I hope this aint true, cause that means the site can control who wins and what cards come, let me go back into my 'believe in the game' world

congrats either way taking this thing down 2x in a month, hmm that too doesnt seem real :-)

Whenever im feeling low self esteem i log onto 2+2 to gain back my self esteem. All the jealous haters on this site gives me instant gratitude that i am not them.
Congrats kid. Well earned and well deserved.

Congrats Jamie - curious to know if you'll be able to grind other sites still or only PS?

Thanks Maverick. It was a pretty fun day

Ya I guess that does seem sort of weird from the outside. It's really just because playing a full schedule every week and then adding in the twitch workload, and there isn't much time to take care of life things. I suck at life things anyways so why not hook my brother up with his first job!

Thanks man

This Thanks for always chilling Bhoylegend

Thanks you guys

I'm going hard! It's not quite 12 hours a day but 8 hours of poker 5 days a week. The twitch/youtube stuff is separate. I really enjoy what I do and its such a new opportunity. I don't want to miss out by slacking. Iv'e always been a very one dimensional kind of person so finding something like this is really enjoyable for me.


Thanks you guys

I actually think Im fairly aggro BR wise. I'm not backed so I have all the risk. The WSOP is awesome but I don't want to not stream for 2 months so a little of both is better I think.

I understand what your saying man. Poker and broadcasting to me is like what that startup was to you like you suggested. Im sure you remember nothing else mattering at the time.

Thanks man

Other then 1K online event at the WSOP I will be on the road to Supernova this year. In the future I will be able to play FTOPS and stuff but I don't think it will ever be the main part of my grind

I watched last night and at one stage he showed the set up he has in his grinding room and it was very professional including lighting system and what not. He has obviously put alot of effort into this so i'm delighted for him and you could see how chuffed he was.

For all the jealous haters Pokerstars made the choice not him so hate on them and not him. They obviously look at people who take the initiative and put alot of effort in just like jcarverpoker.

Congrats on yesterday Jamie and you mentioned last night how you were trying to work on your health. Maybe use the last few days as motivation for that and set yourself targets in all areas for the rest of the year. Busy schedule you have but you need to be fit and healthy for all the work you put into your streams. Gl.

Can you enlighten us how the sponsorship went down a little bit? Not the terms but how it was offered to you etc.

you considering adding a bit of mass tabling of 180's to up your rake paid for SN?

Here is the setup in its current form. Always upgrading




Definitely always trying to improve. Fitness/health is something I have never been great at. I'm trying to approach it from the same rational perspective as poker so I think its going to work out Thanks for the advice

I received a phone call one morning out of the blue. No idea it was coming at all and realized this was a job interview (that I wasn't ready for.) It ended up being fine though and wasn't to nerve wracking. After that there was some back and forth and eventually signing.

I have been adding 10-20 18man/180mans at the end of my sessions to help out but I want to do as much as possible with tournaments. I really like tournaments

Congrats. Enjoy the stream.

Hey 8 hours a day sounds a lot! better to me the 12+!! hours, that is quite a difference.

But hey i think doing what you love to do is almost all a person needs to be happy, and a good way to live your life[except if you love to use heroine or crack or serial killing or sh.t like that off-course lol if you know what i mean], no matter what others think, like the saying goes "you can't make everybody happy"

O man when i think about my starting days of my business, i can't believe i survived the first 2 years, but also the satisfaction/joy of knowing that you are going to make it in a business[import/export of anything that is worth a buck and can make a buck on] you love to do, 20 hours days where the rule other then a exception the first 2 years, and playing poker to finance some deal, rather then loaning it from friends or family, many days right from the table to work, yea that feeling of making a profit of money earned at the poker-table instead of borrowed money is something special i tell you!, because i love poker and loved the job i did.

Would not have missed it for anything, despite of having no life next to work for the first 2 years, making money one time by breaking your back by moving product, and the other time making the same amount by just making 2 phone-calls, one day talking to a German a other to a Englishman then a Greek or Frenchman, and the one day buying and selling containers with 5 complete holiday cabins in it, and the other day a container with 2 million screws in it, there was nothing else that made me happier then that at that time, and not much other things do i must say.

But one thing i advice you, always be honest, it is the best[and for me the only] way, to be successful and it always pays more in the end/long run, i am convinced of that, because cheaters and thieves i have seen coming and going in the dozens over the years, in poker and business, and always work to live, never live to work.

All the best to you, and all the luck, you might not need it, but it is so nice to have it once and a while.

Congrats Jamie! Way to work hard and have it pay off.

To anyone who says he doesn't deserve it - you just don't get it.

The days of just showing up and getting a patch because you're an excellent player are for the most part over. You have add value to the brand now. Jamie was an early adopter to a technology that is popular with a whole new demographic of potentially new players.

all your poker heroes were frauds

Really smart signing by Stars. Since he has so much charisma people that normally watch video games on Twitch have become interested in Poker by getting hooked on his stream. I see a ton of value in this deal for both Stars and Jaimie. Glad to see it happen.

Bingo!

I've been using twitch to de tilt and it works really well.

Wouldn't playing an hour per day of mid stakes cash games be kinda a win-win-win for you?
Really helping out with that SNE grind. Would help you improving post flop play (not that I'm anywhere near good enough to comment on that, but in theory it should for a MTT grinder shouldn't it?) and would also make a diversity in your streaming content, pleasing cash game loving viewers.

Congrats on the the sponsorship, really happy to see pokerstars realizing how huge twitch streaming has become and capitalizing on it.

I think he does deserve it and he's a pretty nice guy from what i see. Lets face it he's a consistent streamer who always puts up numbers Him, Jcarver and Bigdog are usually the top 3 twitch poker streams with Jcarver getting the most and either Staples or Bigdog 2nd or 3rd.

As to what benefit it will have in the poker community i think it will have a pretty significant benefit. People are always asking questions about what sites to play on and he provides it along with alot of answers to strategy. I think it will bring in poker players how many i don't know but since its on twitch where gamers are more likely to transition over to poker it could add more players to the poker economy.

congrats and all the best on your carrer/startup!!!

everyone is a pokerstars player nowadays, it should be a group with 10 top players or so, instead its like 100 players,even girlfriends of players etc like acoimbra and girlfriiend...

This is brilliant. I think.

He interacts with his viewers, people can watch him play, and try and emulate him. My only beef with any of these streams is the amount of strat they sometimes give away, but c'est la vie.

Bottom line: getting gamers into poker is a good thing.

Sidenote: Cool Half Dome background.

agree there are way too many pokerstar sponsored pros. But I think this one is a benefit to the poker community.

What's the difference between friend of pokerstars and team online?
