A live stream, live sweat like twitch streaming would be pretty sweet. Would give members a more interactive learning experience as the TPE Pro answers questions as he plays. Would take a lot of work to enact it but just a suggestion.

Honestly by far the easiest and best way to do this is via Twitch itself – you’ll find KB, Bigdog and other TPE pros have Twitch channels where they’re happy to answer questions. I personally have tried Twitch in the past but my current laptop can’t handle streaming with high quality video, which I’m very annoyed by.

I can’t speak for the guys in charge, but personally I doubt you’ll ever see a live streaming platform on TPE itself, just simply because Twitch does the job so well and is so well established.

A TPE channel on Twitch would be a great way for them to advertise, and getting it up and running now before people start seeing Chris on ESPN with his TPE patch would be an interesting thought.

But, of course, several TPE pros already have dedicated channels, and Twitch isn’t really set up to be a coalition (or a network of channels, if you will). Including more TPE keywords in each of the channels might work just as well.

yeah, I have considered the idea of having a “TPE Channel” on Twitch, but the turnover in Twitch streamers is very high. It’s a ton of work and a big commitment to consistently stream. My fear is that it’s something I would start, and then not have enough guys to fill the time slots TBH.  Never know if it might happen at some point, but I dont see it right now.

 

It’s also tough to give good analysis when you also have to answer other Twitch viewer questions like “is this rigged”, “is this real money”, “are you an alcoholic” and so on.  🙂

And here I thought the questions poker pros get IRL were bad. I have no idea what causes them to draw the line between ‘Twitch poker player’ and ‘alcoholic’!

Filling the slots can sure be tough. I could offer you streaming of playing Tecmo Super Bowl, but that’s not so helpful, is it? 🙂

But, another option could be to replay certain videos, such as the ones you aired at the TPE booth at the WSOP. Or maybe other programming that features TPE pros, such as “Marc Alioto’s guide to table shuffleboard” or “Barbecuing with the Big Dog.”

Thats a really good idea.  Something I will consider for sure!
