very funny hand, he and Kevin just spoke about how bad players play MTT FT-s and dont know ICM, and then within 1 minute he shoved his 7bb stack utg w 55 while there were 3 less than 3 bb stack at the table.

finished 9/9

So he used himself as example. And how can he say bad players. Arent they some freshmen or other stupid sheeeet he made up?

i used the term "bad players", they said "some of the players" or something like that, nothing offensive.

Seduction 101

Because he edits out the losing to make himself look better. It's called "selling yourself". Every business does it - since when did you see an advert for a business that has all the complaints people have? Never. It's always people with big smiles on their faces in the adverts, telling you how awesome the company is.

It's a misleading and unethical practice, but this is what Jaime is doing. And this is why we need threads like this, because they are transparent and tell people the truth of what's really happening.

All I'm saying is the chat was going pretty slowly for 4k viewers and other people in the chat were pointing it out. He might have used viewbots or he might not, I'm just reporting on what I observed.

He's not winning at mid stakes. Only stakes he wins at are micros now.

I have to agree with you. I thought he had turned things around for good, but he hasn't. He's stilling making awful decisions and basic mistakes.

He's been playing poker for something like 7-8 years now? 2-3 years professionally. I think he needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and tell himself 'I'm not good enough to beat this game, I need to focus on something else in life'. There's no shame in that. He just needs to be honest with himself, which I feel he isn't being. A bit more self reflection would do him a world of good.

They're both cringeworthy. But he has to focus on his "brand" because he can't make a living playing poker.

This thread constantly reminds me that humans will never understand variance.

I think this thread understands variance quite well actually lol Jaime has listend to this thread for his off table stuff and it is working Well for him. The guy just needs to get better at poker

Apprarently he is putting in a lot of work studying but it's probably just running sims on push fold short stack situations and running sims on icm situations... Which is fine and this part of his game is fairly solid for the most part... Still makes mistakes but all in all this aspect of his game is decent

However his post flop decisions needs a lot of work... You can't run sims on this and this what sets average players to excellent players these days... I find it strange but maybe he will get better..

I've been watching his stream a bit lately now that he's less Cringe worthy and it's pretty up beat... If he played 100k hands at 50 or 100nl which isn't a lot and worked with a good cash game coach who understands post flop decisions and ranges and board textures very well... He could become a very good poker player

why cant you run sims for postflop play?

Pretty sure Jaimie just said that new "deal" game on pokerstars is 0 ev....

Bust out hand in Thursday thrill was super bad , don't see how he thinks he can profit defending Q2o against good players but there you go , thought process still super flawed on each street

I don't think he would disagree with you that he played the hand bad.

Preflop was fine his mistake most likely came on the flop when he didn't check jam

Tbh I think people over peel **** Qxo and Jxo way too much in those spots. Antes x:1 etc

It's bad HU vs ep and its those kind of combos that don't have good pre or post equity (hu and mw) which is why even 3-4 way they should be folds too.

I'm sure if anyone with a decent sample delves into their db they'll see these peels aren't profitable, especially in an online 1k...

Postflop pretty butchered to, Jaime knows that though.

I thought I'd address the variance point too. I said this thread proves people don't understand variance because they rate Jaime based on results such as how the month/year has gone.

In reality none of that matters, what matters is the decision making process going into each hand.

It wouldn't matter if he won the b22 next week if his game was still where it has been. But people use short term results in mtts as justification of ability which from a logical viewpoint is pretty terrible.

Mtts will be profitable for the best for many years to come because of the fish that play them. And the bad regs/be players who overestimate their edge, underestimate variance and don't work on their game enough.

I don't really care about how Jaime's stream went or how he's doing for the year or in December, all we should care about if we want to rate is ability is how he plays hands.

Some things are okay, his pre flop game isn't that bad (q2o peel is pretty bad when you run sims, add on the fact that he's never gonna realise enough equity in the big 11 let alone the thrill to make it profitable).

I think someone else suggested it but even talking postflop hands with some 50z reg for a month would do his game wonders.

I have to give props to Jaime generally though, it can't be easy to deal with the hate after playing a hand badly, everyone makes mistakes but on twitch it's really amplified by randoms in the chat spamming "wtf".

I guess that's countered by when you run hot and everyone thinks your a god but still, most of the time in mtts you brick so it must be hard to deal with a considerable amount of negativity due to streaming on a global platform.

That being said he's makes a lot from twitch so the money probs outweighs the ev lost from getting flamed. Although mindset>money.

That's where my problem (and a lot of others) comes with him. If you put yourself out there. If you want to be this famous personality. If you want to get better at poker. You better be ready to deal with negativity. There will be haters, and there will be jock strap huggers. That is what you sign up for when you put yourself out there on twitch or youtube.

Nothing has changed with the stream. Nothing has changed with the mindset. It's still everyone agreeing with everyone, immediately pulling out "sub mode" when a semblance of a disagreement comes up, and this almost cult like "positivity." If all you surround yourself with is a positive mindset culture with no criticism, no disagreement, you can't grow because everyone will always have the same idea as you.

Yeah have to agree, everyone knows what fame entails. I'm not saying it's easy dealing with haters and bs mouthbreathers but it's what you sign up for. Everything in life has a trade off and this is a big one in the case of putting yourself out there.

I don't really watch his streams much so I'm not in a great position to comment on the chat/viewers etc.

I watched Thrill stream. He played almost every ****ing hand terrible. That's incredible.

I am permabanned from Jamies chat Not even sure what I said lol.

"What up it's the trooper"

I actually said that once and people thought I was actually the Troop

You gotta be real careful what you say around this new generation of narcissistic millennial SJWs. You can't even make a joke, they are triggered so easily.

Yea I have noticed this as well. I'm assuming they're probably the same types that sit at the poker table and never say one word the whole time because they're so socially awkward and scared to come out of their shells.

Sounds like reddit /r/poker
Tell them you play online and win money, downvoted to hell

Regarding streamers like Jaime showing opponents mucked cards, should this be allowed?

"Jamie plays so bad, I'm 10x better" - average 2+2 user that can't beat NL2.

Real casinos show you the mucked cards if anyone on the table asks for it. Its considered rude. Which is just as dumb as "not telling other people at work how much you make" unwritten rule. Seeing mucked cards keeps the integrity of the game.
