Hello all, a lot of you know me and a few of you don't. I am Kyle O'Neill I play on pokerstars as I GRIND THIS, and many names across other sites. I play mainly midstakes MTTs and have transitioned from sng180's where I was arguably one of the better players. I'm a relocated American player currently living in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

I'm posting here today to make more of the poker community aware of what i'm doing and where I'll be doing it, www.twitch.tv/igrindthis

I have been streaming every day for up to 14 hours, going on the 10th or 11th stream, pouring all my energy and heart into it.Getting around 80-100 concurrent viewers for large periods of time. Would love to see more familiar faces in the chat! My goal is to provide an insight to the day to day of a backed MTT player. I am currently on a mission to clear my makeup on stream(50k) and have already cleared 18k of it winning the Sunday Stack last Sunday in front of 420 viewers! I'd love to have you all there because this is where it all started for me.

Normal start time would be Midnight CST.

cheers, yaboy IGT

Hi David,

Looking at your statistics it looks like your channel viewers have been artificially inflated. Even if it’s not you doing it, your stats prior to the inflation would not be sufficient to meet our requirements for a partnership. As far as you doing something about this, we hope to attack this as an engineering effort, as there is not a lot you can do yourself to combat this, unless you know who is doing it to your channel.

I was sent this email today and it came as an insane surprise. My channel fluctuates on avg between 50-150 viewers given timeslot and I have been hosted by Tonka and Jaime Staples for a few times to hit over 1.5k in some rare cases. Even bparispoker will host me semi regularly for 300-600 viewers. The occassional MTT run will net me in between 200-1k viewers depending on the size of the score. Now i'm put in a position to where i'm not even incentivized to stream because even if I get up to say 300 people organically (organically meaning without host) during an MTT run... I'll still be under the scrutiny of said inflation/viewbotting.. If you know me, or have met me you would know that I wouldn't do such a thing or even know how to do it lol...Also if I were viewbotting, or if anyone is in fact viewbotting my channel it must be broken... my viewership is relatively low. What should I do going forward? Keep streaming and hope twitch figures out that its a mistake or them not recognizing the hosts or something? I seriously have no idea what I should do. I want to stream and I enjoy building the community and proving the content... but to wake up to emails like these being %1million% innocent of these claims kind of disincentivizes me to do so.

edit: to be clear i'm addressing the viewbot claim and not partnership.
