Will I win the Main Event??? (No spoilers! )

Boski's vlogs are getting really good. He's done some really nice editing in the last few. Kudos to the VLoggers game hand where you did the hand analysis over yourself at the table, hard to explain it, but whoever saw it knows what I'm saying. *It looked like Boski in the hand was doing the hand analysis, sorta, kinda*

I hope this happens

Anyone else itt been bombarded by TrooperWare ads on Facebook? It's only been 1 day so it's not like he's spending a fortune but he probably had to put 50-100 bucks in to reach all the US markets he wants to target for a couple days.

Trooper's radio silence has got me scared.

I am starting to think Trooper has gone back working for "the man"

That or a Whopper of a losing session vlog is coming.

Trooper had vowed never to work for the man again ... sad.

He's a bigshot in the clothing industry now

Stop being a drama queen he's just busy making and paying for ads on social media for the 'Wares

I'm very late to the party with Boski's vlogs but would definitely recommend them now. I watched a couple of minutes of one a while back and thought he sounded a bit douchey and have only recently realised I was completely wrong on that one.

Trooper is alive. Posted on Instagram 8 hours ago and also in the comments...

Trooper should become the Ashton Kuchar of poker.

I was just thinking: if he can move to another brand new complex and get another lease special then moving would be very +ev considering how little stuff he has to move and a ton of people now know what complex he lives in.

He's got some income he can show from Google and TrooperWare he can use his June/July sales which probably look pretty good.

More I think about it if he can move to another brand new complex/unit he'd be foolish not to. Which probably means he gets his rent raised where he lives now and stays for another 12 month lease

Let's hope Neeme is not expanding any more with his stuff

Yeah I gave boski a hard time over complaining about losing hands vs fish but he's a lot more real than the other vloggers imo

So he's audio blogging now?

Cliffs
1. "Build something out of nothing"
2. Vegas was used to be about poker, vlogging. Now it's about tropeeware. Hundreds have ordered.
3. Constantly distracted about other stuff while talking and telling the listener about it( the rain). Trooper typical no focus attribute.
4. Go gamble...go get what you want today, don't wait.
5. He's "exploring to see who he is"? Maybe he should explore his poker leaks.

Yea, there is no thumbs down button on that.

Cliffs:
He is busto again and waiting on T-shirt and YouTube money to come in. He barely scraped up enough money to pay rent.

Trooper gives "advice" with zero irony. that's like a kid who has sex for the first time writing a book about picking up women.

I counter all of these busto comments with a clip from a brilliant film that most certainly parallels troopers life success

take specific note of the similarities between mr lebowski and trooper (no use of legs obv due to dia-beetus, in seclusion, love of life gone, opponents bested...the list is endless). I fear molly may be held against her will and our hero is trying to get her back...godspeed sir

Tough going for Trooper. He said in that Anchor thing he needed a break? He just took a "break" waiting for his YouTube check to come in 2 weeks ago.

You don't understand, he made 50 different Trooper shirts with different states. He worked endlessly copying and pasting for hours. He needs a break guys. Two weeks minimum. Also, busto.

I like Trooper and his vlogs, I really do. He probably has the best editing skills of any LV vlogger (especally the intros, although Neeme is closing in). Troop dealt to me at the Linq a couple of times and I think his real-world persona is a genuine guy who means well.

OK, there's a lot of obvious stuff that would be a big win for him but he frustratingly ignores. Smarter Youtube titles being one, no-one searching for a Vegas/poker vlog is going to click on "No swearing in this vlog" or "I need a nap".

How about instead using "Las Vegas vlog #700: Poker at Excalibur" as a basic example. He could learn clickbait tricks from Polk. Also, as mentioned many times, he seems to get drawn to drama & trolls, and lacks the diplomatic wherewithall to not get pulled in. Whether that's naivete or a reflection of him being a bit thin-skinned, I don't know. He clearly loses out big-time in the lack of abilty/willingness to network.

Other than that, there's 2 things that sometimes annoy me that I can't remember seeing covered here:
1. The Vlog is often about The Vlog. It's self-fulfilling. It's like rapping about rapping. People look for escapism.
2. The goose that lays the golden eggs...A.K.A. the vlog driving Trooperware. If you focus too much on the golden eggs, you ignore the goose and the goose dies.

Wish him all the best, and I don't pretend to know all the answers (although when in Vegas I only take 1 full buy-in to a table, and if I lose that I quit for the night). TAA was a good start on trying to diversify his content. I guess he has to ask himself who Neeme's extra 45k of subs are, where did they come from, and what stops them subbing to Troop also.

Pretty good post, especially coming from someone's ears.
