The 10 cups a day, complain about everything, bad at your profession, middle-aged with no future culture?
Where are they mostly from?

So to watch trooper means you must be like trooper? geniuses ITT

I watch Marle's vlogs too so that must mean I like to dress up as a woman and have a cat right?

Pics or it didn't happen.

'Merica.

But seriously, there is a lot of the country that is living paycheck to paycheck, eating a horrible fast-food laden diet, and blaming the government or "illegals" or PC culture or anything but themselves for why they're not living the life they think they deserve. Those are the people who could see a bit of themselves in Trooper and would watch him over any other Vegas vloggers.

The bold is undeniable fact, the rest I'm not so sure about. I think you are generalizing way too many people into your statement.

I like the Trooper, mostly, he does some things I really wish he wouldn't, but I can probably say that about most people.

I have a good paying job that is just soul crushing. Due to my limited education I really can't do anything beyond what I do and I have a family to be responsible for so maybe "stuck" isn't the right word, but I don't enjoy dragging myself to the building every day and often wonder if the money is actually worth it. Could we get by on less and be happier doing something different? I guess I don't have what it takes to make that decision.

IMO, Trooper did just that, albeit on a different level. He didn't leave a six figure job, but he did go against the grain and chuck what he was doing to be happier in Vegas. Despite several hundred predictions to the opposite, he's still there and seems to be enjoying himself daily.

Simply because his definition of happy doesn't line up with what people on here define as happy doesn't make him wrong.

I'd be willing to bet several on here would trade places with me, for some it would be an upgrade, for others it would be hell on Earth. Everyone is different.

The people that watch and love trooper for the most part are mainly from the same demographic. Same with the people who go to Trooper Thursdays. Watch the videos where he shows people buying a hat on camera. What do you see almost every time?

Usually the people are middle aged and up, white or hispanic, overweight, lower to middle class, dress like they are in the 1990s, and probably the type of people that stay at Circus Circus and Excalibur rather than the Wynn.

He found a niche that caters to those people, and some of them really love it.

Lots of games going everywhere this morning. I guess leftover Super Bowl people.

One of the first things you've written about Trooper that I completely agree with.

No doubt Trooper is doing what he set out to do. Poker, eating pizza/burgers, vlogging. He even has some relatively passive income with his clothing business (+coffee) and meet up game. Dating a nameless girl who has a good ... head on her shoulders, definitely +EV for Trooper.

Listening to Trooper talk for 5 or 10 minutes about Sports betting edge is very painful.

I think he often looks miserable.

Did you ever see that live stream I told you about? He took it down a day after putting it up and he didn’t come across as being happy at all. And unlike much of his other stuff it’s unedited so he didn’t just take out the stuff that makes him look bad.

Won't quote it again, but really good post, Pensfan.


I think half of it is that he likes moaning. I don't ever think he looks particularly unhappy, per se. However, he does like to rip on a lot of stuff, and quite needlessly most of the time

OMG I wanted to put a ice pick in my ears to just make it stop.

I did not see the live stream, but that doesn't mean I don't see times where he looks miserable and would rather be doing something else.

I guess I think we all feel that way no matter what our walk of life. I know I do. Some days things just suck and there isn't much/anything you can do about it. Anyone who tells you everyday of their life is sunshine and puppies is lying to you.

We all have good days and we all have bad days, the overwhelming majority are somewhere in the middle.

Actually trooper moved to Vegas to be a pro poker player which he failed miserably at.
The several hundred predictions you mention were actually quite accurate
They said he sucks at poker and either needed to get a job or monetize his vlog.He told us we were haters,then did exactly what the "haters" said he would.

If he's happy making money off of his vlog and making scraps at poker then good for him.

Did you make it to his penny story?

I missed the penny story, I started skipping around rapidly. I am sure I didn't miss much tho.

I’ll PM it to you. Doubt it wiii change your opinion of him but you might find it interesting anyway.

When I think of vloggers that are happy I think of PokerKraut. He always seems to be in a happy, positive mood. Neeme, Brad Owen and JohnnieVibes seem pretty positive/content much of the time. Probably Jaman too but I haven’t watched much of him.

Also, when Trooper tilts so badly that he loses $1500 in a 1-2 NL game and complains that poker is unfair that’s one reason he looks unhappy to me because I have a hard time relating to that.

Trooper won $380.01 in this vlog. $380 at Bellagio, and $0.01 on the floor of Starbucks

So he picks up Pennies from the floor? lol

I see him as the kind of guy who puts on a good show for the camera but probably whines a ton about bad beats off-camera.

You'd think he would have figured out how wrong he was about the sportsbetting example/explanation he had in that vlog before posting. He clearly has some basic understanding but he spent a ton of time talking about it and kept using the wrong numbers then arrived at the wrong number in his "edge" calculation.

I was having a convo yesterday about why low stakes poker people suck to be around so often. Know it all mentality is the top on the list.

If it's "on heads", he will, and in front of people.

They had to make up for that promo money they didn’t get because there were only 3 freaking scores

4 actually, but only really felt like 1.

I think just about every vlogger probably looks happier in their vlog than they really are. If I had to guess which vlogger does the best job of showing his true level of happiness in his videos my vote would be for Boski. It’s one reason why his wins are great to watch though.
