Biography Aaron Barone is a Canadian poker player and Twitch streamer who is part of 888poker’s Stream Team. “I started off playing live poker with friends around the kitchen table,” Barone told PokerNews. “I was awfully competitive and one of the main reasons I put a lot of effort into my game wasn’t to make money, but to beat one friend of mine in particular. I couldn’t stand the smug look on his face when he dragged pots, and I knew there’d be less of it if I was the one with all the chips!
