Funniest thing on Twitter today someone asked him if he gets massages at the tables. I thought to myself the guy can't afford furniture or heat he sure isn't duking the massage girls for massages. LOL

Frooper in another GREAT GAME he just can't beat. Loses $160.

That QQ hand wow. He bets $50 into $190 OOP then calls the river raise when you beat what? Busted A high clubs? Ac4c isn't in his range Frooper?

If he didn't film it he'd of course tell us he lost a big pot with QQ (no details) and he got sucked out on.

The guy is clueless. He can't fold when he's beat and wants to play big pots with 1 pair OOP. Standard spots he can't even pot control.

wonder if the Trooper pom pom wavers feel even slightly guilty for encouraging this guy.

He acts like its normal to be a 'villian' at the table. To have someone slam down 7,2 against you is not a compliment, especially when you are down money at the table. You are doing something wrong.

Gold mine to have position on Trooper at a poker table.

That is what trooper life seems to look like due to some questionable decisions at times.

When Trooper had that 100 hours promotion. He only talked about the bad beats. Other than that he lead it to believe he started crushing the game because he played more. He never showed many hands he won during that 100 hrs. Lord knows how many poor folks at MGM were sucked out on by trooper. Trooper ran good, and made it seem like he found his way. Don't act like trooper keeps everything 100% raw.
LIES? LMFAO

1) If you play poker for a living you have major life leaks in one form or another - its inherrent with the simple choice of living that lifestyle

2) Andrew has been doing vlogs for months and crushes every session. We all know that isnt possible. A winning poker player is going to have losing sessions. We never see them. Thats all I am saying. (Im actually ok with this). Its not fair to compare a guy showing everything he does daily vs someone who appears to be showing the highlights from his sessions every week or two. That being said I dont think anyone would argue Trooper is a more accomplished poker player than Andrew but one must be objective is discussing what they are actually watching.

That river b/c with QQ was pretty brutal, but the worst part is you know he put it in the vlog to show a bad beat. Meaning even in reflection he's thinking he played it great.

I wonder if the haters are getting tired of Jizzing on themselves the exact moment a new video is realeased. How do you relieve yourself throughout the day having to wait 24 hours for your trooper fix?

Its one thing to watch the video and critque it like a normal human being. What you and a few others do isnt being a "normal human being." But hey, who ever expected the internet to change.

Perhaps in your mind $70/hr at 5/T, $35/hr at 2/5, and $14/hr at 1/2 are crushing. I don't consider those crushing numbers when some players make far more, but I'm guessing we will never agree on this.

It's not about having top pair it's just he doesn't know what the **** he's doing.

First of all, he cuts his chips before the river falls indicating he plans to bet. So he's trying to feign strength by doing this but anyone that plays live knows this is a huge tell of weakness. Troopers hand is "weak" and he knows it is. (Frooper is not smart enough to second level this tell here and ffs he's on one if he thinks he needs to 2nd level live tells in a ****ty 1/2 game).

Then he bets $50 into $190. I mean I guess sometimes he bets 1/4 pot here for value to get a thin call from villain's 10 or middle pp, but in actuality he doesn't want a showdown and thinks this bet may win him the pot. Then again why are you betting if you put your opp on a range of clubs? Don't you want to check to induce the river bluff and snapoff with your 2-pair. Nah he wants to bet villain out of the pot who may only hold hands he beats. Then he gets raised gaining all the info he needs but still calls it off.

I have refrained from talking strategy itt but this one just showed how easy it is for Froop to lose a $500 pot at 1/2 and still think it's a bad beat.

Jeebus I don't think the fella could have played that pocket queens hand any worse.

Pretty standard until the river. Obv played horribly on the end. But he said he was battling, haha.

Wow can't wait to watch the latest video.

Trooper does have a huge leak of calling big bets on the river when he should easily be folding. So this doesn't surprise me. It's a really horrible leak to have though.

I like Tim, but that's such a bad attitude to carry into a game. It's funny how the "karma doesn't exist so I can be as ****ty as I wanna be" guys, are often what proves to people that karma exists when you see them defeated.

When you're looking for a fight, you'll get one. But the big ego guy is the easiest mark to spot at any table, and will often be the one leaving stuck.

*Openly admits he wants to/likes to be hated at table, wonders who would call him on filming.

Some idiot that can't even spell poker sucked out on his QQ with his four deuce!!!

Spoiler:
42 was a slight favorite on the flop, and was 100% on the river when most of the chips went into the middle.

I saw him make a similarly bad call of a river raise IRL.

QQ and top pair were essentially the same thing in that spot.

Not necessarily.

I agree with your general premise but technically it is possible. I recently won 13 sessions in a row. I have a friend that won 28 sessions in a row once.

Agreed. That's the most brutal part of most of his hand histories. If Doug Polk ever makes a Top 5 Greatest Trooper Hands Ever video this one definitely belongs on it.

Now that I think of it there is so much gold for Doug Polk to make a Trooper video out of. Definitely have to include some of the footage from Trooper's live stream lol.

I recall him showing 2 losing session for sure. Numbers are not 100% accurate,but they are close. He lost 200 something at Golden Nugget in his second filmed session. He lost 700 I think in mixed game at Golden Nugget. Then a couple times he said he won very little. One of his biggest videos was with him calling a shove with Aces, he was behind losing to kq(two pair) and he sucked out.

I don't think Andrew brings his camera with him every day. I think sometimes he just wants to grind without having to vlog.

We are talking about the vlogs.
If and when he makes a good decision we will comment on that too.
Like when he played 100hrs in 2 weeks. That was a good decision.
