Hey guys,

So, I finally did my first stream last night. It was really just a test stream, but I think it came out pretty good. I'm real happy with how it looks.

Just need to get a new mic and a new webcam. I have to mess around with the setup too because I was only able to 1 table the whole time.

My goal is to have 1 table on the stream for best viewership, but also be playing my normal 16-23 other tables at the same time. Having trouble with that still...

Anyways, overall I think it went over ok. I should be live streaming usually by noon EST everyday from now on...I was very chatty on the stream last night- going forward, sometimes I will be very talkative when I'm 1 tabling, and sometimes I will not be too talkative when I'm multi tabling.

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions here as to how I can improve the stream. I want to get us competing with JCarver's stream!! (We can all dream, right?)

I guess that's it. I hope this stream will help grow WPN and help everyone in the end. Talk soon!

p.s. Oh yea, the stream can be found here: http://twitch.tv/thegreensmoothie

Cool. Will definitely tune in when I don't have too many games going on myself. Best of luck. As a fellow high volume player, I definitely have much respect for the amount of dedication you have!

Edit: Get enough viewership to get partnered. Will definitely subscribe!

Thanks so much for your support!

Nice to meet other high volume guys

I aim to get tons of viewership and to absolutely be partnered. Starting today's stream at 2pm eastern after I make a quick recording for a coaching sesh.

Take care!

subbed to your stream. i cant wait to watch a mad man at work ^_^

Thanks man, glad to hear it. The only prob is that you won't get a real feel for the madness because I will only have up 1 of my tables while i grind the rest offscreen, but....it's better then nothing!

And everyone, I apologize for not getting this stream online faster. It's just a real pain in the a$$ to get a professional looking stream running all proper.

We are almost there, and I will be streaming for a few hours starting @ 6:30p EST.

I like that singe table HUD you're using these days

Streaming the largest game you're playing seems like a decent enough idea...

Watched for the 1st time. A+ Stream. Fun and interactive. Would recommend you guys to watch. Let's grow the WPN player pool and community guys!

ditto. enjoyed watching for the first time. look forward to watching you again. you're a sick grinder btw, very inspiring.

Thanks everyone for stopping in - I'm hittin' the sack to prepare for beast weekend grind. I will be streaming all weekend long starting midnight tn. See you guys then, and gl at the tables!

Thanks for your words of encouragement. Looking forward to you starting a Tourney stream as well!

Agreed! It also enables me to grind out my 20 tables. I think the one table is really good b/c it's crisp and clear.

Thanks so much for your kind words. You're all incredible people.

And guess who is in first place?

Love this stuff. Props.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy... Beast mode. No pun intended.

Thanks for your kind words!!

More kind words! You guys are awesome, thanks for your encouragement.

OK sooooo just got done with a stream, will be starting up between 10a and 11a eastern. Grinded 20 out of the first 27 hours since the beast started- I be a bit sweepy

I learned alot about the regulars on the site today. So many of you came in and said nice things - you're all awesome. Loving this community!

Yo Green ,

I was watching your stream a little bit , I found it to be pretty entertaining and cool overall. You are a likeable guy , little arrogant at times . but fun-loving and funny. Keep up the good work.

I know what its like to grind insane amount of hours with little sleep. You are an inspiration , although i play PLO so my variance is sky high.

I like when you told your mom you lost 5k over the weekend , reminded me of myself. lol.

Peace

I also watched.......my 1st time ever watching "a twitch" in fact.

Much better just enlarging the one screen so we could see what's going on. Could not make out anything when you had multi tables viewing.

Keep up the good work, and gl w/the Beast !

Perhaps I shouldn't say this but whatever

Do you think it could ever work out to be more money at the end of the week if you don't build a 2:1 lead over the weekend but instead are up like 40% on the next few guys so they might think they got a chance still Monday through Wednesday and decide to grind harder during the week potentially making first more valuable to you when you once you eventually pass them up?

I'll definitely check out the stream -- sounds awesome. Good luck this year.

I stopped by twice this weekend and enjoyed the stream. My only complaint was the background noise (kids, etc..). Keep it up and goodluck with the grind!

LOL was reading the rules on your twitch site and this had me cracking up.


Is there a way to check out old streams on this? I havent watched twitch in a while.

edit: lol just found your youtube channel, link for anyone else who wants it https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXS...nchvz2H6e2C9HA


GS any chance we can get a steam of you mass tabling? Seems hectic with so many short handed games.

Rule #2 was put in after someone named "looseAhole" came onto the stream for a while. Fun & funny at first. Later, bisexual, creepy, and currently on a 100,000 second time-out.

lmao

Thanks for the kind words. You're right, I am a little arrogant. I will work on it! And yea...it's funny trying to explain to friends/fam the ups and downs of poker

Thank you for your input! We are working on a 4 table layout that will be super viewable Still working on some tweaks.

Good luck to you also!

I have thought about it, yes. However, winning as much as possible in the Beast is not my main goal...my main goal is to be the first to 5-star General, so I think it's more important that I grind. Also, I'm not sure if it being close will win me that much more $ by the end of the week from like 2 more guys going at it all week.

On top of that, I would much rather be able to grind at a more relaxed pace during the week (8 hours) to have a normal life then to grind 12-16 hours everyday (although I would if necessary )

So, at this point, I am going balls to the wall every weekend.



Thanks for your support!

Sorry for the background noise- each one of my family members will be punished.

On a serious note, we will have to deal with it until I get a proper office

Thanks for the good luck!!

I will certainly do a mass tabling video if that's what the viewers want! And yes, it is quite hectic haha. Bugs me out tbh.

Alright guys, getting a late start today b/c I was working on recording a video for my coach! I will be streaming at around 4p EST. I think.
