Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

Love how diesel is above inflation he’s really gonna grow his 1/2 roll while his enemies slowly die off from not being able to afford food due to rising costs

Who could've guessed the sharpest minds in investing and confectionary businesses would be found in 1/2 NL poker vloggers.

And Trooper claiming he was never interested in playing 5/10 NL. I guess his foray into 5/10 NL wasn't out of interest but instead a desire to see what color chips they use.

$5/month for 1 newsletter a month. I see there are already interested people.

Of course Hamster97 is claiming that kind of BS _after_ he has officially failed at poker and accepted his faith going into the selling lollipops business.

Not just that, he has completely stopped playing outside his own game for the past months because he cant beat the games and cant keep losing money due to ultimatium from Lady T and her family.

Altria stock is down 17.5% over the past 5 years versus the S&P500 index being up 80% over the same time period. Enjoy your 9.84% dividend.

I think Trooper quitting poker outside of the Westgate is twofold.

One, he was wasting his time playing since he's breakeven at best.

Two, making candy and keeping up with orders is extremely time consuming. It got to the point where Lady Trooper needed help.

You have to understand. For sharp entrepreneurs, they would have a system down to produce the candy in bulk as efficiently as possible. Then you have the Troopers.

You don't have to look any farther than how Trooper produced his vlogs. A 10 minute vlog that took the whole day to produce. No doubt, quality editing takes time but it shouldn't take as long as it does Trooper if you had a plan going in. It was literally the same story. Wake up, make coffee, maybe an errand, go to the Strip, video while walking to the poker room, play poker, results and some words of wisdom. Every single vlog.

At the startup I work for, we pay $50/month for an AI assisted editing tool that lets us crank out 50+ video variants of one long form video and turns it into various short form reels, shorts and "vlog style" clips and it takes 30-90 minutes tops.

The AI is so advanced that it nails the proper context when the discussion changes and organizes your clips for you with captions, titles, transitions, and post edit effects.

Why vloggers are still not using software like this baffles me.

Rice paying for that editing tool…lol

Even though it would pay “dividends” for his channel and potentially create new income streams.

Yeah, with his logic, if he didn't think of the idea it's a **** idea.

Lol someone climbed the Sphere this morning. Was it Bikeking so he can add world first Sphere climber to his Twitter bio?

fascinating. absolutely fascinating.

Dude details his number of trips to Wawa along with money spent at Wawa but no mention on how did as far as making money playing poker. I question if he’s even making the $14/hr on average he claims.

He really needs to go back to working part time at UPS, imo, and use poker as a side job.

I'll take way under 14 for 2023.

Rice had a bad 2023, I doubt he made over $7/hr for 2023.

And that's why he is loathe to address his figures for 2023, save for all the nonsense stats that he is always so proud of.

But the higher rake doesn’t affect his results.

Exactly!!! Inflation doesn’t affect rake, hotel prices, gas, food costs, car insurance rates, sardines, cigars, youtube revenue, rewards programs, gatorade, baseball games, etc….

Rice beating the system!

You can write covered calls against a growth index.

Higher premiums because of higher volatility.

When will LT tire from the 7-day week grind, and the last face she sees every night is a baby sea ready to be clubbed?

Trooper isn’t interested in playing 5-10. Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme aren’t interested in playing 1-3.

She would have to admit to everyone that she was wrong about him, the critics (maybe even in her family) were right, and that she wasted 6 years of her life with him.

She would be lonely and Trooper probably tries to make sure she doesn’t meet other guys, so she won’t have another guy to jump to.

Trooper has shown that he wants to be with her forever so there’s that.

The 5-10 regs playing with Trooper were stupid. He complained about some of the poker lingo they were using at the table and it probably made him feel like a fish.

Trooper wasn’t a fish at 1-3 in my opinion (at least back then) but he was at 5-10.

I wish his followers would pay for him to play some 5-10 sessions since they love giving money to him.

Even worse you have to sign up on his patreon page, so you have to join that too.

The best part about trooper foray into 2-5 and 5-10 besides him obviously being scared out of his mind and mentioning in like 20 times during the vlog, was him letting us in what he actually thinks with the quote "i shouldve already been playing 5-10 anyway, but lets not get into that". That line gives away his later denial now that he never wanted to play above 1-2.

Why would he do operation uptick if he didnt want to play higher stakes to begin with?

Also the handful of times he shot took at 2-5 only to drop back down a short time later, also tells the tale of him actually wanting to play higher stakes but not being able to for whatever reason.

I do think he will have his best year financially this year though

That 9.8% is every year. I will happily give up 17.5 to get that dividend.
