They have look outs at both escalators, so if they see the cops then they grab the money and set up and are gone way before the cops can get to them.

I'm old enough to remember when there weren't any pedestrian overpasses.

Actually, today is my 38th wedding anniversary and the 38th anniversary of my first trip to Las Vegas. We spent our honeymoon at The Fabulous Flamingo (which was still pretty fabulous back then).

At first I thought the EggSlut sandwich was going to be the best sandwich in Vegas. They were closed, so he went to Giordano's and had a meat pie. Was the pie the best sandwich in Vegas?

Daaaaayaaaaam, I thought for a second Troop was going to finally get a groupie, and a very hot one at that. But of course her husband was there and she was just a fan. You could see Troop's eyes light up when she first called his name. He could barely hide his disappointment afterwards when he said her husband showed up.

Yes, I believe that was the best sandwich. Although it was odd because he mostly just complained about how long the wait was. Also, I think he puts titles like that because they are more likely to draw views.

It was nice to see Trooper playing 1/3 in one of the major poker rooms. I do have a prediction for 2017. Trooper will be playing 2/5 at least semi-regularly starting sometime in 2017. This is just a gut feeling, but if Trooper's subscriber/view counts keep going up he should have a lot more money to play with.

This particular vlog is actually in Foxwoods but the reason I'm posting it here is because at the end of his 2nd vlog he said the next time we'll see him he'll be in Vegas, so we should keep an eye out for his next vlog (plus some of you creepy Vegas guys might run into him at the poker room)

I couldn't help to think that ButterflySymmetry was firing shots at Andrew Neeme.

i have no clue about troopers sexual proclivities or prowess. DO YOU? (if so creepy)

Im doing an interview and i go where it takes me.

Another vlogger that said they got their inspiration from Andrew Neeme. Andrew made poker look cool.No poker players wants to be like the trooper. The games will probably be extra juicy in Vegas next year. Some of Andrew videos hit over 100 thousands already.

Or perhaps the games will be extra hard with every wannabe Andrew Neeme coming in to try to grind poker for a living.

I've seen the same crew in front of Caesars a few times and on the Harmon bridge. I find it fascinating to watch... it's like walking into a scene from that old school movie "The Sting"

There was a guy I met on BART that ran a shell game, I beat him for $2 and then quit when he wanted to raise the stakes, felt like a boss.

My opinion differs from the Troopers, whether you get hustled by the shell game team or the casino pit you are a sucker either way, it's foolish to do either.

The way you interact with the Trolls is heartening. You are a kind and benevolent god.

I highly doubt the games will be much different than they are currently.

Go ahead its a small site(massive compared to wsop.com), but they take bit coin which I do recommend using vs any other cashout method.

They've always had fast payouts I still have one of their debit cards and never had a issue. Post BF it had decent traffic, but the games dried up after about a year or two when they cut wayyy down on their guarantee tournaments.

The old schedule had R&A for a few hundred dollars every hour with 80 man fields. The best schedule were the O8 tourneys one was a $7-$650 guarantee that would have like 70 people.

Now the BI is double for way less money. The higher stakes tourneys still have tiny fields so I'd say they're better than blowing money in a live daily mtt.

For obvious reasons they kept reducing the the GTD to the point it wasn't worth playing anymore especially since there has never been heavy cash game traffic especially for PLO.

That being said any of the WPN skins is a better choice vs intertops for all formats

You all see that the PPC Aruba Trooper filmed was a scam and hasn't paid out the final table?

The chick Joan that was in his videos hasn't received anything and is suing the ppc owners

^^^Oh ish fwiw intertops doesn't run the tourney but damn I didn't realize it was the same tour, how scummy I wonder what their excuse was at the end of the day when they couldn't pay the winner in chips.

Probably some D-bag talking softly in a suit attempting to explain why they cant pay the day of. I would be so pissed I wouldn't even have the words.

I wonder if he will put out fewer videos if he starts making that much money.

Looking at her twitter account, Joan appears to be on good terms with Intertops still.

I don't think so. I think this "trooper is lazy" business is a bit overblown. Dude has proven that he can grind out these videos like no other poker vlogger. His main goals are to grow his channel and never have a real job again.

That being said, even as he grows the channel he will be on shaky grounds financially. Ie, it's likely he is still living largely off money he made last summer. It will be interesting to see if he gets a dealing job next summer...I would actually recommend this. Dealing 2 months out of the year can't be that bad can it?
