Trooper, how many salads do you think you have eaten your entire life? I have an over/under bet with a buddy of mine. Please tell me that it is under 25.

Alright. Which one of you goons posted this on Trooper's YouTube comments?

Nice hand, Sir. Well played.

When I was working a lot over the week, and could only play on weekends, a 12+ hour session was considered normal.Sometimes I would start 10ish or 11sh Saturday and catch the Friday night hotel guests waking up and knew it was time to rack up and go home when I noticed the Sr. Citizens starting to roll in for the Sunday morning breakfast buffet. Laze around the house the rest

Yeah but surely you spent every penny you made and weren’t able to save a massive $2K like the Rice man.


I’m not sure what’s more unbelievable/disturbing - all the Trooper/ELD videos or the fact that they actually have fans. The comment sections are just … something else.


ELD reports that Ballys, Paris, and PH are the same CET pod but that he is allowed to play poker at Caesars Palace to get tier points and to stay at Harrah's for Nomadic hotels.

ELD states that there is a one hour prior to or after the shift wherein the EDR is allowed and he is not allowed to bring guests to the EDR.

Rice will abuse the hell out of that free food room as it is,imagine with no guard rails.

The one time he played 5/10 he complained about some guys at the table talking too much strategy which might have made him uncomfortable. Combine that with the loss and he never played in the game again.

I would have left if I heard a player mention “solvers” instantly.


I'd bet dollars to donuts that Rice was angling to bring one of his former classmates to the EDR as a way to repay free dinners at Council Bluffs

Too bad the bean counters at CET bar practicing lawyers not on their payroll from eating at the EDR, I imagine a vlog about such would smash El D's YT viewing records

I played a lot of 5/10 nl in Vegas from 2011 or so until 2017.

The Bellagio 5/10 regs were the most intolerable pompous regs I've ever seen.

The weird thing is at the time at least Wynn Aria Venitian and B would get 5/10 (ventian probably not this entire time period.) Everyone has a room preference but I wouldn't ever see the Bellagio regs in any of the other rooms. It was just bizarre. It's like they took pride in saying they played at Bellagio.

Sure Aria for example had 5/10 regs but you'd still occasionally see them in the other 3 rooms.

I still remember the guy in particular giving a ten minute dissertation on why Q10 offsuit is a bad hand at a table with 3 or 4 randoms wearing convention badges. Just total clown ****.

Trooper sucks at poker and he's delusional but I can see why he didn't like the atmosphere at B.

And to top it off, back then the B floor would treat you like **** if you weren't a reg there and were also super shady with their rulings

ELD reported employees can only eat at the EDR where they worked, between 1 hour prior through 1 hour past their shift, or on break during their shift as time permits.

Rice said The Orleans offers an undisclosed cash bounty for employees if they turn in a non employee accessing the EDR. There are no security controls to access the Caesars EDRs, but one would need to be knowledgeable to know how to navigate where the EDR is located.

Rice stated the 4th of July BBQ was the best EDR meal he has had to date. Viewers may note he also gushed about the free 4th of July BBQ he received in California as a player in 2023.

More importantly, he discussed future eligibility for CET health insurance. He stated there are two eligibility windows, one must work 30+ hours / week to qualify, and he needs to set up a meeting with HR after the WSOP to get more clarification. So it sounds like he may have plans to work significant hours post WSOP if work is available.

This would mean he doesn’t have current health insurance, or if he does, CET employee insurance may be preferable and or cheaper than his current coverage.


If CET doesn't already have a 1 trip to the EDR per shift rule, they sure will after El D starts chowing down 2 or 3 times a day.

Well, that kills date night!

They might change it to once a week after him.

When I've check bravo at night PH and Caesars barely have any tables running so not sure if these rooms will last long after wsop.



Did he say how much he lost? I must have missed it. At least 2 buy ins, which for him would be $400.


Devastated he can't spell devastating.

As usual, he said the "game was good"


He's broken.

"I want to play in this freeroll tournament but I keep getting destroyed, do I just sit and fold for 15 hours"

whatever confidence he had has been nuked these past 2 sessions, along with nearly 1k

Yes, LDV should log this as a $400 loss. Plus, I didn't see an update from yesterday's vlog for over $400.


Latist Trooper Resolts:

-400

2025: +75

Just going to have to assume for this one, he didnt say anything

Bellagio confirmed worst place to play of the big 3 rooms


by BilldaCat

"I want to play in this freeroll tournament but I keep getting destroyed, do I just sit and fold for 15 hours"

Obvious solution is to grind the rest of the hours at 4/8 LHE where he can chase straight flushes without having to put his whole stack in.

But trooper has too much pride to humble himself in a white chip game; plus it’s tougher to chase losses $8 at a time



This is his graph playing 1-2/1-3

He is up 1,908 since early 2017, which is that second peak on the graph, first one to around 15k then dip then shoots up to 20k then break even forever.

The delusion to think he would ever grind 12 hours a day playing poker is something that rivals el diesels greatest hits


Does Pman not know why phones wouldn’t be allowed the final three tables of a tourney? Did we not just have a huge kerfuffle at the WSOP main with Tamayo running sims constantly?

Maybe unfettered communications from your phone is not wanted?

Also lol at planning ahead like he’s gonna reach the final three tables of an open event.

What’s their policy on to go containers??


Why do I feel like El D may single-handedly lead to EDRs closing altogether at Caesar's properties


Wow so the first hand history from Trooper is a straddled pot.

He raised to $21 with JJ and only straddler calls.

Flop king, turn king and he says how it all went down and blah blah blah cause it's not a poker vlog and giving info on how the hand went down is boring, he got stacked by KJ.

Second hand, he played 54 suited, flopped a straight flush draw and got it in but lost to bigger flush draw. LOL. When you are short buying, you don't want to play speculative hands cause you aren't gonna get paid big.
