Back to My Roots! 

I once put a kinder bueno in the pot… people lost hundreds of dollars trying to win it. I respect the beef jerky move.

‘I can call raise or fold’ the poker analysis is crazy

Mariano, I like the way you tried to spin it. You straight up Degen'd it hard on the 1/2 table lmfao. You were enjoying it. ahhaha i love it. we all need that from time to time.

If you aren’t having fun then why even bother

Texas Card House (TCH) also has the "Tip Money" on the button. If button player wins, the chips on the dealer button go to the dealer...

Mariano: *puts out MASSIVE stack* "I bet 50 dollars" 😅

Turning into my favorite poker vlogger! Keep it up

"Preflop aggressor dude" had me laughing

bro u hit every flop or what hahah i guess u cut out all the other hands.

I know you probably won’t care but all I’ve heard is extremely negative things about you and your attitude from several different people who ‘met’ you during the meet up game. Just passing the info along so you can know what the rabble is saying about you but essentially you never got off your phone, were very stand offish and acted like you were “better then everyone else” and just basically got your content and bounced. I don’t know how true any of this is, I’ve never met you, but these are things I heard in San Antonio this weekend after the MUG.

Why did HCL disable comments on your recent video?

Loved the jerky icon on the pot total! Haha

I appreciate the Brad Owen ceiling evaluation moment....😂🤣😂🤣👍

17:50 Mariano punting halfway across Texas just to ship $12 to the dealer. You love to see it.

Awesome that you are not “too cool” to come in town just for this.

I was at this Meetup game. You weren’t able to make it to my table. I took your picture, but that was about it. I had Brad and Doug at my table. It was my first time there. I live in Dallas and play at Texas Card House. I won several hundred and went home ahead. The Lodge is a nice place. We put chips on the button in Dallas also.

Here in Hungary, button straddle is a standard bet. This is optional, but if someone makes a normal straddle, then they can no longer place chips on the button. This takes place preflop. In this case, the small blind starts the game, he can call what is on the button or raise.Then the big blind and the other players can call, fold or raise. When the bidding circle reaches the button. You can decide to raise or pass, or fold if there was a raise. The button chip goes to the pot winner. In Hungarian slang, this game is called Mississippi. 🙂

We do the dealer tip game at my local game . When I tried it in Biloxi they thought i was trying to straddle 😊

Re the $ on the dealer button, what happens if game breaks or ends & there’s still a bunch of $ on the button?? I love this idea, just wanna get all the correct info b4 introducing it @ my table :)

The button game, most places the money on the button goes to the small blind when the small blind wins a pot. The dealer gets tipped after every hand by the winner of the pot, so what's the point of making him wait until the button wins. That variation of the button game makes zero sense. It came out of Austin TX, that figures.

....and thats how you get it all in pre=flop with 9/8 offsuit...🤣

1/2 $ sunrun megaboring phoker, only mr Owen is more boring ;D

I honestly would rather watch 1/2 2/5 or 5/10. Keep 'em coming every so often 🙏🏼

That was a fun vlog to watch!! You really messed me up with my OCD and those chip stacks though 😂😅!!! keep having fun and I love the positivity

"Suddenly I realized she actually had six combos of QJ, not just one..."

Love the lodge, I was a dealer there prior to Doug bought it.

Off topic but Mariano -- can you please help your good buddy Rampage? He's rapidly falling into a deep dark hole with his addiction to high stakes poker. No response needed or expected. Thanks,

It was a fun Vlog. I was actually playing in the MUG, but wasn't able to play with any of the :hosts. (Except Skull Mike, who called my 5-bet shove with AK & felted me.) It was my first time playing Texas poker, but it was good experience despite booking a loss. It was a long drive from Mississippi (the traffic in Houston was memorable).

Anyone know what that set of chips is called??

I don’t think THAT DUDE who bluffed u with K high knows who you are.. $400 bluff is like 40 cents to u.. 🤪

Ha ha great vlog! And now I have documented proof of winning a hand with AK! Also you are right…Whattaburger sucks! Thanks for livening up our table!

that last hand was fun "for everyone at the table" except for the guy who saw the board double pair, making him lose both pots to no pair hands, lol.

Hahaha that jerky skit was hilarious:) stick of butter for next one and maple syrup next easter egg after that. Get merch do drawings for the people watching and qualifying by commenting with correct easter egg in the commentary. Good luck :)

Hey, maybe a silly question but have you ever heard "Mariano" by Robert Earl Keen, Jr? 🤠👍

Nah i know the other players at the table gotta be goin crazy😂 becoming a call station to give action and luck box binking to stack players is nasty

You should watch Brad Owen he has great reads and I think you could’ve avoided the all in punt at 14:00 if you just thought about what could be raising you on the flop like that. Nice vid Mariano!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, burning $1-$2 is it normal to have $50 and $120 dollar preflop bets? 25-60x?

I remember those early vlogs. Around that time you played at a1/3 table at the Bellagio I was at and I recognized you. You didn’t stay long as I believe you were just passing some time until a seat opened at a higher stake.

1/2-1/3 meetup games>>>>

I was so excited when someone (you) message me that i won a give away. But it was a scammed. Anyway,great win great actions

I just noticed the beef jerky icon next to the pot size. Please tell your editor that they're a genius.

Good video..nice to see you go back to the roots where it all began..I bet you look at your firdt few videos when you srarted vlogging and qhen your seeing yourself how you play 4yrs ago your saying to yourself what the hell was i thinkong playing this way lol

mean comment " you raise too much" oh so true

You are a super awesome person aka see they have a MoeMoney poker player there o well still would love too meet up if you're in az some time let me know

"I don't know how many of you were around for those early days videos..." 🖐

We have Mississippi straddles around here so that would just be too confusing having chips on the button.

I like the color of the card first and foremost. I enjoyed the blind. Excitements hits the spot for me.

The dealer is going to get the money no matter what eventually. Lol. Def a good thing though.

U never miss a Flop 😂 flushdraws every suited hand u get hehehe

Finally... Back to the stakes you should be playing 😂

I really think you, Ethan and Brad play better at low stakes poker

Nice to go back once in awhile to the lower stakes. Fun vlog!! Thanks!

Ik that dealer on table 5 was fucking annoyed with ur chip stack ahahah

I never understood why people glorify RU-vidrs. I mean no disrespect to @marianopoker I just never understood grown men over 21 years old get gitty and want to take pictures / autographs is beyond my comprehension.

So you had 33 in that hand huh.. I took a siesta in that hand... Should've played lol

Andy,rampage and you can set up a pop group called broken boy😂

I been around long enough to remember when you changed your hair color.

I’m sure the cashier loved the racks of random rainbow stacks

whats that spinning thing(gold one)?

Highly entertaining vlog! Especially the last blind raise hand!

Good to see the prime brad owen ceiling shot coming into a Mariano vlog

Mariano, will you make a visit to the northeast?

Final hand is the most Texas poker hand ever. Love it

I don't remember if I saw you our first but I have been here since then

I’ve watched about 100 of your videos, this is the first time I decided to comment. All I gotta say is, Who the hell doesn’t like beef jerky. 😂

You overplayed AQ like a $1-2 player.

Thanks for this vlog at the Lodge Mahal ! I play there a good bit and it is a great room. Really enjoyed this one 😃

What was so good about the bluff with king high?

Honestly bro I watch every poker player on RU-vid. You are definitely the best player you are a genius lol

Well done, Mariano 👏 *give us a proper "heads-up" on your next meet-up game and I'm in! 💪 *preferably LA or Vegas 🫣

Very nice to see en lot of fun. You seemed to enjoy it too❤😊
