Well, good ole' 97 gave half it back today and then went on another long tirade on the haters and his 7th grade teacher for some reason. Seriously, I am not making this up.


btw, Trooper says we are guessing wrong on who he is mainly talking about on his rants. So that rules out PK and Boskie?

Trooper is really unstable now. His thought process was bad before..... He is all over the place now.

Talking about a situation that happened 35 years ago?

Blackballed, you need to pull your boy aside and talk some sense into him.

Trooper's explanation as to why the villain with QQ played the hand poorly is yet another demonstration of how limited his knowledge of the game is. Trooper raises to $10, villain 3-bets to $30 with QQ, Trooper 4-bets to $100 and the guy calls with $200 more behind. Trooper claims the only two reasons villain called the $70 more (rather than fold or shove) was villain knew he was behind and was looking to flop a set or that villain thought he had the best hand, to which Trooper says is dumb because if Trooper raises to $100 villain must have known he was behind. He's completely mired in his own mindset and doesn't seem to understand others may approach a hand differently than him. He also doesn't consider the possibility that villain put him on a range that included AK and was looking for a safe flop before getting his $200 behind in on the flop.

He still has fans on YouTube backing him and telling him to expose people in the videos. And maybe he has other issues going on? He sure has been really pissed off lately. Saw these comments from the video a couple days ago (and he also made more threats against haters):

His Youtube money is probably tanking lately and the initial curiosity buys of his new coffee have worn off. The walls are closing in on Troop.

If the last laugh is buying Starbucks and teriyaki madness everyday will he complains about running so bad at 1/2 for his whole poker career, that's a pretty pathetic thing to laugh about

Could the nemesis Trooper is talking about be the RoastKing?

That would be my vote

But isn't he talking about another Vlogger? That wouldn't be roastking if so

I'm not calling $70 and leaving a SPR of 1:1 with QQ hoping to fade an A or K on the flop. You lose out on any fold equity you may have preflop and lose all value from AK if they shutdown.

RoastKing could be a vlogger's gimmick.

And Trooper knows it.

It could be the OP of this thread who turned out to be a creepy weirdo.

Is RoastKing still around? I completely forgot about him. His last youtube video about Trooper was from 2 months ago, so I guess as of that time he was still...doing whatever he does.

What alternative do you have at these stack sizes? Fold QQ to Trooper's 4-bet? That's easily exploitable. So it's either shove with possible fold equity against AK or shove and race for the remaining 2/3 of your stack against that AK part of Trooper's range. Calling the 4-bet to fade the flop is the lower variance route - yes the villain gives up value against AK post-flop but there's not much value to be had/protected in a pre-flop flip against AK anyway.

I haven't followed the thread but if you are talking about trooper's preflop range, KQ off needs to be considered.
4D chess ftw

The last laugh to which I was referring was that you are contributing to his income by watching his videos regardless of whether you like them or watch them just to laugh at him.

On the contrary, his click/watch is probably worth .07 cents or so. Maybe he watches them in the same light Vegas tourists do Fremont Street Performers?

Is Roast King mrducks? What happened to him?

The reason for calling is not to wait for a safe flop before getting it in. If villain knew that Trooper had AK he should shove and either realize his fold equity or get all the money in while ahead. The reason to call is because if you shove you are very likely only getting called by AA or KK whereas if you just call your opponent's range is going to be a lot wider depending on the opponent (With Trooper's image probably a range of JJ+ is reasonable and maybe wider seeing as how he does occasionally spaz with KQ suited type hands).

Ok, so let's say villain agrees with your reasoning and flats because he knows he'll get pushed on with AA/KK. Then the flop comes 8-high. He's supposed to fold post-flop with a SPR of 1:1?

I don't know what op said or did but does this mean from

CreamOfTheCrop
He's now
BottomOfTheBarrel?

No, villain has position on Trooper. If Trooper shoves on an 8 high flop he could be pretty much doing that with his whole range of JJ+. The range of hands Trooper would call a 5 bet shove preflop with is a lot narrower then his shove range on an 8 high flop.

The thing that still floors me is that all his winnings and hat sales he still has no heat and sleeps on the floor.

Ok, so what you've just described is "calling pre-flop to fade an AK". Same reasoning as what I presented, with the same outcome.

No, its to keep more hands in Troopers range that he can spaz with. And depending on troopers brain and that ‘situation’ trooper can have KQ there also, which obv means other hands too. Not just your precious AK that u seem to be stuck on
