Major accident would be covered by car insurance unless it's a fall outside of your house that's not covered by home owner's insurance. If I get a major illness I'll tell them to bill me, then I'll file for bankruptcy.

Wow. God bless the NHS

Ah, the Trooper school of planning

Neeme's going to Greektown in Detroit tonight! Be there or be square.

The things that concern me about that plan are:

Car insurance is not unlimited free healthcare, it's only up to what coverage you bought.

1. If the car accident is blamed on you (which can easily happen even if it wasn't really your fault) then your car insurance will only pay your medical bills up to what your coverage is (probably $5k or $10k, which can go quickly and be used up before you are healed).

2. If the car accident is blamed on the other person, then their car insurance (if they have it) will only reimburse your medical bills up to what their coverage is (probably $25k or $50k?), then you have to sue the other driver if you need more $. And if they're poor there's no point in suing them because they don't have money to give you. (First your car insurance will pay your medical bills for you up to your coverage limit, then they'll get reimbursed from the other guy's insurance company. But after that you have to pay your own bills until you get reimbursed from the other guy's insurance company, and they don't want to pay until you are healed.)

I think some states have no-fault car accidents so you might never be able to get more than you're covered for if you live in one of those states.

Also, you can't even get seen by most places unless you have health insurance. So I guess you would have to pay what you can, then file bankruptcy and ruin your credit, then get on Medicaid, and then you only get medical care that accepts Medicaid?

Seems like a big stressful gamble. Especially if you live in Vegas where people drive like maniacs. If you don't have much money to lose who cares about the money, but your body has to last you your whole life. Your health is priceless.

I just had to quote this again so more people can see how wrong Tony is and how to almost always in life do the opposite of anything and everything he expresses

Interested in genuine feedback on my vlogs. Started out just doing it for the contest, but turns out it's actually kinda fun, so I plan to continue doing them. Obviously have a lot to learn about film/editing/sound. Let me know what you think.

the Mariz Barkley blogs are good, she's fit bird swell, no wonder booksi always plays at the wynn and just started grinding cash there?

she's a stunner def lol

One minor point you might not have thought about, most of these people do something called "work", what happens is you do something with your time and get paid for it.

You wasted 25 years of your time grinding $! poker games (esp during the boom where you could've killed it if you were any good?) otherwise had you been working, doing something to earn money you might be able to talk about what u lost, and tip, and generally be a normal member of society who play 1/2, most will have jobs you see?

Theres not many bums like u grinding 1/2 for living , ur not a hero Tony , ur a bum, most pros play 2/5 at least.

At least have some self respect and stop whining about people who tip, or give you a bad beat. After 25 years you still moan about them wow?

TBC has autism. Yes, he says and does crazy inappropriate things. Yes, his life can be sad and filled with drama. But sometimes the drama or the things he says are hilarious. If you're open-minded it's interesting to see the world through the eyes of someone who is completely different from you.

We need a hero ITT to start a GoFundMe for Trooper's medical care and an Upswing Poker course.

TBC,

Nothing remotely close to blogging here please.



All,

There will be no Trooper Go Fund Me here.

Guy Laliberte comes to mind.

It must have been surreal and awesome playing and hanging with celebs, nice work. Gotta bet that turn with QJ!

Definitely was pretty awesome. Yea goal was to induce a bluff from Antonio and make 2k, but outplayed myself and backed out of the plan on that river. :/

2 girls 1 vlog

Great story, and it got me to go take a look at your other three vlogs. Of the four, I think #2 is my favorite so far, probably because it is more in the mold of a standard poker vlog. I would have liked #3 more, but the loud background music was very distracting. Props btw for blurring the faces of Drew Brees' children.

Good luck in the contest, and I hope that you continue to make vlogs after the contest is over. (And I hope that you continue to feature Edward as well, to knock you down a peg or two every now and then. )

Mr Bill Poker Vlog 43 is published! Playing a brand new 5/5 game at WinStar! Great action!

False. When you do taxes, you calculate the penalty on a monthly status. So if you haven't had insurance for 9 months, but get it for 3 months, then you pay 3/4 of the annual penalty.

If this rule wasn't in place, people would get the MINIMUM insurance for 1 month, cancel, and then avoid the penalty.

Maybe it's his pride (not sure what it is based on though) or maybe he's just paranoid but the ONLY thing that Trooper will accept is cash (or gift cards.) He seems to throw away or not use most of the gift people send him except for the coffee mugs (which he specifically requested), cash, and gift cards.

People offered him free coaching and he turned it down. I'm positive, that he would think you're trying to take him to a quack doctor to drug him or something if you offer to pay for some medical bills or something.

I wouldn't be surprised if he rejected a fire extinguisher from a stranger if he was literally on fire. He would probably justify rejecting it by saying that he rather burn than be tricked with a gag fire extinguisher filled with fake snakes. (As absurd as this sounds, it is unfortunately true with Trooper.)

Lol, I've been checking out the thread here and there over the past few months but haven't posted because I haven't been watching any Trooper vlogs.

I still haven't seen his vlog in a few weeks or maybe even 2 months (except for some fast forwarding here and there) and it seems like the discussion has turned towards the other vloggers.

I've seen all/most of Neeme's stuff. It's a lot easier to follow with his frequency of vlog releases (or lack thereof) and not as repetitive/boring.

Does anyone still keep track of Trooper's W/L record for the year? I'm curious if he's in the black by $50 this year or down a few hundred/thousand.

Wow, that's actually pretty insulting. I know you didn't mean to come off that way but it's you saying that Trooper can't be held up to normal standards and his life/success has to be measured with a major handicap.

You must be one of his haters/trolls.

He said he doesn’t need a coach because a coach won’t prevent that diamond from coming on the river which gave him a bad beat. In other words, it’s the bad beats that hold him back. And he recently said 900 hours is nothing so live results don’t mean much to him (I do think 900 hours is overrated so I don’t think he is totally wrong). With that said he never admitted that a coach might teach him something he doesn’t know.

But he probably is right that a coach wouldn’t help him so it would be a waste of time and money. He has to like the coach and believe in the things he is being taught. If he thinks the coach is full of **** then what’s the point of being coached? You have to want to be coached.

And his own doctor,
lawyer,
accountant (well this might not be true if he doesn't actually file any taxes),
web designer,
life coach (lol),
YouTube comment deleter,
video editor (he's actually good at this),
interior designer (lol),
camera man (he is horrible at this and still won't buy a stabilizer),
dentist (have you seen his teeth?),
poker coach,
best friend,
maid (lol),
dietitian,
psychiatrist

what else? Please add more.

Go Gimbal?
