Brotherly love goes out of the window for the meantime on March 24 when Jaime and Matt Staples duke it out in the Hot Tables Challenge at partypoker.
The Staples brothers are mainly known for grinding in the Daily Legends tourneys, but the chance to get one over on each other and grab some of the Hot Tables value has proven too good an opportunity to turn down.

Like those two always. I remember years ago when they had chalange when in some time they had to have the same weight i think bet was vs. Bill Perkins for about 100k and they win it. I watch their streams from time to time and they are good tournament players. About hot tables, yeah i like it more then leadearboards.

I don't know the outcome of this battle, but something else is important. They add to the image of the hold'em poker game and attract new fans or clients. That brings benefits to them as well, or for the rest of rooms / casinos.

This is all marketing, poker has to be expanded to more players in each country, and thanks to these direct via Twitch of these players is becoming a reality, besides that you have fun watching them play, you also learn to play, they also benefit the players with free tournaments and gifts to play poker.

The objective is to attract new players to this room, these confrontations of great online poker players, it is as if it were a World Cup, where many are awaiting these battles, there are many players who face each other, that is exciting for the spectators who they like poker.
Of course, any promotion is about marketing and this one is also about this. They want to show people, what hot tables are right now on PP and they want more players to play their cash games, because right now as it seems not so many are playing it. Just hard to undertand, why they make the minumim limits only 0.05/0.10 , i think if this promotion will be available on lower limits, they will have more players playing cash games in their room.

Of course they should do for the lower limits, so they would obtain greater results, but hopefully they can implement it in the future, now it only remains to enjoy these great players and learn from them to try to improve every day and make poker a profession.

Maybe they will add it later, or they have some other promo prepared for the lowest two liimits. I am almost sure they will not just forget for the playest who play the lowest limitis. I see they do allot of advertise this new promo, so those two brothets are one of the best to do something like that.

these brothers are trying to become better known to the public or to make hold'em poker more attractive to amateurs. Not bad at all, but their game needs to become more professional than it is now. They have enough fans, but if they don't show something more they will get bored.

I hope they take more importance to the lower levels, because that's where we all started, these great players have started at these levels and that is why they should not put it aside, just to see these great players how they play live.

I would love to see some online sessions in which they explain how can you steal the pots of fish players. This kind of players is very dangerous with they and spoils a lot of hands. They are a very important barrier for me because many times forces my hand. These brothers can show this on internet.

There are professional poker players who explain in detail how you can develop your game against any type of player, it is incredible to see that they explain it for free, of course that with more depth it will be a cost, but you draw your conclusions, these means help much to learn, you have to take advantage of this.

It is a challenge between the top brothers of the game, the challenge will be for 3 hours and they will start with an entry of 500 dollars and the one who wins the most money is the winner of the challenge, I think it will be a deathmatch of these poker greats. I do not know how they will have been, I did not see your transmission.

They have lots of promotions, but to be honest i just can,t understand, why everytime the new promotion is worse then it was before. Just looks like they everytime give less money for the promos. This is the only reason that comes to my mind.

They should be the opposite, every year that passes the rooms should launch great promotions so that the poker community grows, and not fall into conformism, this is a discipline that should grow and have millions of players in the rooms.

But what in realty is happened, you get less and less from poker rooms every year. Damn where are those days when games were so soft that even i you didn't win you can just "rakeback whore" with abc game and have a solid income, becouse rewards, bonuses, promotions were so bettere then nowadays.

The main goal of these brothers is money and everyone tries to get as much as they can. Poker or other bets, internet channels or any other business does not matter because for them it is important to earn money to live.

Yes for sure their main goal is to make as much money as tey can. I am talking for those two and probably any other streamers and youtubers. Rarely are those who do this just for passion and love for some stuff. Specialy in casino buisiness and poker it's all about the money, everyone wants to make their. And i say why not if they offer good content and people likes them, they deserved it.

it's interesting how Jaime Staples manages to win many hands at the spinning games in this aggressive way, because this maneuver does not work for me, as long players pay at any time. Obviously, this is not the case with high stakes, but he also plays with lower buy-ins

I watched certain things on Twithc and i can say that they can become achievable, if i were richer to play at slightly higher stakes. For now, what they offer doesn't work in lower stakes, where there is a lot of chaos, because the players contradict you at any moment... Poker is an ambitious and difficult game.
And i say why not if they offer good content and people likes them, they deserved it.
