His winrate since starting the boosted board challenge is approximately $1/session. If we estimate he's playing 4 hours a session then he has an approximate winrate of $0.25 an hour. This should not be a surprise though. From March 26th 2015 through October 31st, 2016 he was down $2,012. That's a 19+ month losing streak.

That's not true though. There are still spots you should fold TT. Also, what are you going to say when he limps TT and it limps around and he then decides to get it all in on a King high flop and complains about how he lost TT vs KT?

It might be a therapeutic option for him at least.
It may be easy for you but that doesn't mean it is easy for him. Don't you remember when he open limped KQ and then got it all in preflop facing heavy action? Fact is Trooper open limps way too much (I say this as someone that actually incorporates open limps into my game). You all are trying to put a band-aid on a bullet wound. Trooper has tons of holes in his game and there is no quick fix for that.

This is what I advocated he do a few years ago. That's before we realized how bad of a player he was.
