It isn't that much of a stretch that the same guy could be backing him in NL..
His friends back him in that game because they enjoy his company and it's worth it to them to risk a few bucks that they themselves could win some of anyway and get to spend time playing some cards with their friend. It's a huge stretch to assume they would back him in NL when they aren't in town or playing with him. How could that not be obvious to you?

When you consider they have a history of colluding together in SNG's, it isn't a stretch at all..

Trooper just made me belly laugh when he posted his total for the day

Good thing he doesn't care about the money

The weight loss is already visible in Trooper's cheeks and chin. Got to give him props for sticking with the diet so far.

Someone posted that he has lost $348 per pound of weight loss, since he started his diet.

Expensive diet

I keep seeing a sign around town about making 10k dealing the WSOP, Would be a good boost for Trooper and only 5 or 6 weeks.

Looks like he lost the acorns..people who count every calorie are not long for a diet..first ten pounds is all water weight

To be fair he did sell a hat

Especially since he doesn't play any of the events or can't afford to.

Andrew mentioned possibly moving down to 2-5 to get some confidence back. Maybe Trooper should do the same thing and move down to a lower level.

I was in this game where he lost $1100 on Tuesday and it was legit a terribly unlucky run for him.

I sat next to the Italian maniac and never talked to the trooper because I wanted to see if his vlog about the session would be truthful and it was from my recollection.

The 67 hand he describes from the maniac was accurate and it was sick to watch him say all in dark flop and presto flop trips.

Italian built up about 2500$ got felted, left came back a little later with another $1000 in black and blasted it off.

I left at 8am. Good to see that he reports it right.

However his table image is absolute **** as the only way he interacts with anyone is to be negative and does nothing to encourage the fish to be fish.

Grounded 6 year olds behave better than him.

i personally dont believe any of the stories about why he lives in his car, his bank hack, his apparent 6 fig job he could easily get or most of his hand histories where opponents always hit 2 outers.

Still enjoy watching him despite thinking he just a gambling addict living in his car
Saw him yesterday heading in to Harrah's from the parking garage as I was heading out he most certainly doesn't look 120 pounds at all I would say at least 140 makes more sense he's taller then me by an inch or to and didn't look like he was a twig at all.

1100 in 1/2...again? I've played 1/2 continuously for 3 years now and I do not know anyone who loses like that (twice in a week!) who isn't terrible. I'm sorry but good players don't lose like that at 1/2. The money you win isn't different from the money you don't lose. That's pretty basic. He's got to start buying in for the minimum. Heck, he can't drop down from 1/2. It's actually depressing. I don't want to see Tim go broke. I really don't.

You should see the way Trooper responds to comments like this when they are from fans. He would either insult them or he would write something like LMAO or some other response to suggest he was laughing at the fan and that he thought the fan was an idiot.

He has a lot more respect for people that believe he runs worse than anyone.

However I’m not sure I buy the idea that tables break when he leaves because others think he is a huge fish. I haven’t seen him during one of his huge losing days but he actually is a lot better than a lot of the other 1-2 NL players (at least when I saw him play; guess it’s possible I saw him when he was on his A game though).

Why are you referring to the LAG player as "the Italian"? I noticed it on the vlog too. What does his nationality matter?

Do you mean under the tables looking for the spare change?

At least that would be steady money for Trooper and he can't lose, unless security boots him.

How on earth is it possible to punt off such huge amounts at these stakes over and over. Id figure even the worst players wouldn't lose as much or as regularly as Trooper.

He never ever loses because of bad play either. Its always bad luck.

Where would he be if he had accepted those poker lessons a few years back ITT?

Honestly can not understand why he wants to keep playing poker. How can he be enjoying it?

Is anyone still keeping track of his win/loss this year?

I would put a rough estimate I'd say he's down-2500 to -3,000 yet once again just after he ran on that heater right back to not having that boosted board but maybe he's waiting till he's up 2,500 so he can get brakes on it so he can stop on that big hill!

Mindblowing at how delusional he is.
You know what like what a few people are speculating that these losses are a figment it's plausible it is tax time over/under 2 years since his last filing of tax time?

I noticed this too. He has zero interest in helping the fish have a good time. Had a friendly fish that didn’t care about the money in a game I played with him, and Trooper only cared about his ego and would get angry losing a pot to that guy. There was zero effort by Trooper to get the guy to stay or have a good time, and he even berated the fish and suggested the fish was an idiot because he didn’t take the game seriously enough. And we were playing the super high stakes of 1-3 NL.

He talks about most things that he does, for him to file taxes on poker and his hat business would take some time(many hours) to get it all the numbers together(assuming he keeps records) and you would hear him mention it in a video like:

Didn't post a video yesterday was busy all day with taxes, or finally got my taxes down, etc.
