With over 100,000 followers, Jason Somerville is the most popular poker player on Twitch.

After many recommendations and much consideration, I have finally decided to broadcast some of my poker sessions on Twitch. It’s not something that I am 100% sold on, but I now believe that the pros outweigh the cons.

This year at the World Series of Poker, I meet a ton of people who have followed my poker career over the past couple of years. Someone asked me if I was “The” Carlos Welch. Still haven’t completely wrapped my head around that one. Another guy stopped as he was walking past me to say “Are you Carlos? I thought I recognized that voice from the Thinking Poker Podcast.” There was one young guy from England who said he was so inspired by my life nittiness that he walked the two miles from Circus Circus to the Rio because he didn’t want to pay for a cab.
