Christina's money is what keeps Trooper out of the tunnels.

Yea but how often is he getting the drinks where is isn't already staying at or playing at a Caesars properties where he's already activated a casino day anyway?

I remember the Aria poker room had a really bad batch of Fuji water for a few days. It was just nasty.

At the same time the Caesars fountain has been emptied. Maybe a coincidence maybe not.

more often than you think if you watch his vlog, ive seen around 50 and i can remember at least 5 times he has. yeah i guess its a bit small but it matters , i played less in November and got my December offers cut in half from 300 a week in food/resort credit to 200 and it wasnt even a big drop off.

i was getting super bowl weekend comped now im not over 2-3 days i messed up my casino days

Yea but he's never getting comp rooms 300 free play etc. Not sure how often you're in Vegas but assuming it's not a ton when you have a high enough ADT to get such offers and swipe your card a few times giving them zero action you can really hurt it.

His ADT isn't very high to begin with and he's on their properties a ton of days so even if he gets drinks and wouldn't be at their properties otherwise that day it really doesn't bring it down that much.

The only comp days I've heard him mention were the 5,000 TC nights.

My comps got cut about 6 months ago and the few times he's mentioned room rates my calendar shows the same rates as him including that 99 dollars at Caesars F1 Friday.

So yea if someone is on Caesars properties 10-20 days a year and is getting comped well it's a bad move to grab the free drinks when you aren't already playing that day. For him the difference is going to be negligible.

A friend of mine also always has the same rates as me in Vegas (in AC they vary slightly).

He probably spent 25 days this year staying at Caesars properties and gave them zero action other than maybe 2-3 wsop events. El Diesels rates arent going to get worse from these drinks. If they would then surely my friends rates would be atrocious by now.

And I say this as someone who is very careful with this stuff. I've had times where I had really good offers somewhere and I go one day to eat hang out etc where they'll get zero action. I won't use my card at all- not for food not for parking, nothing.

im in vegas around 300 days out of the year for the past 2 years and change.

its obviously not all poker, more sports and slots, not CET properties, boyd/mgm/station/circa properties


they really be that fickle sometimes

.

Saw him at Aria today. Didn't realize it was trooper thursday. That thing has to be running on fumes by this point.

I think this time of year was always slow for Trooper Thursday anyway. And with no more Feather and Mike at the games and anyone else who doesn’t show up anymore because of their feud.

I’m wondering what’s happened with Clubs. No more Go Gamble World podcasts and no more showing up at TT. I wonder if he sided with Mike and Feather and isn’t friends with Trooper anymore?

Yes, he has depended on the kindness of strangers for much of his Vegas existence.

Based on a review of his videos posted since basically quitting poker day to day, he has posted videos for about 75% of available Thursdays, so either the games were cancelled and or he has not vlogged / not posted a vlog.

lol, nasty is the local water/rocket fuel residue that flows from Henderson faucets.

Thanks, Timet, which ironically is located on Water Street.

TBC over $42K. I don't care what anyone says... that's impressive. What was he at- $29K six months ago? And with his high expenses, it makes it all the more impressive. I'm afraid he's coming to LV in December though.... the machines are going to get the best of him. If he didn't have that BJ addiction.....Sigh.

I think TBC won roughly 16k in under 2 months just playing Holdem in Reno. Some of that is blackjack profits but that still is a sick run, considering he’s down in plo/mix lately.

Trooper Thursday struggles to keep going and Diesel is sleeping in his car for 2 days straight, meanwhile the biggest problems TBC has are his deformed toenails and being scared because the cleaning staff turned off his room light.

TBC is such a legend, he could drop 10k on the dealers angel machine, go postal on some nice tourist, then go right back to grinding 1/2nl. Trooper calls off $800 bucks at Horseshoe and basically quits poker to become a full time candy salesman. If Diesel loses $1k in a day he would have to be locked up in mental institution.

Hahaha all very true.

It seems like more and more frequently, TT doesn't even get up and running?
And if it does get up and running, it fizzles out early?
One of life's mysteries is why the Westgate has anything to do with the Trooper.

He's also not promoting it the way he used to. Every time he plays now, he looks miserable. I really think he's ready to leave poker behind him and go full-in with trying to make Sprkli a success. The problem is that he needs the viewers of his vlogs to buy that crap. There's no way they build a customer base outside of their YT audiences. These next six months are going to be fascinating to watch, for sure.

I think he's been ready for a long time to leave poker. His heart isn't in it anymore ever since the WSOP main event when he sold at 1.25 mark up. After that he has had no desire to play poker outside of TT and online micros.

But I agree that he needs to keep his viewers engaged somehow so that they continue buying all his crap merchandise and candy. I guess he's between a rock and a hard place in terms of how to go forward with that.

It's also interesting that while their business application is still pending they have not been selling any candy. This surely can't be of their own choosing. I wonder what the back story is for that? Maybe a hater reported their business to the authorities and they were told to stop taking orders until they had the paperwork finalised?

No landlord wants someone running a commercial food business out of a residential apartment.

That could be part of the reason why he moved and doesn’t want people to know his new apartment location.

People in this thread will contact his landlord and snitch on him. To help protect the people buying it of course, not be be a pain in troopers’ ass

SPRKLi has reached its peak, and is currently in a freefall.
Zero chance SPRKLi could ever pay the bills for one person, never mind two people.
For all intents and purposes SPRKLi will never be more than a hobby going forward.

The Troopers have been living off of Christina's money for a long time now.
SPRKLi is simply a dodge to pretend someone is meaningfully employed.

Trooper Thursday didn't run last week either said hi to him though. They had like 5 players and never started.

I am shocked that room is still open.

Shutting down after Superbowl is word on the street

This is literally the first utterance of the word "SPRKLi" i've ever seen, and I'm going to go out on a limb and predict it's related to their candy business, of which I've only seen a random 30 second YT snip from once I learned they were peddling their wares on the streets of vegas. But what I really noticed was the blatant ripoff of Neeme's clothing line FVRBL, which actually has a rich history behind it that evolved organically from fans noticing his constant use of the term in his vlogs.

There are usually games when I go there. They are horrible rake trap games where people are sitting $80 deep.

It would be nice if there was even like a 2/3 $500 cap game with action. I'd play that here and there.

Anyway, it looks like they are going ok for what was always going to be a small room. But what do I know?
