“Why am I retiring? I think I accomplished the goal. What I wanted to do on the platform I have accomplished. One, I wanted to become a winning player … two, I wanted to entertain people, and that void in my life has been filled.”
He went on to suggest that he would continue to play poker a “ton,” though a little more recreationally, and occasionally stream. But broadly his full time job of creating poker content is over.
The former Canadian big brother contestant did not say what his next project would be, saying only that he was “really enjoying some other things” in terms of entertainment. “I think I’m going to take my career in different ways.”

In the last few years, “KMart” has improved his game a lot, learning live on stream to his followers. He posts his profit publicly on his stream, and he profited $220,000 last year and around $80,000 so far this year in online MTTs—showing he can clearly make a living from the grind. But that’s not the path for him.
A long time PokerStars ambassador, Martin quit in February of this year and switched to partypoker in May. That makes his tenure at partypoker only four months long.

Popular poker streamer Kevin Martin has become the latest high-profile name to part ways with PokerStars this week, following the departure of both Jaime Staples and Jeff Gross.
Martin became one of the best-liked streamers when he turned his attention fully to poker, a radio DJ job swapped for the online felt – as well as two appearances on the Canadian version of the reality TV show Big Brother, winning one for $100k, bringing him plenty of exposure.

His PokerStars ambassadorship was the result of hard work and excellent production, Martin – as with Staple and Gross – keen to thank PokerStars for the opportunity he was given to grow his stream.
The big question now, of course, is whether Kevin Martin will be joining the partypoker Team Online announced yesterday, his name certainly in the frame after Matt Staples was named as the first team member.
Martin is close friends with both Matt and Jaime Staples, the trio sharing a ‘streamhouse’ in Montreal, and rising through the ranks together as it were. Last year saw Martin land some excellent live results, with back-to-back wins worth over $60k cementing his reputation as a player.

Fellow streamer Jeff Gross was among the first to wish Martin luck for the future, although the clever money is on the pair being colleagues at partypoker very soon.

PokerStars decision to cut ties with their popular streamers has come as a surprise to many, although several recent changes have raised eyebrows in the poker community – rake increases among them – with saving money being the most obvious reason.
