I have a tough time believing even a very good player biggest downswing is 1 month. That to me would be just insane. There are guys like squid face who mentioned he had a pretty long downswing a while back and it certainly was more than 1 month and he mentioned he was one of the top 2/5 regs in vegas.


Theres also that guy Bryan Devonshire who wrote article about downswings. He seems to be a very good player etc.


I can certainly see how a player plays 1/2 and 1/3nl and not have a losing month. That certainly is possible. But Andrew doesn't play 1/2 or 1/3 unless he is just fooling around etc. So basically he plays 2/5 and 5/10. I mean are there really 2/5 and 5/10nl players that has been playing at least 5 years and worst downswing or breakeven stretch was 3 weeks? I cannot imagine that for any reg except a very few exception.

I've multi-quoted squid posts on this b4 and don't know where those went but below is a post he made in 2014. Doesn't look like a prolonged downswing at all to me. Pretty sure he crushed 2015 and 2016 he was busy recreating and playing lol Florida games.

BTW, I recall in another post he stated his biggest downswing was greater than that of other pros he knows and of course downswings are always accompanied by some poor play.

My new longest b/e is just over 200 hrs. This is post BF

I am pretty sure Rob Farha has similar numbers in terms of hours break even.

If you are beating the game at a good clip (and playing full time) you really shouldnt have losing months that often.

I generally have about 1 month per year where anything that can possibly go wrong does.

Pretty sure Duke is on a 15 month winning streak (not sure what his longest b/e is since he started stomping the games)

Just had my first losing month in 5 years, played 76 hours (usually play 100-130), lost $1100. Get it in 80/20 for $2k pot and lose, get it in 90/10 for $2k pot and lose, get it in 50/50 for $2800 pot and lose, etc. Flop set, board runs 4 flush. Flop set, board runs 4 straight. Flop flush, board double pairs, you name it. Have second nut boat vs nut boat for $2k pot. Two pots go the other way = +$4k instead. Won first 3 sessions in February for $4k. Still rage-inducing.

I wonder what Molly G thinks about Trooper97's potential as a stepfather. I know a lot of poker and degen guys I've known through the years do the step-dad thing really well. Maybe she knows this. Judging by her facebook history, she actually seems the type of broad who plays the long game and quickly spotted Tim's paternal instincts.

stay out of that girls fb life. sounds creepy. creep moves reviewed...
1.) you searched her name. not sure how you confirmed her last name.
2.) you scrolled thru pics to correct person
3.) you looked thru activity, posts, pics, timeline, etc...
4.) you still haven't met her...but you're posting publicly what she's "all about".

stop bruh. horrible look for you. enjoy the vlog. meat beat to a different chick tho.

long game line was funny tho.

A decent looking single mother looking for a stepfather wouldn't be looking at the Trooper as a potential candidate. He is barely getting by as a single guy. She's probably just amused by his D-List celebrity status on Youtube.

Hopefully she knows a degen would steal her child's college fund to feed a gambling addiction. LMAO @ your premise. Most degenerates shouldn't be allowed within 100 feet of small children.

Damn! Andrew spewed hard in that last vid.

That KQ top two hand was particularly bad. It's not like he got into a spot OOP. It was shove, re-shove, calling with the 5th nuts OTB.

I wonder if he'll go into his overall results since vlogging started? Graphs and whatnot.

Pretty muh everything Frooper is unwilling to do. Share his overall results (which we all know are absolutely dismal).

Please keep the hand discussions to a minimum in this thread or you will offend people like nutmeg, broskie, and offsuit

Yeah that was really bad. Best case scenario he's going to be up against AA and a flush draw. Don't think he'd be the favorite even in that spot. Just pure spew.

She can't tell how good he is at poker. She probably listens to him talk about hands (in the videos) and thinks she is listening to an expert. She would be clueless about winrates at 1-2 NL so she may see nothing wrong with a 1-2 NL pro.

Does she know he is just getting by? Maybe she thinks he is doing well because he lives in a nice place and gets extra money from Youtube. And I doubt Trooper is going to try and make himself look bad when he is around her. If he still lived at Desert Manor her opinion of him might be different.

No guy is going to say things to her like "Yeah I only win around $5-$12 an hour at 1-2 NL." Instead they're going to say nonsense like "I crush the game for $40 an hour; too bad those idiots keep sucking out on me but yeah I'm a $40 an hour winner in the long run at 1-2 NL."

Maybe she is an independent and financially secure woman who is dating Tim because she genuinely enjoys his company and not because she is looking for a meal ticket. Not all women are gold diggers who expect to be financially taken care of.

PLIKITYSTFU,

Your posting history in this thread is nothing but arguments and douchy comments to anyone and everyone. No real content whatsoever, just douching it up.

You keep doing you though, PLIKITYSTFU.

She can't tell??? You don't think she can figure out that he's an amateur. You know he posts his results after every vlog. And about a year ago he was out of money--also posted in the vlog. I don't think you deal with many women if you say she wouldn't know how well he's doing--especially a woman who's a real estate agent.

Andrew thought he was up against pair + Flush straight combos. That's has to be why he called
