I don't think it matters much if people mention his leaks or if he tells people info about his game in the videos. He is playing in really easy games. Opponents aren't going to start doing a good job of exploiting his weaknesses.

"First you jump off the cliff and you build your wings on the way down." -Ray Bradbury

I think Trooper is the living embodiment of this quote, for better or worse.

"I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it." -Ray Bradbury

Operation Trooper results has begun...

WTF Surf get a life mate. Listen to Dark Side of the Moon more or something!

All Trooper needs to do is another 100 hours challenge and make 5k again. Just like that he's back to even.

He won that $40k in Vegas in 2008 I believe. He was answering questions in a video and someone asked what he did with the money, and he said he basically just lived off it.

Hookers and blow.

I don't know about him never working a job again but at 30,000+ views per day that is probably close to $700 - $1000 per month in Youtube revenue, for whatever that's worth as a % of his monthly spend.

http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/thetrooper97vlog

TheTrooper is not getting anywhere near 30k views per day. On the other hand that Andrew Neeme fella is obtaining about 5x the views of TheTrooper with about 1/8 the amount of videos. Seems like a nice YouTube check is in his future.

number 1 reason trooper vlogs is because he has no friends or life...its an outlet

Maybe there is a more personal reason he does not playtables games anymore. He sure does seem to know all the rules to the games.

Truth stings don't it, this thread is full of useless advice yours included I'm just doing my part mute me rather than respond with irate idiocy over nothing.

Nice work surf

Wonder if Trooper actually sees that on paper he might sort his **** out

Wasn't he up $3.5k from the 100 hrs challenge? I'm sure his total number for 2016 is only slightly negative.

Your made-up math is off. Way off.

^ Trooper is not, and will not change.

in trooper's mind, he is a winning poker player being negatively affected by variance

This post sums up the one sided stupidity in this thread.

^ atta boy surf, don't stop until ....

Surf, since you appear to be troopers #1 fan, can you go back and count how much trooper has received in starbucks cards?

Thanks

He did buy a mattress with that money. Who knows what other things he bought which would have been worthwhile to keep.



Well let me tell something, BROTHER!!! Right now you're not just attacking the Trooper, you're attacking the millions of Troopaholics from all around the globe that aspire to be just like the Trooper. Whatcha gonna do when TrooperMania and the Trooper Army runs wild on you?!?!

Including promos think he was up like 5k right? If he's negative for the year I'm actually surprised. I thought he would be slightly up. Either way, breakevenish.
