Would love to see Neeme hire Trooper to edit his vlogs.

He also cashed his insurance cheque for poker when he had that bumper accident. And also instead of fixing it, he went and refinanced and bought a newer car....

He well lost his **** during that live feed he did a few months ago. That was beyond crazy.

A Coldplay song entitled "Drunk and High" may (or may not) describe my current status and the reason for the denigrating post I'll likely feel a little bad about in the morning, but damn, Troop's narcissism is actually NPD (and yes, I'm sure there is also a litany of psychological disorders associated with hatin' on someone on the internet while D and H, but I digress)....

From Psychology Today:

A grandiose view of one's own talents.

The hallmarks of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) are*grandiosity, a lack of empathy for other people, and a need for admiration. People with this condition*are frequently described as arrogant, self-centered, manipulative, and demanding. They may also concentrate on grandiose fantasies*(e.g. their own success, beauty, brilliance) and may be convinced that they deserve special treatment. These characteristics*typically begin in early adulthood and must be consistently evident in multiple contexts, such as at work and in relationships.*

People with narcissistic personality disorder believe they are superior or special, and*often try to associate with other people they believe are unique or gifted in some way. This association enhances*their self-esteem, which is typically quite fragile underneath the surface. Individuals with NPD*seek excessive admiration and attention in order to know that others think highly of them. Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder have difficulty tolerating criticism or defeat, and may be left feeling humiliated or empty when they experience an "injury" in the form of criticism or rejection.*

This has already been posted. Multiple times I believe. Fits him exact

I doubt anyone is going to feel sorry for Trooper and he's going to have an extremely rough go here if poker doesn't turn around. His channel seems a bit stagnant now and poker is going to be what makes or breaks him. Unfortunately, he's exhausted a lot great resources that were willing to help him out for free and those opportunities have soon left. I came to this town about 6 months before he did, severely underfunded like he was but I chose to go the route of working my way up in a different industry from poker. Trooper and I talked a few times a few years back and I tried a few times to link him up with two agencies that could have used his video editing talents and help fast track his knowledge on internet marketing/YouTube monetization since this is the industry we work in. The person that my boss hired to do in house video editing was on a very nice 5k a month salary for probably no more than 20-30hrs a week work on his own time.

It's amazing to see the stories of the opportunities that he passed up to be where he's at now. Granted it's a long way from where he was and he leveled up in life a few notches so kudos to him. The thing is, if his bubble bursts from the channel or he hits another bad downswing it's going to be even harder to rebound when he's turned away a lot of good resources.

NO! I prefer Neeme's videos with his drones, split screens, and hand analysis graphics. The Trooper is okay with his opening shots but other than that, he's lazy and just cuts together selfie stick shots. Plus, I would hate Neeme to get sucked into Trooper's lame and depressing world. You need to be careful who you surround yourself with because a guy like Tim would suck the life out of Neeme and would drag him down.

I'm also sure Neeme would feel bad for Trooper, pay him anyway, and then just edit his own stuff. I can see Trooper taking advantage of Neeme's kindness and trying to piggy back off of him to get his own channel more subs.

Trooper can help PokerKraut improve his vlog if he wants and Kraut will teach him to be happy in life. I actually think Tim would get WAY more out of them than a few hundred dollars.

Had Trooper tried hardcore and failed, people would feel sorry for him and would have enjoyed the ride. But, the guy has been half assing it for a while and has turned down TONS of help for all different angles (poker and non poker) because of his stupid ego so when he crashes and burns, people won't feel bad and will probably forget him rather quickly.

It's sad but true.

I would watch a kraut and troop colab. That actually sounds good.

I meant just hiring troop purely as a worker, ie. edit this the way I want it etc.

Naistat didnt edit his vlogs (I think)

This is nothing new for Trooper. He has had these types of depressed moments before.

He is getting criticized more in the comments section today. It's so ironic after he was making fun of his critics just 3-4 days ago. Now he is giving his critics more material to attack him with.

The criticisms in the comments section for him are really not that bad by Youtube standards though. I've watched other people on Youtube with far more viewers who have accomplished more and come across as more humble and they get a ton of comments from haters.

I've always thought Trooper should go back to 2-3 videos a week. That's when the vlog was at its best but I guess the money and his ego haven't allowed that to happen.

Yea like Tim will ever willingly take direction from someone else on how to edit, that surely matches his history of behavior:

Andrew: I think this scene would look best if you edited like this.

Tim: You know less about editing together vlogs than anyone who has ever suggested notes. You literally know nothing about what you're talking about.

PokerKraut don't **** around.

Listen to story at around 16 min!

Frazermok's videos are pretty decent.

There's another guy in Florida who I just noticed last night: I can't find him now. Crap.

Is it Charlie Gomez? I came across his videos a couple days ago......a 1/2 grinder in Florida

I've gotten lazy. Will update at end of March. Trooper's having a good year in many ways. I'm happy for him.

So you are so much pro-trooper that everything you write looks like sarcasm?

No but I have seen his first one. Going to watch the second later today.

This guy is playing some 2/5 as well.

You almost got it!

wow, that's a really terrible way to live. No wonder you are jealous of Trooper's lifestyle.

Sorry, I was just taking a page out of the Trooper Haters' playbook. I'm sure Tampa Trooper is a good guy and may make for a decent watch along with Trooper and PokerKraut vids.

Trooper is now a winning poker player, which makes him above average. He dresses in a way that makes him look 20 years younger. That is actually a positive. Whether the coffee is overpriced or not is debatable. I'd say not. He tends to go to the cheaper Starbucks locations on the strip. Regardless, he's not paying for any of it.

Sounds like a great way to fit in with all the busto degenerates in the poker room.

Good work. Sounds like you are living the dream.

Thanks for the post. This is very interesting. Perhaps people with NPD are simply more talented and have good reason to think of themselves so highly.

That's pretty awesome! Have you had the opportunity to hang out with Trooper at all recently? That Say Hi To Matthew vlogger got to hang out with Trooper a couple times and he doesn't even live in Vegas! Sick life.

No rush. We appreciate your work, and are happy for Trooper too!

I'm seeing a lot of comments on YouTube about trooper soliciting money. Which vlog is that?

I still see comments from people that think Trooper is in his 20's lol. The way he dresses probably does make people think he is younger.

I think in life you have to be deliberate to succeed or at least reach higher levels of success. Trooper has been going through the motions for quite sometime wrt to his Vegas vlogging (Austria vlogs not included). However he went through the motions before and squandered a 40k bbj. Those life opportunities are few and far between. Plus when the old thread was super popular and Troop pitched a WSOP package in 2015, he had his small following really rooting for him. He squandered that opportunity by turning down a gofundme idea and months later signed up for paltry patreon donations.

He needs to re-focus and re-shift his energy and ask himself how he wants to look back on these years of vlogging. During that re-shift he needs to stop patting himself on the back for editing videos and stop telling people how "busy" he is.

FFS there's a guy itt who is in the military and stationed in Africa watching Trooper vids and he has to watch the guy complain about how crazy his life is? Gimme a ****ing break.

A pity party is not a party if it's self pity.

Does Tedtbear have him camera ready for when Troop or Kraut have to show their big fat white hairy ass on Freemont Street in their speedos?

Play in slow mo backwards and forwards like the ski accident

You can put on that Drew P Weiner channel you share with Carl's JR and COTC

LMFAO!!!

1 more day

Embrace your haters Troop...

The only thing worse than the slanderers is those foolish enough to listen to them.
