What do you ghink someone would pay for a non professional editing service?
It doesn't matter that he's a "non professional". The only thing that matters is the end product and Trooper with his skills can deliver quite a lot. There's ton of people searching for video editors to cut out 5 seconds of material or to split a video in half or to attach an intro to their weekly ****ty recordings. Of course it also pays ****ty, but we're talking about side gigs here.
He could easily find a full time job as well. They take worse, believe me. And this way he would be a "professional". I'm sure even Clubs would hire him for weddings!
But of course he would need to work for a man then, which is probably a no go anyway.
Sure narrowing a range to 2,2 only could be argued by some. But with the action and by that river bet, dude doesnt have anything else but 22. Terrible call.
Trooper's new video was pretty sick. After the talks of 4am wakeups to get footage, I never would have thought that he'd be out on the strip neck and neck with The Deuce.
No poker player (or any human being for that matter) should be stepping foot on the Venetian premises for a multitude of reasons. Do your research.....

As a professional poker player he should go wherever he thinks the tournaments with the best potential ROI are. I know the Venetian hasn’t been kind about online poker but Boski is trying to make money. If Venetian is the best spot for him to make money there’s no reason he shouldn’t go there

So if the money spent in The Venetian went towards supporting something completely abhorrent and morally repugnant, you're fine with that? Like I said, do your own research.

I played at the Venetian last week and I'll probably do it again on my next trip to Vegas. The reason I would have for not playing there would be if the culinary union goes on strike and I would have to cross a picket line to play.

So you are one of those that if it only affects you directly, you might think about it. I get it.
I boycotted Venetian for a few years after Black Friday. As one of the highest volume PokerStars players, it affected me more than most. The Deep Stack Extravaganza runs about 6 times per year and generates very soft fields. Other than the June WSOP madness, a few Wynn Poker Classics and the WSOP circuit events, there aren't many live MTT options in Las Vegas.
The first 5 minutes of Neemes new vlog describes my thoughts on the situation pretty accurately.

You can't just put a man on 1 hand. It is better to put someone on a range of hands and estimate the probability of them holding a certain hand from that range. His limp/calling range UTG is usually something like [22-99] [54s+] [Axs] [JTs+]. On the board of 963K2, I check 3 times. He could easily bet big on the river for value [22] or as a bluff [54, 75, 87, T8, JT, QT, QJ] There are far more combos of bluffs than value and I only have to be correct 33% of the time for my ace high call to be profitable.
You could argue that he would bet the flop or turn with some of these straight draw hands some percentage of the time, lowering his river bluff frequency. /strat

I agree with this while understanding that I am indirectly funding the company that helped make Black Friday happen. I will be cutting back my attendance at Venetian going forward.

While online poker is reason enough not to ever step foot into Venetian, it really goes way beyond that to other issues.
I dont know about you, but I personally do not support ethnic cleansing or apartheid. Sorry I had to spell it out, but it is what it is.....In no way do I want to turn this into a political thing, but Addelson already did that for us.....
I would liken it to buying a Ford product in the 1940's if you knew Henry Ford supported Hitler. Except as far as I know, Henry Ford didnt send Hitler millions of dollars. Which makes Adelson worse.

I agree with this.
However, at this point the dollar is pretty tainted.
We all got blood on our hands.
I support a Venetian boycott as well, but you have to compromise your ethics almost daily just to live in this world.
Back to our regular programming.....Trooper sucks.

Not a very good comparison since Addelson is a big supporter of Israel.
If you owned a B&M business would you support a competitive online version of your business that would take away your customers? Let's face it online poker is dead in the United States, with or without his support.
Not a very good comparison since Addelson is a big supporter of Israel.
same thing but Zionism is just not out in the open. Maybe Adelson can start covering the US government’s billions and billions that have been sent to Israel
I continue to find Boski hilarious. The never changing tone of voice, the player descriptions (Asian male, age 50-100 was great), the trolling of other vloggers, very entertaining.

Boski is great ... he has so many subtle trolls against Trooper, like in the last vlog where he was recapping the first hand and said "I look down at two red LAAADIEES!"

Also, the whiteboard game is top notch, A+.
Yes, but who's really winning here? Trooper is constantly on Boski's mind.
From his trolls, it appears he is watching every Trooper video, and some of them twice given the details he is picking up on.
