Anybody have any clue at all of what state his bankroll is at this point? I feel like he have been losing at a scary pace over the last couple of months, and several big losses relative to the 1-2 games in the $700-800 area.

I've never speculated on his BR but I would think it's not very good at the moment. This session affected him big time. If you watched the end of the new vlog where he said "if you like my videos", you can tell that he almost broke down from the tone in his voice. Watch it again and you'll hear what I'm talking about.

Yeah, that is pretty hard to watch to be honest. He is half a second away of breaking down at that point, and you can also see how affected he is in his eyes before that at several points during the rant at the end at parking lot.

Like he is on the end of his rope, that seems pretty clear. How bad it really is for him regarding bankroll, bills, rent and his overall financial situation only he knows. But i have to say it isnt often you see him this affected, despite he blows up regurarly post sessions.

I'm pretty sure everyone kinda enjoys the "car crash" aspect of the vlog, but no one wants to actually see him lose it all

I agree. Even though i can only speak for myself i actually like the guy, and i like his vlogs. His videos have given me so much entertainment, laughs+ more.

That being said i feel he is doing things hard for himself by not wanting to work on his game, refusing to discuss hands, refusing to recieve coaching from proven big winners in the game, giving food to the haters all the time by blowing up and giving them the attention they want +++. Combined with a pretty big lack of ability of self reflection. I mean, if he at this point still tells himself that he is a big longtime +EV player or longtime winning player he is living in another world than everybody else in my opinion.

Pretty sure the trainwreck factor is something that keeps a big percentage of his viewers coming back, even though Trooper himself probably doesent realize that.

You're not alone. Also I noticed a few pages back what you wrote about Kraut. I'm also in that boat and maybe it is a Northern Euro thing? I stopped watching Kraut some time ago, but at least he is being himself and keeping it real.

Well maybe he is just being himself (Kraut), but i am not sure to be honest.

Because as you mentioned i dont really like him, and i think he comes off as a clown in many ways. His english sounds ridicilous, he dont knows **** about good poker (even though he tries to act like he does with his ******ed HH and whatnot), and he appears to think he is a baller without any real reason to believe so. He seems like a drama queen in some ways who enjoys the attention and the noise, just more subtle than for example Trooper. He is socially more aware than Trooper, so he is smart enough to keep it in the background in some way so it doesent come off just as obvious.

In my opinion its something about him that doesent come off as authentic and transparent. Something just doesent add up, thats just my gut feeling when i watched couple of his videos.

trooper seemed really dejected in that last video. He looked like he was about to cry (or jump off the ledge). He needs to stop vlogging and work on his life. But he needs to turn off the camera. It is getting creepy. But if you keep posting. We'll keep watching. But you shouldn't keep posting.

I'm not picking up that vibe from him, he just seem a little clowny.

He prolly doesn't even realize he's a breakeven/losing player, let alone something like that

Honestly - it would be the best thing for him. Go busto and move on. Clinging to this pro gambooler/vlogger thing is just plain bad for him. I dont know anything about how much money can be made vlogging - but I have seen this trajectory many times in the gamboolin world...and the end result is always the same. His issues are way too much to overcome. Unteachable combined with over estimating his skill set - this is a recipe for disaster.

He seems to have somewhat of a fan base - if he can give up gambling and just do a lifestlye vlog he could maybe earn a living wage? Possibly OFA could comment on this

If he was willing to listen to anybody else he could have grown his channel way more by now.but trooper always knows best- as a result he is being passed by vloggers who have been vlogging less than a year.

Second day in a row trooper has left a "bad" game that he was winning in for a "good" game where he proceeds to drop $600+. At this point Im convinced he's trying to go broke on purpose.

PokerKraut could help you with your English.

If you ever get the chance to meet him and his wife you would think otherwise. Good people.

Hasn't he lost it all 3 times since coming to Vegas? It happens once every year for him. And the world doesn't end when he goes broke; he just gets a job. This time he may have to move out of his place, but it was really obvious he couldn't afford that place and I always thought it was a bad idea to move there.

How many times has he gone broke during his life? He will probably just get a job and continue with the poker and vlogging like he did before, and think he runs worse than anyone.

I feel like over limping ak is not good (duh) but am open to some explanation. Problem is that as soon as he said there were "many reasons why he did it" I paused the vid and said to myself, he's not actually going to tell us he's just going to brush it off. Of course he doesn't explain because i think he knows his reasoning is flawed but I think he would be better in the long run if he confronted this kind of stuff and talked through it.

For another example losing 4-5 buy ins at supposed good games repeatedly. This isn't a short term thing with him, it's ongoing for years almost a meme at this point. Instead of chalking it up to run bad he needs to look in the mirror and realize he is either a)not perceiving the games "goodness" or "badness" properly or b)he is not adjusting his game properly depending on the game. He core issue is the inability to adapt and change his rigid mindset and line of thinking.

Honestly he seems like a good enough guy but there is definitely a feeling of him knowing better than everyone else while the poor results are staring him right in the face.

Also judging by the end of the vlog he's busto.

New Brad Owen vlog just out - his ME Day 1. Wow did he have a lousy table draw.

Did I miss something or was it already revealed that, like Boski, he uses a different last name to vlog? You can see it on his main event receipt. Interesting.

Trooper is near busto again.

There's no way YouTube and Troopware are supporting these -$800 punts. He's up 7k for the entire year, that's not a livable wage. 1k/month? Cmon now...

I don't know what you're looking at. Clear as day it's him when he goes to the cage on his players card and when he flashes the ticket.

LOL @ all the gimmicks and regs with the pretend drama uptick. The flow of this thread makes it so obvious to anyone paying attention.

LOL @ the busto talk as well...

Spoiler:
dood built his boobtoob channel and such to where he doesnt really have to worry about day to day expenses and his bills (+a bankroll to steady blow thru that is continually funded). He can just-get-by, which to him is chill for now because him and his squad have positioned up-n-coming bread winners nicely in neeme/owen/boski and they are all gonna hit it big & get famous in this vlog game cause Lemon (& others said so).....amirite Nate ?


Again I ask, where are all the10s of thousands of subs from Poops Boobtoob channel? For that matter, with all this drama that seems to be being cross-shared between our group of #VegasVloggingRegs, where are the 10s of thousands of Owen/neeme/pooper/kraut/boski fans in this thread???

L.O.L.

Drop the lacky already, I would respect the hustle a 100% moar. Dood is only a liability long term, he will eventually **** up for reelz as a result of his arogance/stupidity

The crew needs to do better fellas
