I very much enjoy both Andrew's and Jake's vlog postings as I appreciate the thought and craft and subsequent entertainment I experience from each and every one of their uploads.

I used to enjoy The Trooper's vlogs; however, they have simply become a chore to plow through—and which I continue to plough through—but only because I seem to feel some sort of obligation to do so. I have absolutely no clue as to why I feel that way. The actual enjoyment I experience from Trooper's vlogs is extremely minimal. Frankly, I think my main motivation in keeping up with them is it provides the background for the entertainment I experience from everyone analyzing each and every one of Trooper's idiosyncratic life moves.

Andrew just realize you can count the # of haters/losers that try to stirr up ***** in this forum about you on one hand. Responding to them is only giving them creedence.

Dear God. Youtube commentators are the nut low.



Vlogging at it's core is a somewhat narcissistic activity.



I doubt he has that much. He prob has 20 $200 buy ins for 1-2NL. He was down 4k before his 100 hours challenge so it wasn't like he was adding funds to his BR during 2016.

And that 4k roll is probably poker+life-roll. He hasn't made enough to even support his spartan lifestyle month to month since the Linq closed.

He would be a complete fool to start playing 2-5 with no backup plan. Plus buying in for $300 in the Bellagio 2-5 is not "exciting". It would be more exciting for him to go on that hot air balloon ride he discussed, but anyone who watches the vlog knows he won't do it because he never does anything out of his comfort zone. In Aruba he drank Starbucks, ate ****ty food, mooched dinners off the Intertops manager, and complained about the lackluster internet for 5 days. He didn't do a ****ing thing.*

*[I'm not referring to his video-making, I'm referring to his activities and potential he had to maximize that trip].

The uncapped 1-2 at the Nugget he plays is prob the apex of his skill level at the moment, and since he's not getting coaching he should stay where he is for now.
What the hell do you or anybody else know about his bankroll. Everybody predicts he is going to be broke tomorrow yet he never is. Not sure why we cant just enjoy all the Vlogs without nitpicking every move these guys make. Started with Trooper, slowly starting with Neeme now. It gets old reading the same **** over and over.

trooper's bankroll is more than you guys think. he has had $8k bankroll in the past and was still playing exclusively 1/2 at that time. i dont think he would even be thinking about moving up to 2/5 unless he had at least 10k bankroll, but probably closer to 15k.

lets think about it. he probably made $12-15k dealing WSOP this summer. his youtube channel is averaging 1 million views per month now. thats ~ $1k/month. he won $5k during his hours challenge last month. its not unreasonable to think he has a $15k bankroll right now, especially since he doesnt drink, doesnt have any pit leaks and doesnt spend money chasing women. his only expensive habit he has is starbucks, which isnt even expensive because he pays for most of it with gift cards from viewers.

Has anyone posted this? I hadn't had a chance to watch videos yet but appears to be a poker dealer with a blog that's transitioned into a daily vlog.

http://balt999.blogspot.com/?m=1

I'll check it out tomorrow.

I could walk into several rooms here and point out a few guys who are 'grinding' 2-5 w/under $5k actually, most of them don't last though

You can't be an adult. Have you heard of bills? Car insurance, rent, food expenses, phone bill, gas,electricity, water, Internet,car note, and many other. Looking at troopers vlog he doesn't live low budget any more. I would guess he spends about 1800 in bills monthly.

I think you should have gone into the grit instead of glossing it over is all. By giving a realistic breakdown like: $40/hr X 28 hours per week X 11 months per year. Breakdown of taxes: Federal, State, SE. Breakdown of insurance: dental/health/vision. Breakdown of CoL in vegas etc is a much better way of presenting the facts over giving general information and expecting the average viewer to break down the numbers themselves.

There's nothing wrong with breaking down the numbers, being a little cynical, pessimistic, realistic with what pros do and make. If anything it gives you more credit and respect. Poker is fun but the professional life is hell with most people having very little savings and being one bad downswing or breakeven stretch away from being broke and or quitting.
You should stop posting in here. your whole argue was based on that ridiculous point of 70 hourly.

How do you make a statement like that? You just made it up out of thin air, because you hate Andrew platform to speak to thousands.

I thought Andrew was pretty tough on potential low stakes players wanting to turn pro. He wasn't over the top.You're asking him to be like you. You would've made a world is ending now video.

I would say at least 2 or 3 people in here catfish on other sites, and make multiple accounts to post on. Truly weird.

Trooper is either really foolish, or he is leaving out tons of details about his financial life. Trooper will never be 100% honest about his life.every man has some pride. Trooper does a good job of controlling his fans interest by leaving out details. Trooper would show up in 2016 BMW, and be like I just decided to get a new car today. Then leave everyone wondering how.

Trooper has had good fortune. Like a 40k bad beat jackpot. Trooper has had more good breaks and opportunities open for him daily than most.

I cannot believe you are justifying breaking the law, cheating taxes, being uninsured (one of the dumbest things I've heard) because some people like posting on a public forum. JFC.
Please just STFU. FYI maybe 5% of cash players pay taxes on their winnings. Hopefully you'll lose sleep over that number.

This thread was good but about 5 posters who have ABSOLUTELY no Fing clue about poker keep chiming in with their professional knowledge of 1-2 NL and want to make fun of troop for not stealing blinds. If you think you should steal blinds in a 1-2 NL game your an Idiot and if you can't understand why then...........

Trooper said you should take higher risk to make it big. What happened to getting better at what you're currently doing first? Why not learn and work harder? A lot of times a risk is simply just someone doing something that makes no sense, because they have no clue how change things for the better.

Trooper basically said Aruba and running good for 5k allowed for him to survive another couple of months. He has no bankroll for 2/5 but he is trying to talk himself into taking the risk so he can make another 5k in month.

Come on Trooper, no one runs break even, or less for 2 years in row at low stakes and get to call themselves the "best" The best players aren't having 2 years worth of bad variance to keep them out of profit for two years.

I was in the game. I left about an hour ago but he was still there. It was a pretty insane game. He was playing pretty nitty but not bad by any means.

Trooper had about $3200 when I left. I'm not 100% sure but I think he was in for 1k.

He hero called someone (I think one of his friends?) on the turn for about $800 with the 2nd nut flush and a double belly buster straight flush redraw, and was good to take down a huge pot.

It was my first time ever playing with him and he was very friendly and sociable.
