Of course there is a lot of value in this freeroll. It's a FREEROLL. I dont need any breakdown of numbers to tell me that playing in a freeroll is a good thing. LOL.

LMAO @ BikeKing saying that 10bb/hr is "solid reg stats." If BikeKing could make anywhere close to 10bb/hr I'm thinking he wouldn't be busto despite having ridiculously low living expenses.

that doesn't mean it is not a necessary thing. We live in a society where sometimes we have to do things we dont enjoy in order to be a part of it and survive. but I guess that is the millennial mentality these days, not everybody is cut out to work a job. lol, really? well I wish I could sit home and watch reruns of Golden Girls all day too, but guess what until I win the lottery that ain't gonna happen.

lol troop unveiling the secret closet



edit

Yea he showed the secret closet. A dozen rolls of toilet paper all taken out of the package and like 20 bars of soap that he bought last year for some reason.

If this is what is in his bedroom closet, what is under the sink in his bathroom?

Reminds me of :
Viking Lofgren: Hey, lip****z.

Horowitz: The name is Horowitz, *******.

Viking Lofgren: Horowitz *******?

Paco Moreno: I heard it was lip****z.

Viking Lofgren: Yeah, and if your lip ****s, what's your ******* doin'?

Not playing the freeroll, but playing 100 hours to get in. He was crunching the numbers, if it was worth grinding. If it would be a $50 freeroll it wouldn't be worth it. Or if there would be 1000 players to qualify.

Really don't see a problem of calculating your EV. Specially when it's not just a bonus like you said, but a significant part of someone's hourly.

thx troop for thinking of us instead of yourself

pretty nice that his mom pays his rent

Timmy got up at 10:30 and didn't leave the house until 6:30pm, but he didnt want to be lazy.

Also he has a mini rant at the end and says "I know you guys think I am living the dream, running around Vegas" or something like that.

I am actually a little surprised that there must be people out there that think he is living some kind of dream life. Its hilarious and then quite sad.

Here's a tip to skip over the boring/filler parts of these vlogs. Press the L key to skip forward 10 seconds. If watching on your phone you can do the same by double-tapping the ride side of the playback window when using the YouTube app.

Btw you can skip backwards 10 seconds by pressing J. And pause/resume by pressing K.

Playing devils advocate a little but those people would be happier if their jobs payed a liveable wage/ provided some comfort. I know a lot of college grads that are still humping ****ty jobs/ seasonal work with nowhere to go. Of course they share some of the blame by choosing soft degrees (or no degree at all) but it goes both ways imo. I'm just saying it's no surprise those people are stressed af/unhappy when they spend all day at a job that doesn't even pay enough to cover their bills.

A buddy of mine is in this situation and he's lost all hope. Instead of busting ass trying to get out he's basically embraced being poor af on his own terms. I sort of see that with lol "poker pros" too. If they're going to be poor and stressed af working for someone else, why the hell not be poor and just work for yourself?

This is way off topic but if a business owner can't afford to pay his/her employees a liveable wage, they shouldn't be able to open/run a business.

Google chrome has an add-in to control video speed. Hearing the vloggers at 1.6x or even 2x is frigging awesome.

Wasn’t the Harrahs freeroll Tuesday May 29th? Did the schedule change? How did bikeking play it already?

According to Bravo, the tournament is May 29th. Interesting.

This is the second month they did this. Must be April's freeroll.

Trooper calling off with the AK when he could have 70 tells me he's a degen. You don't have to do that in 1/2.

I suspect trooper hand histories would be really bad if written down. It's like transcripts of Trump interviews.

Didn’t Troop open to 12, one caller, short stack ship 70, and Troop reship?

Hand seemed super standard to me.

Like 2 weeks ago the Mods were going crazy about peeps derailing the threads topic.

Great DC comments welcome back Bro!

If I paid you 1,000 would you collaborate with our Hero then? Hell you don't have to film it I will!!


Nate WC back long time no see good to have you back.


It's been stated time and time again he does have a JOB.

Really odd thing is TBC was out of Jail like in a day or two..he was blogging 2 days after going into the big House.

Jeez another -500 what else is new?

My experience has been different. You can't get people to change their work habits for any amount of money. I know people who don't make a lot of money will immediately think "Hey, pay me $70,000/year and I'll show up every day, bust my tail and never call off", but the reality is it's easy to think that when you aren't in the situation and my experience has been that people still, no matter what you pay them, will have the same work ethic and call off just as much. Hell, they call off more in some cases because now they can afford it.

More money does not change people's work ethic, sense of obligation or attendance record, it just doesn't.

I won't say what we pay where I'm at because, well, you have no reason to believe me, but it's more than a living wage right from the day you get hired, only goes up from there and I have the same employee issues that McDonald's has.

There may be a facet of the population who are like your friend and just given up because they don't feel compensated enough to give 100% and I understand that, but my experience is much different.

^^^ yes

So has anyone ever ran witb my thots that Neeme is probably paying for subs/views? I just don’t see how he gets so many kore views than the other vloggers. Also don’t see how Jamman gets so many views, his vids, hand recaps etc are not even top 5 yet he seems to be getting top 5 level views and subs.

Is Rayz Rayl out the game? Really enjoyed his vlogs/outlook on life. He was definitely the most positive guy in the scene deep down imo. Probably thanks in some part to the blunts!

Troop already throwing hints that he won’t play wsop satellites, saying his vlog would be “boring” and “monotonous”. Lol...so much “self awareness” of his videos.

Either troop is afraid to risk his BR or he knows that everyone at the Rio thinks he’s a joke. I guess it’s going to be 1/2 NL at Excalibur again this year during WSOP. I’m sure these blogs will be fun, exciting, dynamic videos.....and not “boring” or “monotonous”.

Really? Jaman is funny, self-aware, and is running like a hot knife through the stick of butter that is his local player pool. What’s not to like? How tilting must it be to lose stack after stack to a guy wearing a Belieber shirt? Yet his table presence keeps the mood up and that part of his game should be emulated by more “pros.”

Similarly, Andrew is just a nice guy at all times (up or down $1000s) with a winning life, cultured outlook, and self awareness of his own poker flaws (Grand Central is a smaller station than he is). And at the same time his analysis is a very palatable version of a Doug Polk-style breakdown without the 200 caveats about the best and worst 56o combo to bluff into 3 different opponent ranges on a coordinated board.

Both he and Jaman come across as good guys to have a beer with and avoid at your table. And yet if they were at my table I wouldn’t rack up and leave.

I love Neeme. I rarely learn much poker wise, but he has a refreshing perspective on life that I find appealing and entertaining.

Very well said.
