1.Why do you watch poker streams?
and if you look more often:
2. How much time do you spend on poker streams?
and
3. Are you doing something else at the same time?

Here my answers:
1. I like to watch them for entertainment and distraction from bad beats. Every now and then I try to learn something from them.
2. 6 hours a week
3. If I want to learn something, I don't do anything else.

I like to watch streams in order to analyze game errors, predict and anticipate actions, so that I can then apply them in my own game.

I dont watch them consistent but when I do it is to look at other players play so I can play better. Looking at some of the professional steamers can be helpful in working on my game.

It helps a lot to evolve your game.

Good morning everyone, you should watch to know which plays are good to make and why you should do it, also to learn how to play better than the average player, I noticed that the players who win more chips are players who bluff the problem is learning to bluff at the right time. The time you have to watch depends on each player, but if you learned to play and hit the field easily, I don't think you need to watch it anymore.

I like to watch videos when I-m on a bad streak to see I did nothing wrong and IT IS possible to win with good poker play.

interms of streamers i find spraggy very entertaining to watch but run-it poker provides a glimpse of how every poker professional plays and their style of play, which now i use to build up my own style

Usually i watch poker streams for the giveaways, because some streamers can offer you some free money/bankrolls/tickets for watching. Also sometimes you can have some fun at this streams.
Usually i spend a couple of hours every day for this. I don,t think, that this streams is the best way to learn something about the game, or to become a better player aftet that, no, they are just for fun.
Of course, i can play couple of freerolls while watching or watch some tv shows.

I devote a little time to poker streams, I learn little from them. Many streamers don't explain anything and play at random and lots of luck with their game. Basically, I look at when to get gifts or bonuses for watching. Maybe I just don't know good streamers.

I prefer to watch on a TV but as my parents are TV addicts and watch the box nearly all day long, I hardly watch any streams now.

I love to watch for the learning curve, and the entertainment is a bonus. I watch Lex more than anyone

I watch poker out loud by Solve For Why.
Usually there are 6+ players sitting at the table, sometimes only pro, sometimes only students and sometimes mix of both. The best part is they all put those headphones which won't allow the other person hear what they are talking. And then they explain every street of action they take so we viewers can undersand whats goes inside the mind of a player when they take certain action at the table. Its such a great idea they have come up with to teach people about poker.

If you're talking about watching the pros, I watch because I try to figure out how a bunch of fat, cigar smoking, beer guzzling, morons can make so much money.

And also, I'll try to learn something from guys like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreneau, Dan Harrington, and others, that aren't what I described.

Thank you, a nice idea.
I've looked at one so far.
The video is made appealing and there are also later interview scenes that were inserted into the video. There I got even deeper insights.
I've marked the channel.

Who else knows these videos?

Hi friend.

I am a fan of this game for a long time, I met twitch and at the same time I met streamers of this game, they encouraged me to play for money, I do not watch them much today since I work, but take your time to play.

That's a lot of dedication and time management to study poker, it's obviously one of the best hands we could learn a lot from, thanks for your answers and questions, I can mess up and do two or three things at once.

Hello.
Depending on my mood, sometimes I watch streams sometimes not. But in general, I believe that our results are primarily influenced by our patience, discipline, and our ability to analyze and learn from our mistakes.
