Given he coolered some random 1/3 player in this video it seems this is likely just variance. Hope he keeps it up though.would love nothing more than to see him play 5/T again sometime in the future.
His "hot streak" is still not even that impressive though. Playing part time I have made what he has made YTD in a month before. He is playing at least 4 times a week it would seem, plus online on Sundays, so if he is playing 25 hours a week he is at over 300 hours, so is making $12-13 an hour, which is fine and if he made that all the time he would be fine if he is making money off of YT and selling merchandise.
I am speculating on hours played, but looks like he has ~60 videos up this year, so assuming he has played poker on 90% of those and plays 5-6 hours on average it would be in that 300 hour range. I also believe he has some videos where he is playing until 2 AM and the such too, so it could be more hours too.
