Hourlies are used to gauge yourself as a winning poker player but fact is you could have a losing month this month and then run three times expectations the next month.

Yeah of course I know that. I could probably have worded my question better. Basically I was looking for his hourly x his average weekly hours.

Trooper-this is the second time I have caused a little derail in here-my sincere apologies, I wont let it happen again

You my friend have exhibited a critical and arrogant attitude which typically reflects an inferiority complex. Prob critical of others to make yourself feel superior, sound familiar? Also sending detachable pecker music clips?, Isnt this the same guy who was critical of camel toe?; appears a bit hypocritical and pervish. You are correct to chill.

Regardless, your point doesn't make sense anyways. Poker is constantly evolving and it's not uncommon to see player's winrates decrease from one year to the next. That doesn't mean they aren't winning players though. Your winrate could be increasing by 10% per year and mine could be decreasing by 10% per year and I could still be making more than you.

He should have said your cash flow needs to be increasing at least the inflation rate. It is good advice which applies to any other business.

No.

If a company is posting profits YOY; let's say $500/year to keep it simple, for 3 straight years, yes they may not be beating inflation, but profits are still positive. Calling a steady positive hourly rate "losing," in small sample set, is just asinine and sounds like its coming from a person who's hating on the fact that Trooper is taking a shot and is doing well.

Tell me more about how a crusher making $60/hr at $2/5 over the past 3 years is a losing player.

Hey troop - when you film yourself parking, do you really get out and prop your phone up somewhere then get back into your car and park?

I knew that was an earthquake but I lived in California when I was younger and felt several of them there, including a couple that were much bigger. This one was small and maybe only worth some attention because Vegas doesn't have that many earthquakes.

Troop, that stuff you eat would effect my concentration at the tables. I'll tell you that much. I couldn't/wouldn't avoid that food if I was there either, but maybe keep it for post-session?

I saw Lucille's and I thought that might be a BB King nod, but I guess it's not his chain.

I'm a few videos late but happy you got your last loss back. You'll get this one back too.

Hey Trooper, whaddduuuuuuup?!

Been lurkin a bit, still have a bunch of vids to catch up on but just watched the last one... good stuff man! A little bit of comedy mixed in with some seriousness, about the perfect combination of how to get through life imo. Just wanted to wish ya best of luck with the endeavors here in Vegas, and I'm sure its just a matter of time before I run into you at the tables.

PS: The parking comments in general were spot on based on the same thing I experience all the time, made me pretty much LOL!
