A banking site is not using plain HTML. More likely there's PHP and Javascript involved and other proprietary APIs to prevent scraping.

You forgot make idiotic videos with clickbait titles and hope someone watches.

I have to say I am enjoying Pman's vids. They are so much more real and not the Trooper talking out of his ass stuff. I wish him luck.

Trooper, rampage, and Matt vaughan are all just laughable lately. Rampage spending so much time reaching the conclusion of a standard fold is lol.

Im so happy for jaman to vlog again. His production style is just ridiculous. Also enjoying Mariano vids.

Yea I would rather not hear Rampage talk... he throws around just random poker terminology all designed to get at the action he already decided he wants to take anyway (usually an "experiment" with a raise).

Matt V claiming he is the victim because the first time he was busted they didn't confiscate his money is a new one.

Yeah, that seems pretty f'd up. StL is pretty diverse from what I heard had has a large black population so that is surprising, but there are sh*tty people everywhere. I wonder if things are better in Vegas.

I don't think working hard as a vlogger/coffee & merch tout have unlimited earnings. If the market wasn't there during covid getting a job would likely have been a real possibility.

For all of Trooper's flaws I don't think we can call him lazy. He puts out a vlog most days and keeps on top of coffee/merch as well as getting hours in at the table.

It's pretty segregated though, there's one infamous area where the city built these structures that effectively worked as a wall to prevent easy access between the projects and the neighborhood next door

Pretty decent entertainment in Troopers vlog when he went on a minirant in front of the camera about his situation in Vegas, people asking questions about his bankroll/liferoll and so forth.

Its something funny about Trooper when he goes on tilt/blowups in various kinds. I cant really describe why exactly.

100% this. STL is extremely segregated. The Mike Brown situation a few years back didn't help on the "unity" front and the McCloskeys pulling guns on protestor wasn't a boon either.

You'll be fine in STL as long as you stay in your lil area. Blacks over here, Indians over here, Polish over there, etc.

I was literally told I didn't win the bid on a house in a suburb west of STL because the sellers Googled me and wanted to keep the neighborhood "pure".

The sellers real estate agent was soon after fired. Lawyers were contacted and all sorts of calamity ensued. Me not willing to pay $300/hr for a lawyer for a case that I probably wouldn't win(lack of non hearsay evidence) for a house in a neighborhood I no longer wanted to live in is the only thing that kept the case from proceeding.

Not wanting my daughter to grow up in such a climate(if at all avoidable) was the main impetus for the move honestly.

He is one of the most laziest people I have ever seen. Shipping coffee to people and sitting at a 1/2 table isn't exactly the actions of a go getter.

He has been in vegas how long? His poker game has not improved one iota mostly because he doesn't do any work on getting better. Always explaining his predicament of playing low stakes and not high stakes to bad luck or some other BS. His channel jumped the shark God knows how long ago and he will never get more viewers than he has now so he is maxed out on yt income.

They couldn't afford the house they were in and he doesn't seem to want to post any info of the new apartment suffice to say it seems he is living in the low rent district downtown.

Stuck in a rut of grinding low stakes with no job and eating burgers and pizza while calling people haters and saying there is some imaginary guy stalking him who he is going to expose lost it luster a while ago. Get a job Tim.

Is it just me or does his video run an ad every 30 seconds?

You guys must really want to see what he has to say to go through these ads.

No. I just run ********* and skip through the video quickly while taking a dump.

Trooper is far less lazy than most poker pros. Don't think that's debatable.

I pay $12/month for zero ads. Mandatory as I use YouTube nightly for ambient noise as I sleep. Also being able to use it for music while turning the screen off is nice, too.

Trooper says he was in a panic about his financial situation, says he's turned things around, "for the moment anyway", then says he did an audit of himself today and he's doing better than he thought. Low expectations is a hell of a drug.

Define poker pro. Anyone making 50k+ a year is working a hell of a lot harder than trooper. I'm not as negative on trooper as lot of people here seem to be, but he's no poker pro.

I felt bummed and sorry for Jamon about the parking lot incident. But ignorance is a part of the reason for racism, and Jamon doesn't lack some ignorance himself. He once said in his vlog that he felt awkward wearing a cowboy hat, or something like that, because there were no black cowboys.
Am I saying he deserved getting discriminated? No, but as much as I like his vlogs, I always thought he's a Ben Carson.

Ps. Now that's cancel culture.

Looks like a 3bet, followed with an apology.

Feel like we're being baited again to play another side pot with -$ behind.

I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to all things Trooper these days, but I did find the status update interesting.

On the one hand, I absolutely 100% do not blame Trooper for not disclosing financial info, particularly now that his viewer range is polarized to love and hate. The most rabid haters would have a field day with it. And Tim (fairly) mentioned that what might not sound like a lot of money to others, might be perfectly fine for him if it means he can continue to live the lifestyle he's carved out for himself (I do respect this).

On the other hand, I remember the video years ago when he drove out into the desert and his camera died, and he was nearly broke and it was absolutely GRIPPING if you were following along at that time. You felt like you were watching the realest version of reality TV, and I remember at the time respecting his honesty and willingness to put it all out there like that. I believe it was that rawness and transparency that helped him blow up in the beginning, because that is incredibly compelling.

I think the difference is, he's gone from "taking a shot" mode to "protection" mode, like when you go up a bunch of buyins early in a session and lose the nerve to barrel streets like you did earlier. I believe this is the reason for his channel's stagnation and he could be rightfully criticized for it; not as a human being, but as a content creator.

Trooper is not a poker pro. However, he is 100% less lazy than most of them. Of course there are outliers that bust their ass day in day out and treat poker like a job but most of the poker pros that aren't convicted sex offenders are lazy as hell which is why they chose to play poker in the first place rather than get a normal 9 to 5 job.

The idea that anyone making $50k in poker is working harder than the Trooper is preposterous. I can make that at low stakes without even really trying (and putting in part time hours).

The guy walks around with a camera in his face ranting about mundane dumb ****. Then posts a 10 minute video about it.

That is not "hard working."

Hard work would be developing his channel in any way shape or form rather than his base observations walking to starbucks.
