It's because nobody else is streaming. I'm guessing KMart and baby Staples have an agreement not to stream at the same time as him because they both disappeared the same time he started his 30 days of Christmas stream. It's a shame really, I enjoy KMart's stream. He has lots of personality and he gets excited when in a hand. It's good to see people with personality on Twitch, including Jaime of course, rather than the typical monotone robotic hoodie wearing internet geek.

Yeah agree, big reason why mtts are most popular form of poker on twitch is the extra amount of emotion and general fluctuation which occurs when playing tournaments.

His chat was going slower than a few months ago when he had 1k viewers. But mysteriously, he's getting 4k+ viewers now.

I haven't definitively proved it because I don't know how to I'm sure it's possible to prove it, in a similar way to how gripsed was proved to be using viewbots.

If the viewers are genuine humans, then fair play. But it does seem odd that his viewer count has tripled but the chat is going slower than it was before.
You know its really dangerous to make these assumptions or rumors about people as it can easily destroy their rep.

Also If i'm Jaime and I've been trying extremely hard on making my stream better, which we can see from this thread that its changed for the better and people are still thinking of reasons or making rumors that he's viewbotting I would have the same reaction.

When i've been watching recently I feel the chat is going quicker tbh. Selective memory.

Only way to prove this is to watch VOD's of his recordings before the 30 days of Christmas and VOD's of his recent streams and compare the the chat in both but even then thats not reliable lol.

Also Kmart has been streaming at a time that overlaps Staples as seen him live and heard him in Jaimes stream.

The recent Christmas streams have been much better quality and I'm glad that Jaime is having some success on the felt and with his stream. Will be interesting to see if this carries when the OG's are back.

Keep it up dude.

Some of ya'll need to unplug the computer and go outside. Worrying about view bots on a stream that gets 1k-4k viewers.

You can see how resulted oriented people can be. While Jamie was on a downswing, everyone harass him, telling how "awful he play", etc. Now that he is consistently winning again, even the tone of this thread has change.

You cant get monthly graphs from macro but here is the results from december. Must feel good to win again. Good for him.




And being results oriented you can't be surprised about that? People were talking about how he does stupid things instead of focusing on the game. Now he does that and wins in small mtts it ain't that interesting. And tbh this is the 2nd winning month this year. Still a long way to go. But he is finally on the right path for sure. Only cost him all of his profits on the way. Kappa.

People mainly the haters are the only ones pushing this false narrative that Pokerstaples is a losing/bad MTT poker player. Hate to break it to you, but he's a winning midstakes tournament player. He might not be a winning high stakes player but on the other hand he doesn't have billionaire Macau backers bankrolling him either.

Ever wonder why you don't see your average 2+2 poker player killing it on Twitch Poker? FYI it's hard to play winning poker while entertaining thousands of viewers. Many have tried yet there's literally 3-5 Twitch poker streamers capturing 90% of the viewers.

Since the the start of Pokerstaples 30 Christmas poker stream he's been #1 in viewers average 3-5 thousands viewers. 7-9 thousand when he gets deep.
Suffice to say Jaime's killing it!!!

Hate to break it to you but he is like the only 'big name' streaming atm. And you really can't say he is a winning midstakes mtt player after one good half of the month. Small probably yes but midstakes no. Atleast not yet.

E and no he does not have macau backers. Pokerstars backs him up.

Surprised to see he's only up 400$less than his 3.8k win

He's always cashing.. but yeah he's still playing really badly, making very basic mistakes and misunderstanding basic concepts..
would serve him well to play cashgames for a few months, its crazy how much even a winning low stakes mtt player is behind the lowest of the micro cash game players.

Currently watching his run in the 215 6max and it's been confirmed.. He's still a horrific poker player... Horrible post flop decisions... He will never learn, just not smart enough at this point in his career if he hasn't figured it out yet

I find it shocking how much common sense he lacks in post flop decisions... He has no clue how to decipher ranges and how to use his range... lol basic concepts of 2016 poker

the call down with 7x6d on 7d4h3dKh2d was not good, clear x/r or fold imo

Or that obv bluff with 4 to a straight with him having all the 8s in his range and he checks down with zero showdown value losing to 4th pair after villan shut down on turn... Very poor post flop decisions

everytime i open his stream for 5mins, he's deep somewhere with a good stack and 5mins later he's done 2-3 horrible calls where he justifies wiwth "this is a good bluff card, a lot of draw missed" when its the nut worse card to bluff and every draw hit. Most of the time its after calling some ****ty hand in the bb because "he has odds" vs a nit

that 67 hand and yesterday the AxxxA after getting raised, bet and shoved on the river by a reg in pos. He has a set 100% of the time.. the A isnt a good bluff card, its the easiest card to fold your AQ on.

Even though hes down lifetime, i have a feeling he's way above EV/distribution average

A positive note, I like the "Dreamers Inc." brand much better than the very cringeworthy "Dreamers Unite". He's got a good attitude and he's engaging the followers very well.

You seem to be purpously ignorant or maybe just uninformed but jaime has streamed every morning/afternoon , matt has streamed every night (sometimes day) and kevin has streamed almost daily.

Also to the people saying viewers are results oriented, that is true in lots of aspects but especially poker where people assume whoever is running hot is the best player in the world. It happens with video game stream viewers too where if a streamer/player has a few days of playing bad they assume that person needs to be kicked off a team / stop streaming etc

No. The only one streaming during my grind is Jaime. They probably have an agreement to not stream at the same time, like I said. Go ahead and hate me though.

Bandwidth issue I believe although it would also make sense to not all stream at the same time. Jamie mentioned a few times in his vlogs that he had to wait for someone to stop streaming before he could upload youtube clips because of a lack of bandwidth.

They're in Canada

It's a rental property so they may be stuck with whatever was already in the place and/or didn't want to sign up to a 12 month contract when they're not there for that long.
