You do have a point. My advice is he should just be eternally grateful for what he has been given by the twitch community and Pokerstars. He should stop dreaming about what he would like to accomplish and actually live up to his current responsibilities.

I stand by what I said about him being a dime a dozen. If Pstars dropped him and hired the next most popular poker twitcher or even a pretty young girl then their interests would be equally be served. So Jaime is expendable and he shouldn't delude himself that he isn't.
As for his play... well it speaks for itself as variance surely has worked itself out by now. He's likely a slightly better than breakeven player at the 20 dollar buy in and a winner at the low stakes and a loser at the high stakes. Nothing noteworthy. His personality is his only asset and he's fraying that connection with the common man when he goes on a tangent about not accomplishing enough... when in reality he himself hasn't done anything. His success is fueled by others so he should show a little more appreciation when he's on thin ice as it is.

Interesting on how people really are obsessed with this guy he's a cold dude took down some tourneys I think he's a good player and most players go through a rough patch it's just life it's bound to happen he will be back and off of broke street if he works hard but only the future will tell. Who knows he might just quit I like comeback story's anyways.

It's interesting how in that one video he talked about how he needs bigger goals. What he truly needs is a better work ethic. It seems like every day his aim is to wake up at 8 or 9am, and then he'll start the vlog talking about waking up at 2 or 3pm. Makes it pretty hard to reach your goals sitting on your ass all the time.

In poker you kind of reach goals by sitting on your ass for a long time.

No other words are needed other than this... perfect analysis

I get the joke you were trying to make, but the point is that he's sleeping, not sitting at his desk. If he truly wanted to make those dreams appear, he'd be trying to put up 50-60 hour weeks. If people knew he was putting in insane volume, I think he'd earn a ton of respect in the poker community, and possibly gain some new viewers.

He's actually exhibiting the signs of depression even though he's denying it. He's having trouble getting out of bed on time. He's stopped his diet, he's stopped exercising. He's given up on quitting smoking. He keeps trying to portray a positive attitude but it isn't genuine. He's like a boy whistling in the dark.

I think things may have gone downhill since the Montreal move. It's expensive to move across country. Then he made that vlog about having a house meeting about money. There seemed to be a lot of comments in the youtube suggesting that min-cash Martin doesn't pay his share toward bills. Makes sense, since he was concerned about that friendship ending, and I doubt his brother is too busto to pony up some dough.

Running bad, and having a roommate that lives off you has to be crazy stressful.

And what you truly need is to get a life.

It's interesting that once Gobbo locked the thread in LVL where you spent countless hours trolling TheTrooper, and vowed to drop the banhammer on anyone (e.g., you) who continued to troll Trooper in the new vlogger's thread, you wandered over here and started trolling Jaime.

You're just a really pathetic excuse for a human being, aren't you?

At the end of the day, he had the balls to turn on the webcam and put himself out there. He wasn't given anything. He earned everything he got. It's pretty impressive considering he's just an average Joe poker player.

Nobody is going to stream poker for 30 years and hang 'em up. He's a young dude who's likely learned a lot from streaming over the past year or two. I'm sure he can use some of the things he learned in his next endeavor.

This is the most active thread in this subcategory. I'm sure he doesn't mind if you'll keep it going...

Don't insult someone just because they have a different viewpoint. Try and defeat their arguments with logic and reason, without resorting to personal attacks.

He is right - as far as we can see, Jaime does not have a good enough work ethic to reach his dreams. He wants to become "the best poker player in the world" but it is very clear he does zero (or close to zero) studying off the tables. He wants to lose weight but can't stick to a diet and exercise regime for long enough. He says he will wake up at 9am to get things done and then in his youtube videos, says 'ok guys, got up at 2pm today'.

Anyway, has Jaime quit streaming altogether? He's not streamed for at least a month now. EPT finished ages ago, New Jersey event finished at least a week ago.

Best thing to do ^

Don't mind him. He's just a 60 something year old who just discovered the internet, and goes around trying to be a white knight defending anyone who criticizes one of his heros. Pretty sure he's just a lonely old man, and lonely guys like Jamie and the Trooper are just like him.

Oh please, Jaime is young. We all have issues that we are trying to overcome. You must have many if you feel the need to constantly attack someone who is trying to diet. You won't find successful people bringing others down. People who have their **** together build people up not put em down.

Nobody is trashing him for being unable to overcome things. For me, it's the lame excuses for why he can't. If he said, "I smoke, and I overeat. Someday maybe I'll work on it, but for now I don't care" I think people could respect that. It's when he tells this long story full of excuses why he started again (got sick, couldn't vape, so he smoked). Nobody here is asking him to be perfect. But don't make videos whining about your lot in life, while doing nothing towards improving it.

I still watch his vids from time to time. In an ideal world, he'll hold himself a bit more accountable, and I think he'll start to get the results he wants.

He is afraid to be honest with himself. Unfortunately he will be forced to be real when stars pulls his sponsorship

I doubt Stars is going to pull his membership anytime soon. But in some ways it might be good for him. I think Martin currently pays no house expenses, and will probably cut ties with Jamie if he actually has to pay his share of the bills.

Martin to me seems like a true piece of ****. The type that act likeable when the cameras are rolling, but are always trying to take advantage of the people around him.

Lol where did this Martin doesn't pay bills come from... If he is traveling around playing 1ks and playing all these live events he must be paying his share of rent haha

Is he playing in secret $1ks that don't get listed by HendonMob?

He hasn't even binked any online cash this year online over $2k from what I could find. Combine that with Jamie's vlog talking about the stressful house meeting he had a month ago where he was glad that Martin and him could stay friends. Talking about not everyone paying their share of bills etc. He has his Sharkscope blocked, so we can't go into greater detail about his stats, but it's not hard to read between the lines.

Ah guys just keep it simple. Jaimie is a cool guy, if you love to watch him do it, if not then go masturbating or stuff. When i had questions i wrote staples on facebook and he answered me ... who else is doing that. Pretty nice from him. I watch staples polk tonka...everybody has a different style ans skill and you can learn from everyone. Why the *** do i answer i such a stupid thread. Gl jamie. Youre next bink is coming soon...maybe you could grind some $ with 180s. Cheers

To be fair, I don't see a lot of people "hating" Jaime itt. I see people talking realistically about him. There is a difference.

This. And his fanboys allways sees that as hate or being jealous of his success. And people talk about him just like nvg talks about dawn or blom.

Today he managed to wake up late

He had to visit the bank, barber, walmart(moldy coffee machine and a blender for fruits) and get headphones

He managed to get a haircut and bought an iphone with headphones

day over. no detergent , new coffee machine or blender.

seriously?

So you don't see people hating Jaime, right, Adjusted? Luckynuts is just talking "realistically" about Jaime, right? Go ahead, and enlighten us all as to what this difference is of which you speak.

After all, you want to be "fair" about this, right?

One person is not a lot of people. Imo.
