Trooper is either crushing it or just really really struggling right?

If he was just treading water he would still be pumping out ordinary vlogs just for that extra little bit of money. No idea how active he is on twitter or insta?

He's non stop posting his hilariously idiotic takes and rants on twitter. He is by no means crushing, has he ever crushed at anything other than being an angry loud mouth?

Its true,the story doesent add up. Simple as that. If he had access to more rooms like kitchen or bathroom,he for sure would have shown the vlog based on the history we have on him.Same with all the weightroom visits:if Rice was actually there to work out he would go into great detail on absolutely everything. Like explaining the different exercises,how many reps he goes for,le

Yeah for absolute certain ELD is using the weight room shower facilities on a daily basis. This means that at his permanent address he has no access to a shower, or if he does it must be so disgusting that even he doesn't want to use it.

There's also something very weird about his room. The supposed French doors that have no handles or door knobs, and are totally covered up by curtains. And the way he said "this is the door to the living room" was just so weird it made me think why the hell would anyone say that.

Also whenever he films in there he always starts and ends the filming with him in the room. Never films himself walking in like he would always do at hotels and Airbnb's. It all just seems very carefully curated and rehearsed when he is filming in his room like he's hiding something.

Then there is the fact that he promised a cooking video and for the first time ever he decided not to show us the cooking process. We just get to see him eating the chicken hearts, of course in his little bunker. Even when he supposedly did laundry, all we saw is him dumping the washed items onto his bed, who knows where he actually did the wash.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is living in some storage unit that has been converted into a tiny little bunker but if it is a share house then we can safely assume that he has no access to anything else besides his room or if he does it must be so bad that he doesn't want to show it at all cost.

He did do laundry there once though - there was a brief shot of him doing wash that was not at a laundromat.

Which video was this? I recall him saying he did laundry and then dumping it onto his bed, but who knows where he actually did the wash?


2:03 Could be anywhere but doesn't look like a laundromat

Yeah I've never had to use a laundromat in recent memory so no clue how to tell from that very brief footage of just the machine itself. But he's sitting down and watching the clothes spin, no idea who would do that unless they were at a laundromat without anything else to do.

Just the fact that the laundry room isn't shown whatsoever though only solidifies what I already thought. He's going out of his way to imply misleading things which are not accurate but without lying outright. It's also interesting he always refers to it as the "permanent address" only adds to the mystery of what kind of makeshift dwelling he is residing in.


There is one essential Nomadic item which can save the day for ELD.

The Nomadic galvanized steel tub.

The steel tub can be used for laundry at the permanent address and also ELD can heat water in his rice cooker and add it to room temperature water to operate a bath. This will save ELD gas money in that he will not have to travel to the weight room on his days off.

On point post and reflections i have to say. You managed to put into words what i have been thinking about without getting it "down on paper". Regarding the stuff about his filming/editing at the perma adress seems staged/carefully curated or forced in some way and like he is jumping hurdles to hide something.

One of the issues that put me off with Rice and all of this,is that he is running his big mouth with the smug grin all the time. He is the best or elite in everything of course,and we all remember how he would laugh or make fun of people that didnt have the perks he had at the time. For example free drinks,Rice looked down on those for having to pay for drinks or having to stand in line to check in. Making dedicated shorts videos to make fun of these people.

But what he cant manage to do is having a big enough spine to honestly show us the magnitude of what kind of a dumpster he is renting.


Today's vlog with a click bait picture and title of boat over boat.

Not only didn't Rice play this hand it wasn't in the vlog.


Today's video ELD is down about $55 with two hours play at MGM Grand. ELD blames the PH job which is putting his Gold tier at risk since but for PH employment ELD would have played all of August and had Gold tier by now.

ELD denies a supplication by a fellow homeless Nomad for fifty cents for bus fare. ELD makes a finding on his video that bus fare is not fifty cents therefore the request must fail at that point. Even assuming for the sake of argument that the Nomad beggar is going to use the fifty cents for bus fare, and that the bus actually costs fifty cents, that ELD would not give away money which would be going to the dividend fund. ELD further recommends to next time ask for one dollar since nobody carries change anymore. Clearly, under ELD's rubric, since the homeless person asked initially for fifty cents, it would be improper to spontaneously raise the donation to one dollar since that is the smallest denomination ELD is carrying.

Hilarious stuff. Imagine someone asking ELD for change... buddy you are drawing stone cold dead!

As usual ELD goes into great detail about a hand that he wasnt involved with. He played for 2 hours and lost $55. Safe to say that was the cost of him paying the blinds for 2 hours and that he never played a single hand.

He also reminds us multiple times that he cashed the poker palace tournament via a 9 way chop. This must be his biggest score in a long time, given how many times he wants to remind us about it. Surprised if he doesn't try and get it added to his Hendon mob, if he even has one.

The constant complaining and whinging about how much he has been playing at MGM lately is really telling, given how little he has actually played. It's obvious at this point he is literally just sitting at the table as a chore to rack up tier points for maintaining Gold next year. Just so he can continue living like a nomad for another year!?


The future Nomads begging for bus fare should go to Fedex Office and print the following chart out which is preponderance of the evidence that the lowest bus fare on the strip in Clark County, Nevada is $2. However one can make the case that the donation should actually be $3 since that is the minimum required to buy a ticket on board the bus given that the Nomad can claim not having a smart phone which precludes same from downloading the RTC transit app.

Lol,he was actually so bored sitting there folding for 2 hours that he counted stats for the dealer to help make the time pass. Like can you imagine,omg dude.

Another hilarious thing is him whining and complaining about other players at the table "barely playing any hands". Sure,and that comes from mr action himself!

If i werent banned i would promptly asked him how many hands he is playing,or how much action he is giving in the game since he feels compelled to whine about other players.


this why I don't give him clicks

Lol yeah he has to find ways to amuse himself while he sits on his leather ass. Also always goes on about listening in on the players discussions. He rates a game based on the quality of the discussion going on at the table because it's not like he's there to play or make any money.

The hilarious part is that ever since he has been dealing at PH he can't seem to bring himself to play any sort of hours. He now considers 2 hours to be a lot and 1 hour is a more typical session for him. No wonder he keeps complaining about how many hours he needs to play to keep Gold at MGM and Diamond at Caesars

Whenever a panhandler would ask my grandfather for a dollar his response would be " I was about to ask you for 2".
In ELD's case he'd be telling the truth if he said " I was about to ask you for 2".


I'm thinking I could (and have many times) played more hours in three days than Rice plays in a month.

I'm thinking I could (and have many times) played more hours in three days than Rice plays in a month.

For sure. I have a couple of 2 month stints in Vegas under my belt,and i was hitting more than 400 hours or like 200 hours pr month.

But Rice isnt a pokerplayer anymore (debatable if he ever was),he wants to sit there like a robot and deal in his variancefree hourly now.

60 hours to get this gold status should be a complete walk in the park.


Rice's professional life is an abject failure give his background. How many part time poker dealers have Ivy league degrees? He most assuredly is in the bottom 1% of his Cornell class career wise. Even going to Nebraska law from Cornell is a failure. I work with a guy who graduated Cornell and went to law school at American, and he wears that as a daily badge of shame. And American is far more competitive than Nebraska.

Fortunately for Rice, he found his niche with his Youtube audience. He's got a group who provide him encouragement and give him applause for his useless videos. At the end of the day, it's more sad than funny, which is why I stopped watching his VLOGS. I'm not sure if Rice is actually happy in life; but if he is, good for him.

When I was there in Vegas last week, someone at the poker table had brought up that he heard from another AP player that he's basically broke. They also said that LT looked like she had gained a lot of weight, not sure if that's relevant to anything other than at least they're still eating.


Basically broke and gaining weight means pretty much standard situation normal in Trooper Land.


It is likely result of a high carb high fat low protein diet which is the cheapest diet when one is impoverished.

Lady Trooper is eating rice and sausage which causes weight gain and she used to eat lean chicken breasts and vegetables.

Another thing is broke folks stop using a/c and turn up the thermostat which causes them to be lethargic and unable to exercise due to heat exhaustion.

She doesn't need to travel to the weight room due to a shower at home and she needs to conserve fuel by cutting out gym visits.

It does,but i would guess they have fallen into a very passive and unhealthy lifestyle after they crashlanded with the candy adventure.

Sitting alot or not doing much+ how bad their diet is guaranteed to gain alot of weight.


Trooper was actually using his players card on some plays hence comped venitian rooms. Which also means decent food comps. They've actually probably been eating pretty good as he torches his tiny bankroll.
