Yup, this. Attracting new players is a bonus.

professional gamers and people who like watching professional gaming are not the target audience you want to attract to poker, use your head.

Dunno if you've ever read a twitch chat that tries to analyse plays in any game; there are plenty of potential fish/whales watching twitch.

The only thing they have done for the HU lobby was doubling the rake so yeah I agree that they are oblivious. Good post

I wouldn't mind a bunch of gamers depositing $50 or $100 every so often in the hopes of becoming rich from it. They might not be the "ideal" target audience, but I'm sure it's a net positive to have them playing. I've seen smart people play poker and play it horribly, just because someone is good at something else, doesn't mean it will translate to poker.

In a perfect world every player brought into the game would be a mega-drooler. I honestly don't mind playing against someone who is semi-competent though. But yes, I would love to be playing droolers all the time too.

And this too.

lol

is there a review of the first session (big hands etc) posted anywhere?

Damn, hope she's worth it.

She'll be limping tomorrow

+1 The streets need to hear from their self elected king!

Both players 3x pf? Is that back?

I want to bet 400 on donger, let me know what price you offer

im confused, can you use UK parlance, Im not sure if you are betting for donger to win or for him to lose

I have no idea what you mean, sorry! Dont know all these betting terms.

I bet that donger wins and I am willing to put 400$ on it vs your somethingsomething

They are taking today off from the challenge for DK to spend time with his GF for VDay. I've seen people already ask a bunch on what the current total is. I will keep a graph and count of the updated total in the details on my Twitch page so that people can have a place to find it easily.


Maybe Pokerstars could make a page dedicated to the challenge and keep an updated total, possibly a link to the interview they posted on the blog, possibly big hands of the match (idea for PS*** ding ding, if you CBB I will get it done in less than 10 mins for you ) as they are "sponsoring" the challenge. Also please allow people to reload to 150k at the special tables in the future


Converting the twitch vids to youtube makes them split it up. I'm going to see if I can make this form into one long video for the future. Although Youtube GTO might be to upload multiple vids at once/shorter length but it seems like that will make my overall video page a bit chaotic.

Thankkkkk You, this is perfect


I've gone back and forth on if it is a good thing for poker. I started out thinking what a couple other people said that it might not be the best thing but after seeing some of the comments I don't think that should really be a worry.

bang bang

I'm not sure about this. Rekful is pretty fishy when he plays on Bovada, he's a gamer with a large Twitch following and one of the smarter ones at that. Although he seems to have a lot of money to throw around so mb he doesn't take it as seriously as another gamer with more limited funds might. As for the fans who rail the pro gamers, they're likely to be less skilled and it would be even more desirable to have them as new depositors imo. Not to mention that there are way more fans/spectators of pro gaming than there are pro gamers.

BDDK in the house

There's also Stickyrice1 who streams NL sometimes who is, uh, probably not in the top 15 HUNL power rankings...
