After his appointment to Team PokerStars, Jason “JCarver” Somerville announced that he would stream his Twitch broadcasts for 70 straight days—PLO specialist Joe “ChicagoJoey” Ingram plans to beat that by a factor 10.
Four days ago Ingram tweeted his intentions.
“With Twitch going the direction that it is, I want to help get the wonderful game of PLO out there to as many people as I can. I think it is such a fun game and that many others will feel the same about it,” Ingram told poker blog Nutblocker.
He believes that he can keep up the project to set a record for the number of consecutive days anyone has streamed on Twitch. “I was motivated to do it because I saw guys like JCarver and Jamie Staples putting in some really sick work ethic when it came to streaming and I pride myself on being one of the sickest grinders in poker when it comes to work ethic :).”

Ingram clearly enjoys his social media exposure, and is looking to enhance his chance of success in the space by recruiting a female player whom he can coach in PLO during his live stream.
It is becoming an essential part of a poker player’s skill set to be able to create a strong social media presence—and with celebrity and proven audience appeal comes offers of sponsorship from the major poker sites.
