Interview with trooper is interesting, the recent development of the guy who never lies admitting he was lying about the poker vlog thing is fun. Didnt realize he made that much from youtube for a couple months, no wonder el diesel looks up to him so much, he probably thinks hes one of the richest players in poker history. Did he work at maggianos AFTER that?

Interesting interview though, everyone is the hero of their own journey

Ive been 7 stars the last 2 or 3 years, never used a drink coupon once, had 2 celebration dinners go unused this last year. Luckily i own enough water i dont have to, an embarrassment of riches. El diesel if he reads that will throw up

They are unlisted videos on YT, you need the link from that original site.

Yes that's exactly what I said. It comes under his benefits though, which like I said before laughably the value of which would represent a significant % of his annual poker profits.

Put another way; he wouldn't be able to survive without his benefits. He only manages to save a whopping 2k per year currently but he wouldn't be able to even come close to covering his cost of living if it were not for his Ceasars Rewards.

Yeah but most people who make 100k just spend all their money, so actually saving 2k is doing better than all of them.

What with the super Bowl coming to town, Rice missed out on a golden opportunity to release a series of videos on how to get to Allegiant Stadium from some of the major Strip hotels.

He could of did videos like:
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from Mandalay Bay
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Luxor Hotel
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Excalibur
How to walk to Allegiant stadium stadium from New York hotel
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from Park MGM hotel
How to walk to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Bellagio
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from Caesars hotel
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from Mirage hotel.
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Venetian
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Flamingo hotel
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Horseshoe hotel
How to walk to the Allegiant stadium from the Paris hotel
How to walk to the Allegiant stadium from the Planet Hollywood hotel
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the MGM Grand
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Tropicana hotel

The hordes of tourists coming into town could really have used this information.

Don’t forget from the Wynn to Allegiant Stadium followed by the Encore to Allegiant Stadium, the subtle differences will surprise you!

Yes
I should have mentioned:
How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Venetian followed by How to walk to Allegiant stadium from the Palazzo.

So he's missing out on a few hundred tier credits which won't make a difference at the end of the year.

Don't get me wrong I like having high status with Caesars also but missing 2-3 hours of this multiplier that he might not even actually get is meaningless.

You don't understand. Diesel sets up challenges so he has something to shoot for and for content.

Too bad he doesn't do an increase my hourly by getting better at poker challenge.

What is an extra 2,000 empty calories among friends?

He still holds a grudge against the kid who had a bigger piece of cake on his 8th birthday.

Who the hell designed that WWW site?

one thing i gotta say...you guys were ripping him to shreds when he changed his previous challenge parameters saying he never sticks to his plans

now that he's trying to stick to his challenge and reach his goal you guys still criticizing him

he cannot win no matter what he does

He eats like a staved crocodile, tear and swallow.

Order ahead and it would take 15 minutes to eat.

And you seemingly commend/defend him either way.

One is something he changed in the middle of a challenge to achieve his goal easier. The other is turning down an invite to dinner with a close friend for some meaningless challenge.

i never ripped him for failing at his challenges bc his challenges are always stupid and pointless and have no real penalty for failing.

The way Rice sets up his challenges, then copes, he actually can't lose no matter what.

Sounds like OMC is done with poker, or maybe just poker vlogs. Maybe he can't play on Trooper Sundays, so won't have anything he can easily film anymore.

Law School and Birthday parties are a scam.

Pretty much this. His narrative has changed to suit him.

To listen to him now you would think that coming to Vegas and becoming a winning poker player was never his ambition at all. His plan all along was to just make YouTube videos and eventually get into selling candy to his viewers... yeah bro sure it was!

But I still don't know why people here couldn't get their head around the fact that he's not broke and he probably never will be. He has enough fans that will support him and will buy any crap he chooses to sell.

Honestly, stopping him from playing poker and other gambling was the smartest thing Lady Trooper and her family could have done for Trooper!

He is definitely broke. The numbers hes talking about is when his channel was at his peak 8 years ago. What about the last few years? He said himself in a video a year or two back he's no longer rolled for 2/5. He's clearly not making money from poker, and his channel has been surpassed by just about anyone with a vlog now. Youtube $ and merch sales would have plummeted as a result. He pivoted and went all in on this candy thing, I think it's clear he's not making enough from his other sources of income if hes willing to just abandon years of work. He couldn't sustain his youtube success and now he has no choice but to find another way.

I don’t buy what he’s selling in the vlog, but the drama of trooper in Vegas is over to me
