I agree they should go over hands but Trooper could never make as much money as Jaman because even if Trooper played the exact same cards in the exact same way against the exact same opponents as Jaman, he would not get paid off nearly as much.
Jaman gets paid off way way more because a lot of people, especially in the Midwest, stereotype him as a black man who bluffs too much. That is the unfortunate reality of racial profiling and racial stereotypes in poker.
If Jaman played the same way but was a seventy-year-old white guy I bet he would make less than half of what he does. Yeah, you can bluff more if you're an OMC, but bluffing is way trickier than just making good hands and getting paid off for them.
