Poker Night in America Twitch.tv $25/50- cash game - YouTube Podcasts & Twitch Streams -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Private $25/50 cash game running with some big name pros:

Bart Hanson doing the commentary. Pretty cool that it's a no-rake game, hopefully there's some action!

It made the front page of Twitch, so it might also bring in some new blood. Streaming from noon to midnight today and tomorrow.

How can companies spend so much money on stream and yet do such a **** job? I mean most of twitch streamers are amateurs doing it better.

This stream has been on "break" for more than 15 minutes now with 10k people on it...

Yeah the table mics have been a pretty big fail. Some great action tho.

In fairness, the setup is significantly more complicated than just a single person twitching out online play.

How is Jaime rolled for this game? Must be Stars and/or sold action. From micro stakes to $25/$50 live lol. Not trying to hate just not exactly a game you'd expect him in from all of his thoughts on BR management/game selection.

To be fair as a tourney player he probably doesn't feel to comfortable playing that deep. He has to be staked though, especially to sit with this class of players.

This dude is literally living the dream though, grinding micro stake tourney's 4 months ago, blows up on Twitch, Gets pokerstars sponsorship, binks a decent tourney, now is sitting at 25/50 in Vegas with Nanoko, Carver, Laak, O'brien, Helmuth, Elky and Ho. Holy **** I am pretty jealous of his success over the last few months for sure.

Also, I bashed the stream earlier but they seemed to get the audio fixed and all is good now!

Lmao at abernathy getting in booth with hanson. The table mic fail is nothing compared to the fail of having abernathy commentate without her face on the screen.

Hahahahahha now abernathy says her normal game is Aria 2/5 and 5/10. This couldn't be further from the truth. This stream is just all kinda of funny.

I'm not buying that one. Had to be a graphics error.

seems weird that at the end of the night, paying the dealers was left up to the players.
laak, who ended up stuck, basically told jcarver and whoever else won to take care of it. jcarvs seemed willing to do it.
maybe poker night in america told the players in advance that they were responsible?
and what about the players who left early - dnegs, hellmuth, maria ho, dan obrien?
anyway, just seemed kinda unorganized, like the 4 hours of no audio at the beginning.

Some high stakes players tip at the end of a session vs tipping for every single hand you win. The room still paid the dealers but they are like waiters and make the real money off tips.

What a fun day, thanks all for the rail. I ended with 21K, I think Somerville, Scott Ball, and Elky were up at the end of the day. A few misconceptions.

JJ was a misread by the card reader. I'm obv not folding that hand UTG lol.

I have 69% of my self

There is a learning curve with every stream getting the production up to snuff. I think it ended up fine.

Tomorrow should be fun, thanks for the sweat.

I think the streamers should've had to be their streaming personas when playing.

Elky rabbiting on at tedious length about a mouse and 'so sick', everytime Nanonoko got AK he had to do the dance, Jaime shouting Vamos every 13 seconds on average.

disclaimer: Watched thirty seconds and gave up.

All of us could make perfect "bhoylegend" streams but that's not what the audience wants man. Run it once is what you are looking for. The Dry strategy market isn't on twitch yet. For high level strategy check out Jpatche.
