'Lo! a ripe sheaf of many golden days
Gleaned by the year in autumn's harvest ways,
With here and there, blood-tinted as an ember,
Some crimson poppy of a late delight
Atoning in its splendour for the flight
Of summer blooms and joys
This is September.'

It's that time of year, boys.

Who will end up in profit? Who will hit a down swing at the worst possible time? Will JCarver or Tonkaaaa win the viewership battle? Can Doug take down the $100k on stream? Can Jimmy Stapler make a comeback? Will a new streamer emerge from the pack?!

A place to report big runs as they happen and keep track of the streamers' results.

The Schedule

Kind of feel bad for the other streamers out there w/ the wcoop because not gonna get much viewers. And don't think there's much battle who is the number one. Dont know how high carver peaked yesterday but had that typical close to 10k viewers on his way to the final table. Tonka is a clear number two so the real battle is between polk and stapler if he aint too busy vlogging about the dream.

Viewers follow deep runs ultimately. Could be a changing of the guard.

Dreamers unite

Lol dreamers unite my ass. If it takes deep runs stapler gonna have like 10 viewers.

I'm going to final table bubble w/ K6o...you heard it here first

Haha. A glaring omission from the OP. Let's go nano!

Hype. Doug will be streaming the $100k with covered hole cards.

Hoping Dnegs plays the 100k from his bed using a laptop and googling opponents and being all like 'naaaah these guys don't have edge over me'.

And we're off! Doug & Tonka currently sat on 3k viewers each. Be interesting to see what happens when Jcarver rocks up. Staples MIA.

So, basically it's the same as opening his table in the PS client. /hype

I missed the live audio & video stream of each player on the PS client. /movealong

Typical carver w/ 10k tonka 4k and wcg 2k. Surprised that bparis w/ just 200 viewers.

So this just happened. Pretty small chances I think to hit the same table while streaming.

Tonks is 10/17 in WCOOP-09 $1k 2-7 NL Single Draw.

First Twitch title of the series?

The big four.

JCarver is so clutch with these deep runs. He's already top dawg to begin with.

Everyone taken the same day off..?

Interesting. Not quite sure how that dynamic is going to work; will Mercier be silent or also talking us through the action? Wonder if it changes Polk's plans.

How would it change polks plans? He aint freerolled to that tournament like mercier. And don't think mercier is giving out any strat and its all just carvers commentary.

Cannot wait for this. I do hope it gets archived to Twitch also so I can watch the replay. I'm assuming Carver is the one streaming this on his channel ?

So I think the commentary is allso at stars twich.

Pretty awesome PR from Doug. Would love him to take it down. HU vs Mericer obv.

The big four as it stands for today. I live, breath Twitch poker so I know all the real numbers. Nanonoko nor Elky are daily streamers and the only time they actively stream Poker for consecutive days is for WCOOP & SCOOP. Granted Nanonoko streams a bit more than Elky neither are regularly pushing 500+ viewers without help. They do stream other Twitch games like Hearthstone. You have to stream on a consistent basis to be considered a top Twitch poker streamer. Nanonoko's & Elky's viewership numbers are more of a result of hosts from JCarver or making a deep run in a high prize pool tourney. The fact is at best they average 200-400 viewers all things considered.

This is an accurate picture of the top 4 Twitch poker streamers:
1. JCarver (The head honcho 5k-15K average viewers everyday. Nobody short of Tom Dwan or Phil Ivey starting a Twitch channel is going to challenge him)
2. Jaime Staples (For whatever reason hasn't streamed as much)
3. Tonkaaaap (Started off red hot but see signs of burning out from streaming)
4. Doug Polk ( Don't like the guy but he does get viewers)

Then you've got streamers who are below the 1k average views Lex Veldhuis, B.Paris, JaimestaplePA, etc..

Stapler #2? Triggered.
