What if........does Boski appear to be broke to you? LOL blowing mucho buyins. I guess 10k or whatever must be a lot of money to somebody like yourself.......and you're sure he hasnt had backers for those 8 entries? And again, 80k is a lot of money to you? LOL.

If they have someone buying 80% of them maybe they should play.

Some days you’re the bug, some days you’re the windshield.

he played that hand so bad, maybe he should watch some boski vlogs

For anyone with a net worth of less than seven figures, 80k is considered a substantial amount of money. If 80k means nothing to you, then you have F you money.

If you say so.....

imagine how crazy this thread would be going if trooper did that lol. I guess you get the benefit of the doubt if you're good looking and semi-charming.

Wow! What a gift Trooper's fans from England brought him.

He was close to tears he was so appreciative...and it could not have come at a better time for him.

I'm not a tournament player so I can't discuss specificially what he's doing and it could depend on his stack depth. In a cash game though where you're 100bb deep the smaller flop cbet sizing (usually 1/3 pot) is used when you're betting your entire range. It's just a difficul thing for an opponent to defend against as they have to call and raise very weak against it and then on the turn the preflop raiser usually polarises their range and again it's difficult for the caller as they'll have gotten to the turn with a weak range (or they're overfolding on the flop). You're in a tricky spot on an Ace high board oop with a pair 5's (for example) and facing a turn barrel and a possible river bet.

He should be swapping contact details or arranging to take them for a drink or something. Find a cool bar, vlog the thing like Neeme has done.

Obviously he did none of that though

He spent 12 minutes complaining about his losing session.

He would get more positive comments if instead of complaining, he made comments like “I’ve been struggling at the tables recently and maybe I’m not as good as I thought. But I’m going to use this as motivation to get better. I’m going to put more time into studying and I’ll post some hands on 2+2 and try to see if there are any major leaks I’m overlooking. I’m down a lot this year and it’s really frustrating, but instead of sticking with plan A, we’re going to plan B so we can turn this thing around.”

In that video he also showed some reasons why he tilts. He said he turned his queens over to show his opponent he’s been suckered. IMO he would tilt less if he liked his opponents better; after all it’s just a 1-2 NL game.

Later he says those gigantic pots are supposed to go his way but they don’t. Personally I thought that if you both get the money in and your opponent has the best hand at showdown, the pot is not supposed to go your way even if it’s a bad beat. When he puts a bad beat on his opponent, is the pot supposed to go to his opponent?

If he could change some of this type of thinking it would help his tilt issues and get him to be more positive.

No he did not have a No Gamble hat on it would of been funny if he did! Also he reported he made 418 profit? If he didn't beat spades his buddy he would had broken even!

Thanks for the much needed update!

You realize there's a huge difference...

Brad - acknowledges it, owns it, fixes it, doesn't whine about it

Trooper - constantly whines about it, doesn't own it - always finds someone else who caused it every session, doesn't acknowledge there's a downswing, calls people names for suggesting it

i wasnt talking about the downswing , i was talking about him selling the gift that a fan gave to him

He has tilt issues but is in denial about them.

He also fails to realize that he’s going to get called down lighter than most because of who he is.

If he makes those adjustments he’ll be fine. If not, the losses will deepen and everything else will stay exactly the same.

Trooper's latest video:
What the hell?

It's cryptic, but it's also taken him a lot of time to film and edit that, so I don't think the "should I disappear" is an off-the-cuff thought.

I hope he's OK and just needs a break

Just another attention seeking video.

Asking fans to say “we love you trooper”

Unless he is finally realising his ‘haters’ were actually the people he should have been listening to in the first place

Troopers way of saying he's broke
Took longer than we thought

Things change fast when the 3 day eviction notice goes up.

Suddenly realize......ha ha ha ha

Trooper has built up a pretty nice clothing/hat line ... the question is, will sales dry up if he stops playing poker and "disappears" from the Vegas scene?

Yes

This is why he needs to:
- Stay in Vegas
- Continue making vlogs, but maybe just 3 or 4 week to increase the quality & content
- Continue with Westgate gig (taking 2 buy-ins with him, maximum)
- Otherwise stay away from 1/2 NL
- Start playing the $240 Aria weekend tourney on a Saturday, and giving a decent account of some hands
- Doing all this he loses an maximum of maybe $500 a week tops at NL, and still has a potential tourney win
- Keep an open mind about a dealing gig, especially during WSOP, which will help him a lot with $$$
