I could be wrong though.
Andrew stopped posting here almost a year ago so he probably had a low opinion of the thread before he looked at it today. I thought he meant the thread overall was too negative because he probably likes Trooper and doesn’t like to see all the criticism of him.

True, Trooper is barely at the poverty level so the IRS isn't going to care. Better question is how about people making profits off of bitcoin. Are they paying taxes?

I am wondering if they did that because Andrew or Brad have a Vlogger game there Thursday?
You don't want to play in Andrew/Brad's game?

Yeah, but was wondering if they have a game there tomorrow (I was just guessing they did and kicked Troopers game out). I can't find any information googling it or going to Westgate's ****ty poker room website.

Like it or not, vloggers have become mini-celebrities.

They want all of the good that comes along with the fame, ie. the manies, but none of the bad.

Well, life doesn't work that way, son.

If you do truly want to nuke this entire thread, then all I can say is don't bite the hand that feeds you..

From what I can gather, the next Brandrew game is the 20th.

Agree this thread should be nuked.

Simpletons like Stu Ungar try to explain away their lack of human decency by saying "He's a celebrity, he deserves anything he gets." Somehow, they think it's only common sense that you should sh*t on somebody daily since they're in the public eye.

Everybody knows when you dislike something, you're supposed to spend every waking hour obsessing/posting about it. How could Andrew just walk away and ignore it?

Don't post your shopify account page on social media. It's not a smart thing to do.

No idea what Neeme posted as he deleted it. Must've not been proud of what he wrote. Another non smart thing to do.

No he didn't delete anything. LUL

He basically did a retweet of the post he quoted.

I suggest you take a Reading Comprehension 101 class at your local Community College and then get back to me.

You are without a doubt the biggest Tool in this thread..

Oh i see. He retweeted and added a period. Usually that indicates a deleted post.

Thanks for adding valuable content to the thread AN. Hope you bring up that 2p2 is a cesspool in your normally positive videograms.

Is it just me or does a lot of strange and uncommon things happen to Bike King.
1. Says he moves to Vegas with 20k from inheritance and then in another vlog says he won an online tournament to get the 20k.
2. Says he has doubled the money in his first year but is maybe break even or slight loser in the videos he posts overall.
3. Wins a 5k trip from a poker pro who wants remain “nameless” but BK responded to a post the guy made to win the seat. So he posts a giveaway but wants to remain nameless?
4. Has won and banked over 20k and doubled his roll but decides to be homeless.
5. The story about his friend not wanting him to live there anymore because he randomly gets sent overseas.
6. Gets all of his money taken out of his account because someone stole his identity. They didn’t do anything else like most thieves do but steal the exact amount he had in his account and his bank let’s these large withdrawals go through and then just say sorry.
7. Posts a video about the money being gone but doesn’t seem angry or emotional like any normal person would be about it just simply says it doesn’t look good.

I’m not saying any of these things don’t happen, just seems odd all would happen in the same year to the same person.

The better question, is why do I care? I dunno but oddly I do

1. The post was referring to this thread, not 2+2 in general.

2. Videograms?

3. So positive people should never make comments about negative things?

Sociopaths are aplenty in poker. The really smart ones come off very likeable in most cases.

I have been modding this thread and the former vlogger thread pretty much since it was started. There has been some good posting but there has also been some terrible stuff. Some of the posting got so bad that the original thread was closed. After some discussion we decided to give the vlogger thread another chance with the original thread staying closed and this current one being started. Details on this can be found in the ATF thread.

For this "second" thread I have tried to follow the rules set in the OP and as a result I have banned several accounts and deleted a lot of inappropriate posts and the type of posts that resulted in the closing of the original vlogger thread.

Both threads as of today have had over 35,000 posts and five million views. This thread has been better than the original one but I have spent a lot of time moderating the thread and, needless to say, at times, it's been a bit of a challenge dealing with it and some of the posters. Let's face it, at times it has become ridiculous.

I and all the current mods of LVL are going to continue to mod this thread but it's time to add some additional experience. I have had some discussions with 27offsuit and he is now going to participate as a mod in the thread. He will give us some assistance in keeping things on track and changing the focus a bit so it doesn't get bad enough again to result in its closure.

They have to be at work by a certain time and hate their job, and to them a trip to Vegas to play poker and do what they want at all hours of the day is a vacation. They see Trooper having that freedom every day and it inspires them to see a guy living that way. Trooper also doesn’t have extra responsibilities with marriage/kids that a lot of people have. He does what he wants.

Of course playing poker in Vegas all the time is not glamorous, but people don’t all see it that way.
This is excellent analysis and I think that's part of the reason I personally enjoy all the Vegas vlogs.

With the IRS talk, Trooper would have to pay social security tax and medicare on everything he earns (i believe over 300). I have to do the same with my extra income.

I think with Andrew Neeme, he's a great guy with high integrity and probably is just turned off by any negativity. Criticizing Trooper is fine but I think the Go Gamble really is an awesome brand and he deserves massive credit for what he's built.

Thanks for volunteer work you do for providing meals to the homeless in Las Vegas.

That was nice Christmas present to the OG. I'm fan of your work (vlogs and art).

I have said this before but Tim is lucky to have a you as a friend in Vegas. I would definitely want that type of friendship if I was living in sin city. Keep doing what you do. Good Karma.

Also nice that Troop is promoting your art work. I'm definitely going to check it out. Thanks Troop

They all have major issues. Every single one of them.
Brad is fake and Andrew tries too hard to be something he’s not.

I used to be big fans of all of them. Now I’d rather watch soap opera re runs.

The newness has definitely worn off of ALL the vloggers..more of some than others.

I 'fast forward' pretty much everyone's vlogs now, with the exception of Boski's tournament vlogs. Those are still the best of the best, IMO.

I do like Brad's, Andrew's and Jaman's, but I rarely watch any of them in their entirety, anymore. I can do a 20 minute vlog in about 5-7 minutes now.

I unsubscribed from Trooper's last week. Each vlog felt more and more like a commercial for his wares. He rarely has any that are worth watching anymore. I'd rather re-watch his old classics such as the Austria trip and Trooper Across America, than the new drivel he cranks out each day.

Good for him that he remains popular with a certain subset of the population..and he is able to make a living doing what he loves..

Looks like I inflammed some people with my comments, for the record I was kidding regarding reporting trooper (or any other vlogger) to the IRS, was hoping to keep people from trying to do that by saying they didn’t get back witb me. No need to waste troop’s precious time with an audit or more importantly the Service’s resources recovering the potential lost revenue. Plus I hate snitches. I stand by my statement that I hope whoever called me pathetic gets AIDS and my life is better than his, hers, or its life.
