Yes it is. It shows a lack of class and maturity. Someone like TBC that was born with a disability. It is no different than being an overt racist or homophobia

That’s true, Walk a mile in another man’s shoes.

But no one is beyond help. He is gambling addict and his experiences with some rough people have shape his prejudices. If he quit gambling and stick to playing just poker his life would improve ten fold.

I don’t see this tweet on Trooper’s twitter

Maybe he deleted it. Also I saw it from following the search term "sevencard2003" which picks up all mentions of him.

but would he even pull the trigger as a "black" prob owned the gun before him?

I rarely ever watch PK videos but I guess have the email notification turned on and I have noticed in the last few weeks that he releases his videos usually within 1 hour or much less of Trooper releasing his. Sort of strange. Maybe gets extra viewers?

Many young poker players, myself included, have had that dream. You run well, have a few sessions where you are winning multiple buy-ins and you think "I could do this for a living!" ... No more bosses, no more waking up early and going to work every day. Just poker, travel, the easy life.

The older I have gotten, the less appealing being a full time grinder seems. Sitting in a card room with the same people, day in and day out grinding away at low stakes NLHE or Omaha takes out the joy of playing, even for the most optimistic of players. Having to solely depend on poker winnings to sustain your income is very very difficult, and dealing with losing or even break even stretches will even make the most strong willed and mentally tough people question what they are doing.

Playing poker semi-seriously as a source of income seems much more balanced. Couple that with a full time job, a part time job, a spouse who works and has benefits, selling GO GAMBLE hats, entrepreneurship/other business endeavors and it takes off a ton of pressure at the tables. You can play when you want, have a full or partial safety net when things don't go well at the tables and develop marketable skills and relationships.

You are just making things up. About TBC “has proven that”

Everyone has bad experiences my friend, My 92 year old grandmother was robbed, raped and killed by a black man.

TBC has no filter and his experiences have shaped his thoughts. His disability limits his mental processing of certain things. Walk a mile in another’s man shoe

Damn, now you gotta walk a mile in another man's single shoe? Oof, that's gonna hurt that other foot real bad. I retract everything.

Free my n-word TBC.

Hope you find peace. Let go of the chip on your shoulder

Same for you Tim, and Gramps. Sounds terrible.

It seems like TBC was a winning poker player, on some level.

But over the years, he blew countless tens of thousands on video poker and video blackjack machines.

Truth?

Yea, he martingales Live BJ, VBJ and probably VP, so he wins often and then loses 1k+ when his progession loses and then its time to "Leave town immediately"

This sums it up. The Mandalay Bay attacker was a degenerate gambler that hit rock bottom. Who knows if TBC was capable of violence when he hit got there, but his tone had gotten considerably worse in recent months and the day he goes bust was probably coming soon.

His blog post had the same thoughts I figure the MB shooter had. People were having fun while he was going broke gambling and it was time to even the score. I do not think TBC was an immediate threat, but it's not hard to think that he could get there in the near future.

The MB shooter still had plenty of money didn't he?

Maybe the OG was just sayin TBC was harmless in a round about way

He played poker with him last year or the year before

Excellent point. It seems as if there's a small contingency here that can overlook potentially dangerous behavior because he's autistic and had a rough life.

Not quite, my lease was up at the Juhl and the owners asked me if I could recommend a tenant since we were pretty cool. I had just played with TBC at the Golden Nugget a few weeks prior, but I did not know it was him until he left about an hour after I got there and the dealer and another player were talking about him. He was in this thread around the time saying "I wish I could live in a place as nice as the Trooper." "I'm going to have to leave Vegas because the hotel is raising the price on their monthly rent to $17xx and I can't afford it." I offered him the chance to take my apt $1200-all in and the owners weren't even going to make him sign a lease. After finding out that the Juhl was downtown, he declined the offer, saying that he wouldn't feel comfortable living downtown "around that many blacks", etc... once he found out that I was black, as well as the owners of the condo, he sent me 3 suuuuuper long PM's about his life story and how anyone would dislike blacks if they lived his life. I deleted the last two after I realized that this guy was just being ridiculous and that was that.

The one thing that stuck out was the excerpt about why he perfers black escorts because they're cheaper so he's not racist, he just doesn't feel safe around blacks. .....he's needed help for a long time. Would anyone feel comfortable living near this guy, or being on his immediate left at a poker table after that last blog entry and FB post?

Being autistic doesn't make you a psycho. But you can definitely be both of those at once, as well as a threat to society.

Pretty insensitive tweet from the trooper.

Punt or bad call? Let me know in the comments!

Putting a lot of effort into defending oneself to point out how you're not racist is one of the most dependable signs that someone is actually racist.

GG TBC. You were a savage and epic degenerate and you will be missed by your legion of gawkers and fans (including me). May god have mercy on your soul during your many years in federal PMITA prison.

Holy Boski!! Yikes. Shake that off.

I really like the Boski vlog but his play is quite bad.

Haven’t watched the vlog yet, but I’ll go with ‘punt.’
