Poker has always been built on the popularity of its characters. One of poker’s biggest characters, popular on Twitter and YouTube is the poker vlogger Andrew Neeme. Neeme’s poker vlogs have an everyman appeal and Neeme’s vlogs have captured a wide-ranging audience.
While some poker players naturally appeal to the social media age on YouTube – the shareability of the game being one of its biggest assets – with loud voices and bright graphics, Neeme has mastered the art of signing up subscribers with quiet ease.
MASTER OF THE MEET-UP
Whether it’s in Reno, Canada or Michigan, Neeme is the master of the ‘meetup’ whereby he announces where he’ll be playing – often with his friend and fellow vlogger, Brad Owen.
Predominantly a cash-game player, Neeme actually only has $90,000 in live tournament earnings, but his cash game prowess – at reasonable stakes – reaches out to recreationals as much as it does mid-stakes. When Neeme announces that a game is on, people flock to join him in it, and his videos are personal as well as mainstream, emotional as well as escapism. He really is the master of the meet-up and seems to have a great way of finding common ground with his audience and subject matter. Whatever the hand, Neeme’s vlogs have a way of finding the right message.
MICHIGAN MAN, THE PERFECT TRAVELLER
Capture most people’s travels on planes, trains, and automobiles and it wouldn’t be fun. Most of us – let’s be honest – would complain about much of our trip, and appear tired, lack energy and struggle to hold an audience. Neeme not only engages his audience, but he keeps them coming back. With over 100,000 subscribers, Neeme is hugely popular but has never changed his videos to reflect it.
What you see in video #1 is what you can expect in terms of pace and direction. That ability to speak in terms you’ll both listen to and be entertained by is a rare quality, and Neeme has it spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds. He clearly loves the game, and after beginning his life in the cell phone industry, has proved that he knows how to dial into the desires of the average Joe Poker Public.
KING OF THE MID-STAKES CASH GAME
Cash game poker is a demanding lifestyle, one that often requires long hours, intense study and personal discipline. That Neeme has been able to thrive in the area for so long while developing a loyal audience speaks volumes for how likable he really is.
Next time Neeme puts out a ‘meetup’, why not go along? You’ll be sitting with a poker legend and in what other game can you say you did that?

Andrew Neeme is an American professional poker player and poker vlogger from Michigan, United States. He is known for popularizing the 'meet-up game' in which he announces on social media where he plays and searches for other players interested in playing in the game.[1][2][3]
Early life[edit]
Neeme was born in Michigan and attended Michigan State University. With a telecommunication degree, Neeme initially intended to work in the cell phone industry. He worked with a London based company which involved the music industry. However, despite liking the music industry, he wasn’t satisfied with his salary.[4] He found online poker at the start of the Moneymaker boom, in 2004, after moving to Los Angeles. He began playing on the now defunct poker site, Bugsy's Club and later switched his focus to live poker cash games.
Poker[edit]
His very first result in a tournament dates back from 2010, when he came in 26th place in a $340 No Limit Hold’em tournament at the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza for $873.
Overall, his live tournaments winnings are quite modest, preferring live cash games. As of September 2020, Neeme had won a little over $90,000 in live tournament formats. He has only cashed in 5 World Series events for a combined mere $23,977.
In October 2016, Neeme began a poker vlog which generated interest. By January 2019, he had garnered over 100,000 subscribers.[5] He has often been credited with popularizing the 'meetup game' where fans and viewers could play him in a live setting. He often plays with fellow poker vlogger, Brad Owen.[6][7]
In March 2019, he temporarily partnered up with 888 Poker to provide live streams to his fans while he was playing poker in Alberta, Canada.
