It just sounds so salty. I barely watch the stream. There is no requirement on twitch that you have to be good. Poker is a brilliant game. If you think he is so bad, take less time beinga dbag and posting nonsense and go get your roi by playing the tournaments he is playing

i love the whole if hes so bad go play against him! lol not even going to get into this, besides to say im in the us of a so i cant. also, why all the hate for calling this dude out?

Because your assessment of his play is incorrect. And you either don't know any better or you are being a dbag. I suspect both.

Those who can, do. Those who can't post.

If you don't think he's very good, fine but the evidence suggests otherwise. He has a 10-year sample size that proves otherwise.

Help us out here. What exactly doesn't he do well? Be specific. Give concrete examples. Break down his play. You're asking if anyone agrees with you, but you're not giving us any evidence other than weak platitudes.

Thinking that Jason is bad at poker is just weird. Also he's been around for ages. He dumbs it down a lot and is looser for the stream, it's much more fun to watch him defend weak hands postflop than if he just said "meh gotta fold" and sat there. He stated a few times that he doesn't want to play higher stakes cash games and too serious stuff on the stream.

Side note, poker is very good at encouraging the line of thinking "I'm awesome and everyone else sucks", I really like that about poker.

plz tell me someone jsut saw him lose $500 on a plo hand where he called 220 all in on the flop with a pair of kings. omg. i have it on mute, but i see him trying to justify it aftwerwards. lol

Thanks for the thought-free response.

In the times I've watched the stream I've enjoyed it, and often appreciated hearing his thought process behind his valuations of opponent strength and of opponents view of his strength. I believe its helping my game.

Since you feel otherwise, I urge you to stop watching. As for your thread takeover, we all understand now how you feel, and simply re-iterating it again for the umpteenth time will not change anyone's mind in the manner you seem intent on doing.

why would i stop watching? its entertaining as ****. and i also feel like i get better bc i get to see how bad players explain their actions lol

But you have it on mute....

i usually dont have it on mute

but i bet i know what he was saying. "so well, i meann it cant be TOOOO bad to get it in here. i mean we were getting almost 3 to 1 so it just CANT be a bad call" lolol

Um hum..

Yeah, everybody knows you can't be critical of Jason's play in the Official JCarver Love Thread.

I really like the guy. He's incredibly entertaining, has a fantastic attitude, and is a much better hold'em player than I am but he is definitely very passive in a lot of spots.

The worst part about his stream is the chat feed. It's basically unwatchable 80% of the time.

By the way, Join Date: Mar 2015, please tell us you didn't start playing poker this year

+1.

lolol at folding hands with equity when you are getting 3 to 1 to call. GL in your poker adventures

except his 3/1 is like 1.8/1

started playing about two months ago...maybe that's why it's so easy for me to see how jcarvs plays like its 2007

didnt watch the hand, but getting 3 to 1 in plo in an allin situation? yes, that cant be too bad ma friend
+1 to suspecting however is both a douche and an idiot

Two months? Clearly, you already know it all as two months has been shown to be about all the time anyone needs to completely understand poker.

My apologies for thinking your criticisms flowed from being a d-bag and not your obvious mastery of the game. Please try to leave some money at the tables for the rest of us after you are done crushing; and, should you run into JCarver I beg you to show him mercy.

Want to post a couple examples, with links to the vods? Just so we can double-check the basic pot odds math.

I'm curious as to how only playing for two months qualifies you to ridicule other players (especially ones who had played professionally, has $6 million in tournament cashes, and a WSOP bracelet).

I'm assuming you're trolling, or just looking for an argument. Right?

:facepalm:

Having only played 2 months, how is it you know what play was like 8 years ago?

Having only played 2 months, how is it that you feel any criticisms you have of a professional player (with a winning record over a considerable sample size) is going to be taken seriously?

Lol, you really should stop posting imo

I will say...

Everybody has a style. JCarver does tend to call a lot more than some other players(both preflop and on the river). Even he has addressed that on stream at one point. But you also can't argue his success. I mean, he is +$33,000 on stream in the last 40 days or so.

If Vanessa Selbst had a stream, I'm sure we would be watching her make super uber-aggressive plays, light 3-bets, etc etc. And I'm sure she would be explaining the reasoning behind all of her decisions. .A style that is drastically different than JCarvers. But she would be very likely to be profiting as well.

So if you think that JCarver talking about the pot odds preflop, and calling in spots that may appear to be marginal, and that he plays hands differently than you (or other pros) would play them, then that is fine.

However, you can't really talk about him being a bad player, because his results sort of speak for themself. If anyone else has over $6 million in tournament cashes and has made +$33k in the last 40 days, then I'm sure they could critique JCarver all they want

watch the stream for a little bit. tell me with a straight face you think he is good at poker.

omg it doesn't matter how much he has cashed for. what don't you people understand. ugh

I've watched it for many days during this season. I think he is good at poker. My face is straight

What now?
