It seems like the entire poker community is getting on Twitch. The Amazon-owned live streaming platform has been around since 2011; however, it has recently garnered interest from poker players around the globe; both uploaders and watchers. For the uninitiated, Twitch is an online platform, mostly used by gamers, to live stream their gaming activity where subscribers can interact with the streamer in real-time. Intuitively, this makes Twitch the perfect platform for poker players to share their hands and engage with viewers. Twitch is no longer a platform to follow tournaments and cash games but has in fact blossomed into a serious resource for learning poker strategy.
One might think that disclosing strategy online can be a deterrent to one’s gameplay and future success; however, there are ample number of poker players now who are more than willing to share their wisdom, build their brand, and also make some cash on the side! A few twitch streamers believe it is their way of giving back to the community while others feel that the way to grow is to share.
One doesn’t have to be a WSOP champion to produce good content or to give some great advice. The best streamers are articulate, entertaining, informative, and engaging. Let’s look at some of the popular as well as “non-stars” in random order who are worth subscribing:
Jason “JCarver” Somerville
Jason was the “first to act” on the Twitch scene and is by far the most popular poker player on the Twitch ecosystem with over 500 videos, 220000+ followers and over 21 million views. He has also live-streamed many popular poker events in the past.
Jason is a WSOP bracelet winner with over $4 million in live tournament winnings. His channel offers poker tutorials as well as tournaments for his subscribers. It’s a lot of fun and educational to listen to his live play-by-play commentary. Search for “runitup” and catch all his latest videos.
Jonathan “Jonathanlittle” Little
Jonathan Little is one of the best poker coaches out there and is the author of many best-selling poker books. He might not be as frequent as other streamers but offers great advice and coaching. I follow him on Twitch simply because I’ve been a fan of his teachings for a long time now. His sporadic Twitch streams are full of great advice and insights.
Felix “xflixx” Schneiders
Felix “xflixx” Schneiders’ Twitch channel is a great resource to learn poker strategy. Unlike many other “twitchers”, Felix is calm and offers great advice. Not only is he a very good poker strategist, he’s also a very good teacher.
On top of that, you can also win freerolls, get educational material as well as coaching sessions by subscribing to his channel.
Lex “RaSZi”Veldhuis
Simply put; Lex is a great teacher and a great entertainer as well. Thanks to his dynamic style and wit, his channel has roughly 95000+ subscribers. If you are looking for ABC poker, then you’ve reached the wrong channel!
Darius “KomodoDragonpkr” Wadja
Darius is sometimes called the “Godfather of Twitch poker” as he’s been on the platform since the beginning. He streams 3 times a week and offers great cash table advice.
Kevin “KevinMartin987” Martin
Kevin Martin is slowly and steadily gaining a lot of popularity on Twitch. He was a small stakes player earlier who has now gotten a PokerStars sponsorship. His huge following is testament to his poker acumen and friendly style.
Kevin lives with Jaime Staples and his younger brother Matt. There are times when the streams crossover, which makes it a lot of fun.
Jaime 'PokerStaples' Staples
Jaime Staples is one of the most active poker players on Twitch. He streams his poker hands almost every day and has a following of 110,000+ subscribers.
Jaime is regarded as one of the best on Twitch and is known to create great quality content.
Parker “TonkaaaaP” Talbot
Parker is considered to be one of the best high-stakes streamers on Twitch. No wonder, he’s been signed by 888poker. Though TonkaaaaP doesn’t have those many videos as other popular streamers, he still has over 85,000 followers.
I like his humor, which might not be to everyone’s taste; however, his poker talent is undeniable. His dry wit and animated antics are awesome; and so are the followers. Not only do you get a good laugh following Parker, you also get to learn quite a bit about tournament play.
Arlie “Arlie Shaban” Shaban
Arlie recently became a full-time poker player and streamer on Twitch. Arlie became famous for streaming 1000 hours of poker in 125 consecutive days which led to him amassing over 12,000 followers.

His explosive growth can be attributed to his easy-going attitude and a passion for poker. I like his stream for his light-hearted approach to poker blended with a great strategy. If you play mid-stakes MTT, you could benefit quite a bit from watching his stream.
Peter “Peter804” Thompson
If you’re a cash player looking to improve your game, following Peter804 will be time well spent. He mostly plays mid/high stakes cash games and grinds for several hours every day.
Peter tries to interact as much as possible with the community. He is known to answer all questions and do complete hand analysis while streaming. Don’t be fooled by his casual approach; he knows his stuff!
According to Peter, streaming his game keeps him motivated to improve his game and help his audience at the same time.
