Most streamers are low level winners looking to supplement income - not everyone but that's the majority.
Do you think it s possible to stream without showing my actual plays and without giving my thought process?
Of course those are needed to stream so i can't choose to hide/mute that. Stats however are optional so at least that is something that i can choose to block so that I limit a small portion of information given.
My stats are actually not blocked, i just do not use graph as a way to advertise.
I only blocked GG stats because it s 90% of my volume now. GIven there's no HUDs, and fields are very reggy, there is a big advantage of not letting others know you're also a reg. Specially when GG has a lot of recs now.

In 5 streams, i already cashed for 80k and up 40 ish i think. Multiple FTs /wins and all while talking /interacting with chat non stop except when i was Heads up.
I am hoping that this would be enough to get some attention but I actually think you're right :/ it seems like it's necessary to click bait people with stats but I havent done it yet.
Not many people are willing to give it a try and watch, then judge the content. Poker players are both lazy and driven by efficiency. Therefore a typical viewer wants to see someone is a big winner, then they'll decide that it's worth giving the stream.is a try.
Just wanted to have a discussion about reasons behind hiding stats.
I dont mran to spam/advertise my channel by the way so wont post link. I have 2 threads about if you're curious. Im very open to criticism so feel free to PM me suggestions.
