Him and JCarver were the key driving force to making Twitch poker popular and it's come along way and continues to grow as I type. So all this armchair quarterbacking with baseless assumptions like Jaime is broke and other rubbish needs to stop this instant!!!
Yes, Staples isn't Mr.Olympia,but he's addressed his weight issues and give the guy some damn credit for working to improve himself in all aspects of his life. The trolls and critics focusing on his appearance are jerks but they'll always be there on Twitch. You would be surprised how many of us Staples fans there are. There's a genuine sincerity with streamers like JCarver and Staples that sets them apart from say Doug Polk. The former are streaming for the love of the game while Polk is clearly in it to brag, peddle products/merchandise and bash other poker players i.e Dwan/Mercier/Ben86
What I find astounding about the haters is the fact everyone feels like it's okay to talk about Jaime's finances. Sorry, but that's nobodies business but Jaime's. Layoff already. And I want to dispel this common myth around 2+2 that Jaime is bad at poker. He's not, granted he's no Fedor Holz but Jaime holds his own and people are just being results oriented when they look at his past results. Are we going to dismiss WCG's atrocious non shove with 2's with under 10bb only to basically blind himself out of a 1million guaranteed buy-in tournament. I play poker casually and even I know you shove in that spot.
So yeah, I wanted to stick up for Staples because I've become disgusted at all the negative criticisms he's been getting. It's not right and he's a stand up guy.
Couldn't disagree with all this more tbh. Staples comes across as extremely false when he streams, well the few times i watched him at the start when there was no one else about anyway. It was obvious it wasn't himself when he was so PC never swore and catering to the pie in the sky viewers who think life is one big fairytale.
Don't forget all the adds and affiliate links you cant blame the guy for wanting to monazite his stream but it wasn't all genuine love for the game and it isn't with any streamer not calling him out there. They are there to make money pure and simple. You sound like the exact type of viewer that Jamie was targeting with your naive views. There is no father christmas and most people don't do something as time intensive as streaming unless they gain from it significantly sorry to break it to you.
The Vlogs seem to be more real but just be yourself when you stream drop a few F bombs when you get a bad beat or something don't try to please everyone by being so airy fairy its a obvious act.
Hes putting himself out there in public so people talking about his finances and whatever else is par for the course. Pretty easy way to not get discussed is not to be a youtube and twitch public figure u understand that?
Guess if you had your way no news or newspapers would ever get printed because
