Trooper97 vlogs, discussions etc. will be allowed to continue in the new thread. That thread will not be unchained and I will work with the other LVL mods to keep it civil.

I personally am not going to allow a lot of the horrible posting that went on in the original thread to take place and I will be very generous with post deletions and bans if needed.

Posts the are overly derogatory, mean spirited, name calling (including using rude derivatives of names) , and demeaning posts towards any of the vloggers or posters in the thread will be deleted at the mods discretion. If any accounts persistently do this they will be banned or exiled from posting in this thread. In these cases we may issue a warning first.

Accounts that are used only to or substantially to troll post in this thread will be banned.

No personal family information or situations allowed in the thread.

********************
OK Vlogger Thread, we are going with some new parameters to try to make this the POSITIVE vlogger thread that it is supposed to be, not the AIDS vlogger thread where a few loonies ruin it for the rest. Note that 'positive' does not equal 'only positive', it means anything negative being said CAN'T be namecalling or wild, unsubstantiated speculation regarding any and all vloggers. Personal lives and anything aside from poker is OFF THE TABLE.

that's kinda my point. there are a lot of people who just quietly grind cash games, print money and don't draw attention to themselves.

Ikr, where’s the Pat Walsh and Borg23 content?!

Diesel is also looking thin, couple Excalibur gym smith machine squats wind stair sprints with the most flamboyant gay guys in the work out room have done him well.

I tried Westgate last week on non Trooper day for the first time, very annoying and odd group of people, left after 30 minutes.

You mean poker players as a group aren't generally

1. "very annoying", and

2. an "odd group of people" ?

But it differs greatly by room.

Horseshoe/Ballys-nits and promo sluts
Bellagio-touristy tight
Aria-wannabes
Westgate-Island of misfit toys
Wynn-real poker
Orleans-different and dirty
Etc….

It was Butterfly Symmetry. He still has a popular thread on 2+2.

Butterfly Symmetry is still going at it on his thread in poker blogs here. He’s won more in a couple years than Diesel’s entire career and more than Pman ever will. Read his thread, he is so mentally ill and addicted to gambling it isn’t funny but he is still able to have everything Pman and Diesel don’t: a wife, kids, houses he constantly sells with tennis courts in the backyard, and he’s in better shape than both of them put together due to all the landscaping.

Pman, what are you waiting for? Take 5gs of psilocybin and lay in bed with your eyes closed until you come back to this planet and you’ll be all ready for WSOP and 1/3nl. No need for a backer.


Rampage is the most ungrateful, whinest vlogger in the space right now. The nonstop complaining on social is super immature and I'm sure it pushes away any potential sponsors and recs who might purchase merch or use his deposit code.


by ChipsOmNom k

Brad Owen’s vlogs are too long. Does anyone agree?

Yes but feel like Neeme is much worse with constant 50 min+ vlogs at this point

Nah, he isn’t more ungrateful or whiny than any 2p2 sun runner ever was on here, remember Stevebets lolol. Actually, he is what more vloggers should aspire to. He wins a bunch of money playing atrocious, then immediately takes it to a loan shark to put that money to “work” and then the fake loan shark scams him lol. He makes money off of a shady poker site ala Full Tilt and he has his girl punt money on that lucky lady public access livestream for no reason whatsoever.

I don't watch anything with the title:

"I have pocket aces."

"Biggest pot of the year."

"I had quads......."

"I risk EVERYTHING..."


Is Rice playing the EE donkfest?

Will they let him if he quits/gets fired after his first day?


Troop can't free-roll the ME.

He has flies to chase away in 110 degree at the farmers' markets.


I just watched a few MTM Vegas videos, and they mentioned that the Caesars 4 free drinks benefit was taken away from < 1000 people. If that's true, maybe it really was Diesel's fault.

Can confirm that at least 4 of these assessments are spot on.

Venetian - misfit toys with money
MGM - drunk ultra touristy homegame
Nugget - vegas bum hunters trying to pass as tourist

Of course it's true. Diesel may be the smartest poker player in Vegas, but he's not smarter than skynet. The algorithm got him.


by MyrnaFTW k

margins huge on alcohol. would not surprise me if cost of milkshake > cost of most alcoholic drinks.

by DrDownLow k

Mid tier alcoholic drinks cost a proprietor about 2 to 3$ a piece. So, no.

I doubt interdepartmental billing works that way. They buy the materials to make a profit, plus they pay for labor costs, plus they have overhead that has to be paid for.


pman claims his parents never helped him while staying in a condo financed by his parents and also having his expenses paid for by them, he plays 12 hours of poker a week while being a losing player and wants us to believe he's self made.

He also hints that he is rich from crypto and yet can't afford to bankroll himself into tourneys.

Things don't add up here, I'm gonna call bs on his claims.

Pman is a nice guy but he's gotta stop bs'ing, and tbh saying you want to be a professional poker player and living in vegas and playing 12 hours a week is a joke lol


diesel is short in general but him wearing giant shorts that go down to his ankles make him look like a little person.

Yeah he probably gets his clothes from goodwill, so he can't be too picky on sizes/fittings.


Rampage made a 'foot in mouth' comment about WPT/Tournaments/Himself in one vlog .. so I'd say it's probably pretty locked in that they don't re-up his sponsorship. He did go on their cruise and put in his time there. He also went to Australia with WPT and turned it into quite the personal vacation .. Hopefully he can come back refreshed.

Both he and Mariano put themselves out there perhaps a little too much, but that is also what attracts viewers. Rampage is much more of an emotional roller coaster. It's like he and poker are in a volatile relationship and they keep coming back to each other after they argue.

Not sure what's up with Brad. WPT was helping with his vlogs for a short time. He's got the kid now. He's got the poker room now .. so he's going to evolve somehow. Not sure what you need these days with YouTube to earn the most from content. I had heard on one stream that it's more about the views than the Likes these days. I'm sure YouTube as a business is going to tweak it's formulas when they see mass amounts of revenue going to an 'exploit' in their system. If he's doing shorts I don't really see them .. Wolfgang says he's making bank on his shorts.

Neeme got dropped by WPT most likely .. he's just not as colorful as the newbies and is probably shirt-tailing Brad more than the other way around the last few years. Got to wonder how Doug, Brad and Neeme actually got together initially. Neeme might be doing a lot in the background, more so than any of us may think. GL

And if someone didn’t post his tweets in here, no one would talk about him. Like many vloggers, he puts out the image he thinks is best for him and that’s it. The fact that is stuffed with more contradictions than you can count is immaterial.

His runner up in the special olympics was his bink and he only had half of himself (which still boggles my mind - it’s a 500, not a 5K) and things went immediately back to the mean and that he requires backing to play this year is all you need to know about how his play is during the other 11 months of the year. But everyone here knew this would happen.

Also interesting how he says nothing in here for weeks but within minutes of someone posting a tweet of his or a comment, he’s in here until that dies down and then he disappears again.


that's not very nice and unnecessary

Looks like both have been dropped: https://www.worldpokertour.com/ambassado...

What's interesting is when I did a google search the results page had Neeme listed until I clicked on the actual link, and he was nowhere to be found, so it probably was a recent decision.

That would have comic potential.

I was just saying it cost less to make a typical alcoholic drink than a milkshake. These items are rung up as usual at the register then zeroed out to advertising and promotion which the full sale price goes on the income statement as an expense.
