Hi Jaime, hope this finds you well. I watched the first 10 mins of your response video from a couple weeks ago and it makes me feel bad man. I think you care way too much about what everybody thinks and you are letting the haters eat at you.

You spoke briefly about your confidence and I think you should be able to get confident enough where you don't care about what others think. Just be you and do your thing dude. I have watched your stream before (wealth_11) and think you are providing great free entertainment and content. If people are hating just ban them from stream. There should be zero tolerance for negativity. Stay positive man (#1 most important thing in life) and I wish you the best in your pursuit of better health.

In other words,....JS77, go back to posting on your main account.

And thus, the sad little trolls go side hopping off in the direction they came, scraggly tails dangling between their legs.

Nice one PP.

Fair point the ad hominem attacks made it repetitious. Perhaps you could deal with these as they are pretty unpleasant.

arent his samples close to irrelevent?
people are using his sharkscope sample to determine if he is a winner or not... but given the ******ed variance in MTTs, results should be the last thing we look at

Lol what? Every freaking situation there is its like : aaaand here is the Jimmy Grinder with x ammount of millions in cashes.

Anyways if we don't look at cashes what do we look at mtts? Total roi? That ain't sexy enough for the media or the players who sells action.

and could you imagine the trolls reaction if Staples mentioned having 750k in online cashes in the same stream where he says he's selling action...end of days

you could look at bb/100 win rate and All in EV bb/100 to see exactly how he is playing throughout his stars career.

Seems really simple.

how many subs does tonka have, jamie staples, jason somerville?

Great article Jaime, I hope to see you streaming a ton during Scoop.

There are a ton of players selling action on 2+2 that are -ev in the schedule they are selling for. In my opinion whatever the market will bear is a fair markup, if people want to invest in negative or neutral ev players that is their prerogative as long as players stats are not blocked. People should not get flamed for offering pieces of their action at markup, if the public doesn't like it they shouldn't buy a piece.

He looks so much healthier in that 1st pick. Streaming starting to show.

Jaime has a great gig currently...a lot of subs + poker stars sponsorship (assuming big rake back). If I were him I would be grinding much harder - he seems to not be playing on twitch as much as he was. Eventually those two revenue streams will be gone and he's going to have to make it from poker or go home.

All the guys in that house seem genuinely nice but I don't think any of them will make it in poker. Kevin mentioned last night he's down in 2016. Assuming he clears $30K from Twitch a year and then ~$10K in donations from a couple of the Aussie women who control his stream - - not really living the high life there.

well kevin is playing micro stakes after all... gotta start somewhere, does not strike me as the type of guy who is going to crush poker ever but I may be wrong
05-01-2016 , 12:15 PM
I thought kevmart was a live cashplayer before twich.

There's also ad revenue from Twitch, and Jaime has ad revenue from his youtube vids as well. He's also had some other sponsorships, with Poker Market, and formerly Jivaro. Can see how it could be tempting to want to focus on all those other revenue streams. Youtube and Twitch seem to be growing, while poker seems to be dying. Although poker's at the heart of his streams, so it must be a tricky thing to try to find the right balance.

What happened to strangerange AKA postfloprepop AKA fthustla420 AKA Nimas posts?

they were deleted because he claimed jaime viewbotted and in FTh420's mind the establishment is against him.

I, however, don't believe that FTh420s claims are far from the mark regarding jaime/jcarver. Both streams while being less engaging and intresting than tonkaaaa/upswing(polk) start with 500/2k viewers respectivly - are there really that many people sitting waiting on jcarvers every, repetative, word?

Tonk/UpSw start at under 100 viewers every time and steadily build, but because of FTh420s slight lunacy his more accurate claims are brushed aside.

Because polk and tonka are better at poker, they should have the most most viewers...right? That's how twitch works. That's how the world works.

Annnnnnnd what's the deal with poker sites sponsoring players who aren't top 50 in the world? I thought it was supposed to be like little league baseball all star teams. Only the best make it! (And the coach's sons)

Hes got a small window right now, he should grind as much as he can and drop out of school. Accumulate as much easy money as you can now.

As for KevMartin. Hes got a good gig too, considering he stinks at this game.

I would equate multi-accounting 2p2 to bolster your position to view botting.
05-02-2016 , 01:36 PM
the rants last 2 nights.
least Jamie tried to defend himself somewhat logically. Not sure if there is any truth to it (him viewbotting)
but arguing with a mentally unstable idiot won't help him
