INSANE Session at $5-$10 | Poker Vlog #63 

Jaw dropped on that last hand. what a video man, gotta be one of your best one yet. Need more vids from you!

The action guy clearly likes you because you don't pander to him and give action. 100% he plays differently versus the unsocial poker nits

I have learned SO MUCH from watching your play. Your explanations of whats really going on deep in the game is what makes these so watchable.

Never been so hyped to see a short film drop ever since subbing to Mariano.

Your production level is off the charts.

Your Vlog has actually improved. Much more of YOU in the narration. Enjoying it much more. Keep up the good work.

This is one of the most enjoyable episodes of any poker vlog I have seen in awhile. Love the long session, love the analysis, love the exploitive aggressive play against the whale. Well deserved results. I never would have won that hand at the end in a million years!

I got to say this is absolutely one of my favorite vlogs I've seen in a long time, well done.

As well as this being your best video so far, I'd say that this is probably the single best poker vlog of the year, dude! Been following your progress since day one, and so happy to see you smashing it.

Its always a blast to have guys like him at the table.. Not only a good sport about taking beats and giving them but just the vibe they give off. Yes poker is all about the money to the grinds but in reality 90% of the people that play are just there to have fun and relax.

Man, one of the best poker videos I’ve ever watched.

Amazing episode. I’ve been playing scared after some brutal losses but this short film felt like a double shot of courage.

Mariano in so many words, "If the VIP wants to straddle and bomb pots, indulge him!" Nice way to put it sir! 🤑

Welcome back, awesome play. Huge respect for how you handled the big player. Leaving with a smile after donking off his whole stack, priceless.

I don’t understand how you don’t have as many subs as Brad Owen. I think your analysis is better and production quality is higher. Just cashing my ticket for being an early subscriber before it blows up

“ I just don’t care “ 🤣🤣 I felt the aggression lol

This one's gonna require 2 spliffs, excellent content as always! Haven't even watched yet lol. You and RP are my new favorite poker vloggers, been watching both since day 1. Your hard work the last 18 to 20 months has shown! Keep it up and great luck!

Do your thing Mariano. Who cares if they don’t show their cards, I’d rather just take the win.

My favorite Mariano phrase is “if he’s got _____ , God bless him” 😆😆😆

A crazy hand that will surely be talked about for a while. Props to you for protecting people’s identity. Classy. I Look forward to much more good times man!

I want to thank you for the work put into these, today was my first time playing live and after having watched these I felt far more armed than I would have otherwise been. Even through my nerves it payed off incredibly well so thanks again.

Bro I love players like that they’re so good for the game! Great job my man. Some coolers but you played great. Loved the video

Mariano, excellent episode. I really enjoy your ability to think your hands and spots critically and in the end, in my humble opinion, that's why ur consistently winning.

Mariano THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH for saying you dont make people show. People gripe about that in every single one of my episodes and it drives me nuts. Great vid as always!!!

not sure what is more stunning over these years w/ you, Mariano - thinking back when Morongo was "More Wrongo" for you, or watching you play 5-10 when I remember you wondering if you should be taking shots at 2-5. congrats! glad to join you on the journey.

Mariano man.... you never fail to keep me engaged for 30+ minutes, amazing work

Haha, why didn't you make him show his hand? Joking. I cracked up when you went on mini tilt in your commentary. LOL

Terrific poker Vlog Mario. Truly your best to date. Anytime there’s an action player or two at your table, you do exactly what you showed us; that is, get involved. And I especially enjoy how you read this certain player. His mannerisms tell you that he’s not a tilting player, but one who enjoys the thrills of the moment. You cannot dream up a better player! I’ll be sure to watch this one again. Great work.

17:47 That read of the EP bet out on a 652 rainbow board is exactly the type of table awareness that is required to be a winning poker player. +1

Imagine the adrenaline rush after that last river card, wow

Can't believe it took me over 2 months to happen on this session. This might be the best poker vlog session I've ever seen. No offense to Ethan/Rampage and or Dr Jiggety, Mr Brad Owen who I follow and respect tremendously, love their content but man, this was really fun to watch. Nice work, Brochacho!

Man that last hand was wild, something you only see in movies 😂 All having an Ace, one guy with a straight, one with 2 pair, then you binking the nuts on the river is just absurd bruh

That mid vlog tilt is a signature move that only Mariano has. Absolutely brilliant

One of the most enjoyable sessions I've ever watched.

Mariano don’t get tilted over people not knowing that it’s proper etiquette to not ask someone to show the losing hand. You are a very solid player and you do a fantastic job explaining why you do what you do. Great job brother!

Wow. That final hand man. Absolutely crazy... can only imagine the how it feels to lose in that hand, let alone scoop the pot. Well done, and thanks for sharing!

@Mariano that last hand was epic! this is by far your best vlog

Had a similar situation at md. Live couple years ago. Guy just kept going all on blind, over course of an hour punted off over 5k. Only got him once myself and it was 2 5 game. Crazy crazy. He just wanted to give some players some free money.

I think your behavior in this video shows a ton about where you're at as a pro and your understanding of what socializing at the poker table looks like. Pretty impressive considering the short time you have spent playing. Keep crushing man

This is the GOAT of videos from the GOAT of poker vlogging

Man, that’s incredible. Thank you for the content. And what a way to cap it off with a trip to in n out. Way to go.

That last hand was crazy! one guy all in blind, and one guy calls with A7 off suit LOL talk about action!

That A4 is actually crazier than people think. Last Ace in the deck on the turn, last 4 in the deck on the river. That's actually nuts.

I usually don’t make my opponent show their cards when I can see they are reluctant to do so either. It’s fine. I don’t really need to see them most of the time.

first time i have actually CRACKED UP watching a poker vlog. GREAT to have a "relationship" with a player that wants to GAMBLE.

The scenic views you provide and the way you edit your videos is on point! 🔥

Amazing Mariano! Been watching you since the beginning! Great to see you take it down.

Flipping over the jack was the mind F that you needed to hit the "thinker" with. Thats the stuff they don't teach you. 😅

Absolute BINK! On the river!! I’ve had the privilege playing with a few guys that just enjoy the conversations and could care less about money, please everyone take notes, these guys are amazing for the game buy them a beer, joke with them, and make them feel at home and they will spew more money than you can imagine.

Thanks Mariano. That hand all in on the river and turning over the jack to entice the call... that is jacks! Kudos!

"I don't wanna hear anymore about it!! You're gonna get banned!!" 😂 I love your humour

I follow different poker vlogs since several years. There were some good vlogers in the past who dramatically decreased the quality of their production and now poker is just a minor topic between selling clothes and promoting restaurants. There were some others which were very fun to watch, but the level of the game wasn't good enough. In my opinion, currently you make the best poker vlogs on youtube - you play smart and attractive poker, you mix it with a good dose of humor, and your video editing skills are making it visually very pleasant to watch! Thanks for the fantastic content!

That guy going all in blind is a legend! best bit of action I’ve seen on a poker vlog!

one of my favorite vlogs so far as i am going through all of your videos :D what an amazing player you ran into it's almost worth all the losses just to stumble upon a player like him. well player and well deserved to have more than a double up!

This is easily the wildest session I have seen on a poker vlog.

Intro: That landscape may as well be on the moon. What an inhospitable environment.

OF COURSE you are gaining equity revealing your hand out of turn because you increase the likelihood of future bluffs from opponents who can at least remove from their decision-making process the risk of a humiliating exposure if their bluff fails. With you 100% on this. Btw, thanks for a VERY entertaining video!

"You can shear a sheep a thousand times, but only skin him once." No need to make casual players show their hands if you've won. Embarrassing them on top of it just makes them want to quit.

Literally that other player was not playing. All in blind from dinner. Zero F's given. I love it. I wish I can get on that level. Monster win. Congrats.

Wow a guy that doesn't take over a month to edit.. very refreshing. Everyone else needs to get their shit together. Makes us feel more a part of the journey if it's recent

I don't wait to make recreational players table their hand if they look like they don't want to. No reason to embarrass them, just keep it a fun game for them. But if it's someone who I know to be a slow-roller or angle shooter, I will wait until they table their hand or muck. But typically, I agree with you.... the amount of "information" you get is trivial in comparison to the amount of money it costs you if a recreational player thinks the game is too serious about stupid rules and leaves because they're not having fun.

Damn man, 15 min. to play? You gotta be one of the luckiest dudes around. Don’t apologize for the lengthy video, the more hands the merrier. Can’t get enough of the play...addict.

Great content as always. Wicked good production values. I've actually done some research about calling ranges against blind shoves - it happened a couple of times at tables I was at and I realized that (1) it was an incredible EV opportunity, but (2) I had no idea of correct calling ranges. I'm pretty sure, though, that AQs makes the cut. It is a little unnerving that somebody has shoved in front of you, but they should probably be shoving any ace and most kings (as you say) and with the action guy's money in the pot with two random cards, you certainly have great equity. And it's always nice to go runner-runner-nuts for a $7500 pot. Full marks also for just showing your hand and not forcing the other guy to do it. That's just good etiquette and good manners and the information you're giving up is nothing compared to the good karma you're spreading. Usually when they hesitate to show, any decent value hand is the nuts. If you get slow-rolled, meh, that's his problem, not yours. Great work, and *please* stay safe out there.

You're by far the most interesting vlogger out here in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

When he said I got lucky on you, your heart must've exploded for a second....then sheer bliss, a second later haha! Very nice man! I could sure use a hand like that!

in the pocket 8s hand you can see the player on your lefts cards when he looks at them. He folded but.... oops.. 74o!

I love it too when you have players around you that love to just splash their money around👍🏽👍🏽

That last hand was sick! Makes me want to head to Morongo this week! Lol

i am the player who bluffed you when you had 3 jacks. thanks for not making me show my bluff

I am always happy to straddle, always happy to get a fold without making people show, always happy to engage other players with whatever makes it fun for them - running it twice, or showing a card or whatever weirdness. On your dry side pot hand - I would have raised smallish on the turn, just to prevent a dry side pot and would have said I was doing it to provide a "little" bit of protection for the all-in player. Then on the river, you can bet small or medium with there being some possibility of it being a bluff, and thus get called a little bit lighter from the third player. I usually try and avoid getting into a dry side pot situation if I think I am ahead.

This is the best video that I seen from You. The action player must be intervied. Its really good for the game. If you play with thigh players only the house wins. I loved

Is there anyway I can double-like this? Such a great vlog bro. Keep it up!

Mariano you are so cute with your comment love it! My favorite poker blogger...doesn't hurt you are good eye candy too but more so your humor is the bomb! thanks for helping make this stay at home order a little better.

started to watch your vlog a few weeks ago. Really enjoy your video. Learning a lot from your comments, analysis and reasoning. I'll look for you the next I go to Morongo.

New wave poker for 2021 ✅ the flop 95% of the time, the last hand is exactly why I don’t put a time limit on any of my sessions nice ☝🏽sir! 👏🏽

Holy s$%* that was a $7500 river since you were losing to the A7 two pair. I wish I could like this video more than once. Gotta be your best ever.

As a former Shift Manager / Tournament Director in Vegas for 9 years, I have to strongly recommend that you hold on to your cards until the pot is pushed to you. You turbo muck virtually the same time your opponent folds. One of these times someone is going to pull a shot on you, and you'll have no hand to defend yourself.

Wow. I remember when you had lesser than 10k subscribers and now you’ve blown up! Congrats dude!

This has to be the most epic sessions I've seen in a long time from watching so many RU-vid poker vlogs. Congratulations! Hope you gave the dealer a nice tip. I fucking hate people who win big pots and give a buck or 2

One of the best poker videos I’ve ever watched

"Even though I thought I was done with the hand, now I'm back" hahahahah

That last hand is LEGENDARY! I was laughing for awhile and happy for you.

Dude...F the haters. Never heard you get so animated as to people judging your style of play. Let it go. You're a great player and put out awesome content...haters gon hate bro!! Just keep doing you. I wish you continued success and thanks for your vlogs, they're top notch.

One of your best vlogs man. Still watching your old vlogs everyday after i got home from work. Keep it up man🤙 #quality

You are blowing up my man. Happy to see it. Hopped on the watch train when you won that competition for JohnnyVibes. Keep the grind going.

Nice vlog. Glad it played out in your favor. JJ vs 10s was a nice breakdown. Nice move the c better.

That last hand... imagine waking up with KK in that situation and seeing that you're crushed! I would give up on poker.

The only thing I suggest is to let us know what you buy in for at the beginning and maybe let us know throughout where you stand. The entire video I had no idea what size your stack was. The size of the stack plays a big part on how you play your hands. If I missed it sorry.

Great session, and ending with the little dig back for In-N-Out was superb!

Haha, "dont get me all riled up in the middle of one of my blogs" as he gets riled up.

Hey Mariano! Great video, 40 mins of pure entertainment. I’m curious if you have any plans to make a video about yourself and how you got into poker? I’ve been picking up the game for about a year and a half now and you’re an inspiration to me. I went to school for graphic design and eventually hope to start my own poker-related creative content. If it’s too personal and something you don’t want to discuss publicly I totally understand, but I have all kinds of questions about your poker experience! Thanks again for the content, keep it up bro!

This one was so good, I had to watch it twice.

im literally laughing my asss offfff on that last hand lol omggg

That last hand was nutty! 2 pair vs Straight vs Flush! What a way to end a session.

WOW, INSANE SESSION... 🤘🤯🤯🤯

Love that last hand. This video was pretty exciting.

I yelled out "yes!!" When you rivered the nut flush on the last hand!!!!! Nice win for the good guys!

it's always nice to finish a session off with a huge monster pot!

I love the intro music! I need to get that on loop in my house when I have gals over 😮😊

The last hand is absolutely amazing..seems like a video game hand..amazing 👏
