In his previous video Trooper said Kelli doesn't even watch his vlogs. Is that a red flag? I can't decide if it's a good thing or if it would be better for him to "date" a fan who already knows a lot of his flaws and accepts him just the way he is.

Watching Jaman's vlog "Random women, poker and arrogance" and at the 12:30 mark he is talking about leaving and he says "I have responsibilities and I have work in the morning"

LOL almost prophetic

Not everyone has the same level of ambition. Trooper is okay with just getting by and enjoying life in his own way, and there's nothing wrong with that. He does seem happier when he is accomplishing more though. And the lack of integrity with the bet was bad, but that was a long time ago and it's time to forgive and forget.

There are many other YouTube channels for that and it would only drive away a large percentage of Trooper's current audience.

Trooper has constantly talked about building something, and taking over vegas, and of course changing the poker vlogging game.

He of course has dreams, just too lazy to work for it. He is just waiting for that bad beat jackpot to hit, and then he is good to go for another few years

That's OMC territory. Trooper already does critique the food he eats. The problem with Trooper being a critic is no one wants to listen to a critic with no power or authority. The only thing he could authoritatively critique is Vegas poker rooms. But it would be great if he traveled to different poker rooms around the U.S. and the world critiquing a set list of variables. The Vegas guru Wizard of Odds has done that a few times with casinos in his blog.

Everyone loves and hates different things about Trooper. I hate it when he offends people, complains about stupid things, or spends too long complaining, but a short honest review is okay.

I think his strengths are:

1. Vegas scenes/photography/editing/music skills
2. BSing like he is talking to a friend (creating a ten-minute vlog about nothing, à la Seinfeld)
3. Sharing his honest wins and losses, struggles, thoughts and feelings as if you are watching a private video journal

Good points but I'm sure in his eyes doing almost 900 vlogs in the past few years counts as working towards some undefined vague dream of being famous or something. I see it as a likely futile but still fun endeavor similar to competing in gaming competitions and live streaming on Twitch for donations. It's a fun way to just get by.

It really seems racist that he was accused of being a bad father because he plays poker but none of the other vloggers with kids have been treated that way. I think the person who wrote that must be a hater of his in real life. Like was that his ex? Many dads work two jobs and work long hours to provide for their families; how is Jaman playing poker (and winning) different from that?

As for Trooper I don't know if he has a child he doesn't acknowledge but if he did and had guilt from it and didn't want to pay child support that would certainly explain a lot about his life including the depression, low self-esteem, struggling at times for motivation, and not wanting a traditional job.

That's true and I realized collecting Beiber merch is not really any different than collecting Star Wars merch, or merch for a football team, etc.

I like Jeopardy

I like cats

Hey Kitty,

By the way, Jeff Boski was a total class act on the phone for coaching. He spent more than the allotted time with me and was very insightful. His advice was spot on. My pre-flop hand selection was hurting me...I tightened up as he suggested and was doing great. After an hour or so, I loosened up, lost a big pot with a King high flush (2nd nuts) but then regrouped and had a successful night. I've never even considered coaching before, but now I'm thinking I'd pay for another 15 min. If it does nothing more than reiterate what I already know, and puts it in the forefront of my mind, it's worth it. Especially when it's coming from someone whose play I respect.

What really bothers me about Jaman is that Drawing Dead ****... Is not original and its not funny...

Since it looks like he lives alone: probably means he's divorced

does he just leave her home alone?: in order for a child to be born, a male and a female must engage in a dance, with no clothes... thus requiring two people to be involved.. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that these are the times that his daughter is with her mother..

either that or he just leaves her with a bunch of food to last a week when he goes to vegas or other places to play cards.. like a hamster.

2 weeks away until Trooper and Kelly will pop some corn and watch Heat on a late Sunday afternoon..

Given this year's match up this is not all that bad...lol
Just remember to eat your takeout on a dirty towel on the floor.

It’s not a good matchup considering it’s philly vs NE+refs.

Plus we got Blount and Long over there to sabatoge if needed

i used to think Troopers political beliefs were not very PC and more similar to mine because he doesnt seem to like weed much either, but then again, no true conversative would ever consider supporting starbucks, only the most far left of the snowflakes.

Those are his likes and dislikes (starbucks coffee & weed). They are not his political beliefs.

Thanks for the kind words Josie. I am glad you had a winning PLO session after our chat. Stay selective and aggressive!

So you are saying that 'likes/dislikes' are mutually exclusive to political views.

I'm listening

Not many true conservatives support gambling for a living either.

While I could see the argument of watching sports being a waste of time, I still think one of the funniest moments of the vlog was the look on Molly's face when Trooper says he's serious that they won't be watching the Super Bowl but instead some random movie from the 80's/90's. I honestly think that was the beginning of the end of that relationship.

She knew he was an odd ball from day one (heck, she had to take him furniture shopping to start the relationship) but that's when she realized that he's completely in his own world and is oblivious to the fact that there are other people and events happening around him.

Because of him, she missed the greatest Super Bowl comeback ever. And the icing on the cake is that he probably still doesn't get it even after he put it in his vlog and dozens of people commented on it.

Trooper must see his daily vlogs as some sort of accomplishment because that is really all he has right now. If he considered his vlogs a waste of time, he would literally be admitting that he pissed away the last 4 years of his life.

To the vlogs' credit, they are the reason he has a roof over his head and food on the table. So worst case, the vlogs are just his job. But, that would run contrary to his main mission in life of not working and doing what he wants. Also, if the vlogs are his job, all he does is work which further conflicts with his life philosophy of never working.

Does Trooper have any hobbies? Does he consider poker a hobby even though he says he doesn't like it anymore? What does he do when he's not delivering hats or vlogging? Seems like he's missing the fun part of life.

LOL rigged football chatter in a rigged thread...irony gonna irony
