He is really getting after it.
Yeah, this right after saying he was going to put in a lot of hours at the cash game tables (btw, curious that he made the decision towards the end of the series)

Based on this statement, I'd guesstimate that you've watched at most 1/3rd as many of his videos as everyone else in this thread.

Am I severely overestimating his expenses, underestimating his likely youtube revenue or does he have to have some other significant undisclosed income source?
I believe he has made good money from TrooperWare recently. Is that sustainable? Probably not, but who knows. He does have some nice designs and a decent sized fan base.

If you were Trooper, would you go to those places and open yourself up to that? Or would you stay in the lesser rooms and stay basically anonymous, or even be praised by Trooper fans who would be the type who would play in those second-tier rooms?
I think you're way wrong on this. Trooper has never liked playing at the big fancy rooms. He isn't self-aware enough to think he is joke among the poker community, and nowadays he is recognized at just about any poker room he goes too. I guess less so at the small rooms, but frankly that just means he is playing more people outside the poker community and that means the games he is playing are quite good.

I support Trooper in this particular case although I did find it funny that he said he can't afford to tip. So if you are poor then you are excluded from having to tip in spots where it is customary? It seems like the proper thing to do would be to work harder so that you could tip appropriately.
