Thanks guys! And I can appreciate wanting to see everyone have a good time whilst playing their A game...looking back at it I'm sure I could have done this and had a great time. Given the hands I got though I'd probably be looking back and saying man I should have played like a wild man instead of folding 84 offsuit all night. Guess the grass is always greener.
Thank you 
as for the PLO game that was at a different casino. One in which if I could somehow get them to do this it would make for some sick stuff. Then again the one huge spot would never want to be televised so that wouldn't fly anyway. Guess we can all dream. After experiencing stones and the way they treated the players I have much higher expectations from card rooms going forward. Stones is at the forefront of poker rooms as far as innovation and player appreciation.

Hey guys been a minute since I've posted in here So I have to say I mostly agree with this. The main purpose or idea behind a live stream, especially one that's of vloggers all playing poker with one another, would in my opinion be about entertainment. It was originally supposed to be a 5/5NL game but we lowered the stakes in hopes of creating a looser atmosphere at the table. It would also allow for some straddles and restraddles. I've played at stones once on stream where it was apparent everyone was playing bigger than they were used to and it was unwatchable. As for something going on behind the scenes, I'm not aware of anything strange happening.
No I didn't expect everyone to play like AIDS, but I do expect when I'm repeatedly putting in a dark 24 and 48 in a 1/3 game that other players might at least think about straddling to 6. In live poker image is everything. As I stated on instagram
"Here's some advice for all you aspiring poker pros. Live streams are supposed to be fun. People don't want to watch a giant nit fest...they can go and play in one of those games at their local card room. Wearing shades, keeping to yourself and just grinding won't get you invited to great games in the future. If you're folding value hands to the one giant spot in the game because you only want to make the nuts...you're doing it wrong. Make poker fun again!"

Of course tight aggressive poker is winning poker but sometimes you have to open up a little for the sake of the game. Given this was for fans of vloggers it would seem like the perfect opportunity to do so. Look at Dale "Hello7027". It's my understanding that he's generally pretty tight but he came to ****ing play! The game played bigger than he is used to and he stepped out of his comfort zone. I applaud his effort even if the results were bad. He made a sick call and got unlucky to lose vs me and then got coolered by kraut.
Can you imagine how I would have done in this game if I got Rayz card distribution? If I played my normal NL game I might have played less than 5 hands all night. Neeme and Brad were handcuffed because they were to my immediate right and understand that I was attacking and defending so wide that it would make their life hell if they didn't have the goods. Add to this that they would also have to beat the super strong range of those few in the seats before them I think there wasn't much they could do.
I tried my best to create a fun atmosphere and played like a 90% VPIP. I expected to come and lose because of playing like a maniac, I'm not stupid. My hopes were that I would eventually make a hand and as a result of my image get paid off. Unfortunately that never ever happened. For those who wanted numbers, I lost 2100 which included a couple of drink orders for the table that tallied about ~$150
Anyway I'd hope in the future if something like this happens again players would try harder to create a more lively atmosphere. I think kraut is a perfect example of this. He plays fairly tight but his demeanor at the table is fun and friendly. This goes so far in live poker and I would hope some other grinders would pick up on that. Ok this diatribe has reached its limit, Thanks if you made it this far 👍🏼 I'll most likely be talking about a couple of the crazier hands on the vlog in the future. Headed to SD this weekend and my sons come down with a fever so it might be awhile.

Is acting like a donk good for poker? Because you playing horribly doesn't want me to go play poker. Some guys take it seriously and some guys go gamble.
Rayz will continue to crush while you provide entertainment for everyone. Seems like your jealous.
Can someone tell me who won the most money in this game? You won't invite Rayz back because you know he will crush your soul again. That guy was the best at the table and it wasn't even close. Get a ****ing life dude.
Everyone knew Rayz would come out on top. Who the **** are you anyways?
