There is a long list, but specifically in this instance, how old he is.

I wonder if RK knows Trooper in real life? That would explain how he knows Trooper's supposed age and why he has this deep-seated emotional hatred to his lifestyle. Or perhaps it's because Trooper is flouting social norms which is triggering that response from him.

Trooper is a single table satellite aficionado and winner, but never bothers to play them.

Makes sense

I doubt it. It doesn't take much to hate the Trooper. Didn't he get the age wrong? Previous posts were saying 43, but it is my belief that Trooper is in fact 44.

Has he ever celebrated a birthday in the vlog? Having the date would be nice. We could throw some sort of party for him ITT.

And I'll give Trooper this...he drove across country to see his mom for Mother's Day...which I thought was an understated part of TAA that I liked.


Actually if I recall correctly he went about planning and starting the trip then realized in Missouri or Indiana that Mother's Day was coming up in a week or so and headed toward G-Vegas

The way I remember it, He announced plans for TAA and included going to see his mother on Mothers Day. Very shortly after someone posted that she posted something about going on a sudden trip/vacation.

So she might not have even been there, even tho Trooper said he went there.

I do remember someone joking about Troopers mom going to Cleveland to visit Delonte West but I thought that was just a joke and in reference to LeBron's mom hooking up w/ West before he was a homeless junkie. I also thought this happened mid-trip but I honestly wasn't paying that good of attention so I'm probably wrong

I used to skip class with Delonte West and a few other friends in high school to eat Wendys and perv on sorority girls over at University of Maryland which was like 5 mins away. Good times.

Pretty sure Trooper's main reason to hit the road was to visit his Mom and he intentionally timed it for Mother's Day. And yeah her going out of town was a joke.

In the first vlog where he announces TAA he mentions spending 3 nights with his mom.

lol I didn't even know I had corrected you before, sorry.

I figured there are a million reasons to criticize Trooper, but him making the effort to go see his mom should be applauded.

Hell. Yes.

But, at the same time, he's got some mental issues that I hate to laugh at.

Is trooper being ******ed for publically talking about profit splits and how him and Harry have to be at the same table in a STT Sat? Asking for a friend.

I guess I'll join back onto the hater bandwagon. The collusion he's doing with his buddy is sleezy as ****.

While I'm sure they probably are soft playing against each other, and there is something a little shady about only wanting to play in these sngs together, there isn't any proof that they are actually colluding in these games. It is however, more than a little suspicious. It strikes me as odd that Trooper would be so oblivious to this that he included it in his vlog. Makes me think either they aren't colluding.... or they are and Trooper sees nothing wrong with it. I do wonder how his brain is wired at times.

His editing this year has frankly been pretty appalling

Collusion fits the pattern of his poker behavior. If he was a serious poker player who really studied the game and wanted to make a career of it and regularly played SNGs then I could give him the benefit of the doubt. Like if Neeme had a hometown buddy come to Vegas and they played together in an SNG, I wouldn't bat an eye. But Trooper is lazy, doesn't study or talk strategy, and never plays SNGs except with his friend ("We used to play single table satellites together all the time," it says in the video description.)

Seems like they used to collude in these SNGs and did it again at the Rio. I think the reason he's being so brazen about it on his vlog is that he doesn't care that it's ****ing cheating. Speaks a lot about his character.

I haven't watched the Trooper video people are referring to...but if you are going to split pieces with someone in an SNG (something which I believe is very common, whether it is a good thing or not), it seems much better to do publicly than secretly.
