expanding sky poker TWITCH?!

Hi guys I am thinking about streaming sky poker tourneys on twitch! For those who do not know what it is twitch is where anyone from gamers to poker players allow other people to watch them live! Well on a delay of anywhere between 2-7 minutes so for me it would stop people seeing my whole cards until the hand was done with. Poker on twitch is getting bigger by the day and people like Jason Somerville and Jaime staples are leading the way I was just wondering if the sky community would like to see this on sky poker as nobody is doing it right now! I'll twitch tournerments sit and go's double your money's etc whatever people would like to see with the sky poker channel no longer being available I feel this would be a great way for people to get sky poker action while playing tourney's there self I'll be aiming to do this pretty much full time (50-60 hours a week) if it's something you guys would be interested in thanks :)

    there maybe a couple but I meant as in full time, I think there's a big market being missed with sky TV no longer being available and people would enjoy having something to watch while playing! A range of tournaments :) to suit all bankrolls, whatever the community would like to see, but the nightly main events will always be streamed as I think they will bring in the biggest audiences. :)

    All for Twitch, think it's a great service. What I would say is be careful with content. If you are going to promote your stream via the Sky Poker forum then watch the swearing etc. Some of the best Twitch streamers in the poker world manage to provide an entertaining and intelligent broadcast without cursing/insulting players etc. and this is what we are hoping for from our players who decide to use Twitch.

    We want new players to feel welcome - not berated if they make a mistake etc.

    Something to bear in mind, but I look forward to watching when you start!

    Twitch does appear to be popular, in my opinion how you differentiate your stream is key. Seems to be lots of people doing very similar streams so you need to give people a reason to pick your one. 

    Best of luck with this

    Then I shall def be tuning in when I can.

    How long are you planning to stream 50-60 hrs/week for though? It sounds a like a tough order to me but you have obviously given it some thought.

    All the best though and look forward to watching.

    Goodluck with this, hope you are successful, Twitch are currently in beta for something called Playlist, don't know to much about it but in essence it allows your stream to become 24/7 by letting you choose what historical shows you reply making your channel "on" all the time, I think a caveat is that to help test it you have to have 200 concurrent viewers. If you are screening 50/60 hrs a week then you should get that many soon enough.

    This forum software abso baffles me at times.

    See that duplicated post above? Yeah, we've all seen them loads of times, where, for some reason, the software duplicates a post. But those two are 1 hour & 13 minutes apart.

    How that work?

    from my experience its if you make a post, stay on the page and then refresh the thread, it seems to repost it.

    I'd have to disagree with Sky Dan.

    I would prefer a stream where the player was drinking/taking drugs and slagging off the other players as much as possible.

    Maybe not quite to this extent, but I'd much rather watch an entertaining stream with the odd swear word or insult thrown than a boring one where the streamer is being too polite & trying not to offend anyone!
