On a separate point that booster board he rides seems pretty dangerous. To him when he rides it on the road with no helmet and dark clothing and to him and others when he is on the sidewalk. Tbf he actually seems pretty competent at riding it but only needs to go badly wrong once and might not even be his fault when it does. Just seems like an accident waiting to happen
A bunch of people told him to wear a helmet a while back. Several even said he should sell Go Gamble helmets. He just doesn’t want to.
I’m not that surprised the MGM kicked him out. The floor said not to talk about it anymore. Then Trooper wins a huge pot off the guy, and mouths off criticizing both him and the floor. It’s not much different than the mods on any forum telling posters to stop; and if someone tries to be a smartass and criticize the mods, don’t be surprised to get banned. When the floor or the mods say that’s enough, and you keep going anyway then you risk getting kicked out or banned. Even though in this case Trooper probably should have been allowed to stay with the other guy getting kicked out.
Also sounds like the dealer probably sided against Trooper because the other guy tipped big. And from the dealers perspective, maybe he wasn’t at the table long enough to see how bad the other guy was.
Even assuming his story was true, Trooper made a couple of comments that were out of line. On the other hand, if that guy was as bad as he says then I can see why Trooper would get upset with him and tell him off because the guy would deserve it. The other players at the table were probably rooting him on, but why wouldn’t they complain when Trooper got kicked out instead of seat 1?
I wish we could hear the story from someone else because people often try to make themselves look good in situations like this. It sounds like Trooper was owning this guy at the table so maybe he shouldn’t have said anything after winning that big pot.
