The Top Poker Streamers in North America (Part III)

Jeff Boski (US)

Jeffrey Sluzinski, aka Jeff Boski, is a Las Vegas based poker streamer, blogger and ACR Team Pro that has been around for a very long time. 

After giving up school in 2004 to pursue poker full time, Jeff moved to Las Vegas in 2008 to hone his craft in the live poker world, and then headed to Canada, living in Vancouver for sometime to boost his experience online.  He was ranked #3 in terms of online poker tournament players in 2009 by Bluff magazine, and has been just as successful playing live as he has online. A year after starting his YouTube vlog, something that he keeps up today – he was signed as a member of Team ACR – a title that he still holds today. 

While he isn’t a regular on Twitch, he will pop up when he’s in a big tournament on ACR like The Venom, or when he’s very deep in a tournament and he’ll stream the end of it. You’ll typically see him post interesting hands on Twitter or uploading new videos onto his YouTube page.

Travis Darroch (Canada)

“DramaticDegen” as he is known online is an Canadian poker streamer and current poker streamer online. He originally had aspirations to become an actor, but life turned and he ended up pursuing online poker after setting up his stream and began broadcasting poker on Twitch. 

In 2019 he caught the eye of partypoker, who signed him on February 20th to join their ever growing stream team. At some point it’s believed that he left Team partypoker (the only clear remaining members are the Staples brothers) and given the amount of streams that featured WPT Global, Travis appears to favor them over other online poker rooms. Travis established a name for himself when he turned a $22 satellite ticket into a $100k plus payday in the partypoker Millions back in November 2019.

Travis has cemented himself as a solid Twitch streamer with over 31k followers as of today, and he is regularly streaming today with almost daily broadcasts. He is mixing poker with gambling on select streams, but still features poker to the thousand plus viewers each of his main broadcasts get.

He’s not one of the big names on the poker streets today, but his quality and entertaining streams still attract a significant following online and you’ll either learn or laugh watching Travis’ streams!

David Kaye (US)

Unlike most of the poker streamers that we’ll feature, David Kaye is a cash game specialist and primarily broadcasts some of the highest cash games online today. The Michigan-based streamer benefits from online poker being legal to play from his state, and this has afforded him the ability to make a living while playing at home. 

Formally aligned with PokerStars where his focus was a mix between cash and tournaments, David’s streams are more relaxed and focused on the action on your screen.  He’s averaging well over one thousand views per stream and has built a following of more than 21,000 people. 

While showcasing Bet Rivers’ online poker client currently, David’s vast knowledge of the game will continue to pull in consistent numbers online, and educate his audience on how he approaches playing 100NL cash games and higher.

Drew Gonzalez (US)

“BetOnDrew” bet on himself back in 2010 when he gave up his day job and pursued it full time. Five years later, he took his game to the Twitch streets and started broadcasting his craft online to hundreds of people.  Fast forward to 2019 and Drew was given the opportunity to stream full time from Bill Perkins’ Thirst Lounge where he was given a $20k bankroll and ran it up. 

Today, Drew continues to shine on the Twitch streets, broadcasting on a semi-regular basis as he reps the ACR brand. While Drew’s focus has shifted away from the online game and more to live tournaments, Drew doesn’t forget where he came from and hosts a weekly home game for his loyal followers. 

A total of 29k people follow Drew on Twitch and it’s no secret why: his knowledge of the game, plus his genuine personality make him someone you want to root for in life, and at the poker table, unless you’re sitting with him in a hand.

Bobby Winger (Canada)

We profiled Bobby Winger back in March, 2025 as an up and coming poker player and streamer from Ontario, Canada and today Bobby is establishing himself on the Twitch streets. His following may be new, but he has already amassed over 1,600 followers in a few short months, and there’s no secret why. 

Playing some of the biggest games in fenced-in Ontario, Bobby continues to grind out wins and profit on a daily basis and his videos are getting close to a thousand views. His ability to set lofty goals and then crush them are one of the reasons that poker fans are flocking to his channel, and his biggest goal yet of making $100k profit is surely to draw more eyes on him. 

Bobby continues to be one to watch on the Twitch streets

Ryan Riske (Canada)

Our final profile is another cash game specialist in Ryan Riske. His coaching team under Poker With Riske has been helping players move up in stakes and crush the competition for many years now, and Ryan’s recently stepped up his online content with posting new videos on YouTube. 

When it was just him, Ryan would regularly stream on Twitch, but these days you can catch Ryan & his fellow coaches walking through hands played at some of the highest cash game tables on the Internet. His brand caught the eye of Doug Polk and the team at Upswing Poker, who signed Ryan to their team back in April 2021. If you favor the cash game streets, watching and learning from Ryan’s team will give you so many pointers to improving your profit at the tables.

Next time we’ll cross the pond and feature some of the biggest poker streamers from Europe as we dive into the many poker pros, rooms, and online sites that showcase some of the biggest games online today!
