This guy has to be a troll, no? He posts sh*t like this on the daily:@cpataxpro4 hours agoHey, hey. nice camera vertical pan up in the opening scene! Appreciate those touches. Grats on No. 105 and the one-night-stay planning. Cool felt indeed and once again you are hitting ALL of the high points that could most interest a poker player in your room reviews. Also, the chip stack

Yes, and ELD's case of 'tism is unable to detect sarcasm so he is in no danger of the ban hammer.

Nah, Trooper has proven he can be a good employee and can hold a job, if he wants to. He's pretty much the only wack-packer that resembles an adult. I don't count Casino Nomad as a full-fledged wack-packer. Yet.

Which types of jobs though?

-server
-dealer

And he whines the whole time, thinks he should be tipped more (while never tipping anyone else in life), and lasts how long at these places?

He’s not Pchild, who has never worked 20 hours a week in his life. But, Trooper butts heads with anyone who doesn’t hold his exact worldview. Not many workplaces where that kind of person flourishes.


I'm thinking Rice did another homeless challenge for his trip to Oklahoma. He mentions a motel room but never shows it. We know from the past that when Rice doesn't show something like that he is usually lying about it.

Also if ever there was a time to do a homeless challenge it would have been this trip. He probably employed his patented sleep in car with sunglasses method after he was finished at both casinos; before returning the car and then flying back to LV.

Good catch,probably spot on.Been alot of poker on my part lately so my Rice radar hasnt been as fine tuned.

Its eating at him if he has to pay anything for lodging,he is still annoyed about the trips he made last year where he payed for two hotel nights each trip.He is talking about that whenever he gets the chance.

Or the other possibility is that it was too embarrassing to show. Maybe just a room in a share house similar to where he currently lives. Who knows what this clown will do to save some money; even now that he has a decent paying job (which actually makes it 10x worse)

Trooper worked the bare minimum hours for a few weeks at a restaurant, and the bare minimum hours for a few weeks at a poker room.
That don't impress me.
Not a snow balls chance in hell Trooper could hold down a real job.
Trooper's people skills are below Rice's, if that's possible.
Trooper's work ethic is terrible.


Internet Skater reports he can't drink caffeine and now must drink caffeine free Diet Coke.

Hannah reports on her expenses to Huntington Beach. She buys fish for $13.27, matcha for $8.49, and thrift clothes for $18.38.

Hannah needs to find a boyfriend who can drink caffeine and has a high caffeine tolerance.

Those jobs were enough for a living for him.

I don't remember seeing any whining about his tips. He didn't get fired from any jobs while on this forum because he couldn't do the job, that I'm aware of.

How do you know? When I've seen him at the Linq, he seemed to have a great rapport with other employees there.

He could have (and should have) lasted longer as a server. He just quit out of laziness and because he was running so incredibly well he thought he could be a 1-2 NL pro. And he thought saving up $8k to take a shot was enough to quit the job.

He wasn’t even working that many shifts so there would be fewer days for him to possibly clash with anyone.

He likes to say we won’t see a train wreck but that was a train wreck it I ever saw one, with him having $500 losses repeatedly, saying he was running horribly and went broke, then got a backer, kept losing, refused to get help to improve, etc.

He should have kept the job and worked more shifts if he started losing.

El Diesel was a much better player than him because he made a lot less stupid mistakes and didn’t pay off the fish as much, and didn’t tilt nearly as badly despite him getting upset when he loses with aces. Some may say that it’s tough for El Diesel to get paid off, but when Trooper had a big hand he liked to slowplay which makes it harder to get paid off.

The times I've seen Trooper's game, he looked like he was trying to play 2/5 or 5/10 in a 1/2 game. Too much bluffing and too much convinced that opponent is bluffing.


the fact Rice, just by folding 95 percent of hands is a better poker player than Trooper is hilarious.

That, and never folding an overpair on a drawy board where 3 people saw a flop. AA on QJx with 2 diamonds and saying the set/flush draw/ pair + back door equity he ran his stack into was a “bad beat.”

It’s a significant difference too. It was frustrating to watch because it takes so little effort to be a profitable nit.

If you're lucky. If I played like Diesel I'd hardly ever play a hand. I've often neglected to get dealt aces on an entire trip.


Today ELD goes to Winco and returns to his hotel room around 2 a.m.

At around 7 a.m. ELD goes to Oral Roberts University.

ELD points out the library and media arts center and states, "There you go".

ELD heads to a ghost town prior to his return flight to Vegas.

ELD goes to 9801 East 51st Street, Tulsa which is a ghost town.

In the mid 1960's the town was called Alsuma before it was annexed by Tulsa.

A local merchant was named Alsuma.

Alternative theory by ELD is that it stands for Alice, Susan, and Mary.

Alsuma is 160 acres.

I would rather not play than use that style

That "ghost town" is just an empty lot with some trees and a soccer field. No structures whatsoever, just Rice droning on and on per usual. And we still have a video of his attempt to get on the football field at UTulsa to look forward to.


In today's youtube short, Casino Nomad explains his Nomadic pack.

It includes condiments, hangers, mirror, and drain stoppers.


by pig4bill

Except he will overdo it, charging and paying off every day, trying to recoup the cost of the cruise. The credit card company will get wise and suspend charging privileges. Just like most stupid people he will abuse a privilege until it gets taken away from him. These nomads aren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer, otherwise they wouldn't be nomads.

QFT. Someone posted an AP player's podcast here. A few episodes were good, until it became monotonous, then he started b*tching b/c his cc companies stopped him from washing cash for rakeback.

There's really no difference. Nits have such a backwards ass approach to the game.


by VeniceMerchant

Of course, Trooper’s videos at least show some editing effort etc. whereas Rice’s are bottom-tier quality at best.

The craziest thing is the year Rice started vlogging daily he was really upset that he wasn't nominated for best poker vlog at the GPI Poker Awards. His videos have zero editing and zero effort. The lack of self-awareness is staggering.


by Steve00007

Trooper might do well in security work. He could try to enforce rules while acting like a tough guy.

Trooper's dream job is to be the president of an HOA.


In today's short ELD reports from the Bellagio Conservatory.

ELD explains the February Cronut.

The Cronut is available at both Paris and Caesars Palace.

ELD will try the February Cronut prior to the end of the month.
