Gobbo other Thread got closed by the mod said it doesn't belong in the House of Blogs, hoping we can have this one witho
It’s more well known in the Northeast. I grew up in NJ and had it a bunch of times. It’s not horrible. You basically fry it for breakfast and eat with your eggs and toast.
But yeah…like hot dogs, don’t look too much into how it’s made.
I grew up in Soviet Ukraine where such delicacies were unfortunately beyond our reach, and I've somehow remained clueless to its existence even after moving to NY
Pman reports that he still has not acquired a car. This has not stopped him from preparing for the courting of the ladies. He states he is replacing his tightie whities with boxers for improved sperm count. He is also thinking about freezing some sperm just in case something happens before he gets married so he will still be able to start a family.
ELD today reports from the two bed Bally's hotel room while eating breakfast of cantaloupe and cutting same with his Swiss Army knife.
ELD has a busy schedule for the next eleven days including watching Sicario I and II, Boy Meets World, Daria, Mad Max, and an entire season of Better Call Saul.
ELD will also watch Simple Living Alaska and Bald and Bankrupt.
ELD is getting comfortable in his Nomadic roots for his time off.
ELD is heading to Winco and replenishes candy, seltzer, milk, gouda cheese, pretzels, and hummus.
Manny takes ELD to the gyro restaurant outside Bally's.
ELD does laudry and smokes a cigar in the parking lot.
ELD states he also has been going to the weight room and went to Del Taco. ELD states this video is very "apt".

Hot dogs are like prime rib compared to that block of congealed organ mush that Rice bought. Hot dogs at least contain actual skeletal muscle rather than only offal and entrails.
Don't know if it has been mentioned here but Trooper mentioned he was getting $20/hour for any Trooper tables at the Westgate, for as long as the game was going. So probably around $200 or so a day (generally 1 table that starts at noon?). Unfortunately I remember many videos where he lost $500-1000 at those games.
don't get high on your own supply!

He said he basically broke even in those Westgate games, is a small winner lifetime at poker and that he isn't very good at poker.
He did say he made 55 an hour playing 2/5 nl for a few months in Florida when the 100 dollar cap games off the games in 2012 which makes sense bc those games were amazing.
He also said he sucked at optimizing his YouTube revenue and that he should have paid someone who is good at manipulating the YouTube algorithm to get more views.
I listened to about half of it mainly bc I like listening to Limon (who several times told trooper how much he sucked at poker) and while Trooper said some stupid things it was amazing how humble he was about his poker "skills" compared to his usual rhetoric where he acted like he was some great player who didn't need help.
If he had that attitude the entire time he would have been a lot more successful. Breaking even at poker and making 40/ hour in rake plus 20 an hour in secondary tables really could have added up to a lot if done correctly and multiple days a week.
In California Nomadic Method news, the news reports that a female poker player who returned from Vegas to her home in Hermosa Beach rented her home out to a Nomad for over 30 days due to the city ordinance requiring minimum of 30 day airbnb rentals in Hermosa Beach.
The Nomad then failed to vacate and the eviction process would take six months to remove the Nomad in which point he could live for free.
She also threatened the Nomad with a "welfare check" due to alleged leaking water.

Re: paying someone to boost the algorithm: Trooper could easily have done this himself with some basic research. Whatever you may think of Lexy Gavin Mather, she put out a vlog detailing how she and Bob approached creating their vlog - months of research into how to maximize views etc. As a result they have a successful vlog that is mostly lifestyle/travel with some all-in tournament hands thrown in. Even if neither of them is a great player, it doesn't matter. They're wealthy and seem to enjoy being together and traveling to various poker destinations. People watch for their interactions as well as the other stuff, and overall the vlog has probably helped get some clients for her coaching business while generating a bit of side income. LOL at the Grok saying Trooper compared working on getting more views/followers to being a dentist.
Trooper was at one time decent at filming and editing and also missed the chance to turn those skills into paid content creation for someone else, since he refused to work for "the man."

Agreed to all of this.I will say that Trooper could have smashed it in multiple different ways-if he wasnt such a stubborn clown that simply are uncapable of listening to people that knows more than him.
He could have done pretty well as a pokerplayer also imo back in the day 10+ years ago when the games were alot softer,and more touristmoney being dumped into the games.Trooper had a background of grinding sitngoes+decent amount of livecash when he moved to Vegas.If he would accept some basic coaching from Squid,Limon or other experienced live players i think he could at least be a big winner at Vegas 1/3 and maybe doing ok at 2/5 as well over time.

Trooper has no impulse control and is significantly less intelligent than your average American. He was never going to crush in any era.

I disagree on that. Impulse control or discipline for example can be learned to a certain degree over time.
What really sealed his faith of not crushing in any area is his stubborness/thinking he knows everything better than everyone,wich blocked him from maximizing out on the chances he got.
Imagine if he would learn to beat 1/3 or 2/5 when he moved to Vegas,plus got some advice on his vlog getting it to take off+his merch sales+Trooper Thursday we are looking at some solid monthly income.

I agree with your assessment regarding what Trooper should have done.
However, I believe Grok got it wrong, as this was discussed over the 10-15 minutes I watched after the link was posted. Trooper was comparing creating ongoing videos focusing on his hand histories like being at the dentist.
He never had an interest in covering hand histories, partly self serving for avoiding the criticism people would have about his strategy and decisions.
I cut off after that, but the one thing I did learn from the summary was the fact he dealt in many of the games. I would guess he did it not because he "felt bad" taking their money if he actually won, but rather he wanted to cut his risk, as he regularly reported losses at the game, though he did get a lot of his losses back with the rake agreement with the Westgate.

He didn't deal the Westgate games. He dealt at the linq a long time ago when they still had a poker room.

Funny how Brad has 799k subscribers doing exactly that and his videos get hundreds of thousands of views. Neeme might be over a million if he kept going.
But Trooper didn’t need to go to that extreme. He could have talked about 1 or 2 hands at least and actually give accurate details.
Showing 3 seconds of him folding 2 garbage hands was so bad RDP made fun of it and it was hilarious.
What else did he do during the day that was more interesting? Get coffee?
I thought it was interesting that the guy who wants to take credit for “starting it all” admitted to only watching around 3 poker vlogs.
How can he have so little interest in what other vloggers are doing? If it isn’t about himself he isn’t interested.

Stuff like this is why Neeme deserves credit for starting poker vlogging. Trooper did a Vegas vlog with a little poker in it. But Neeme was the one who started doing vlogs focusing on several hands during a session. And ever since then people imitated Neeme, not Trooper.
Nomadic Duck reports from Luxor and states it is 118 degrees.
Nomadic Duck checks into a room with two beds and endorses the two bed nomadic system.
Nomadic Duck states the Luxor rubric prevents filming and he goes to NYNY for filming purposes.
youre missing out!! Here's a couple short highlight clips to wet your whistle. TROOPER HAD GROUPIES!! TROOPIES!!!
Thanks, Limon. I really appreciate the Cliffs Notes / highlight reels.
It seems many things that Trooper has done ‘well’ in his life, he eventually gives them up for one reason or another. Whether it is his original vlog formula (Trooper Across America, etc.) or poker games he consistently won at or just about anything.
If memory serves, wasn’t he very successful playing those hyper turbo satellite buy ins they had at the WSOP? He seemed to be crushing those over the span of several years. Why did he give those up like he has most things he has been successful at?

Like most cocky blowhards, he becomes humble when he can get called out/embarrassed over his bs/lies by someone who knows what he's talking about. The vlog camera can't do that, so he goes back to his know-it-all blowhard personality in the vlogs.

That was because he was colluding and playing as a team with his friend Harry or whoever it was that he went to Biloxi with.
Pman reports that Limon is old and crusty.
