The Twitch player on the website uses the 16:9 format (but if you resize your browser it does not necessarily keep that aspect ratio) If you fullscreen any video on your monitor at home, it depends on the resolution of that monitor if the stream will be fullscreen or not. For most viewers streaming at a 16:9 aspect ratio is the "best" middle way to make sure they wont see black bars when they fullscreen it or view it in the browser.
Now your game is only 800x600 and if you would stretch this 4:3 aspect ratio into a 16:9 box, you would have black borders on the left and right. Your options:
Stream at 800x600 and dont worry about the view viewers that might moan about black bars
Stream at 1280x720 and add a chat, some images, text, scores, whatever to the black area
Stream at 1280x720 and stretch your image which will make it look really really bad (please dont do it)
