Trooper is the main character from my point of view so I am rooting for him in this case. His girlfriend is GREAT for him and it seems to be the best thing in his life right now so I'm rooting for it to work out for HIS sake.

From her point of view, it does seem like deep, down inside (past all of the bitter anger at life and everyone else who seems successful around him) Trooper is actually a good person. If you look past his jealousy, paranoia, and defensiveness, Trooper is actually a good person. For that reason, I think he treats his girlfriend well and that's probably why she's with him.

It does seem like she is settling for him but I'm not rooting from her point of view but from his, so I hope it works out for Tim.

That looks very staged. I get that he's trying to tell a story with the picture, but I don't think that it's anything close to who he really is or what is actually happening. If he was genuine and honest, he would get a lot further in life and in his social media popularity than trying to build a persona of what he things people like.

He has a great life as long as he never needs a doctor or money for retirement.

That's most people in the US, tbh. They struggle going a few months without pay because few people save.

It's definitely staged. Many years ago I staged a similar photo myself:

I don't know if Trooper has ever discussed health insurance situation. If he has reported income of something like $35k a year, he can get "Obama Care" for like a couple/few hundred a month. He should be able to swing that.

Not sure what Trooper's current bankroll is, but I would assume it is higher than $2,500. Is it $25K? maybe? probably not?

What is his yearly income? $25K? $30K? Even if his yearly income were $50k or $60k, that probably is not going to give him financial security in old age.

Heck, what is the point of making to retirement if you never have fun, never had a significant relationship, but have $250k or $500k in savings?

I think I would rather have had good experiences and good relationship while young or middle aged.

I know a dude who has MORE than $1mm cash in the bank...maybe even a net worth of $2mm when you count his house/cars/small investments...but the guy is a MISER. He never got married, he has not dated for decades. He eats oatmeal like twice a day to save money. He does not have a TV, as he does not think he can afford a nice one AND get cable TV. I could go and on...he is a miser, and is absolutely miserable. He is constantly scared of running out of money. What good is having a long life, tons of money, but never doing anything? no marriage, no family, few friends...and so on.

Trooper also has possibility of "busting a move", making more money, saving/investing $10k or $15k a year. Keep expenses low. Stay with lady Trooper, have a good and decent life.

I hope he does!

agreed. Its so distasteful too

Yea I remember that. It was a LOT of fun doin all the blow in the lower left hand corner!

Tthat looks more like a bowl of white rice from Panda Express.

The thing is with the bike king theres alot of this fake stuff, but honesty shines through in some moments like when hes upset at losing a flip on his stream for 10$ or when playing the online tourny on his vlog, or when he was broken after not cashing the wsop main satty in his vlog and he looked really rough and could barely speak words. In between those things theres alot of claiming to be good friends with christian soto, or saying he got a 20k inheritance/tournament score or saying he had some bank account hacked. You have to cut through the bullshit he says to protect his ego or whatever he has mentally going on, but the honesty is there underneath that, and thats what i enjoy out of him

Don't knock it till you try it!

That explains a lot.

Coke?

After playing thousands of hours of cash games over 1 1/2 years, never did I see anyone have that type of reaction after winning a pot.

It was complete bush league and trying to defend his actions is lol funny as hell.

Years ago at a 1/2nl game, HU on the flop we get it all in, around $300 in the pot and I never show until the end anyway, but this kid as soon as I called on the flop jumps up and slams his cards down and says NUTS! and he had top set nuts and I had the nut flush draw and don't show.

Cards run out and I hit the river and act disgusted for a bit and then I jumped up and slammed my cards down and yelled NUTS!

Good times.

Mariano, we live you dog. Keep postin

Trooper packing/shipping his Coffee orders himself now. Nothing stops the gamble but I don't even think he played in this video. lol

LOL I know, sad thing watching him whine Covid has him in a bad way is if had a job when covid hit he would have been collecting UI with the fed bonus and made a nice bit of change for the last year. Well at least he gets to go to bed and get up when he wants.

This Vegas Vlogger/Gambler inspires me.

Y’all mind if we follow him up in here?

Well he did have a job(Youtube and merch revenue, and Trooper Thursday rakeback) and as long as he paid taxes on that he would have collecting all the UI money with bonus money.

Are they actually checking all that? I thought all the gig workers qualified.

Gig workers do, you have to send in your tax form from 2019 to prove your income, or else you only get the minimum, but still the extra 300-600 when they added it.

IMO he only has his job as a dealer (when he dealt) on his tax forms.

Wait, what? Is he back? I was on Vacation for a week and i didn't see if he was back?
