Profiting at Poker Making Money at Online Poker & Live Poker
Twitch superstar Jason Somerville has had a poker career which is envied throughout the poker community. Somerville’s net worth is something commonly discussed as he has so many different income streams. Somerville is a very modern poker player who knows that poker shouldn’t be the only source of income for a professional poker player.
How does Jason Somerville make money?
At the moment, most of Somerville’s income is earned from his ‘Run it UP’ brand and his PokerStars affiliation. Somerville uses his Twitch stream to promote his brand, but also generates income through followers subscribing to his channel. Twitch and Somerville share each $5 subscription, and his stream is the most subscribed Twitch poker stream currently running.
Somerville’s PokerStars affiliation does generate plenty of income, as PokerStars are investing heavily in the biggest poker streamer to ever have appeared on Twitch. Somerville engages his fans much better than all of his competition, and PokerStars sees this as a great opportunity to draw more new players to their site.

Other gambling activities
Somerville has made many mentions on stream about his general gambling activities. He regularly bets on sports with a big focus on the UFC as he is a huge fan of the sport. While Somerville does frequently gamble, this would not impact his net worth too seriously.
