To anyone who says he doesn't deserve it - you just don't get it.

The days of just showing up and getting a patch because you're an excellent player are for the most part over. You have add value to the brand now. Jamie was an early adopter to a technology that is popular with a whole new demographic of potentially new players.

Thanks Wild

Really helping out with that SNE grind. Would help you improving post flop play (not that I'm anywhere near good enough to comment on that, but in theory it should for a MTT grinder shouldn't it?) and would also make a diversity in your streaming content, pleasing cash game loving viewers.

Congrats on the the sponsorship, really happy to see pokerstars realizing how huge twitch streaming has become and capitalizing on it.

It would definitely help me get there. Most of the time I try and tailor my stream to what people want to watch. Im known for tournaments, and most people want to watch tournaments, so I think I have to stick to that on stream. It sucks because I would like to do more niche things every once in a while but the casual demo just isn't interested and it muddies the "stream brand" a bit I think. Tournaments every time is more memorable.

Its just business man - pro's from all the main target countries and a few random hotties makes marketing sense as does branching out into twitch.

Ive never watched twitch before they allowed poker. Watching you take down the $109 the other night on the same day you got signed by stars was a lot of fun and highly motivating. Best of luck in the future

Unlucky on the $20k last night, was really hoping you'd bink another.

Even my GF (who doesn't play/understand Poker) enjoys watching your stream, she finds you very personable

Keep up the good work, VAMOS!

MattVanDam,

Jamie is an internet "celebrity" that binks thousand dollar plus tournies as often as you fart and now is gainfully employed as someone sponsored by a billion-dollar company.

Hold that girl tight, Matt, because it sounds like she wants to get nailed by a Staple.

Jaime has a really good broadcast personality and voice, so his streams are always enjoyable, and seems like a nice dude. Good on him.

I want to see him rage once. There is no way an almost professional golfer and current poker player doesn't have a blow up every now and then.

I don't know for sure, but I imagine hosting a live stream makes it a lot easier to not 'blow-up'.

Because if it was me, I would be scared to embarrass myself in front of a large audience, so I would have a lot of focus on keeping my cool.

He seems to have to much of a calm demeanor. I have never seen any sort of emotion from his stream yet. Most is a big smile and a pause.

A few days ago I saw him replay a clip of a short moment of rage. Then he made fun of himself and told the stream it's okay to get frustrated sometimes. The man isn't pretending to be perfect, which makes him even more likeable.

Late to the party but congrats on the sponsorship, well deserved and couldn't have gone to a nicer guy.

Didn't realize you had such a full on setup for the stream, all the gear yet still using a book to prop up one of your monitors heh.

Looks like that turned out to be a good investment. Although I doubt PS are giving him much.

gave him the 100$ tourney the first day after he signed
