Jaime, I am deeply hurt. I posted in one of your vlogs on YouTub some advice for you and you deleted it. You were in Montreal and were having a down day, I suggested you go out and get laid and maybe bang a few French broads. It doesn't help grow your fanbase when you delete posts from people who reach out to you. Tonkaaaa doesn't do that. Oh well, no more advices from me.

And speaking of last responses....

I see that a couple of your compatriots in the troll brigade have been banned and won't be posting any more ridiculous nonsense in this thread. At least not under those SNs.

Oh, and feel free to take your time responding to my post as I won't be around until next week to read it. Maybe with a little more time, you'll have better luck coming up with something witty.

Nah, who are we kidding.

until you have at least half a million hands, its meaningless. variance in zoom is so huge, it can be quite easy to drop 30-40 buy ins in an unlucky run of 20k hands.

Great job deflecting guys ,

Being critical of some guy ... oh we can't actually look into their points we'll just say they suck at poker or they're jealous and ignore it.

Yeah Jaime is losing at poker currently but I think it has a lot more to do with being forced to play on 1 site and bad game selection (playing the thrill and sunday mil to please his audience) .

If he grinded at say $20 average buyin across 3-4 sites he'd have much better results than he currently does .

Disclaimer I like Jaime and have nothing against him personally etc etc.

A reoccuring theme in these youtube videos seems to be avoiding to show losing some big pots. Many times he has a 50bb stack semi deep in a tournament, and suddenly 30 seconds later he has somehow dwindled down to nothing. Overall the focus seems to be on bad beats which usually occur in some 7.50+r or a $22 Bubble rush, maybe to portfray the feeling that he is running super bad or Idk I might overread into this.


For instance in the latest sunday video you satellite into the warm up and show exactly one hand, have a great stack in the Sunday kick off which we get to see nothing more of, you are chipleading the Big 44 which we get to see very little of and you are suddenly very short in it and its the same with the 33 Sunday Rebuy which you have a big stack in and suddenly you have a fraction of it left. What we do get to see however is a bunch of pre flop all ins in spots that doesn't really matter, alternatively some bad beat for 4bb.

What are you highlighting in your videos and why?

I wonder if he showed that hand the other day where he got raised on A36 or something ridiculously dry oop, he called with some ******ed hand like j5o (after raising PF) and then checkshoved the turn with total air

"GUYS this looks like a punt, it feels like one but its the right play! What does he raise? A3? no he flats. He only has air"

even most winning tournament players are worse than nl10 cash game players, of course they play GTO!

Hey Channy,

The reason sometimes those hands get missed is because I have to mark the timestamps in the raw video myself. (Timestamps are for the editors to know what part of the raw file recording to look at to cut the hand out and put it in the edited video. The process would be twice as long and expensive if they had to look through the whole video.)

Also you can't mark the timestamp at the actual moment it occurs but after the delayed version of it occurs. So what ends up happening is I miss a ton of interesting spots on the fly because the chat isn't reacting to a turn raise decision (even though this is interesting in a video.) They are however reacting to an all-in and call. The ones that chat reacts too are easy for me to remember to do and sometimes the in depth poker decisions get lost because their is no visual cue of people reacting.

An option I will explore in the future will be having a "live content editor" that will be able to pick out spots in stream that are interesting for the highlights, or as standalone hands for Facebook, or would make an interesting spot for an article, etc etc. This could be part of a "head moderator/community manager" job perhaps. I don't have the $$$ for it right now and I do have higher priority things to happen first.

I would love for any volunteers! That said I tried crowd sourcing timestamps/moments in the past and it didn't work.

il chime in

big fan of yours Jaime and of your channel on youtube. I dont watch you stream, because id rather the cut down versions.
I miss your Spin and Go videos tho, they were fun to watch.

Been in Australia its difficult to get poker on tv (unless you have pay tv) so Im stuck watching youtube videos, most of which i have watched heaps of times. So its great to see almost daily videos of yours.

Ignore all the trolls, keep living the dream mate! If you are getting paid to play by PS...who cares. Im jealous. Id love to play for a living! There is no difference you been paid to (if you are) to a pro sports person who gets endorsements etc.
Keep up the good work mate!

i dont believe any of this.

download a stopwatch app. start the stopwatch the moment you start streaming. whenever a potential highlight occurs, record a "lap time" on the stopwatch. when the stream is over you will have a list of lap times that represent timestamps for the stream.

just admit you dont want a highlight reel of your tough spots when you cant beat the game anyway, nor do you want the extra scrutiny that comes with being a losing player. that is way more believable than the foolishness you posted.

That's basically what I do but the reason I use a program called chatty is it is marking the time in the broadcast, not the time since I start the clock. This is more helpful for the editors.

Also I think your logic sucks because for me to not include tough decisions I would have to think my decisions suck, and as this thread has established, I think way to highly of myself.

So which is your current theory? Either I am self aware and embarrassed or arrogant and confident in my decisions. I need you to pick a theory so I can point my tinfoil in the right direction.

As someone that edits highlight videos for other poker streamers, I have to say it's impossible to please everyone. People will always complain.

A lot of times there are no big pivotal hands that result in getting short stacked. Just a series of small, uninteresting pots that whittled you down. If you include these hands, people moan that the video is boring and accuse you of lazy editing. If you cut them out, people say you're hiding embarrassing hands or bemoan the mindless coinflipping.

Honestly though, it does seem like the latter group is smaller on YouTube. The complaining is loudest when you show folds and blind steals. People might say they want to see "real" poker, but most of them really just want to see big pots, ESPN style.

Could it be that you are trying to save face by not showing all these hands , and as a result your loyal fan-base thinks you are simply running bad ?

If people think you are running bad rather than playing bad you can continue to overcharge them with absurd markup on packages .

And who does this benefit most ?

Jaime, It is very telling that you have not agreed to one criticism in this thread. You always find a way to spin it in another direction.

My theory is, you dont give a damn about the cards. You make ridiculous and stupid decisions that even a semi autistic child would question. Since you are sponsored you never actually put a complete thought process in motion. I think you are more interested in building a brand and being Casey Neistat than a poker player. Remember what got you to the game in the first place. Stop the boo hooing and political correctness. People dislike you because they give an honest opinion and you retort with some conjecture that is totally fake. Be honest on your videos, tell people they are idiots and a POS. You may find that you earn a tab bit of respect from it. Even if they dont agree with you or even hate you. They will at least respect the decision.
And for christs sakes, shoving all in is not your only option. Stop talking about "profitable" shoves (in case you dont know, its not quite working for you over the past year) Play the cards and the people at the table. You are being taken advantage of on the tables because a lot of people know who you are and see the insane decisions you take. Win something. Play poker, dont pull a Vanessa Selbst and shove a J 5 with air.

You're kinda funny... in a pathetic sort of way. "Hey staples post your graphs" "Staples notice me!" "Staples I hate you, but can you please talk with me and help me prove my theories?!?"

Do you realize you could figure all of this out (and post it to shove it in his face) on your own? Jstclkdabtn showed you how to about 20 pages ago. I'm currently looking at Jaime's >40% avg roi in $5-$15 bi. Though, to keep you posting, i'll mention it's only a 5k sample.
