I recall him having a similar loss a ways back. This is probably bigger. Either way I believe the other loss was +/- 200 of this one.

Trooper back to 1/2 - shocking
Operation Uptick isn't over yet! There's still a chance to run it up.
I was thinking about this before watching the most recent vid, and the best thing that could happen to Trooper is to bust his Operation Uptick roll. Think about it. He is making absolutely nothing from poker during Operation Uptick. Perhaps his willingness to do this indicates that he doesn't need income from poker to survive, although I'm a bit skeptical of that. Imagine if Trooper played breakeven at 2/5 for months without busting his roll. Then what? Essentially he would be going months without income from poker.
BTW, Trooper after you bust your roll, feel free to use the above as an excuse. IE it was in your best interest to bust the roll. You have a good way of spinning failure into success.

If you never learn to play poker well, you won't move up either.

Yep. Wynn 1/3 is soft as butter. Still not sure if Trooper would be profitable there. Anyways, if I did an operation uptick it would probably look more like Grind 1/2 --> Wynn 1/3 --> Bellagio 2/5 --> Wynn 2/5 --> Bellagio 5/T

Trooper seemed oblivious to the fact that villain may think Trooper would double barrel air but not triple barrel air or that Trooper would play an 8 like this (rivered trips).

I said it before and I will say it again. Get a job and quit poker forever. Trooper you are not a winning player and are not willing to do what it takes to become one.

That was a palm to face moment. Trooper is a sad and pathetic man. He's been a real underachiever throughout his life. I will give him his props on building his vlog though. That is his one success and if it continues to grow is the one thing that could make him a success.

As Squid Face says, Trooper likes to dick around.
