Super Swingy $5-$10 Session | Poker Vlog #84 

The casual " i lied " killed me.

“I literally thought 8 times 50 was 200” - Mariano

I remember vlog #1. Playing $1-$3 at San Manuel... Nowadays $5-$10 is your "bread and butter." You've come a long way Mariano. Good onya.

"Oh you did say that shit huh" LMFAOOOOOO man

I have been fantasizing about just being some vagabond poker player and found your videos. I was initially going to play in Vegas but I saw the Morongo is only a 3 hour drive away. So I got off work yesterday and went there to play my first real life casino poker. Ended up with 5 racks at the 1 - 2 in just 3 hours. Started with 100 and ended up cashing out 500. Really amazing experience. Thanks for uploading it has truly been a big part of my life.

It’s fun watching you play, learn a ton, love your style.

"I lied" "you're not that guy pal, you're not that guy."

Props to Morongo for continuing to have an open poker room during COVID. Pechanga has said they will be reopening their poker room, eventually, but it is still closed and has been closed since March 2020..

in terms of production quality, your vlogs are my favourite of all poker vlogs. always enjoy them and the way you explain your thought process is top notch. keep up the good work!

Wouldn’t that $50 bomb pot 8 ways have $400 in it and not $200 going to the flop?

Another vlog another win. Not surprised

You are one of my favorite poker players on here. Thank you for all you do🙏

Definitely the best poker vlogger in the biz right now.

5:24 pretty sure a solver would suggest to use AA and sometimes KK as your overpair checks but not QQ.

I would LOVE to see you get into a MUG with Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen! You and Andrew are my favourite vloggers btw. Great video, sir!

It's amazing the amount of luck you have. Hitting 2, 3, and 4 outters regularly is basically unbeatable. Not sure if it's just me but I have trouble hitting pairs, let alone straights and sets at your frequency.

Avoiding that chop with the Queen was a 10000iq move

8x50=400🤣 Great vlog as usually!

the confident I LIED got me hahah

Bro you’ve come along way in such a short time as a player and Vlogger. I throughly enjoy your content my friend and a little embarrassed to say that you’re already a better poker player than me and I’ve been playing since 2005 😄

I like your vlog because you are so upbeat. Love that

It’s actually a good lie for later in the game if his hand loses he doesn’t lose any credibility if he just throws his hand away. He hear you two reveal your hands so if he gets out flopped he doesn’t have to show. It took me a while but maybe that’s what he was thinking.

"I LIED" AND HE WAS PROUD OF IT LMAO

"I lied" lmaoo

I really love your vlog, nice footage and beautiful presentation. I have a request, could you please add your position and the position of the opponent in that given hand in the graphics? thx a lot, great show!

Becoming best friends with Ethan is definitely +EV, if you’re going to be in each game he plays.

Great videos! I like the way you play! I’m trying to take it all in so when I play I play smart!!

Looking forward to ur LA sessions with Rampage =) Hopefully I can run into u guys at the Gardens.

Congrats 🍾🎈 Mariano! I noticed you had on an Argentine soccer jersey a few vlogs back. Are your parents from Argentina 🇦🇷???

That’s a nice Puma jumper.

You always get a thumbs up from me, so if you see me in Vegas you better say hi! Off course if I am visiting. I live in one of the best places in CA, care to guess? Stearns Wharf is the clue.

Good video! Drone footage was icing on the cake 🎂

The brick board was hilarious 🤣

You rampage and Brad Owen makes the best poker videos 👌👌

Lovely video as always! Great play as well!

20:00 My boy. I think your river bet here was too large. Thinking about the hands that you are trying to get your opponent to fold they fall into several categories. 1.) Whiffed diamond draws which will fold to any bet. 2.) Single pairs like 33-TT as well as Jx hands which should all fold to more than about 40% pot. 3.) Qx which might get a little bit stickier but should still fold to a bet of 70% pot or more. Then there are the hands that your opponent MIGHT fold. Those include trips, straights and weak flushes. But these hands will only fold if they are at risk of significant pain if they lose (like if you were to overbet 2x pot or more). The issue with betting pot is that it's not enough to get your opponent to fold a king or better but it's probably more than you need to bet to get him to fold a queen. So when he has one of those hands he's never folding you just lose more than necessary. I think you bet $150 here and it accomplishes the same thing as betting the pot only you risk less. Feel free to provide any thoughts you have on this analysis?

Yo salute that queen 10 bluff on the ace I would have never done that nice play

I wait for your videos to learn and enjoy!

lmfaoooo "i lied" what a guy

The "I Lied" was hilarious 😂

You gotta show some love to the Cabazon Dinosaurs in your next visit to Morongo.

Is your video editing self taught? What do you use and do you have any tips for a video editor in the making? I work in a different field, not looking to take on the poker field! 😉😎

i see u like flying the drone

Every great vlog comes to an end when they try and get us to join a club. Was a good run, gg

I would love to see what the solver spits out on the AK hand. I think you're wrong. I think you should be shoving that, hoping Matt folds, and isolating the all in. Worst case scenario, he calls, and you end up right where you did, but now you have to get through 2, instead of just 1

We finally decided to subscribe because your presentation is very clear, concise and easy to follow and understand. As Pinoy American living in Las Vegas we are kind of obligated to follow your poker adventures wherever you are. We are the Dondoyano’s, Ben & Paz…

Love your vlog, love ur style ,hoping u can upload a new one everyday 😂

Last hand. If you think about it Any Ax is better than JKs so fold is good cause it's $1000 to call. Yes he was going all in a lot but you said he doesn't care about money and you do.

Aces have only ever been cracked online, where they are cracked on average 4 out of 5 times. 🤣🤣 Awesome video, love your content.

The swings of poker! Great vlog man.

its nice to watch someone run well on the felt.....because i sure as hell don't

Do you really only post your winning sessions?

As usual great content. Maybe when you spend time with Rampage, you can give him some lessons. Very informative.

New to poker, can someone explain to me why opponent lose at 19:56 doesn't he have 2 pairs?

Nice job Mariano. You’re a class act 👍

Why does the dealer deal out the rest of the deck face down, after the river?

Cool session. Not sure what the rules are for filming sessions overseas, but would be cool to see some international sessions. I'm in Copenhagen and a gentleman said I sounded just like you :). (I'm from Laguna Niguel). "Clouds over Copenhagen"

Glad you are taking young Ethan under your wing. He was starting to unravel before our eyes

Let’s goooo my arm made the vlog

Bro love your channel and love the idea of Ethan and you! joining forces on occasions. Will be joining poker gg and maybe be on the receiving end of the recent donations! Lol

Where you been big guy? Let's get these vlogs rolling again

I'm not trying to be results oriented but can we fold AK in this spot since we only invested 40$ with Matt still behind us? I know it was a shove of only 40bb by the limper, but by calling we are commited a stack of 150bb .Shouldn't we avoid this and wait for a better spot?

Feel like in low stakes im always overthinking and don’t realize people will call you down with only bottom pair 🤦🏽‍♂️.

"I lied" I guess he is a very honest man lol

Something very bad happened at 14:16 when the dealer pulls off the yellow cover card off the bottom of the deck and exposes the card on the bottom of the deck as he is counting the remaining cards. Your camera picked it up and potentially you could have seen that card on the bottom which looks to be the 8s. Since the 9s is on the board and you're still in the hand this is extremely poor for the dealer to do this. This could be done on purpose to help another player figure out what cards are out. I know it may seem to be a bit of a stretch but the dealer should never do that.

Villian goes all in with A9 with just a pair and draw?! Merry Xmas lol

What do you use for your shots inside where you play and the for the hands? Just an iPhone or an actual camera?

Do u have ANY hands where u r challenged by your hand selection vs a full run out of cards, this is just either ridiculous or a rigged event?

Brad Owen winning/losing sessions seem very realistic. Also Rampage started showing his losing sessions. Why not you Mariano? I don’t think you are a better player than Brad playing the same stake. So why is there such a big discrepancy in the winning rate?

been waiting all week for this sir!

Austin.. bradowen i guest will play also

Hi!! Can I ask what you're using to record the live sessions? Thanks!

Dealer flashes an 8c at 14:17 haha

Why did the JJ guy get the whole pot? He only had 40 bb and the AK guy went all in afterwards. You two should've had a side pot that you two chop right?

Me seeing 1/4 of villain's knuckles: oh yah dude that's gonna be aces

Mariano winning another bomb pot not surprising 😂😂😂

Me taking notes 📝

How much is your BR, just a range please

19:53 wait did you win or lose that hand I'm confused

Haha. You never ever lose on a vlog. Ever! Not saying your lying but WTF?!?

would you ever do a 1-3 at agua?

11:42 if there's 8 players in a $50 bomb pot wouldn't it be $400 and not $200?

I think it should be somewhat obvious Mariano is handpicking sessions to share. Even though that is almost certainly true he is a beast player and I really like his playstyle. It is his right to vlog WTF he wants.

Hey bro I have a question, do you have to file tax at the end of the year of your winnings?

Man you run good😂😂fire video tho

Curious if you still work out at LA Fitness?? Do you know Alex Mayweather?

The last hand you went over at the end of the vlog..Im assuming your opponent had A/8 of clubs. The only line that makes any sense, then again Ppl play ANY 2 cards haha.

Some of those all ins 🤔

Love the way you play...

Come to Dallas!!!

Ive watched alot of your videos, you get away with playing like a maniac, because your opponents are pretty weak. California poker is sweet.

50 dollar bomb pot. 8 handed is 400 Not 200. Thought first time was a mistake. Then you did it again Wild

Guy to your left had some King Kong fingers

"King Jack?! You called with King Jack?!"

Didn't realize you were playing with Tony G. 😂😂

“I lied” lol

Great Vlog sure you know this but you seriously butchered some hands tonight ♥️🚬

When you turned the Jack for the nut straight, I thought I heard Michael Jackson at the table.

So have you basically gone pro now?

Hey Mariano, is Blackjack legal in CA? I saw the sign in your video.
