And yes, as Don said, there is a chatbox for anyone to ask questions. I'll have the stream on like a 2-3 minute delay just so no-one on my table could watch the stream and know what hand I have while playing a hand against me but my audio will be in sync with that delay so you won't be hearing me explain my thought processes about a hand that happened 2-3 minutes earlier, it will all be in sync.
I'm always happy to answer any questions, whether it's about a hand I played, something more general about poker/how I got started/playing full time, or just favourite TV shows... The more viewer interaction the better, it flows a lot better when people get involved and I'm not just sat talking to myself lol.
Just finished my first stream and it went pretty well. Started a bit slow but I managed to finish 4th in a $33 FO on stars so that probably helped and I peaked at about 40 viewers towards the end which I'm told is pretty good going for a first show.
I'll be back again Friday morning or Friday night. If you follow me on there then you'll get an email when I go live anyway.
Ill have a gander Friday.. This twitch thing changes the game really, if you become a partner the money from advertising can be pretty good. If you can sustain the stream for long periods of time.

Yeah it is pretty tough trying to have a conversation with yourself like lol... unless you've lost the plot.
Talking about the games is fine, but then a lot of the time it's like 'yehh fold pre' and you can only fit 4 tables on at a time so was trying to fill it up with just updates of how I'm getting on in other comps off stream that I'd move over to the stream once I'd bust one of the 4 on the stream etc. Either way, tbh I expect I'm gonna be pretty bad at it at first, cos it just aint that easy, just gotta stick at it, get experience etc.
Yeah was a lot better once a few more joined, even just 1 person asking questions is decent cos it takes a while to reply, and you're talking about the games too, then your reply probably sparks another question and it just flows.

Erm.. I think you can view streams and chat in the chatbox without becoming a member (I think you'd show up as 'Guest' instead a username you'd pick), but to 'Follow' a twitch user so that you get email notifications of when they go live you need to sign up. It's free thuogh and takes probably 60 seconds.

I should be fine then lol
Update for my stream, was planning a small tester tonight. Set up second monitor etc to make it easier, got some help from a friend with some basic things. BOOM, mic is broke. So asked my lovely other half to pic me one up tomorrow while shes down town, so she's going to but will be a pretty poor quality mic i'd have thought due to current budget constraints.
