According to David Kaye, streaming poker is a bit like the games themselves: unpredictable, sometimes draining, and always shifting.
In this interview, he outlines his initial rise in the poker scene, how the streaming landscape changed, and what led him to step away.
COVID made things even more complicated, with changing online ecosystems and a new wave of recreational players. Tax headaches and the challenge of balancing life and content creation didn’t help.
Kaye eventually found his way back, saying the passion for the game and the community drew him in again. Along the way, he shares thoughts on the future of poker streaming, sponsorship deals, and the ever-murky waters of online poker regulation.
