Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

He doesn't need to play at all now that he has a "permanent" home.

Our boy gonna go back full nomad when he gets an electric bill, no? Or blow up when roommate asks for his share?

ELD is an attorney he can stand his ground and the landlord will have to file an eviction against him under the court system.

Was thinking along the same lines. It will take an absurdly small detail that rubs him the wrong way-then he cant cope and will blow up.

Just like his brain was absolutely on full fire when he lost 160 bucks with AA at the famous Red Rock massacre. He blew up so hard that he ended up leaving Vegas for months due to that incident.

I think El Diesel mentioned not having to pay for utilities

How much of a heater has the Trooper97 actually had?

Sure, he has won some money, even some nice little scores...but from what I've seen, he wins like $35, $75 and even $300 once?

I'm sure there are wins that I am missing....BUT you've got to put gas in your tank, food in your belly and pay the rent.

I would think that perhaps the first few thousand in wins would go to pay bills, buy food and so on.

AFTER that, then he start to accumulate a bank roll. A bank roll of even $5k, could be gone through in a few days.

To really get off the ground and have a chance, I would think that the Trooper would need something like $20K or even more TO START WITH.

Maybe I'm wrong....but it must be VERY DIFFICULT if your bank is in low single thousands of dollars.

A very hard way to make an easy living!

^Trooper has said that he has explained all that stuff already.

Also, again in a recent tweet he wrote this:

He has a very rigid rubric for where he is willing to play. He wants easy work so he can just basically sit there and zone out without having to think or do anything. Specifically he wants to deal in a room where it is primarily low stakes No Limit Holdem and where he is guaranteed several shifts a week.

He doesn't like fixed limit games because the action is way too fast and requires him to do more work. He doesn't like split pot games or pot limit games because he doesn't like to have to use his brain to calculate the size of the pot for lazy players who can't do it themselves or to figure out low hands. In general he doesn't like dealing mixed games because it involves way too much work for not much extra money.

And finally he doesn't want to deal high stakes games unless he's guaranteed to earn much higher tips. His rubric mandates that if he is dealing a high stakes game his income should go up exponentially as the importance of him dealing a mistake free game is increased. I think it's more to do with his ego, he likes dealing low stakes games because he's making more than any player at the table. He wouldn't feel so great dealing a game where every pot is worth more than his weekly pay cheque.

BTDT, it isn't that hard to file for an eviction. It's hard to win an eviction if you're in a place like California though.

Spot on. Funny enough,thats the way he plays poker as well. He wants to sit there half a sleep/half awake folding 95 percent of hands like a robot,and then get his well deserved "paycheck" when he flops a set or gets dealt AA.

Yup he wants to sit smugly knowing he's making more than anyone else in the room, but he doesn't want to actually do any work or use his brain.

What's more, he's only fascinated with repeatedly counting his own money. He doesn't much care to waste precious brain power counting money going to people that aren't him.

The way it works for the room Rice is renting is a handshake agreement, probably month to month with no utilities. I have been in this position before. Part of it is so the landlord doesn't have to pay taxes on the income.

Rice doesn't want a lease because it allows the perception that he can become nomadic if he wants to.

ELD said with a smug smile that if PH poker room closes then he'll revert to being a nomadic mercenary of poker dealing.

He has mentioned several times about PH closing again.

Don't see it happening.

He is also on drugs if he believes he can just walk in to another room and get hired.

Of course he lives in his own twisted fantasyworld,or on drugs as you called it.

We are talking about a guy that is dead serious when he claims he is better at New York city driving than the worlds top elite racecar drivers.

Think Blue Poker returns after a long hiatus to get new teeth and fix his car. He had no money to play or deal in the 2025 WSOP. Steven will try to earn $10k over 500 hours through December, via $150 2/3 buyins and 3-5 hour sessions. He is also in a bar poker league and had one of the directors on to explain how it works (charity / donations, prizes are mainly trips to LV (Golden Nugget) or AC to play a league tournament).

Employment wise, he has returned to dealing 3-4 nights a week tournament poker he started dealing at Lucky Lady before he accepted the full time graveyard cash game position and quit. He prefers dealing tournaments, likely due to less stress and more sloth. He is also driving Uber that he hopes to quit at year end, and has sworn off degenerate pit gambling beyond his sports betting. Hope he does better with this goal than Trooper or PChild.

He states he has returned to daily vloging.

Vows to play 3-5 hour sessions. Starts with a 1 hour session.

So many unanswered questions from Think Blue such as what was wrong with his car and why it took four months to get it fixed. They have several do it yourself auto shops in Los Angeles wherein a Nomad can rent a lift for $25 per hour. They need to start some of the DIY auto shops in Las Vegas.

TBP is a degenerate and a fish,there is no way around it.

The chance of him running up a 10K+ bankroll from poker is pretty much zero,unless he manages to bink the heater of a lifetime.

Reason he didnt fix his car earlier is almost guaranteed because he was dead broke.

Don't forget the only reason he isn't a professional coach in the NFL is because of their silly insistence that he have experience at lower levels.

TBP actually has interesting vlogs, but he's 100% a fish

It's funny that he thinks he's a winning player when he's never been a winning player and is literally broke.

Everything with him is that he "thinks" he can do something and then not following through when he realizes reality is more difficult than just thinking you can do something.

He said they kept his car until he could pay. Also said he had no bankroll or ability to pay his first three weeks of living expenses in Vegas until after he received a few checks, so sounds like he has no or minimal credit and did the right thing staying at home and not going into debt playing poker or being disappointed in scheduled dealing hours during the WSOP.

Really should have never quit his FT job at Lucky Lady, as they told him he could return unofficially after dealing in the WSOP, and he would have had salary to pay for his teeth and have his car paid off sooner. He always bails much lower than his projected Uber or poker hours, and is thus always behind the eight ball with finances. Having and keeping a full time dealing job provides the work discipline he cannot manage as an independent contractor or poker player, which he should drop beyond say the bar league or perhaps a couple sessions a month.

I gave up Trooper months before this slots nonsense, and Diesel after he left his disgusting hair all over the bathroom floor, and later bragged about not tipping housekeeping because they are already paid to do the job. He also has a primarily tip paying job, and he comes off as douchebag ground zero when it comes to the wack pack with his attitude and scumbag cheap ass mooching and grifting ways.

My sister oversees housekeeping at a big resort in Florida. She says less than 10% of guests tip. And that guests are leaving rooms in much worse condition than years ago.

Depends on how much body hair they leave on the bathroom floor
