It's not just you.

The constant virtue signaling and fake persona grates me as well.

You think the 2p2 hockey thread will appreciate my comments about the NHL picks of a Vegas vlogger more than the other dozen people commenting on the same topic ITT?

In that rant did he ever repeat the excuse he gave for missing the vloggers game? Back then he said he was going to be out of town and far away from Vegas. It was so unfortunate that he just couldn’t make it. Of course he couldn’t tell us where he would be on that day, just like when he showed up late for the weight loss challenge and still can’t tell us why years later.

The best part was how he posted how he was betting with sharp money and how the lined move in his favor and he was getting the best of it. Up until start time his line and better where available in Vegas. Why he isn’t shopping lines and betting the best ones while in Vegas is odd.

Trooper made it clear that he was pressured into the weight loss thing. I can totally sympathize with him there.
Kraut should have let it go after Trooper showed he wasn't interested. But instead it seems Pokerkraut persisted. I think maybe it's because kraut didn't yet know Trooper like he thought.

But then Trooper goes and say's that he then thought that the weight loss thing might be a good publicity stunt for the channel and how he was contemplating losing as the best way to go viral. He made it specifically clear that that was a big wish of his. That the whole thing would go viral. Then why didn't he go ahead and admit he lost and keep his end of the bargain?
The whole thing doesn't make sense. Trooper didn't do nothing but show what an idiot he is with that rant.

Bike King has officially gone from quirky homeless poker vlogger to depressing homeless degenerate bum..

It's kinda sad that people learn the lingo, but they really don't know what any of it means.

-How are they hearing about this "sharp money" betting their side?
Lines on some bets seem to move on a bet by bet basis. I've seen lines on Pinnacle go from -109 to -105 and back to -108 in the span of 60 seconds. and that's a book accepting large bets. I doubt there would be a real way to determine which of that is sharp and which is square.

-if 75% of people are betting one side or the other, it means nothing since 98% of sportsbettors are longterm losers

-if the sharp money is betting the sharp side, our line is actually going to be made worse as books adjust

I listened to the rant once, so I may be wrong, but he claims that PK asked him one time if he would be interested in a vloggers game or PK said they should have one or something, but that he was never invited to the actual one at Stones I believe. He says RayzRayl offered to help him get a seat at some point, but I believe he declined.

What happened to Rayz? I used to enjoy his videos. I tried to buy some multifamily buildings at one point from watching his videos, lol.

This question is particularly funny right now if it’s not a level.

Same too bad he deleted them all. He’s currently in Vegas with his family. He had a 1 hour session of $5/$10 at the B. Had Aces and won $1500+.

He also made national news recently for driving out to California to protest Robinhood. Looks like he was caught with the Game Stop stock fiasco.

NHL is so hard to bet on, so much parity

Bet dogs then?

It's not a level! Let me in on the joke...

There’s not really that much parity there just seems like there is because unlike the other major sports effort can overcome talent disparity on any given night. I like parlaying 2 favorites on the Puck Line because you get a sweet price w/o having to ride an underdog. But I’m pretty sure it’s not +ev

It's clear that he wasn't pressured into anything. Remember one thing, Tim only does things with one purpose in mind. To get as many views and subscribers. I don't think he was being truthful that he wanted to help Pokerkraut. He needed him and when he saw that there would be an issue with who did the punishment video he balked and didn't show or showed late he know Kevin would leave. Tim reminds me of people I know who think taking a Dog or a Cat or something else and being the next big thing on youtube and when it doesn't needs a rant for clickbait to try to get something. He doesn't have steady income so this is what he reduced to.

The Vloggers' game is a bit more murky but it sure seems at first Tim didn't like it because at the stakes it was billed at were too high for him and with Neeme, Owen, Boski and the other Sharks Tim was destined to get killed or just play top 5 hands and nit it up (as he likes to say). Then when he could have went he needed an out other than his inferior play to tell everyone which is why we got that other rant. Was Pokerkraut a little wrong with the shirt? Sure, we all know Tim is so inept socially that his fragile ego couldn't handle it.

It all comes back to one thing. His game is not good and can't hang with the top vloggers who are true grinders and have steady income from the tables. His videos have jumped the shark and his subscribers have plateaued. So he is maxed out on his check from youtube. If he had visions of making 10 thousand a month like Scotty Kilmer well time to re-think because Tim brings nothing to the table with his vids. He isn't cool, doesn't play good poker, doesn't have a cool pet dog or cat and actually is bitter and boring. Not a good combo going forward.

In his PGC he was doing a bunch o day trading. With the market doing a general moon shot he like every 1 else did well. He figgered he was achshually the chosen one when he spun it up to ball park 80k ish. He then proceeded to get absolutely nuked with gme, bb, etc and pretty much pissed it all away. He then road tripped it to Ca to picket Robinhood.

lol, thanks for the update.

haha, yeah, I'm catching up on his thread now starting in Dec. of last year. I bailed on him about the time he sold The Melody, so probably several years ago.

The parts about his channel or somewhat true. He thinks he is trying to get more viewers, but does a very bad job of it. He has been around forever and gets less than 10k views. If he wanted to get more he could fairly easily if he changed his model up. I frequently get recommendations on YouTube and come across players with < 20 vlogs up that are getting those numbers or more due to thumbnails and just talking about hands. None of them really know what they are doing in regards to playing poker, but they put crazy tags or thumbnails up and get clicks.

How can that be even remotely true when he gets 8-11K views on each video, has 42K subscribers (which means about 75% subscribe, but DON'T watch!), and churns out the same vlog day after day. 90% of his videos summed up in 6 lines:

Coffee at home
Walk strip looking for food
Eat food
Figure out where to play
Show hole cards once
Walk back to car and say how much he lost in a good game

No purpose, no direction, and no future. Tim won't like reading it (he's closet obsessed with 2p2), but it walks and talks like a duck, so...

I stopped around this time too I think. I remember thinking selling The Melody was such a stupid financial decision, and it sounds like his decisions have only gotten worse. Gonna catch up on that thread now too.

I stuck around a bit longer. He initially made a bunch of money on a penny type stock I think transformers or something for solar panels. He then sold. I think paid of his mortgage but then bored money from his wife to put in some Chinese competitor to Tesla. He than lost most of that money, it got ugly and I bailed.

Cliff notes since than anyone?

Because PokerKraut left the weigh in site and stopped answering Trooper's texts/calls maybe?

What a legend!



Literally 5 seconds of fame.
