It's obvious Lady Trooper is a bit of a fangirl/groupie. How she loves to be in the vlog, started selling her own merch, started her own vlog, calls herself Lady Trooper, loves going to his Trooper Thursday games and meeting all the regulars (who are Trooper fans obviously).

Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but that's obviously a large part of why she's attracted to Trooper.

Anyway they seem happy together so good for them.

Trooper is no Rocket Scientist, he's above average with a camera, not much else.

Doubtful Trooper has ever attempted or pretended to improve his poker game by study or advice?

+1: Yes, Trooper lucked out with her, not many people would put up with his idiosyncrasies.

For some reason I’m just stuck on him consistently opening to 5x in a no ante 4 handed game. I’m a big fan of his vlog but w poker he truly dosent have a clue.

I haven't watched a Trooper video in at least a year, but doesn't he mostly play 1/2 NL? Have you ever played live 1/2 NL?

Yeah anywhere between $10 and $15 is a standard open at 1/2 or 1/3.

Particularly at an uncapped game like the Golden Nugget where he’s playing with guys with stacks of a $1000+.

I have been critical of trooper (obviously) but I would say he is of above average intelligence in general. He isn't a dummy. Just the way he says things, things he knows, words he uses, tells me he does have some smarts.

I have given many other examples of why I think the way I do about what youtubers are paid.

Yeah at this point he really should be a lot better than he is. Must be quite a blow to his big ego to lose so much over and over and over to people he considers rec players and beneath him skill wise.

Yes I would agree about being about average, and I consider her average as well. My point was many woman that age want someone who has more job/career security or they won't date someone long term. But it looks like she enjoys being in his little spotlight of notoriety that he has.

Agree and agree.

You are part correct.

There is no standard amount per 1000 views... Generally 2$ is a good average, $4 very high...

Maybe educate yourself before you come on here giving it the big'un

yea but he sells supplements

LOL all that you want. My pre and post workout supps have had 3 grams of vit C (not 300 mgs but 3 GRAMS), a gram of zinc, 2 grams of lysine, 2 grams of proline, and ginger in them per dose (among many other things) since I started my company 3 years ago.

I have known about the high Vit C, lysine/proline, zinc, ginger connection for years for your health.

For example I have taken 20 grams of vit C and 8 grams of lysine every day for 10 years.

Guess how many times I have gotten sick during that time? Zero.

Guess how old I am in this pic? 52.





Guess what is a big thing that people now use against Covid?

Mega Vit C, zinc, lysine, and ginger.

LOL. Just lol.

I am laughing all the way to the bank. And health.

shoot trooper lost 147,647.06 supplement views today

Nobody even knows what this means.

Kinda lame.

Be better with your material.

Trooper's latest Vlog has incredibly painful music interspersed throughout it.

Long story short, he lost, again.

Seven losses in a row since rebooting his Poker 'career'.

Minus -$251 for the session at the 7:42 mark

Warning: The Vlog is painful because of the background music.

Trooper is in the mask selling biz now, so he must be making a killing.

I’m aware everyone does it but they dosent make it correct. You continue to unnecessarily bloat the pot like that and before you know it you’re AIPF for 100 bb’s w 88...

Only bad players 4 bet shove with 88's in 1/2 for 100bb

Large raises pre is fine in 1/2 as long as you don't go nuts with 88's lol

What? Maybe you are, but I’m not.

You should only be all-in preflop for 100 BBs with 88 in 1/2 if you are in late position and someone has straddled for like $100.

Really, the blinds aren’t that relevant in 1/2 NL, so even thinking about this as a “5x” raise seems like a poor perspective.

You’re not trying to win the blinds, you’re trying to win the money that people voluntarily put into the pot just because they feel like playing. Your raise size determines how much these people have to put it.

Another way to think about it is like this: Players live especially at 1-2 play crazy loose and the rake is extremely high, 5$ and 1 or 2$ for a bad beat jackpot or something depending on where you are, significantly higher than 1-2 online. Both of these things strongly incentivize you to raise bigger. If youre playing like .25-.50 online for instance, there are benefits of minraising or 2.5x because people dont defend wide enough generally especially at lower stakes and you make money from them underdefending and thats why its a common strategy, but live that isnt a concern, they are over defending so you want to punish them by raising bigger.

Obv as a general thing never get it all in pre with 88 4bet shoving or whatever he did, unless you have some strong reads, and buying in for more than 100bbs is what most winning players should be doing especially given they are playing in raked games because you are incentivized into playing bigger pots because rake doesnt matter in pots over a certain threshold, 50$ or whatever the cap is.

TLDR: Play tight and bet big in high rake environments, banned for strat discussion

Good synopsis, well put

This posting style makes a lot more sense now that I know you are 52.


Also, Mommy make the bad man stop.

Strong reads or not, do NOT get it in with 88 pre for 100+ BBs. Use your edge! You are a better player than these other clowns...don't roll the dice.

Strat discussion ended...sry. But had to.

I do not believe Trooper has an 'edge' on the vast majority of poker players in Las Vegas.

Trooper begins to talk about the 88 hand at the 6:53 mark.
https://youtu.be/b9jfBeU-Z8A?t=415

The hand really typifies Trooper's approach to poker.

Myself: I try not to go broke on the 1st hand dealt to me, especially knowing I'm playing with short money.

You gotta fold that hand (88), no ifs, ands, or buts about it ... FOLD !!
The (QQ) hand ... meh.

This goes out to no one in particular but the amount of Hate so many of you have for trooper is insane.

Clearly it's no self esteem on your end / jealousy. Probably because trooper seems happy, his girl seems happy, and he's able to support himself and live a live with FREEDOM.

Would lay strong odds on anyone who's posting negative shyt, doesn't have all 3 of those things.

I don't follow this thread, and I will not be returning anytime soon to look for any comments / responses.

I think in life, it's generally a positive thing to uplift than it is to criticise.
