If you google 'coffin homes hong kong' you will notice that old Rice is living like a king in comparison to those poor people! Perhaps Rice himself has already used some of their space saving techniques gleaned from google/youtube.

Does anyone have an educated guess on what Trooper's current hourly is playing AP slots ?
$10 $15 $20 $25, more than $25 an hour?
He's gotta be better at it now than before ?

Is the AP market drying up, becoming less and less profitable, therefore more and more difficult, hence less and less profitable?

Tougher because:

1. More information exists. YMMV On quality of that information. But it’s out there. Some free, some behind paywalls. Makes the edges smaller.
2. AP games are being phased out by game manufacturers and casinos over time. Makes the opportunities fewer.
3. YouTube guys have made it seem like anyone can do this which has likely flooded the space with people who think this is the fast way to riches. Makes the net amount of winning less per player.

On my last trip in December I counted a dozen APers cruising through Flamingo in the 45 minutes I was at slots. And they think they’re so clever trying to make it not look obvious who/what they are. It just makes it obvious.

True. Despite being able to touch opposite walls at the same time with his outstretched arms, Rice has more room than he knows what to do with. He stated in that video while sitting on his step stool that he wasn't finished decorating yet. Who would ever be finished yet? I heard he's back on the rental market listings for a coat closet for rent to save a couple bucks more per month.

Great post. AP is DEFINITELY getting tougher. I'm seeing machines like Scarab being replaced with non-AP "teaser" machines. And so many more people are just walking around checking machines. Not saying they're aren't AP plays still out there but yeah...not as fruitful as it was before.

I'm going on a caribbean cruise in a few weeks. Curious to see what kind of AP plays might be available in their casino.

If Trooper just shoves pre every hand blind he's going to have 25% equity against RDP's calling range at a bare minimum. Plus who knows how much of a chip lead he will have acquired by the time he finally gets called. Troopers EV in a $10k HU freeroll would have to be at least $5k assuming the prize for winning is $20k. There's no way his EV from playing slots is anywhere near

Trooper can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, he gave up Trooper Thursday because he couldn’t host 1 low stakes game a week on top of slot hustling. He needs to focus his turnip brain on one thing at a time to get max EV. I do agree with you that finding Phoenix plays in the 1800s is lower EV than the HU freeroll.

Including driving, eating in the casino, and Trooper’s general buffoonery, with his big hits he is probably over $120/hour. Yes, the market gets tougher by the hour as new hustlers roll in but there are still a lot of powerful machines that can be found in powerful positions. It is way more variance, both on finding the right plays and then completing them.

Normal people with normal arms could touch both walls. With Rice arms, probably not.

Rice somehow found a way to downgrade from the permanent address; no doubt in order to save a few dollars per month. Despite being a downgrade he still refers to the new residence as the permanent address 2.0

I am basically speechless that Fat Zach actually managed to downgrade from his first permanent adress.That is an unreal accomplishment.

You mean like in Trooper's latest short where he was lucky enough to stumble across a $2 Phoenix Link at an amazing1838?

He won $16. Makes me want to book tickets to Vegas right now.


Exactly, that’s been one of the few actual nice finds Trooper has ever posted, the rest of his content is him just running hot on marginal/bad stuff.


by angle_shooter

Who told this pompous clown that he has to post absolutely ridiculous trash content every single day to YouTube?

He is inviting the ridicule, mocking and derision by his own actions of putting himself and his pathetic life in the public domain. Anyone who doesn't see that needs their head examined.

Teh intarwebs punish the narcissistic.

it’s not about that, it’s about the unhealthy fixation some people develop online

i've had random lurkers with no 2p2 accounts message me on twitter just to let me know they had read an 8 year old thread that hadn't had new posts in forever where i shared some personal tweets

not for any actual reason, not because we knew each other, not even to continue a discussion, literally just to announce “hey i found you.” not done in a threatening way, more like some weird online game of tag. i'm an absolute 2p2 nobody and this has happened to me many times, which is exactly why a lot of the people who later became recognizable names stopped posting here or moved to alts

and most people are normal, but there’s always a small percentage of obsessive people online who start feeling like they have some kind of personal relationship with you once you share enough real details about your life. they watch years of your content, know your routines, relationships, financial struggles, living situation, all these tiny details about you, while to you they’re just a completely unknown stranger

for normal people that boundary still exists. for weird obsessive people it often doesn’t, and that’s where you start getting people analyzing another person’s life at a level that would seem genuinely bizarre in any normal social setting

and yes, vloggers obviously invite more of that than average people because they are intentionally becoming public figures, but there’s still a difference between normal joking around and the kind of hyperfixation where strangers start treating someone else’s personal life like an interactive puzzle to study

there’s basically no upside to rolling the dice on eventually attracting one of the people who can’t maintain that boundary - hence why i'm not going to give out too much personal info whereas in the past i used to do that freely


RDP killing in with this latest Trooper Moment video referring to Trooper's new video about their possible heads up match.

Rice/Fat Zach/El Doofus is a failed poker player "pro" and Ivy League Graduate that is in the bottom 99.9% of his graduating class. He saw his hero Trooper making daily videos and gaining free handouts along with legions of devoted, clueless and mouth-breathing fans. This tickled Fat Zach's belly like a Fat Bastard in Austin Powers. Over the last 4 years, Rice has complied a meaningless streak of absolutely horrible daily videos that provide him an average of $4.37 where he plans to invest these dividends to retire by age 55.

Rice received zero attention or recognition outside of academics his entire life due to his deformed dome appearance and bizarre personality so getting a couple thousand views on the interwebs is like hitting the lottery for Schlubby Zach. This man is nearly a 40 year old incel that dresses himself like a 13 year old on summer break. YouTube and the interwebs is the gift that keeps on giving for mutants like Rice since he received more attention and views than this clown could ever pull in real life so that's a small win for him despite being a total lolcow for us.

On point overall, but I don't think he's an incel. Seems his lack of a girl (or boy) friend is by choice.

He’s most likely asexual or just gay, which explains his passion for seeing others in the weight room showers and being in other random places that he doesn’t have any business being nearby.

The biggest decision that Fat Zach must make nowadays is how many plates of free food shall he destroy at the EDR ?



Pman is still holding on to hope he's just running bad and not actually a losing and horrible poker player.

While yes most poker players don't understand how big variance is but the flip side is also true. People point to variance as to why they're losing.

One of the key metrics that affects variance is your skill level and win rate. Larger those are, the smaller your variance will be. The opposite is also true however.

This is hilarious considering he's actually run way above expectation with his 2nd place finish. It was just enough to delude him into thinking he's actually good at poker.

While located on Freemont Street, The Trooper tells a clown on a scooter to slow down, RDP reports in his video that, "It's not every day that you see one disabled clown tell another disabled clown to slow down."

Lol 😀

I wdn't be surprised 25 cents an hour is closer than $25 an hour.

This sums it up perfectly



Pooper with a tweet going fairly viral with 33k views. In the comments he proudly boasts how he tipped $0 on the hand pay.

Yup, it seems that Pman doesn't understand that variance is what keeps losing players like him in the game.

Perfect excuse for him to not tip. He's "joked" several times about tipping the cents from a grand jackpot.

In other words; if the Dragon Link Grand is sitting at $1,253,021.73 he thinks it would be funny to tip the attendant 73 cents if he hits it.


i think it's dumb to tip those people, they had nothing to do with it, they are just performing a tax issue

only reason why i tipped was because as an ap, i was going to be hitting them with some regularity and didn't want any negative scrutiny coming from slot floors
