Every state is different but you're allowed to keep a certain amount of money they can't touch. I think some states also can't touch your house (might be wrong on that).

For all we know she could have long ago put the house is his name for just this reason. She can even do the same with bank account as they'll only go back 5 years assuming she trusts him not to rip her off.

Really we don't know his mom's financial situation,her health,what kind of insurance she may have etc.and none of us can predict the future as to the card she may need one day or how long she would need it for.

This is honestly a good question and not one that I have a good answer for. Like I said, I used to root for Trooper. Then, I think I saw his true qualities and what kind of person he is and became turned off. He's just such an insincere grifter. Lazy. Arrogant. Spiteful.

I root for every other vlogger I watch including Boski, Brettski, Jaman, Neeme, Brad, Rampage, etc. I am even part of the teeny tiny minority on 2+2 that roots for El Diesel and PMAN! I love poker vlogs and I have so much admiration for those that can pull off this insanely hard life. I'm a failed poker pro from 2005 so I know how hard it is!

I wish I didn't care about watching Lollipop Boy's vlogs, but I still find it irresistible for some reason. I suspect it's because I've been following for seven or so years and want to see how this story ends.

Thanks for your observations- you have a good day, as well.

Well, I''ll tell you what. I just made a massive order of Sprkli pops. Looks like our boy really needs it right now.

She would be in medicare and they don't take anything.

I, for one, hope he turns it around before "everyone in the Vegas Valley knows his name".

Trooper has a brother.

Poker is a tough game when you experience a downswing. When trooper ran well he didn’t capitalize on his run good sessions because somewhere in the middle he probably punted or made a bad river call. Eliminate that and a $150 winning session turns into a +$500 winning session. This is the reason why he is a losing player. When things do go badly for him he will have $700+ losing sessions which can definitely happen when everything in the world goes wrong at the table. His tilt issues will cause him to maximize his downswing. I’m on a month and a half downswing myself and it’s definitely not a fun time to play.

lol, dark

He's awesome and will make it no doubt.

Bama: How do you know so much about Trooper's personal life? Are you a friend from his hometown?

He wasn't just good at it, he was fantastic. Easily one of the best dealers I've seen.

If she needs long term care such as a nursing home Medicare does not cover that.

Narcissism is an evil mistress. It looks like tilt. But its my hand is better, I’m superior to my opponents, I’m entitled to the pot and what about me?

Inflated ego is a death sentence for a poker player.

ehh beyond the tilt trooper just has basic issues with game theory/math. Thats going to block him from ever playing 5/10+

Unless your born with the gift to know that stuff its going to take heavy duty coaching to learn that stuff, and he wont ever get it.

Bellagio back in the day had minimum 2/5 NL. Bay 101's smallest game is 2/3/5 NL. Obviously it makes the bigger games softer at the expense of those that can only afford to play 1/2 or 1/3. I think in higher cost of living places though, like california, below $5 big blind should just disappear. Its just making the house richer, no one is really winning in those games.

It's easy to be great at a job when you do it for a short period of time. After doing a soul crushing job for a significant period of time, quality goes down fast.

But Trooper fanboys will fanboy.

the inheritance would explain his result in the last 5 years perfectly, trooper seems exactly like the kind of person who starts making really dumb decisions right after he gets any kind of windfall because building wealth is a completely foreign concept to him. instead of seeing a windfall as an opportunity to use that money to make even more money he see it as an opportunity to start making really dumb and lazy decisions that he was maybe not making previously, similar to what a lot of lottery winners who went broke have done. probably a ton of really bad spite calls when he knows hes beat but the other person did something to hurt his ego and just other generally undisciplined behavior at the tables. because i really doubt his turnaround from a winning player to what he is now is solely due to just the games getting harder.

Im genuinely surprised that so many think this way. I mean it definitely could be the case but I think it could also be very far off the mark.

There's no way to ascertain his wealth from the way he lives his life day to day. Some people just prefer to have their money sitting in the bank rather than spending it. Take someone like Allan Kessler, he is as frugal as it comes with things like food/clothing. No one would see him and think he's got a lot of money.

Allan's just a massive nit, in poker and in life. He only gambles when he thinks he has the best of it. From poker to slots, to casino comp hustling etc. Now it could be debated whether he actually has an edge in poker or not but he obviously feels that he has an edge just by playing tighter than everyone else. I personally feel he probably does have a small edge in low/mid stakes buy-in events, probably not in the bigger buy-ins because the pros aren't going to give him any action.

I sense that Trooper only plays poker because it facilitates his other income streams. His YouTube channel income, his income from his Westgate games, his clothing/hats and merch sales, even coffee and lollipop sales; its all possible because of his following and his followers by and large started following him because they are into poker.

If we assume that he breaks even in poker overall, including cash games and tournaments. He probably would be fine with that as long as it's generating enough income from his other streams. There's no way to know how much he's making from all those things but I reckon it could be a lot more than some of you are guessing.

He no longer does any other form of gambling aside from using his freeplay at Westgate for video poker. He has probably realised that he's not a successful gambler. In his last video he mentions that when he used to play craps and BJ he rarely ever won.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a lot of money sitting in the bank for his retirement plan. His income streams could easily cover his living expenses. The only thing I ever see him spend his money on is coffee and cheap fast food. He doesn't spend anything on fancy restaurants, clothing, travelling or booze/drugs or strip clubs. He's basically a nit with his money.

Some people are more wreckless with their money when they don't have much of it. As soon as they have a bit they nit it up because they want to protect it at all costs. I've always thought this is the way Trooper is. He gambled when he had nothing, now that he's set himself up and got something he's overly cautious with it and only wants to gamble if he is getting a freeroll.

He can't play there outside of TT. TT would then lose it's uniqueness. He's only getting paid on TT, so playing there on any other day only dilutes his brand. He's smart enough when it comes to marketing to not do that.

That's not the case for any casino, other than maybe places like Slots a Fun.

It's not even a newer concept. Dan Harrington wrote about it in one of his books 15-20 years ago.

When I played there, Bay had 1/2/2 or something like that, with a $5 drop. What's their drop now?

If The Trooper was dealing at my table for my next Vegas trip I'd be tipping him extra. Guy's an OG, a YT legend, and for him to man up and take a job he'd excel in, I'd be rewarding him with extra tips.
