I'm assuming you didn't see the early parts of the stream. Early on he was being brutalised by the variance. Losing when ahead, flipping and when behind.

Any run good later on will only have partially redressed the chip EV balance.

sick cold 5 bet with 10 10 to all that EP action LMAO

Ya that guy was a total fish and spewed off all those chips he won, Bigdog was left with 10bbs after that hand and Jay had almost 100 with 12 left and the chip lead. Bigdog finished 6th and Jay finished 9th.

Jay put in a 1k hyper session right after as well.

streaming some plo mtts starting in just a second, including the monday 530 plo on stars... some nlhe will be mixed in too as i need mtts

Would appreciate any comments/feedback for whoever has seen my twitch streams. Thanks! =)

you are a sick grinder, but your streams are really boring tbh lol

Everytime i check it out you are grinding some micro garbage or $5 mtt. How about some highstakes?

I suspect your tuning in on the few times I'm running some random spin n go haha. I do stream some cash games too mistakes up to 5/10 on occasion you must've missed it. Thanks for the feedback though I do appreciate it

DutchBoyd's final table review of HPT is the most educational Twitch session I've seen so far, the polar opposite of bigdogpkt5s burping continuously. I'm thinking of subscribing for the first time ever on Twitch. When he emails his "DRM-free copy of Poker Tilt book", do I simply click on a link and I can read his book on my iPad?

sup dutch

Nano,

I have watched you on three separate occasions for probably a little over four hours and find you to be the "best" streamer behind jcarver because you have taken (or already had... it is merely an observation not accusation) what works best from his stream and applied it to your own:

1. One table featured so that everything is easy to see (I watch it on a television using Roku and realize you are also playing many other tables at the same time);
2. You give genuine insights into your thinking that allows those watching to improve their game; and
3. You are positive and upbeat about the process while also personalizing it with real-world issues (runs to the bathrooms during the break, wife issues, sleep problems, et cetera). While I am certain playing is "work" for you I also have no doubt from watching that you love the game and the intellectual component of it as I do.

If you want to improve the viewing experience while still being yourself (because, really, would you want to do it with a fake persona?) I would probably have a certain part of your stream involve you just playing ONE table (label it "the one hour one table") so that you can focus on your commentary/insights. Also, I would try to more regularly remind viewers for what stakes you are playing (either by saying it and your win totals for the day more frequently or by showing the pay-out structure in tournies as both add some real tension and drama in a "will he make the next pay jump or won't he" way).

Best of luck. You seem like a good guy and I wish you well in both your play and your stream. Hope my comment helps.

Agree. It was very good and a surprise considering what I have come to learn about him from twoplustwo. I also tried watching the "bigdog" stream yesterday for the first time and was put off by his unpleasant personality and hygiene issues (my wife saw it and asked, "why are you watching a guy who looks like an off-duty bouncer from a cheap strip joint play poker"?) I will give Dutch another try, but my eyes will not again be gazing upon bigdogpkt5s's belly as he stands up after hitting a set of 5s.

Glad you guys enjoyed it. I didn't watch so I can't comment on the validity of Dutch's analysis.

Personally, I'd rather watch a fat guy who's made a healthy living strictly from poker playing the biggest tournaments than a chubby bald guy who stole from players who believed in him and now plays $10MTTs.

any good nl holdem cash streamers?

btcblade mixes in some $2/$4, $5/$10, $10/20 cash - 6max + FR - on wsop, bovada and black chip. smart, interesting guy if you can look past his nose-picking and zit-popping. and he wiped his dog's butt on camera the other day. prepare for bitcoin sermons. he's unique.

I don't like the AK dance to be honest, I think it should stop.

With regard to game play, I find the one tabling on screen very slow viewing, that's a large part of the reason I haven't subscribed, and the same reason I havent subscribed to JCarver.

I think two tables of either cash or MTT action would be better.

going live for a bit streaming spin & gos if anyone wants something to watch

Thanks a bunch for the feedback guys! It's insightful although the AK dance might not go away lol. Still yet to decide if 1-2 tables is better but I think I can focus on commentary better when it's just one because I'm often grinding SNE at the same time. Regardless thanks again and would appreciate any other comments

Will be streaming everyday for next few days until April 4th fyi

nano! watched your stream while playing and it was awesome! queens hand was gross AK dance easily the best. I did it myself when I had them lol

Just a suggestion, how about including a link to your twitch any time you go live and post? Makes it easier for peeps to find you so they don't gotta search for it. Let me help...

ty, I had posted it a few times before and didnt want to seem too spammy (didn't know thread rules), and knew it would show up on the right hand side



thanks a ton to everyone on the stream tonight, by far the most fun one so far

BigDog plays pretty much everything. From micro stakes rebuys to midstakes to higher stakes MTTS, he plays them all.

Dutch plays on WSOP.com in LV and they don't really offer big tourneys at all on their client.

FTR, I am a huge fan of BigDog55's stream. Easily one of the most entertaining poker streams on Twitch.

Pffft.
We must have a different definition of "entertaining."

Clearly you are entitled not to watch him, but yesterday you likely caught him on an off day, he'd final tabled a big BI event and had been up to the early hours, having not slept well due to the nature of the grind (even as a nano stakes player I can sympathise with that as decisions and results roll around your head).

He has a lot of subs now and he did at least try and put on a stream for them.

As for his attitude, I find that refreshing, there is nothing comparable that I've seen on twitch. I like the other people will 'clean cut' approaches that I had mentioned above but BigDog is good too.

BigDog is the man. His stream is the best for entertainment purposes. Sign up for training sites if you want to talk about ranges.
