@@andyv123 ive played for years and ive never even seen a 7 bet lol. at my lvl after you 3 bet theyll basically either fold or jam lol. how deep ya gotta play to see 7 bets lol thats just weird to type.
Yeah you're blocking two of them to only end up being against the other two aces all in preflop. I can't remember a hand on ANY stream where someone six bet bluffed preflop. The closest thing I could remember is that insane hand by Ivey in Monte Carlo when he either six bet or 7 bet jammed Q high and got Jackson fold. People just don't do it. It's like the check raise bluff on the river in a $1/$2 game, it just doesn't happen.
Sad to see Mariano put on a fake nice guy act when in reality he's a disingenuous human. My friend and I experienced his true colors at Hustler. He sat in our smaller game after the show a few months back. He was constantly going all in, laughing when he sucked out and belittling us. My friend beat his AK with a straight and he rebought and kept saying we would all stay stuck poor playing there. Don't fall for the facade.
@Matzes ABC poker is only underrated if ur image is XYZ or if u play bottom stakes. If ur image is ABC and u play ABC, ur gonna be breakeven above bottom stakes.
I think its more the reputation... I would even say its harder to bluff weak players as they will call with everything. It also doesnt help to ship it into Aces pre flop or Aces full on the river lol
I've been playing poker for 30 years. Have seen many "pros" come and go. Sadly Mariano is on the way out. If he does manage to swing back, it will only be a matter of time before he goes busto.I've seen Mariano make some sick lay downs but all it takes is 1 bad day of bad decisions. That bad day will domino effect into the next day etc etc.
The most dangerous thing in poker is Running good over a prolonged period. and thinking youre better than the game- I lived through it... RUN GOOD Never lasts....
Alex, in the first hand, your description of Mariano’s AK vs the other guy’s AA is SPOT ON. Card removal goes out the window when you get 6-bet by an average player.
Well Brad plays tournaments, a lot of these cash guys won’t because that’s a whole different world that they can’t bluff their way thru. Also Brad owns a card room so he’s in a way different financial space than the sole RU-vidrs
I really wonder if Mariano could beat 200nl online. Like no hate but I think those guys online with huds would pick him apart. Wouldn’t be surprised if he would struggle at 100nl
Thank you for calling out the commentator for calling it a "developing cooler". Was so annoyed when I first saw it. Terrible commentators make it hard to watch some of these games. Talking just to talk.
5:10 Really? You don't understand this? If you have an ace, it's less likely that your opponent has two of them. What Mariano got wrong was not card removal, it was the fact that he overplayed his hand like a buffoon.
I have been playing poker for 35+ years... stud was most, but since NL holdem became popular since around 2003, I started playing NL a lot. I often see many young people on the game, they learned NL from watching TV, (wsop or other tourney) and act like pros...Many of them are super lucky, aggressive, and cocky. I realized that poker is not about the SKILL, it is pure luck. Mariano was one of them...I remember him when he just started poker vlog few years ago, we played at same table. I hope he finds right direction for his future.
Forsure. I’ve seen the biggest fish at the table completely run over the whole table on multiple occasions. I don’t care how good you are, if you run like shit you’re going to lose.
I thought Mariano and Rampage would be good poker players based off the poker highlights I saw when I first started watching them but holy moly they are fish
Offcourse that was a "TOUGH CALL" in the Tan V. Mariano hand... I do not care who you are a novice or Phil Ivey, it is never easy calling a big river bet when NOT ONLY did the front door flush come BUT ALSO there is a 4-Liner to the straight comes in as well EVEN if you do have a SET which in this case is MERELY a bluff catcher!!! Yes he may have taken a lil longer to make the call but it totally was a TOUGH CALL...
Especially since this guy is an amateur. He's probably not used to playing pots this large. Mariano could have literally anything. Mariano could have dust like he has here, but he could have also shown up with any 6 in the deck, or any two suited cards with the way he's been playing recently. It's always a tough call when everything get there
Mariano been giving to much action in stupid spots he knows he should he folding. Like same stream or last he called with queen high twice. I swear he only does it so he can look like a genius or something...
Listened to that podcast today. He’s a people pleaser who cares way too much what people think. My guess is nik airball or someone else from the stream said they don’t want to play with him
Not really surprised seeing those app game crushers lose big. Made their money from shady practices not playing cards - to much confidence given they blew up so fast and also coz they are used to winning all the time when they have suss edges on app.
I love the fallacy of "Blockers" at all statistically. Fun fact, you ONLY "Block" the two cards you have in your hand. It's more "Unlikely" someone has an Ace if you have pocket aces, but its entirely possible someone else got dealt the other two aces.
@@danielfcastro Not confused at all. Perhaps you are confused on the semantics of it, but the term block implies that you are prevented from having a hand not that it's "less likely". AK doesn't block your opponent from having Aces.
I remember early Mariano vids when he was playing $2-5 just a few years back. Now he's playing nose bleed stakes on Hustler live stream? That screams one thing to me. LUCK BOX. Out of the millions of people in the US who play poker, somebody has to win the lucky lotto ticket.
Mariano seems like a nice guy. Just like any poker player, he can play bad from time to time. I've watch Mariano for awhile now and he's come a long way. Stop putting hate video just for content.
i don't enjoy people playing poker like it's roulette. it takes the soul out of what it ought to be. So his reasoning to play like this because it's a stream is not very convincing. Every one enjoyed watching him when he played reasonably well, picked good spots for his bluffs and and made sure to have an edge by having at least some preflop hand selection. I have much more respect for players playing well and maybe also getting bluffed out once in a while or giving up on the river instead of pulling some rampage suicide bluff out of desperation.
Well there is something called preference. Some people like this content, some people don't. And yet more other people don't even see the content because of the YT algorithm, hence the channel's growth. It would be more accurate to say that you like the channel, unless you actually are this ignorant and stupid and needed my pedantic douchey explanation at the beginning, though I AM assuming that you are not that dumb. I've been wrong before.
After playing poker now for almost 20 years- is there a MORE overrated hand Than AK pre flop?? At BEST you are flipping and you have to hit a card, essentially on a draw.
The way Mariano plays shows, he doesn’t have respect for his money 😢to grow or win !! Damm I’d love to play against him but I don’t have big bankroll!!but I can play for you and make you money ??
totally agree with you. yes AK technically removes some of the AA combos. But than again the 6 bet removes all other combos then AA from his range. the concept of blockers applied in spots like this is just an overplay.
How wierd you make a whole video about somebody else. Lol looks pretty weak. 😅 @mariano may have had a few bad plays but overall the dude is solid and entertaining. Why dont you play this entertaining and make vids about yourself.
I've seen him and rampage punt off, at this point it's a mix of gambling addiction and the chip in the shoulder effect that you have to out play everybody
When ur not playing with your own money it’s easy to play the way he plays bluffing and just calling a lot chasing And raising its Not your $$ so no stress
Listen take away there bank rolls and most of this cash game players wouldn’t make it to the 4th round of a tournament. Jamming with off suit AK is so poor that it’s a wonder that every shark isn’t inviting this awful player to there cash games.
Mariano has always played like shit. His excuse for everything is " I just felt like calling/raising etc etc" He deserves to lose. His ego is bigger than his bank roll
You can see it in his demeanor and body language. He doesn't want to be there, he's not having fun. I think it's painfully obvious to EVERYONE but Mariano. Take a break, take your gf somewhere nice!
even a beginer would have played these hands with a lot more decency. These are one of the worst played hands I have ever seen doubting if the guy even knows how to play :)))
I absolutely hate when people sit there for 10 min after the opponent clearly is strong and 4 bets or even 5 bets like dude just fucking raise or shove he’s calling almost everytime u don’t have to sit there and huff and puff like your some top tier player outplaying someone
Hes definitely not a whale get real. Sure he ran like god and he’s likely not as good as his results, but the dude is not easy to play. He can clearly bluff and any point and will value bet light so good luck when you’re holding good hands.
5:00 I've never seen a more incompetent representative of the poker world than Veronica Brill. She may be a nice person but she has zero understanding of poker dynamics.
Pretty possible. Live play and private games are completely different. He is building his image here, the profit or loss is not the main priority in live games
That's the beauty of the web. You can san anything you want and a lot of people will believe it. P/L in cash games is impossible to prove or disprove That's why profitable players love cash.
Clearly Mariano was trying to get a non full house ace to fold - so your commentary on the probability of one of his opponents having an ace is stupid.
