High Stakes $50-$100 in Texas!! 

Does anyone else think that the lodges chips are ugly?

Mariano is rapidly becoming 1 of the toughest and most entertaining player in the highstakes landscape. Way to go bro.

I love how Mariano just breezes over the badass bluff on Andrew. Other bloggers would be talking it up for a couple minutes, telling us how good a play it was. Mariano just gives his thoughts and moves on as if it was just like any other play. He's a killer but is retaining his humility and gratitude, great to see!

I like your idea of an "old school" vlog. Your vlogs are always great, but not a bad idea to add in a bit of variety now and then.

Mariano, your jab at Doug with the KK’s is awesome. Great video as usual.

Wow - you, the 3rd poker vlogger I ever subscribed to sitting between Andrew and Brad, my 1st and 2nd vlogger subscriptions, respectively! 😍😍😍

It must've been pretty cool playing with Andrew Neeme but if you watch his vlogs you also have a distinct advantage knowing he is scared money and rarely plays at these stakes. The shove all in when he had pocket 5's was a great play. You're an absolute boss Mariano. You may not here this that often but thank you so much for sharing a small part of your life with us. It is very interesting seeing you get better and better.

Just dropping a hell yes to putting out a old school vlog!!!

You've come such a long way! I still remember when you were doing $5/$10 vlogs and I remember thinking "Man this guy plays such higher stakes than Rampage and Brad" LMAO now seeing you play for $100k feels small!

I always find it interesting when vloggers play against vloggers. I watched Brad Owens video for this session and it's cool to listen to both players thought processes on the same hand.

I didn't know Mariano did BJJ. That rear naked choke he did on himself at 5:15 was outstanding. I think you have to be a purple belt before they teach you that move.

Lets go! Love watching your Vlogs dude! I learn a ton everytime! Keep it up! (also first time i've got first comment 😂) Btw did you and Brad coordinate shirt colors or happy accident lol

Nice vid - not overly dramatic but a pleasant watch, nonetheless. Thanks, Mariano.👍 (btw - looking forward to one of those "phone on the table" vlogs.)

You played great here. Some tough runouts. At least you got the "ball don't lie" chop in the A4 vs AK hand.

I'd love to see an old school vlog from Vegas. Also, pouncing on Neeme's thin value / blocker bet when he had 55 and you had A-high - fairly savage. I'm a little surprised, in fact, because Andrew knows his thoery. He knew a tough player like you could pull that trick. Had he done that with an 8, i would have stood up and cheered 😂. Anyway, still love your short films after all these years.

You need to start a beef with someone so we can get a villain arch going. Maybe Wesley?

I've been telling people about you for over a year. Now it's really paying off with my friends starting to realize you might be a GOAT one day. Keep it up.

chopped pots are boring, stop running it twice people 🤦🏼‍♂

I am becoming addicted to these. Let's gooooo Ninth wonder 😂

I love the facial expressions and body contortion at the outset of playing the 10s. 😄

Wolfgang always looks like he is hiding a Costanza wallet in his hat.

I don't understand the first hand analysis at all. Brad button 3-bet 3x late open could be anything. Mariano 4 bets JJ thinking it's best. how does J85 two diamond flop give brad "often have a strong hand"? I understand the flop bet but it seems more like a prayer than a value bet? and then third diamond on turn, why couldn't brad have a suited hand? seem very possible to me. Mariano basically puts him on a pocket pair with a diamond, including queens (but he said Js were best preflop)? and then jams? I just don't understand the analysis. Can someone enlighten me pls?

Hey man, huge fan, you are a killer! Since I am current on all your posts I went to the way back machine and was laughing at the sound effects! You have to bring those back. Not sure you need to bring back the Ric Flair hair tho! Haha. You are the man, keep it up and hope to hear some jackpot sound effects soon! 🤜🏼🤛🏻

Can someone explain the difference between Mariano and Brad Owens poker journey ? Mariano seems to have had an astronomical rise through the stakes, playing for millions of dollars and having insane wins in such a short amount of time. It feels like Brad has been grinding for YEARS and YEARS and only in the last few months has he stepped up in the stakes, playing in some big live stream games. Even with Brads recent level up in stakes, he hasn't done that* well in comparison to Mariano's winnings. Ive been a massive Brad fan for years, I’m just having a hard time understanding how their paths have been so different. Is it just me, or does Mariano seem like he doesn't care as much if he has massive swings? Brad seems to feel every up and down swing way more. Is Mariano already rich or something ?

Is there any way brads call in hand #1 is winning? I can’t see how it would be. Double block the best straight draw, holding a key Diamond that might be bluffed with, underpair?

Brad released a vlog with some of these hands (between you and him) earlier today, and it is strange how when I watch them on his vlog I am barracking for him and when I watch them on your vlog I'm barracking for you 😆😉

Yes do an old school vlog! Getting bored of watching you post highlights of livestreams when I’ve already watched the stream. We miss the old school vlogs!

Saw lots of this on Brad’s vlog, probably the first time I’ve skipped any of one of yours because of that.

Please stop saying its ok too give pots too good guys! You need go drive a truck or do construction,then come back. Realize you have a gift but must play hard all time.

wow how many times did you LOSE a big hand only to get to chop it up on the 2nd runout? I lost count but those chops saved you a LOT of money...

This intro bumper music sucks. Please go back to your normal beats, great video as always!!

Those A's just killed you both days! But losing only 2300 for a two day session was not bad at all! Great video once again!

Was that your $160k worth of pink chips in the rack behind you? Just casual AF.

I don't understand why people run it twice? Might as well be playing with monopoly money.

Jesus! Mariano got fucked on so many river cards, no Vaseline or nothing. Felt the rage on those through the screen

those chairs look very uncomfortable, everyone is slumping across and over them.

I absolutely love flying allegiant in Austin. Having your own terminal is awesome and no wait for checking bags or security.

It was fun playing w you thanks for coming down to TX!

Why are you spoiling every run out. You don’t need need to say “unfortunately for me” before the turn is even dealt

Hopefully you didn’t pull a Rampage and take a middle seat on Allegiant back home.

Live vlog = 👍, stream vlog = 👎

Andrew's blocker bet should have been more and it would have gotten through.

You should let the card play out. Don’t be like we hold it’s a red card. We need some tension

Awesome vlog! …“Someone” makes it 350… Hilarious!!

bro saw you play, youre very decent card player i must say. you have got skill

Was watching you play 1/3 and 2/5 not that long ago. Love it man!

Mariano - I love the content and hearing your thought process on the hand histories! As an aspiring vlogger, can you lend some advice...what editing software do you use, and where do you get the music from?

The recaptures of all the streams is getting super stale , fresh vlogs would be nice

Anyone else see Brad’s recent video from this same stream then see this show up? lol

\o/

Barry Greinstein not working well for you this session 🤷‍♂️

How do we find out the MUG schedule? Is that still a thing..? 😳

Pinche Mariano living my dream Ayeee

Well same session as Wolfgangs vlog, but completely different hands 😂 where is the Q9 off and the 9-2 suites hand in your vlog? 🙈 Anyway good job mariano, you are one of the Best if not the Best poker blogger ❤

Ran incredible at running it twice! The way it goes sometimes.

You are really putting people in tough spots over and over again, really love to see you playing! Could you maybe stop spoiling every hand, for example with the As6s before the turn was dealt you already said "we are chopping, becausr turn is an ace". Little bit annoying with the spoiler already :D

Oh no, Bradley, no 😭 - to McJiggities even-

Tough vlog! Been watching you since the beginning. Can't wait to start my vlog journey.

Imagine buying in for 100k and then flying allegiant, haha

keep grinding ur in the groove to a great yr at the tables

Definitely enjoy the content. 😊

if you ran it once everytime you would have gotten wrecked

Of all the vlog hosts, Mariano is the one I want to play the least.

Watching your perspective and brad perspective of the JJ hand was nice

Great video once again. Those rivers were brutal.

Battle of the vloggers in first part. Some tough competition, but hands down, you're still best. Like the idea of old school vlog. Bring it on!!

Been tracking you and rooting for you for several years now. The body language on day 1 appeared bad. Never seen that from you before. Could that be connected to the outcome? Just pondering. Keep up the good work. Love your thought process during the hands.

Casino vlogs > livestream vlogs But any video still a banger

On your first day of the video I remember from watching the stream live that the commentator said you played some very long hours at the Hustler the night before then flew straight to Austin without much of sleep. We could visibly see you were very tired at the table and kept rubbing your forehead at times. You probably felt young and restless but playing poker when you are exhausted is not a winning recipe.

Stop crying about losing on the river 😢😂

Andrew filding 55, horrible fold. Real bad.

I actually liked how you played the last hand of the 2nd night. No just calling and letting him get there with a Jack or a 10. When you have the best hand and you know it, ya gotta be aggressive and fold out that equity!

The poker community is nice. First started watching Brad. Then neeme then rampage and now Mariano

As always, excellent content. Really enjoyed the intro montage on the editing side. Good luck in Vegas and looking forward to the “old school” vlog. You could go hard and use the drone too!

La "nuova" vecchia scuola funziona bene, continua cosi. Ciao

Mariano I’d love to see some of these live streamed vlogs with the other hands blurred out so we can sweat with you!! Just an idea that would be fun to see during certain hands if not all of them

It’s interesting to note that you were the pre-flop three better or aggressor in all the hands except the one where you had QQ and called vs Brad! Got unlucky in a few spots but still came out OK. Good job!

El Argentino wue juega poker!!!!

Met u at the aria in Vegas bro. Huge pleasure you’re the player I look up to the most. I’ve learned the most from u

I just watched Brad's video that included QQ vs. AQ, now I get to see Mariano's perspective

Bruh, a flop of 2/6/10 doesn't favor you (the 3-better.) You could say, "There is a high probability I'm still ahead with a hand like A/K or A/Q or A/J." But, as far as who has MORE COMBO's of the stronger hands on that flop, the caller does, and it's not even close. He will have most of the sets. He will have most of the straight-draws. He will have most of the pairs + backdoors. Etc.

Dooooood. Been waiting way to long for a video. 😢❤

jokes on brad when he lost to jijjities hhhahahaahahah love you guys

Yes, please do an old school vlog! Yours were probably the best around and I miss that format with all the streaming lately.

i was going to insta unsub had u lost to brad's TT XD

Why does Andrew always look like someone killed his cat these days? Hope all is well with him.

I want to see Mariano go back to 2-5 and run it up to 10/20 bankroll challenge

Jeez...when did you last sleep? 😂

Pretty fascinating to come here and watch these immediately after watching the same hands on Brad’s channel

My mans I was SWEATING that session with you. Great play!

I love how I just watched the JJ vs TT hand versus Brad in his vlog lmao

Filming next to an airport fence will get you arrested in many places.
