Revisiting 5 YouTube Poker Vloggers: Where Are they Now?

Back in March 2024, I introduced five poker vloggers who were just starting to make their mark on YouTube. These creators were navigating the exciting yet competitive world of poker content, offering their unique perspectives on the game through a mix of entertainment, education, and personal storytelling. Each had their own strengths: from sharp analysis to witty commentary, from consistent uploads to creative editing styles. With poker vlogging continuing to thrive as a niche, these rising stars had the potential to establish themselves as standout personalities in the community.

Nine months later, it’s time to revisit these channels and see how they’ve progressed. Have they managed to maintain their momentum? Are they still active and growing? Let’s look closer at their journeys and where they stand today.

NorCalPoker

When I first spotlighted NorCalPoker, he had built a solid foundation with 1.84k subscribers. His engaging commentary and relatable humor resonated with viewers, and his consistent uploads gave fans plenty of content to enjoy. Fast forward nine months, and his subscriber count has surged to an impressive 9.33k. True to his work ethic, he has maintained a steady upload schedule of 2-3 videos per month, primarily focusing on $1/$2 and $1/$3 cash games. His well-structured videos, complete with intros, gameplay highlights, and thoughtful conclusions, have solidified his place in the poker vlogging scene.

PocketPeg

PocketPeg, known off-screen as Peggy Crawford, had 300 subscribers from 20 videos when we first featured her. Her content skillfully blended poker education with personal reflections, and her notable WSOP Circuit victory in Nottingham helped set her apart. Nine months on, Peggy has surpassed the 1k-subscriber milestone, now sitting at 1.09k with 72 videos to her name. Although she didn’t cash in the prestigious Tournament of Champions, she vlogged the experience in a series of entertaining videos that resonated with her growing audience. Her use of sharp graphics, real-time analysis, and personal insights continues to be a hallmark of her channel, making her a rising star in the poker vlogging world.

Marty Poker

When I first reviewed Marty Poker, he was a true wildcard with only two videos posted. While his potential was clear, there was uncertainty about whether he’d stick with vlogging. Nine months later, Marty has added 16 more videos to his channel, bringing his total to 18. His subscriber count has grown to over 780, but his last upload was over two months ago. While his sporadic posting has slowed his growth, his professional editing and engaging commentary still hold promise. With more consistency, Marty could see his channel gain significant traction.

Pocket M’s

Pocket M’s has always been an infrequent poster, and that pattern hasn’t changed. Although his subscriber base has grown by over 600, bringing him to 1.7k, his last upload was five months ago. His channel’s long-format videos and entertaining commentary set him apart initially, but his absence raises questions about the channel’s future. For now, Pocket M’s remains a talented vlogger whose sporadic activity keeps viewers wondering if he’ll make a return.

Panic Poker

Lastly, Panic Poker stood out nine months ago for his consistent uploads and extensive catalog of 140 videos. Jason, the man behind the channel, has continued this momentum for much of the year, bringing his total video count to 205. His subscriber base has also grown to 2.73k. However, it’s been two months since his last upload, leaving his followers curious about his next steps. Despite this pause, Jason’s channel remains a reliable resource for low-stakes poker enthusiasts, offering professional content with well-structured gameplay and narration.

Poker Vlogging Is Still Thriving

Nine months on, it’s clear that poker vlogging remains a dynamic and ever-evolving niche. While some vloggers, like NorCalPoker and PocketPeg, have shown steady growth and dedication to their craft, others, like Marty Poker and Pocket M’s, face challenges in maintaining consistency. Panic Poker’s impressive catalog and loyal following highlight the potential longevity of this format, even with occasional breaks.

These creators continue to bring unique perspectives to the poker community, offering a blend of humor, insight, and storytelling that resonates with fans. Whether they’re breaking down hands, sharing personal triumphs, or documenting their journeys, they showcase the multifaceted nature of poker and the vibrant personalities behind the game. As we look ahead, it’s exciting to imagine what the future holds for these vloggers and the growing poker vlogging community.
