Las Vegas Poker Player Vlogs

I think a "Rice containment" thread is long overdue.

You are not alone. His personal hygiene is so bad, can just imagine how bad it was when he was homeless fulltime,his beard basically never got trimmed,using dirty sweaty clothes over and over++.

Its not without reason i am calling him a nasty pig.

yeah i watch the stuff that gets shared here and did notice the one time he didn't block the counter was when it was in the 1700s and that "big win" he posted i was thinking after seeing the unblocked 1700 that he must be playing something that "looks good" like 1050 (most are at the reset as people tend to play through so after seeing 20x 200s you see a 1050 and are like "zomg so much value" which is why they include the counters and precisely why they never restart at 0 but instead at 100 on the buffalos and some random number on the phoenix - so you'll never see a number below 100

and i digress... but when he said "oh that hit early" my first thoughts were "no that hit at about where you'd expect it to hit if you played the right numbers where it's close to the mandated pop" so it was clear he was dipping in early and hoping to get lucky... which can feel rewarding at times when it works, but you also gotta remember that the random people not even looking at those things and just choosing their denom and playing it also win sometimes despite playing much worse numbers so you can't get too results oriented of telling yourself "it worked so was obviously a good play"

importantly, in one of the videos, i saw him walk right past one of the best known progressive state slots that was smash value and incredibly easy to see because they show everything up front (no need to approach and manually switch the denoms) so he definitely just has tunnel vision for a few slots - which makes his decision to force in questionable plays even more bizarre - if you're mostly playing phoenix link then how are not knowledgeable enough on it to be disciplined

honestly, if he were more open about where he was making plays i'd actually think he was one of those industry plants using freebets and sent to encourage his viewers to make similarly questionable plays

I disagree.
Trooper has succeeded at finding someone (Christina, aka Lady Trooper) to pay his way for the last five years.
That puts Trooper in the top 1% of underfunded deadbeat's.

he definitely struck a goldmine in that regard, usually those types last 6 to 12 months at the most before their victims have enough and they have to find another unfortunate soul to leech off of

Then what was she doing putting all that effort into his candy business?

He probably threatened to cut off the D if she didn't bake him some brittle. Oh, and the "marshmellows". Last time I had a marshmallow was when I stuck it with a random stick from my backyard and stuck it near an open fire.

I think the last time I had one was in the 1970's.

I think it was something to do. Something to spend her money on. (I think she's got lots of it).

She seems to have at least some money but certainly doesn't seem to have lots judging by her lifestyle. She probably has more than 20k though which would make her seem like a millionaire to Trooper

It's more likely she's collecting alimony

Which would almost certainly put her in the 'some money and not completely broke' category rather than in the 'lots of money' category as suggested earlier

On a separate note is there any basis for people thinking Trooper would get a decent inheritance from his Mom

Pretty boring Rice video today with few laughable whack pack moments. Couple of things ive noticed:

-Rice have couple of days off,and instabooked himself in at Ballys(you may call it Horseshoe). So everytime he has time off he goes away on trips,or books a stay at the strip this time. It is clear Rice isnt keen on spending any time at "the adress".

-Doesent give results after the session,but as pr usual can talk about hours until you fall asleep.

-He walked up one single escalator that was out of service towards the end of the video and instantly got the heavy breathing going. Its like turning on a switch.

It's a passive income stream, which is different to wealth. Depending on how much it is and how long it lasts, it could be a lot more valuable than having 100k in the bank

Yeah I'm aware what it is. As you say it can add up over time and if she really has alimony it is nice for her. But it's also similar to having a mid level job. It's a steady income but doesn't give you a top tier lifestyle.

In her case I don't think there is anything more than speculation she actually gets alimony. The way they have been recently suggests if she does there can be big gaps between payments as all signs have pointed to them being broke at least in the short term

I'm taking the under on him playing 25 hours in this challenge.

Agreed,especially the announced 10 hour session he boasted about tomorrow. When was the last time he played a session even remotely close to 10 hours?

I do believe he will get the hours needed for Gold before 1. January,because getting the resort fees waived is more important to Rice than anything else. If he loses Gold that will be a major hit to his ego,wich i dont think he will let happen.

As usual ELD discusses 2 hands that he was not involved in. Both hands had like 6 players to the flop so he's likely the only player not involved lol

The only hand he has told us about in the last few months that he was actually involved in was last night where he got a huge $60 double up with AA against his friend. He was super proud of that one.

It would be pretty hard to have more than speculation. It's not like they are going to tell us about something like that. At her age it's extremely likely that she was previously married, before linking up with Trooper. And it would certainly explain how they are able to afford their decent lifestyle, apartment and car, despite Tim being a broke ass clown. If it were not for Lady Trooper he would almost certainly still be living in Desert Manor or worse.

Yeah I agree with you it is fairly likely and as you say not the sort of thing they would mention publicly. There are some people that post here who live in Vegas and seem to have a bit more inside info but doesn't seem anyone knows for sure

In alternative historical timeline that Trooper had no sugar girlfriend, then likely when ELD rolled into Vegas around March 2022, ELD would have linked up with Trooper and taught the Nomadic Method to Trooper. Trooper could have at that time tier matched to Wyndham and the matched to CET Diamond (this is prior to CET cutting off the match and rematch system).

The Trooper is the kind of guy that is so stupid he doesent realize what a world of hurt he would be facing recently if he didnt met Lady T and she stuck with him for this many years.. He basically hit lightening in a bottle.

He would guaranteed went broke and lose all his money playing poker sooner or later if he kept going that route. Then he would be forced to downgrade on lifestyle choices,apartment downgrade for sure and possibly also cheaper car. Certainly alot less eating out and on the strip hitting bakeries all the time that kind of stuff.

Yes he would still have some income through TT,but as we see recently it has been slowing down a freaking lot. It isnt close to the moneymaker it once was for Trooper with 3 tables going on regular basis and high demand for seats.

He would be close to Rice level if it wasnt for sugarmomma Lady T.

The ‘tism sure showed through when Rice saw that bubble gun at the Poker Palace and definitively declared it the best thing in poker. Hearing ‘Shuffle up and Deal’ at the WSOP versus 3 gigantic plates of spaghetti and a bubble gun at the low roller Poker Palace? Not even close in Rice’s book.

What a day for rice. Shoveling tons of spaghetti down his throat for 4 dollars while his friend eats steak and then winning with AA.

I swear he's gonna ruin MGM gold for poker players.
