I’m sure most of you guys know about Tyler and all of his achievements, but for those who don’t i’ll just give a quick background before we start. Tyler is one of very few players to have made Supernova Elite on Pokerstars in his first year of going pro. While he was grinding all these hours he was also writing very popular blog, regularly posting his results for each week which got him some well earned recognition in the poker world, which alongside his results at the tables lead to him being selected to join the Team Online roster among the likes of Ike “Holllywood” Haxton and Randy “Nanonoko” Lew.

Tyler still continues to update his blog to this day but has now branched out to arguably more popular was of connecting with viewers and decided to start up on Twitch. His streams bring in a decent viewership but nowhere near as many as he deserves with the great content Tyler is putting out. When Frosty first started on Twitch he concentrated solely on cash games, but recently is testing the waters playing MTT’s. MTT’s will normally pull in more viewers on Twitch because of the buzz of turning a small amount of money potentially into something huge. Tyler has had no “big” scores on stream to date, although he did ship the $10.50 KO on Stars but i believe he did it off stream. I’m sure we will be seeing a lot of deep runs and big scores in the near future from the man himself.


One of the best features of Tyler's stream is the educational value of it. Even if he is grinding a few tables he will still go through any of your Boom Player hands when there is a break in the action or a tournament break. To have a Team Pro analyse your hand for free is great and Twitch is one of the only and no doubt the easiest platform to do this. Another great feature on the stream is the cash challenges, one of which being the ladder challenge where Frosty will start off with $2 at 2nl and every time he makes a buy in for the next level he will move up (for example when he makes $5 at 2nl he will move up to 5nl and so on) until he either busts or reaches 200nl. The challenge always makes for a good sweat when he's at 100nl trying to make that last ladder.


Throwback to when Tyler made SNE in 2011.
Tyler is dedicated to helping his viewers improve at the game and you have to respect the guy for that. Lets hope he keeps crushing those challenges and gets some nice MTT runs for us to sweat. Dont miss out on any of the action and follow the man himself over on Twitch.

Jake after 48 Hours of Poker
The first streamer i'm going to feature is Jake Upton. Jake is one of the most dedicated and hard working streamers on Twitch, posting regular 12 hour+ streams 4 - 5 days a week. Recently putting in a record 48 hour stream and somehow managing to come out of it up $60!

I don’t know about you guys but  I couldn’t even stay awake 48 hours let alone stream and play poker while still making a profit.

Jake’s go to games are the $2.50 180 man’s and more recently the 4 max Sunday Million satellites that he has been crushing. Jake also plays a lot of the micro MTT’s on Pokerstars booking some big scores in the past including a win in the $1.35 KO on Stars for $510 a $1100 score and just a couple milly entries worth $215 each! Jake has most recently has started a bankroll challenge on ACR, where his is trying to grind up a bankroll from $0 all the way up to MILLIONS.


The Final Table Sweatband and Sunglasses

Another big achievement for Jake was recently becoming a member of Team Gripsed. I’m sure most of you reading this will know who Gripsed is through either watching Youtube videos or streaming on Twitch. Basically, he’s a big deal in the online poker world and he's been acquiring some smaller streamers to join his stream team, one of those being Jake. Just want to quickly shout out Gripsed for supporting these smaller streamers and helping them gain popularity!

Not only is Jake a hard working, committed streamer, he also has a fun personality, he always remains positive throughout his stream and seems to have no fatigue as he grind out these super long sessions 5 days a week. His DJ sets are always "EPIC" and i love the iconic sweatband and sunglasses routine for all his final tables. I hope to see more from Jake in the future including some final tables to get the hype train rolling and bring in some well deserved viewership. Lets get this Aussie partnered people!
