People read into all this way too much. Just simplify it.

Do you enjoy the stream/vlog and are you entertained?
If yes, continue watching. If no, don't.

Wins/losses, production costs or anything else really don't matter to you as the viewer. Are you going to HBO and complaining that they could have spent less on the production of the trailer for Game of Thrones?

I find it really funny that Jaime thinks he actually needs a team for his content creation. His vlogs are piss easy to edit, the little graphic things, thumbnails and whatever he needs are a couple of minutes of work to someone halfway decent with photoshop. He is getting ****ed so hard by whoever he is employing by paying close to the absurd sum of 7k a month that is being thrown around. I guarantee you not even the largest Youtubers pay even close to such sums for editing. The 400h+ he mentioned simply do not add up. Either he is being lied to or is delusional about the amount of work that the people put into his content.

As for modding the channel? AHAHAAH. Guess how much huge Twitch streamers like Lirik, Sodapoppin and Summit1G pay their mods per month? 0$.

Jaime seems to live in this weird fantasy world where he can be the next Casey Neistat but with a poker angle. I am sorry, you huffin and puffin in your vlogs will not garner a huge audience. There is nothing interesting there and new vlog channels just do not grow any more. The illusions of grandeur of some baller lifestyle that you do not actually live to crazily overpaying people for tasks that bring close to no value back will end up burning him bad. (i.e you could learn to edit your own vlogs in a week and have them have equal quality. Editing those would take an hour tops out of your day).

This post seems awfully negative and will instantly be classified as "just some hater" to invalidate what I am saying but this comes from me meaning well. I thought Jaime was a cool little success story of a kid streaming poker on Twitch to getting a Stars sponsorship. Feel like that kid lost his ways and got in way over his head.
Just because someone says something in a not very nice way does not mean their points or advice are incorrect. Putting yourself into an echochamber of yes men and dismissing negative responses because they are negative is a cancerous mindset and counter productive to personal growth.

Worst analogy ever. Game of thrones is the biggest show in the world right now and they are making trunks of money. Poker is a small community so discussion about high profile people is a natural thing and seems people giving their honest opinion over being PC and a yes man is better overall for the streamer/youtube star.

Good advice from waari as well i said something similar about yes men didn't see his edit.

Well put waari +1

Jaime used to show his results on stream. He stopped once he started losing big. What does that tell you?


Anyway, I agree with waari. Jaime surrounding himself with yes men and only people whose opinions he agrees with is going to be hugely detrimental to his success. You have to be able to take criticism. His comments about wanting to "control" and "ban" people he doesn't agree with is very worrying in that regard, because it shows he's in denial and quite frankly delusional.

Btw, where is he getting 7k a month from to pay these editors? He loses money at poker, there's no way he makes 7k a month on twitch, so it's either his Stars sponsorship money or he has a very rich friend/family member paying for him.

I saw his vlog with KMart and he said he was learning to edit his own videos and then i started to laugh because this doofus Jaime says he pays so much to copy what Neistat did with his intros... I wonder if he is going to invest 10k into a "top of the line" drone... i have one for sale for 8,999.00 lol

I agree with you to the extent that he uses his stream as a vehicle to sell his clearly exorbitantly priced packages for "entertainment" and his coaching. However I completely disagree that by him choosing to remove his results, he must inherently have a nefarious motive.

I don't know about you, but when I've been on a downswing before, the last thing I wanted was to be constantly reminded of it, which is only magnified while streaming.

Personally speaking, I have no idea why so many in this thread care so much, I don't enjoy his stream and could care less whether he succeeds or fails, but to rake him over the coals just because you don't like him just seems pretty pathetic to me.

Jaime you are never going to reach your goals until you deal with your narcissism and ego. This is the root of so many of your failures. All of your bad habits are just your way of protecting your ego. All of your "openness" and "honesty" is just you satisfying your need to make everything about you. You wont beat your weight, you wont beat your nicotine addiction, and you wont beat poker until you actually deal with who you are TODAY, rather than closing your eyes and hoping osmosis (or in your case "brand" success) turns you into the person you want to be.

Don't forget how much money he made selling action at huge markup when he's a losing player.

These trolls speak the truth. My wife can't stand you. She gets pissed when you come on the roku. No one besides die hard pokerprowannabe fans like myself would ever watch your crap. Your ceiling is like 50k subscribers...tops. You're too boring and nice. You're Canadian.

I'm curious about this. Can you be specific about how obesity affects a player's game? Thanks.

this! Jaime your are insane if you continue to burn money on your team of people lol straight up put the hours of hard work into your health, poker studying and streaming, if you enjoy vlogging and content creation, then learn to edit and do all that stuff on your own or pay someone to teach you even, i'm honestly starting to think Pokerstars is just straight up bankrolling you because you are torching money

50K subscribers = $1.5 Million Per Year

Sick ceiling.

He probably talks about youtube, no idea how much it makes there but probably not that much.

less than 100$/vid if they all watch as jaime's audience is mostly old men and women + underage kids with an ad blocker

Why pay $7k a month when you're making less than $100 a vid? He must think he's going to be raking in millions within the next few years.

If socialblade is reliable he nets at top ~24k/year. So he allmost breaks even after paying the editors making meh videos.





And this is the vlog channel numbers from november :



You must have really bad hourly in poker if you make more w/ youtube content. Though have no idea how facebook makes money.

It doesn't he's a chump and selling us all wolf tickets in his success

with an average of 4k views per day. hes averaging about $5 bucks. not nearly enough to be worth it. you have to average 100k views per day to be able to have any comfortable breathing room. Still not enough to justify paying 7k per month.

On Twitch, yes.

50k subs on twitch as a poker player is impossible

The top streams have around 10k subs so that's not possible. They also get more than $2.50 per sub.

thanks.

No problem, I think we all appreciate the wisdom you bring to this thread. You are basically a twitch celebrity.. So thanks for your intriguing non biased insight
