I'll be honest and say that I enjoyed the reflection that he did in this vlog. I think it finally hit him that his vlog, and his life, have gotten old and boring. He needs a break, which he is finally taking, and a major reboot.
I hope he takes whatever time off that he needs and finds a way to change things up in a big way. The worst thing that he can do is take a week or two off and then go right back to his usual life, which I feel is what is coming this way based on his history.
I think I'll check in after a week or so and see if he makes some life changes. Even growing a beard would be a small change. He looks better when he's not clean shaven. Less like a spooked, chubby kid and more like an older adult.
I watched today's vlog to see what has changed with Trooper's vlog since his break from the vlog and his reflecting on life and the vlog. Answer: Nothing. Nothing at all.
Not sure if every vlog has been like today's but he's back to his same routine. Coffee, sell a hat, and play daytime low stakes poker. He had one cooler hand of set over set and the whole session is explained as the deck is out to get him. Of course there is no mention of any mistakes that probably happened prior to the set over set hand. Clearly he played perfect poker, even though he limped with a pair, flopped a set, and almost no money went in till the river. (Yes there were minimal bets but nothing major.)
No mention of final loss total so I assume it's bad.
Also, he found some conspiracy theory of a broken battery explaining his crash on the Boosted Board. Trooper is a skilled Boosted Board rider with hundreds of miles under his belt so he couldn't have been distracted with a camera in one hand and a coffee in another and simply fallen off the board. It must have been someone else's fault that he crashed.
Anyway, more blaming others for his faults (crashing and losing money at poker) and no changes at all from his pre-reflection video. This guy is 50+ years old and he still can't admit his life problems which is step one...even after taking a break and reflecting on things.
Someone please PM me when something new happens in his vlog...if it ever happens.
