegas" vlog. Now granted that Tim doesn't drink, smoke, party, or trick so that eliminates a huge amount of Vegas activities. We know he likes metal, coffee, American fast food and Hodge Twins/Gary Vee. I don't know how anyone still watching his vlog is expecting anything else too different. His vlogs are very consistent as far as content. His core audience seems like a reflection of himself, just basic folk who "don't like nothing too fancy". He can still "do what he wants", but what he wants to do seems more like reflection of his lack of wants than money.

If you can have -$1k+ sessions a couple of times of month, you have 1k to take a trip for a week to somewhere if that's what you really want to do.

I can't tell. Is it better to be banging a supermodel that makes money than you and have to work 20 Sunday a year or be TheTrooper?

I can't tell. Is it better to be the Trooper or someone who hangs around the internet talking about the Trooper?

I agree that you pretty much know what's coming when you watch any of Trooper's vlogs nowadays.

I have to watch them, so I can keep up with this thread, as 90% of the content is about Tim.

Only takes 5/10 minutes, and I usually watch while I'm clearing my emails or similar.

Andrew's are definitely the best that I've seen thus far, and his laid back demeanour is contagious.

I enjoy Boski's as they're the only MTT vlogs, and I once upon a time thought I could play tourneys

Jaman,

How many times did you pick up pocket queens in the stream? Looked like twice or possibly three times from what I could see.

Turd I've already told you that you are exiled from this thread. Beat it.

I dont think this came off as you intended. Because absolutely rather talk about trooper on the internet instead of being trooper.

If i magically woke up and was Trooper?................ **** me. After the initial panic attack of being 45 without anything to my name, i would then turn to 2+2 and actually listen to the ‘haters’ and turn this ship around.

I've been following Trooper for a long time, I think I was one of his first 200 subscribers or so, and I really want him to do well. But watching him use his Boosted board in traffic with no safety gear on is making me almost wish for something to happen. It's tilting me every time.

In the latest vlog, he was just sitting in between the straight lanes and turn lanes talking to the camera with cars driving by on las vegas blvd. Not smart.

Not defending trooper here, but you do realize there are people out there that have evolved past collecting overpriced objects or "affording" a girlfriend. Some of us also actually have personalities and dont have to "buy" women......

Time is definitely a requirement and money is to a lesser extent. Depends what you want out of life. If collecting objects is how you view living the life you want, have at it. Some people value experiences more than objects.

of course, but you can tell if Trooper had money he would buy those flashy things.
Why do you think he has the car he has, and moved to where he lives now?

He lives at a very average apt complex (although his gym is pretty nice) and has an average car. It was pretty pointless for him to move into an unfurnished apt as he obviously is not going to buy any furniture. If he wanted to move up from Desert Manor, he should have moved up to a better furnished apt. If he wants to live like he currently is, he might as well live in a tent or a van and not drop $1200 a month on rent. Seems like he is already down with the minimalist lifestyle, so why is he wasting money on renting an apartment?

Finally watched a Trooper video.

First, a hospital visit is the best possible outcome zooming around on that stupid skateboard.

Second, at no point was I entertained. Different strokes, I guess.

Why do you think Trooper has a desire to buy flashy things? It seems to me that he almost pathologically avoids anything that would make him look materialistic.

He dresses like a nine-year-old, keeps his clothes in a heap on the floor, and eats a very basic rotation of cheap food, whether he is eating out or cooking for himself. He could easily afford some basic furniture and presentable clothing; those things are quite cheap in the US. And yet he chooses not to buy them. Most of the time he does spend money, it mostly seems to be on things he thinks will be useful for his vlog.

Check out the vlog from back in the day with he and Harry in the hotel room with ~$30k'ish in cash from sit n go's. They we're flashing it and Yo, Yo, Yo'ing it up like 2 rappers on Instagram. That's probably where people are getting the impression that he would ball out if he had it.

The real thing that is tilting is those dam dust spots doesn't he know he can clean them? Half of his camera is already falling apart.

From Google - Dust in the front and back elements are easy to remove. You can do it on your own with the right tools. You can clean it using an air blower, lens brush, carbonized lens pen, and microfiber cloth. ... Some have attempted to clean their lenses using a vacuum cleaner.

I can't defend his Boosted Board actions, I'm on record as saying it's just dumb. To be fair, judging by the actions of cars around him in the shot you are referring to, he was in the left turn lane waiting for the light to turn just as he should be doing assuming you are on a bike or skateboards were legal on the strip (are they?).

He wasn't just standing in traffic to get some vlog footage.

Again, not defending.

The OG should be getting more views. I admit I have been watching since he started doing Evil Kenevil ****. But please stop before you bump your head.

Yeah the one he is flashing around his giant donut ... Lool

Huh? This attitude reminds me of documentary you need to watch

30 for 30 .. Broke
