Yokosawa says that he was involved with some company that did retweeting (or something with tweets) and when he had a lawyer check into it, it looked shady so he pulled the plug on the service.

I'm not sure what service he's talking about as I can't recall him advertising any companies on his videos. I'm not even sure what the service was about.
The dubious product/service he promoted was probably done on Twitter only that's why you can't find it in the videos.

He talked about the infamous Red Rock session in the latest Vlog. He said his result was $-607. Did you guys see all of those Christmas gifts they received? That was very nice of the person that sent them. Overall, I enjoy watching his Vlogs. I am glad that he is happy, and has found himself a good woman.

To save everybody time:

The time stamp for this is 6:55 (6 minutes, 55 seconds).

He didn't lose as much as I thought (he says).

Totally missed that, thanks. I was half paying attention to the vlog so I must have missed that part.

New 2020 Total: -8,415

Still in the process of doing his all time number, although the numbers other people have said are very close to what i have for the years they have said, maybe like a hundred off or something idk, could be them, could be me, theres no telling really, i have really tried to get what hes made from poker down, and after the first couple years it becomes much easier because you dont have to watch the vlogs because he just says at about the same time every vlog and they are almost daily. If anyone cares ill get around to it, just have been busy and not wanted to do it basically. I just have 2019 to still do

See i am 2 for 2, don't worry Mr. Noon I ain't gonna say I told you so! I knew it wouldn't been 1,000 but dam 607 almost as bad and he won at TT because he won a lucky big ass Bomb pot so there was no skill involved in that one at all. Forgot to say he already started a new losing streak for 2021 who wants to bet that he will lose -10k this year?

So much for it being "proven" that Trooper has never been fully transparent and that it is "fact" that he has hidden big losses in the past.

Does this support the fact that he has always been a losing player, even over relatively short periods of time (few months, half a year, etc.) when it seemed like he was profitable? I mean even when his videos showed him making some money over a time frame all it takes is skipping on one or two losing sessions and your per hour rate becomes positive

I would say it also doesn't prove that he doesn't hide other big losses. From his comments in videos it seems pretty apparent that he does read these forums or at least people from these forums post in his comments and reads them, so it is very logical to assume that he had seen comments about the session and decided to give a quick breakdown of it.

He tried to claim that he was going to do a vlog about it the other day after he had already vlogged about the Trooper Thursday session. As far as I am aware he has never put vlogs out in non chronological order, so its a little suspect to claim that he was going to with that one, but randomly decided not to and gave us results 3 weeks later. He also claimed he didn't have enough footage, when 90% of his footage is just him making coffee at home, driving places, or on a trek for Starbucks. This is not something that would just don on him 3 weeks later either.

After saying all of this he can hide losses if he wants, no one really knows if $607 is an actual number anyways.

This right here. Glad to see some posters here with an above average intelligence.

Thoughts on Brad and Andrew opening a brewery? Brad alludes to it during and at the end of his latest vlog, even tossing out the Brandrew Brewery name. I get that they both have a steady fan base and Brad's channel is growing and growing, but a B&M brewery? Seems like an ego trip waiting to go wrong. Maybe they can get it off the ground cheaper in a COVID environment so they figure why not go for it?

Terrible idea. Do they have any experience running a business? And doing it in the middle of a raging pandemic? Where would the bar be? Las Vegas? Do they have investors lined up with capital? Vegas is one of the most competitive markets in the world for service and hospitality businesses. Or are they going to try to find some rich (and stupid) fans of their vlogs to help fund it?

Apparently they have a friend who is a bar owner who will help them. That's a positive sign.

LOL and I also love the feeling when you rack up and accidentally stacked your chips too high so you have more than you thought you had.

I would guess they will try to buy a struggling brewery for pennies on the dollar and fund it until COVID goes away. Remember, Brad is a CPA. He will make sure that the numbers look good before investing any money.

Overall, I think it may be a good business idea. If they go for it, you can bet they’ll advertise it heavily to their vlog watchers. They will create their own brand and sell cases etc in meet up games and online. If trooper can sell his coffee, Brad and Andrew surely can sell **** tons of their beer. That alone could make it very profitable.

Obviously, there are many reasons for failure. Couple important ones are their lack of experience of managing a brewery and competition.

If I was in their shoes, I would not open a B&M spot immediately. I would buy used brewery machines, rent a small spot to brew and build an online brand for the vlog watchers and go from there.

Regardless, I wish them the best of luck if they decide to go for it.

If Brad and Andrew have no experience brewing beer, they are way over their head.

I'm thinking they should stick to drinking the stuff.

I must ask. Who is that stunning woman in your avatar? She looks so happy in that picture. Her man must really take care of her for her to be that happy.

To me it depends on what they mean by starting a brewery. If they just want to finance a portion of it, have equity, and slap their names on it that is one thing, but if they truly want to start it from the bottom up then I would caution them.

I am from the Midwest and it is fairly common for people around here to try to make their own alcohol. Trust me, liking to drink does not make you a good creator of a beverage. They would need to make a craft beer that others would want to drink. It is one thing to get people in the door the first time, but you need them to keep coming back. I also have a friend that quit his career to open up his own brewery. He is working 7 days a week most weeks and working 12+ hours days on the reg while he is trying to get it going. Not sure two guys that play poker because they don't want to work for the man and want that freedom are going to want to work 60-80 hours a week for the foreseeable future just trying to get it off the ground.

If they want to just buy an old bar and be invested financially and show up a few days a week and try to craft their own beer then that is different, but that seems like a tough sell in Vegas.

Brad and Andrew have talked about investigating whether a poker club, like those that exist in Texas, would be possible in Las Vegas. I wouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't try to combine these two ideas. A brewery/bar combined with a poker club.

Most of what you wrote here makes sense and I agree with.
I highlighted what I personally thought was an advantage for them and what disadvantages they would likely face. I only meant to say it may be a profitable business for them.

Just like you said, drinking beer and making a beer AND managing a business are different things. The world is filled with failed ex restaurant owners that got into the business because they love eating food or cooking for family and friends.

I don’t know anything about the business. Are you saying, even if they have all their licenses and make deals with the casinos they can’t sell their beer?

Your last two sentences make a lot of business sense.
