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.
Thanks Wild

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.
It would definitely help me get there. Most of the time I try and tailor my stream to what people want to watch. Im known for tournaments, and most people want to watch tournaments, so I think I have to stick to that on stream. It sucks because I would like to do more niche things every once in a while but the casual demo just isn't interested and it muddies the "stream brand" a bit I think. Tournaments every time is more memorable.

Congrats man, watch for the first time yesterday and i was suprised with how much i enjoyed it. I watched some others to like barry greenstein and some guy with sunglasses on, and dear god.. that was boring. You and Jcarver are def the best poker streamers atm
Unlucky on the $20k last night, was really hoping you'd bink another.
Even my GF (who doesn't play/understand Poker) enjoys watching your stream, she finds you very personable
Keep up the good work, VAMOS!
MattVanDam,
Jamie is an internet "celebrity" that binks thousand dollar plus tournies as often as you fart and now is gainfully employed as someone sponsored by a billion-dollar company.
Hold that girl tight, Matt, because it sounds like she wants to get nailed by a Staple.

Thanks Eltin. It takes a while to put out a good stream I think. There is a lot of technical hurdles at the beginning. A bunch of the new streams (like Barry G) will get better over time I think.

Thanks Your girlfriend is safe but I'm a fan.
I just made a Vlog about the day with the last couple minutes of HU if anyone wants to check it out: https://youtu.be/kctbcPplmhE
I want to see him rage once. There is no way an almost professional golfer and current poker player doesn't have a blow up every now and then.
A few days ago I saw him replay a clip of a short moment of rage. Then he made fun of himself and told the stream it's okay to get frustrated sometimes. The man isn't pretending to be perfect, which makes him even more likeable.
