Also think Staples' all time high at Sharkscope was around $65-70k?

Is this one more accurate than sharkscope or is that not including some tourneys?
That graph looks exactly like the one on sharkscope. He had a slow and steady grind, hit a couple of big scores in the big 109/sunday warmup, which got to his head and made him think he was better than he really was. Peaked at ~67k and then lost everything.

Now that is a mountain, holy ****! No wonder he blocked searches on sharkscope. I've been interested in his graph for many months, but he doesn't share that information anymore. I can also see why that $5K main event bustout meant so much to him and why he wanted reassurance from everyone that he didn't misplay JJ (which I think he did).

I've always been a fan of Jaime and hope he can turn it around. Perhaps its time to transition to smaller games, or spins, or something else. From the graph it looks like his average buyin is $215?!? That's way too big for his ability.

Out of curiosity how does his graph look compared to his bro's? Anyone got that one? Or graphs of everyone in the stream house would be even better!

His bro shows bankroll total and he is winning, last time i checked he was at 5k from something like 100$.. So not a "pro" but definitely winning and moving up


Kev was breaking even with a better trend than jamie

No, his average buy in is just over $40. Which makes sense because if you watch his streams, most of his tournaments are in the $11-$55 range.

I'm surprised there are people who don't know the extent of his losses. I guess this is why other sponsored pros hide their results, because they're either in the red or not up as much as people think.

How is that the case, though? Even the best tournament players don't cash anywhere near 50% of the time. It makes sense that even a winning MTT player graph will consist of a lot of small declines in between the upticks.

I've been trying to figure it out on my own without much success. But then I came across someone who had the perfect answer. Someone who is much more familiar with you and the inner workings of your psyche. Accordingly, I will let him answer the questions I posed in my first paragraph:
Wow this is such a smart post

I don't like people who are over achievers and complain about their life... He's a sub average poker player and makes a living off the game.. Has no right to complain about anything...

Nice post tho man... You're so innovative

This one site still showed stats, dunno if they have all the data. Maybe his alltime profit was higher, but the trend is real as everyone who watches him probably knows.
215 is not his average buy-in I put the cursor on the graph to check the "profit". Average Buy-In is 42.17.


He will probably block this site too.

MattStaples didnt show.
Didn't check Kevin, his stats are not showing the real picture because of freerolls. Like he won 7.5k in the thrill, but had to pay 6.8k to his staker.

Best to just put that guy on ignore too. He's just an SJW looking to be somebody's white knight.

Where did you find out about Kevin paying that much to his backer? With a split like that how does Min-cash Martin pay for anything? Maybe that's why Jamie was so sad shortly after the Montreal move, Kevin's living off him and taking advantage.

very few sponsored Stars pros are long-term winning players. this is why they are going to start bankrolling them (which they were basically already doing anyway).

Hi Jaime!


You're right. This thread should be moved to NVG where it will get even more views.

It was a freeroll and it turned into one of his biggest bink. He was freerolling for 10% of the thrill.

Don't know how they split their bills but I was just making a point about how the graphs don't show the real picture. His little brother also gets freerolls sometimes.

Basically some dude send him 1k for him to play the thrill. He could keep 10% of winnings and he made a deep run.

I think you have to count that as his profit, regardless if he keeps it or not. Otherwise, you should not consider Staples losing 70k, as about 50% of that is shares that he sell on pokermarket.

It's by far the most active thread in this forum, discussing the travails of one of the highest profile poker streamers on Twitch.

Not your bag? Don't open it.

I knew from day1 that his ambition was to become a Stars pro and he admits it now... but at the time if he had said please watch me so I can become a sponsored player off of your viewing backs he likely would have fallen on his face. As the world is full of drama queens and self absorbed people that want to get rich off of others.

In many ways he's a lot like Dnegs... but his fundamental problem is he doesn't have ability as a player whereas Dnegs does. Therefore he's a dime a dozen and could be replaced tomorrow by some 18 year old girl with a nice rack who is willing to talk to people all day.
When he talks about great achievers of this world he's forgetting the most important thing... they had ability. Jaime doesn't as a player. Now maybe he can parlay this thing of his and become some shyster preacher to collect funds... but as for poker he's a dime a dozen and should be eternally grateful that he's been given what he has by Pstars and ultimately the people that tune in to watch him. I don't hear much gratitude... I hear him moaning that he should be better off than where he is... but without ability how is that going to happen?
The problem with being a dime a dozen when you want to be unique is that you are a dime a dozen.
So you don't watch anyone on Twitch yet you think he's got no ability and can be easily replaced? You also said you have some advice for him yet you offered no advice? This entire post reeks. (But so does this entire thread so...) Staples has ability and also a great personality. I hope he binks something big and goes on a big upswing so everyone can stfu.
