Glad to see that Negreanu gave some props to the OG, Trooper. Say what you want about him, but Troop basically started it all. That much is not up for debate.

According to trooper he is not a poker vlog but a lifestyle vlog. He cant have it both ways

So why no Vlog from Trooper last night? The night before he released and video about a horrible loss and now no vlog.

So either he lost again big time or maybe he didn't even play because of lack of funds and not enough mail for a live mail video.

Did Variety reported that Darth Vader is going to wear one of Troop's t-shirts in the next Star Wars movie.

Why does Troop respond on YT and not here?

Does he think they are not the same people?

Much more abuse on YT.

Can someone please explain the story behind his big berkey water thing? Did he somehow get sponsored by them? Does he get money somehow if people buy them?

Because YT pays him and he denounced 2+2.

Just another product that has an affiliate program so he can get paid for anyone buying and using his link/code.

He needs all the affiliate products/t shirts/YT, etc he can get since he can't make money playing poker.

They asked Trooper if they could use his shirt, Trooper said no.

Walk down memory lane. Here is Trooper talking about how he would make more money at poker if he didn't have to expend so much time on the vlog. Ironically the exact opposite is true - if it weren't for the vlog he would have been busto long ago. The time he spends on the vlog acts as a poker stop-loss for him, not to mention the income he earns from the vlog itself. Amazing what 100 hours of run good will make a long-term losing player misapprehend about his poker prospects.

+Jesus Cortes All due respect, nothing I did was financially irresponsible. I wasn't playing above my roll or on tilt. There are no stop losses.

Thanks Parisron I figured it was some type of MLM/affiliate thing.

Does any one have any data regarding his largest losses vs. his largest wins. He obviously has massive tilt issues and seems to have a huge number of 5+buy in losses, while never seems to book large wins. It would be interesting to see a comparison of his largest losses vs his largest wins.

Wow, he certainly seems to be putting a positive spin on things. Sounds very positive. I suppose it could all be fake though.

It would be great to see him take a positive spin on life and try to cut down some of the negativity in his daily life. I'm sure he is often on edge and stressed out and that definitely compounds on his state of health but physically and mentally.

I guess we'll see in the next few vlogs if his mentality changes or if he is just faking and reverts back to his old ways. We'll see if you can teach a 50 year old dog new tricks.

This is a problem. No stop losses...only stop wins. When his image/play is sht he continues. When his image is winning /(possibly playing reasonably) he quits

I wonder why he didn't release a vlog yesterday? I hope he didn't spend the whole day holed up in his apartment after he tilted off $1K the previous night.

I'm hoping he's got a better reason like maybe he kept rubbing one out all day long to the clip of Daniel Negreanu giving him a shout out in that interview in his RV.

I'm sure Trooper will try to head over to the Rio to stalk the RV from his car while whispering into the camera like he did with James Woods instead of going up to him, introducing himself, and maybe getting a Negreanu interview for his vlog to spike up his views and subs.

I bet a Negreanu interview from Trooper would get him over 30,000 views and might even break 50,000 after a few days. Heck, if Negreanu links to it on Twitter, Trooper might see his vlog come back to life. From Negreanu's interview, it seems like he would be open to talking with Trooper for few minutes if he wasn't in the middle of a tournament.

I'm sure Trooper is just as prone to going on winner's tilt so that stop win is a good idea for HIM. Both a stop loss and a stop win is a good idea for a player like Trooper who is uncomfortable and at a major disadvantage in a deep stack game.

His mistakes are usually big so why risk a $900 stack when he can walk across the street and rebuy for $300 again? His leaks include calling off big bets on the river with over pairs and blindly bluffing all in on wet boards so he should definitely avoid deep stacked games to minimize those loses when he makes these (and plenty of other) mistakes.

Valid point mrducks. The fact is he is definitely not suited for deepstack poker. But my point is he never seems to allow himself to exploit a good image. While he will hunker down in a game and blast off chips when his image is tilted,losing,spewing.

Because YT comments are mostly quick, dumb one-liners that can be answered by quick, dumb one-liners.

Despite some of the nonsense in this thread 2+2 could have been a great resource for him. He just doesn't have the desire to consider the smart negative criticism offered here or the humility to accept constructive advice without lashing out and telling people they don't have all the information he does to make judgements. It's his ultimate copout. I mean all we have to go on is hundreds of daily vlogs with years of results. He's not a debater. Just a guy that thinks he's executing some kind of plan.

I find it hilarious how he has some disillusional justification for all his weird beliefs.

He thinks that when people say good things about him they must be telling the truth because why bother lying about how someone is so nice but when they say something bad, they must be lying.

He thinks that the reason that his table always have such a long wait list is because everyone is a fan and wants to play with him because he is a poker celebrity not because he releases vlogs showing how he bluffs off $1000 a night at 1/2nl games and everyone is just offer that easy money.

He thinks that since every poker situation is unique, no one can criticize or analyse his poker play because they don't know the physical tells from the other 8 people at the table. This is his security blanket for anytime someone critics his game.

He has some crazy excuse/story in his head for EVERYTHING so that he can justify his actions to himself. I'm sure that he genuinely believes that PokerKraut screwed him over on the weight loss challenge and that the other vloggers conspired to keep him out of the game.

Just like someone else brought up earlier. There are many other Vloggers in Las Vegas and AFAIK there are not any haters of them. Maybe people don't care for them but not hating on them.

Trooper brought it on himself.

By denouncing 2+2 when this is where he got his start of popularity.

Ignoring coaching offers from qualified people here.

Constantly doing stupid things.

His attitude in general.

LOL your Trooper posts get me every time. Spot on commentary as always.

The thing that made me a hater (after quite a while of rooting for him) is mainly his arrogance. He acts like a jerk rubbing people's faces in his successes and then starts blaming everyone else but himself during his failures.

I don't mind someone who tries and fails. That's how you need to approach life. But if you act like you are ALWAYS right and everyone that disagrees with you is ALWAYS wrong, you only show your stupidity.

And it hasn't been an isolated case of gloating and blaming. It's literally EVERY SINGLE TIME. I thought it was just an act at first but I've come to the conclusion that it's just the way he is.

There's a difference between advertising and buying subs if you don't know the difference Conz try google or your local JR College online business course

The great situation Trooper is in with his vlog is that even after messing up and being an arrogant jerk for over 3 years, he can literally turn it around and start being positive today and after he puts out a week or two weeks worth of positive vlogs, people will quickly start to come around on him. He can start repairing bridges, be more organized, or whatever else he chooses to focus on to improve and people will INSTANTLY see his efforts to change.

Usually people who are a--holes have to change for a long time to have people start seeing the new side to them but with a DAILY vlog, the changes will be visible immediately. The only question is: will there be any more viewers when Trooper finally sees the light (if he ever sees the light) to witness the transformation? And will he still be relevant enough to salvage his vlog?

We'll see...
