Hi guys just wondering if anyone streams on twitch? I know allot of pokerstars players are up there .. For those who are unaware of twitch its basicly live streaming of someone playing online poker give it a google
But thought it would be nice to watch some players maybe get a session a week with tikay haha but it would awsome be brilliant in terms of getting new players to the site and I think any should jump on the twitch wagoon sooner than later its picking up massive audiences and getting bigger and bigger
Cheers

I started up on Twitch about 2 months ago streaming my own play on Sky, discussing what I was doing/why I was doing it. Annoyingly I had to stop after the first session because I wanted the stream to be Sky based comps really and I started having connectivity problems with Sky where it just wouldn't let me log in at all, despite playing on 2-3 other sites at the same time.
All those problems are fixed now though so I'm gonna be starting it up again, with the first 'show' being probably tonight or tomorrow.
I mostly play MTTs these days so that's what I'll be streaming, fwiw my Sky evening 'schedule' is roughly...
7pm - £22BH
7:45pm - £11BH
8pm - £33BH (or other main event)
8:15pm - £11BH
8:30pm - £11BH
9pm - £55BH
9:30pm - £11BH
10:15pm - £22BH
10:30pm - £55BH (MBI)
So that should be plenty of games to keep it going from like 7/8pm - midnight+

Have thought about streaming myself, but I believe the PC requirements are quite high (i.e. higher than my netbook).
Is it possibe to chat to the host at the same time?
yes during a stream theres a chat box on the right hand side, alot of streamers will keep an eye on this and reply when they see. Often action is on a delay so you may have to wait for your reply
I would do tomorrow night but I think given it's the last ever show on 861, everyone is gonna wanna watch that. I'll probably do a little 'dry run' for tomorrow's morning session, but that'll be stars/888/party cos there is literally zero comps worth playing on Sky in the mornings. Dunno how many people will be around like 9am - 3pm like so might be a quiet one, but then hopefully get a decent turn out when I stream on Friday night.
A forum schedule is a decent idea if a few people wanna get involved like, either way I'll post up on my diary/twitter/FB when I'm gonna do a 'show'.
