How is it good to watch on Twitch and YouTube?
I have heard that it is good and helpful to watch people play poker on Twitch and YouTube, I am watching Gripsed on YouTube but who else should, I be watching on YouTube and Twitch? I will be focusing mainly on tournaments and SNG,s.

Twitch for the win, my favorite twitch streamers are Lex Veldhuis/tonkaaaa and jcarver (although jcarver doesn't stream so often anymore since he's quite busy in the real world). YouTube is alright as well but I believe it has a lot of biased opinions (depending on who you watch), I prefer twitch by far as most streamers (like the ones I stated above) are professional poker players and you get to interact with them lively and ask them any questions you might have straight away, plus they won't be cherry picking all their winning tournaments like most youtubers do just to show off winnings. On the other hand, watching streamers live you get to see all their ups and downs and listen to all their stances on each and every situation that they face.

Moldean would be hard to learn from. I don't know him well but I don't think he is very knowledgeable in the game

Do you twitch?
Lately while I play I will watch twitch streams some of them are not very popular and some have hundreds or 1000s watching. I only started using twitch about a month ago or so and very slowly at that however;
Some of my favorites are because they are not quite so popular but fun or informative or both I figure everyone already knows whom their favorite pro's are but these folks are climbing their way through up poker experience with varying degrees of success and @ worst just interesting to watch @ best fun or informative:
Mine are as follows:
1) Our own Sightgasm = https://www.twitch.tv/sightgasm
Has home games with the odds/outs so some fun side games in PS homegames
2) Scot Lenter = www.twitch.tv/scotlenter
Scot s a pro and gives hand analysis while he plays
3) Betondrew https://www.twitch.tv/betondrew
Not sure of his background but I like his commentary
4) https://www.twitch.tv/thatssixzs Poker player gives insight into the game and bitcoin promoter - makes no claim that he is a pro just has his style and he shares his thought process usually on once a week on Tuesdays
fyi (for transparency - I also work with zzzzzz ) but doesn't take away from enjoying his stream.
Again I have only been on twitch a short time I realize dougpolk - wsop and a ton of other high profile games are on here I just wanted to see what people were watching with regards to folks closer to the amateur level.
thanks

I think things like twitch really changed poker. The toughest thing about learning to play poker is "it depends". How you play AA, KK, AK and 67 all "depends". There is no answer because the situation is always different. Being able to watch a successful player and how they play the hands in their range is absolutely the best way to turn your game around or turn the corner and move into profitability.
This is the one reason I think it is a waste of time to pay for a coach. You can simply keep adding to your game by watching a pro play a tournament rather than the pro watching you.
Obviously Polk is a great guy to watch, Thrash is another, but I'll watch just about anyone because no matter who they are I add something new to my skill set.

Watching a player play through a tournament is helpful. You get a feel of what is going on, get to take table dynamics into the equation and see real time decisions. It can be a little too quick to get a full understanding of everything if you are too new to the game. Just be careful who you are watching as there are some bad players giving bad advice out there.

I have been thinking about this as well I may just do it and say the hell with my trepidation I figure they would be something to learn from it at the least - and maybe get 1 or 2 viewers if I am lucky lol
