I think he "grasps" why he did what he did.
And is then saying its bad.

And yes, it is extremely, horrendously bad.......

I was reading the comments on this disputable hand and there is nothing really to dispute about it.

Yeah feel like the criticism is a little harsh…obv he should jam over the 225 given the stacks assuming they are 1keff…live and learn and at least he told the truth about the others holdings and admitted that he was either going to scoop the pot uncontested or get it in super-good if he had called/ jammed

I jumped back on the vlogs for the 100 vlog and the 2 since then to see if anything has changed but it's the same crap. His idea of playing poker on the strip everyday being the constant of the vlog is pretty lame now. He doesn't show any hands, just shots of random whole cards as if to show people that he's actually playing poker but I don't think anyone really cares anymore.

The storyline video mimicing some sort of Breaking Bad/drug movie thing was okay but it didn't get any extra views. He's gone on and on in the last 2 videos complaining about how long it took to edit that one video because it was an actual video and not his generic same formula day in and day out video. I really goes to show how lazy he is in that after 1 day of working 5 or 6 hours to edit a video he can't stop complaining about how much time it took. Unless he's just angling for his viewers to send him money because he actually had to work for that one video.

He keeps saying 'I'm not complaining' right before and after all of his complaints because he realizes that his videos are now just him whining for 15 minutes a day. He seems exhausted and needs a break. The energy to hit 100 has been completely wiped out by the dissapointment of the lack of fanfare and excitement of him hitting 100. I think his fantasy is finally starting to crumble and he's beginning to realize that how 'accomplishments' don't really mean anything to anyone else.

About retirement and getting old, he's got some inheritance money already and will be getting more from his mom down the road. It seems like he's banking on that and is just trying to make it to that point which is pretty sad. He doesnt really spend money so he'll be okay if he doesn't do anything stupid like start playing above 1/3nl.

He's the equivalent of a guy working a minimum wage job with a hobby that he enjoys. It just so happens that he keeps a video diary for 10,000 people to see.

Do you believe Trooper did something wrong to you?

I find myself watching more and more of this guy Pompsie YouTube videos.

https://www.youtube.com/c/Pompsie

It's amazing how many donations, and how large some of the donations are, on his livestreams.

Every vlogger could double/triple their YouTube revenue by doing Livestreams and answering "super chat" questions for money. I saw Pompsie rack up about $500 in donations in one hour of a Livestream. Same for NotLeavingLasVegas.

A Woman (Michelle) sent Pompsie (2) $50 bombs in the 1st 15 minutes of today's Livestream.
Another person sent him a $50. A scattering of $2's $5's, $10's, and $20's tossed in there.
He easily racked up a few hundred dollars in today's Livestream.

I just don't get it. But good for him. He and his cute wife seem like pretty nice and courteous people. I often watch his videos, but skip the livestreams, which is just him walking the strip. But don't blame him as he makes money doing it.

Add Norma geli to good vegas vlogger vids. She has some good food vids, but has starting repeating some things. Guess it's hard to keep doing original food vids.

I never considered that.

That said: I seriously doubt it.

He just uses a sliding scale of money management based on what the BR is. When it gets close to 10 or 15k he is a poker grinding machine and cuts out a lot of leaks like VBJ, etc.

A lot of people are like that in life. If they start earning more or feel like they have more money in their bank account, they increase their spending accordingly. I have friends who switched jobs and got pay bumps and a year later they have just as much debt or even more and just increased their spending to match their increased salaries.

To me, I like banking more each month, rather than spending more and banking the same when things are going good.

Getting back to the more important things in life:

Trooper was in a surly mood today.

Long story short: Fortunately for Trooper, he had a SPRKLi pop on him to cheer himself up a bit.

Trooper: "No matter how bad it gets, I don't think there's anything that a SPRKLI pop can't make just a tiny bit better".

The 9:30 minute mark:

TBC says he is still banned from the forums even after the recent changes.

I am surprised he didn't call the FBI for that crazy scam that took place...

If anyone actually cares without having to read through the first 90% of gibberish to get to the scam...

Basically he wasn't clocked into the system and someone else was - this someone he claims to be the girlfriend of a rich person.

So this rich couple and the casino are in cahoot to scam him and possibly others out of hourly comps.

Huge scandal.

Well this scam has the potential to be worth hundreds if not a thousand dollars per year.

TBC's blogs are so sad. Seems like he lives an extremely lonely and miserable existence and then he projects all this negativity outward by getting upset over $7 in comps and picking up all these right wing ideas and conspiracy theories.

I wonder if the best thing for him would be to go busto, quit poker and casinos and settle down somewhere with a job that would provide emotional and financial stability.

Many people who are afflicted with autism have a special talent or ability. For some it's a photographic memory, or a superhuman grasp of music composition. For Tony it's his ability to apply a racist, homophobic, conspiracy-theorist angle in every situation he finds himself in.
