PokerStars Support hilariously 'trolling' Tonka. Meanwhile a viewer complains they've had to wait over 30 minutes for help with a HU deal. Sounds about right.

Wtf is that seriously? Would be pissed if something like that happened to me while grinding and streaming. Enough distractions allready.

Lol at the idiot who thought that was the Flash

He's 14/50 left in the Sunday Million.

^running like god

Hyper SNG graph for 2017 so far.

jesus christ, i don't think it's possible to run any better than this guy. Turning or flopping nuts nonstop, unreal. Flat 3b with 45s, flop A23 rbow. Cbet K99 with 44, gets minraised, calls and turns a 4 and stacks opponent with Q9 on Ace river. Seriously, i just watched for like 10 minutes and saw him flopping a set in FT bubble, next hand turn trips and standard stuff like that.
He is entertaining and fun watch, but running godlike helps a ton.

Currently on one of the biggest downswings of his career but okay.

Yea i take that back, continued to watch and he ran abysmal at late stages. Still doesn't mean he didnt sunrun early, all those deep runs are indication of that.
Superfun guy tho

when you play a lot of poker, swings are gonna happen #surprise

best and only twitch channel I watch on the reg, keep it up tonkaaa!

this.

Been watching some lately and you just kill me sometimes, hilarious stuff.

Friday for Tonka

Tonka has been popular to others even me. His skill is good and very entertaining. In no time his spot will raise in no time.

tonka moving on from streaming or is he still around and ive just missed him?

He's still streaming, most recent stream was this wednesday.

Still streaming and signed with 888. Good to see Tonkaaaa is doing well. Best streamer out there if you ask me. Very motivating also.

I find Tonka entertaining but don't you guys think his recent plays are really questionable? I don't play tournaments all that often but to me his shove in the super tuesday today looked really bad.

Such a shame that Tonka hasn't had a deep run in one of the bigger tournaments in a while....

I only watch Parker Talbot's stream once in a blue moon now. If he runs super deep in a semi-size tournament he'll get my view. His stream has suffered because of changes and this is to be expected. Tonkaaaa's stream is a growing stream and I will freely admit it's a top 3 Twitch poker stream.

The disconcerting problems are many. I see troubling signs starting to surface. The first was the viewers buying poker stakes into Tonkaaaas tournaments. Obviously this is an +EV move for Parker because his viewers are paying a high markup to see potential cashes & final table sweats. It's kind of like a freeroll in a sense. It's one of the reasons why Tonkaaaa isn't a nit. Of course this is more exciting for viewers because this play style isn't boring to watch. For example, compare Tonkaaaas decision making to another streamer like BParis who is a very tight player. Both are winning players, but watching BParis' steam is literally like watching paint dry.

Another important note is Tonkaaaa is most assuredly getting burnt out from grueling 10+ hour streaming sessions of poker. I don't care if you're the sickest MTT grinder streaming and playing winning poker isn't the cakewalk everyone thinks it is. This is one of the main reasons why Negreanu, Isildur, Hellmuth, Haxton, Polk, Selbst quit after trying their hands at streaming on Twitch. It's hard work!!

Even though I'm not a "Team Never Lucker" I do give Parker credit. Unfortunately from what I've seen as of recent it looks like his stream is likely to suffer. He found a girlfriend from Sweden and seems to devote weeks of his time to her. I think Tonkaaaa's come to the point where he's made enough money to quit streaming if he chooses. He's probably banking hard on YT videos and streaming 1-2 weeks a month will be enough. His 888 sponsorship is another win so I can see his clothing, Twitch,YT, 888 revenue are passive forms to generate enough for him to stop streaming on a daily basis.

Tonkaa conf. pussy whipped by his GF

If it takes you until your mid 20s to find someone who wants to sleep with you then it's no wonder they become a priority.

Parker looks tortured whenever he deigns to stream nowadays, as though he'd rather be anywhere else. Feels like 888 signed him at just the wrong moment.

Well if you have to choose between getting laid or streaming to several thousand idiots I think most of us chooses the option one. And maybe the overall homeymoon with poker and twitch is coming to an end?
