Well he never took the 15 minutes to book a room and he left Cherokee 2 to 3 hours late. So now he shows up in Baltimore after 10 pm at night and is forced to grab the first place he sees, which is grossly over priced because the Preakness weekend​ is happening. Lazy, poor, and no planning kills this guy's​ bankroll.
Good point. And he's staying downtown. He's clueless... and jinxed.

Geez... I thought I had pretty good credit but from the lolsample size of the thread I need to get my game up and get into those 800s.

If you have next of kin you might want to up your life insurance before doing this. I have a co-worker who used to be a Baltimore cop and there's parts of the city even he wouldn't visit.

Troop should do Philadelphia instead of AC. Nicer location and I'm guessing the action is better.

He's heading to NYC too. If he takes his time about it he can unintentionally be in the vicinity of all 3 triple crown races.

Wonder if he'll do Foxwoods. It's not crazy far from NYC and has to be one of the poker mecca spots.

This came up at a poker table last night and got me thinking. People were just joking that he's got no plan and he's at his peak now and just cruising but I'm curious where he wishes he was say 2 or 5 years from now? Where would he be today if he could change things magically?

Would it really be just the same sh*t but with more money? Does he have any other aspirations?
my question is what his plan is for 20-30 years from now. Many working people will have some money saved up and a paid off house, which, when added to social security, is a pretty comfortable retirement.

Obv troop is nowhere close to a house or significant savings, and I can't imagine his socsec benefits will be much, given his spotty employment history. He's already an OMC as it is, I shudder to imagine what he'll be like when he actually reaches OMC age.

I have a hunch ... unless Trooper wins at his next stop, his swing North will end and he will hightail it back to Casa del Trooper.

I was hoping Trooper would make it to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, I think that is doubtful now.

At least he likely already paid June 1st rent being that he didn't know if he would be back in time. July rent won't be paid. Casa del Trooper will be done.

PokerKraut's video is hilarious and the content is great! I remember him featuring his friend "Prinz" from earlier and his amazing car. The staking proposition is pretty cool and I think it is just a way for him to give Kraut some motivation to jump up in stakes. It's only for one session and it seems like the guy can swing the $1K so very nice of him.

This really shows how well liked Kevin is and that he has REAL friends who believe in him.

I can't wait to see the next vlog with the $2/5nl session. I really hope Kevin runs hot, pockets a good amount of profit, and maybe takes a few more shots at $2/5nl after this.

What an awesome cliff hanger!

But the thumbnail of this video needs some work. Great title though!

i don't think there is any possible universe where if Trooper were given a $1k stake that he would even have half a second of hesitation in taking it.

It's called integrity. Remember the weight loss challenge?

If Trooper loses in Atlantic City, absolutely.

I have a strong hunch, win or lose in Atlantic City, he is heading west, with godspeed, back to Casa del Trooper.

I'm surprised Trooper fans don't stake him in a WSOP event.

It's real short money for a wealthy Trooperette to put Trooper into a low dollar event.

Instead, Trooper gets Coffee Mugs

Trooper is still up from poker but minus expenses he is down about $500-$600 for the trip so far

If you have a 750 score you will still be approved for 98% of credit applications that someone with an 850 score would get approved for. No point in obsessing about it IMO.

Maybe not sucking so much as maybe trending down a Pooper-esque line of producing a vlog that lacks creativity, as a result of lazy er whatev?

I don't understand why Trooper was freaking out so badly about losing $900 at 1/3 lol. I thought he was a 2/5 player now. Oh no, a 3 buy in downswing, the horror..wtf is this real life?

Does anyone else notice Trooper's big losses are always at really good games ?

Did he say that was a good game? I know he said it was less action than at the Horseshoe the night before. That's generally true in my opinion. MDL has the nittiest games in the area, Horseshoe is better and MGM (which Trooper missed) is action city.

He plays like an aggro fish when he is in a good game, that's why he usually torches money in dem good games. You can't bluff fish, duh.

He is freaking out because his bankroll is probably under 2k and he has lots of bills piling up. The end times are near.
