Yeah, it’s becoming pretty common now, especially at live cash tables.
I’ve sat with a couple of poker vloggers. Personally, I don’t mind as long as it’s handled respectfully — camera fixed on them, no faces or hole cards visible, and the table is informed beforehand. When it’s done professionally, it barely affects the game.
That said, I’ve also seen players refuse, and I completely understand why. Some people value privacy, don’t want their decisions or
bankroll discussed online, or just don’t feel comfortable being part of content without consent. Others worry it might change table dynamics or give the vlogger an unintended edge.
Bottom line for me: consent and transparency matter. If everyone at the table is informed and comfortable, it’s fine. If even one player isn’t, the camera should stay off — poker’s already high-variance without adding social pressure.
