It’s because your easily offended bro and faint of heart
love your personality and your chill. Nick, let him go.
Lol
Think of the Saw game, you have to make Nick VPIP above 40% for you to leave. JK
Mariano: ‘at the Lodge everyone is trying hard. You only see people punting at Hustler.’
Texas Mike and Tesla: ‘are we a joke to you?’
yeah the last streams from Lodge have been way better than any HCL stream ever
imo
Mariano seems like the realsest most honest and down to earth dude on Hustler. I root for him because I like his style on and off the felt
Great interview! Hope to go to one of the meet up games with my dad soon.
I’ve noticed over the last couple months or so that Mariano is giving too much action and 3-betting pre-flop way too wide. I think he needs to real it back a bit. Airball seems to of altered his game and has actually been playing tighter and winning. He won +330k at the lodge yesterday with the lowest VPIP (19%) at the table. The mega whale Tesla had the highest VPIP (75%) and lost -620k.
Nick your show is becoming poker gossip gold!
I love that for him
Nick, love the podcast set up. Can’t believe I haven’t subscribed yet. Can’t wait to see more from you guys
Andy is just salty with that straight flush beat down he got from Mariano.
Does Nick sleep with those shades?
Nick + DGAF have a 2 yr ongoing bet to see who can wear them the longest. It's a dead heat so far 💰
This makes so much sense😂
He’s Italian he thinks he’s tough
I’m friends with everyone, so not trying to start shit, but G-Man caught a bunch of crap for “manipulating” lineups, yet in this episode, it was revealed that a lot of people are guilty of the same thing…. Selective accusations…..?
Trying to figure out how nittuci can relate to a downswing when he only plays the nuts! 🥴🤦🏻♂️
Well if you’re a nit people just fold when u have it u will go on a downswing
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
Rampage and Mariano are feeling the variance. I can name 500 poker players that were flying high and went broke. Players tend to go to higher and higher stakes until they ruin. A smart player plays the game they can easily beat and stays there.
Name checks out
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
Believe me even if you stay on lower games,there would always ups and downs , mostly downswings
Unlike the older generation of, Mariano and Rampage likely make a significant income from illegally raked app games ( SplashSquad club GG) which is in part why they are less prone to going broke. Also hustler live is the softest games; you would have to be an idiot to go broke having access to these games.
Bes5 comment ever ,,,,
Excellent interview, NV & Veronica! Keep up the fight, Mariano!

Hi Nick, re: The AA KK KK hand Mariano referenced? I was involved in that exact situation a few weeks ago. An astonishing 3 way all-in and I had one of the KK's... My K❤ flush won. How Sick eh? True story and wow wow wow! (PS: One pissed off maniac who finally had the goods on the button and had both KK players well covered... One sad walk off.)
Mariano gives value. The guy is straight up and would be welcome at most tables.
This is PROOF that these "live streams" are an absolute 🤡 show .. seems to be all for publicity 🤦
Except their is real money being won and lost
Great interview! It's intriguing that Mariano doesn't have any backers in these High Stakes formats. Additionally, rather than just poker skill, being a super loose action player is necessary to thrive in the big poker games. Otherwise, you risk not being invited back, which can ultimately devastate your bankroll.
How can not being invited devastate your bankroll?
If you don't play, you money stays where it is. Happy money. Not devastated financials
It's theoretically possible to be in a downswing for years. That's what variance is. Every hand is independent of the last one in terms of the randomness of the cards.
The key word in your statement is “theoretically”...in REALITY, no one goes on a legitimate downswing for years (thousands of hands). That’s an absurd notion and NOT the way variance plays out in REALITY.
@@faulrevere8938If something is theoretically possible it means it is possible IN REALITY. And you wouldn't know if it's happened yet because you aren't independently measuring the EV of every single player on the planet.
That's the nature of variance and selection bias. It's possible to play by the book and still lose. And every hand is 100% independent from one another.
At the end of the day you're playing a game of chance and it's possible to run bad independent of who you are or how well you play hands.
@@rustycolon9368 Nah I mean that's mostly semantics to say that you can witness low probability events nonstop without cluing into something being off. If a poker player is on a downswing that only 1% of players of skill level x are going to experience in a given year, say, they should already be highly suspect of it being a downswing vs bad play. If that same player is on a downswing that only .00001% of players of skill level x experience, the odds are overwhelming that they are NOT the exceptionally unlucky x skilled player; they are simply below skill level x.
It is also the case that avoiding plays which result in extreme variance is part of good bankroll management and good play as well; if you choose to grind up $10k at 1/3 over the course of a year and then lose $600k one evening on a Hustler Friday game, yes that could absolutely be a downswing, especially just over the 200 hands or so you play at one night, but that is also extremely bad bankroll management and the sign of a bad poker player even if they were legitimately very unlucky too.
@@rustycolon9368 This is completely untrue. It is impossible to get your money in good hundreds of times in a row and not at least break even.
If you have three losing poker sessions in a row it is 99% likely that there is something wrong with your game. Its almost impossible to be playing decent poker and lose more than three session in a row.
Variance is a myth.
@@JohnSmith-su3zeVariance is a mathematical fact.
It's precisely why it's not impossible for that to happen.
It's also why it's possible to hit 10 reds in a row on the roulette wheel. Same reason it's possible to count cards and play perfect strategy and still lose.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and you sound like another poker degen who likes to pretend it isn't fundamentally gambling.
Mahalo to the HCL ‘ohana for providing Grade A entertainment. I also loved the Perspective given when we run thru rough patches; get back to ‘ohana and counting your blessings! Mahalo!
lol man tbh I rather watch Mariano rather thanAndy any day . He plays the 86o hand so he can get paid off later . Tournament would be a terrible play , but in a Cash game it’s good for balance
mariano the goat
So Airball had beef with Mariano for playing tight and tanking calls. Airball has lost 8 million dollars. Now, Airball plays tight and tanks calls. Mariano is my favorite player and has always been the most fun to watch due to his great play. Vertucci nailed it when he said losing players hate the winning players.
I watch a lot of HCL but I don't remember Andy having any beef with Mariano...
Looks like the Politics of Poker are taking it's toll... Dude hasn't looked happy for a while. Hope the "fun" of Poker finds it's way back.
Someone should stake Mike Postle and get him on Hustler, views through the roof
Best interview yet
What happened to Ben? I never see him play anymore.
"We Love and Respect you Nick Vertucchi". Said no one ever.
Mariano is a Big Deal he gets me ro watch the streams great player
Mariano be like he changed my life what he means ( I need to kiss ass to keep playing in the live game )🤣
Nicks body language to mariano was so passive aggressive when he said, "You can go to the lodge GO, you can go to commerce" (whilst, shaking head no).
Speaking to him like he's some sort of handler of his or something. Hes definitely his manipulator for SUREEEEEE
Guest:
Nick: That’s nice now I’m going to talk about me
I like how everyone ignores app game money
What’s the payroll number ? Or range. That’s interesting and seems like Nick is getting better at interviewing. His co host and him asked some good questions. I’ve seen other poker podcast and it’s not as captivating
❤
O, I thought Garrett was the Bully of the Hustler live stream??
Thanks
We should do an update to the interview post airball tanking for 24 minutes with a straight against the literal loosest player in the game right now, the stream almost caught up lol
I agree with Mariano when he said he would rather watch good poker play than watch some rich people punt their money.
If he's truly only playing once a week, for a few hours at a time, and feels like he's on a long break even stretch over the last 6 months, I truly feel for him bc this could continue way way longer than is probably imaginable.
What do you get per hour in terms of dealt hands on stream? 20? 25?
Sessions last for what 8hrs? 6? Even if we're generous and consider post stream play, let's say you get 250 hands a session. A 50k hand break even stretch can take 200 sessions. Playing once a week... that's like almost 4 years worth of the hypothetical graph moving sideways.
I prefer to watch good poker. It’s fun to see them mix it up and play bad hands, but once the flop comes I want to see them play their game. I think Mariano has a good mixture, so what’s the problem? Because he’s better than most players on the stream? Go study and you can be that too. Letting airball dictate everything is getting old.
I guess snowflake vertucci decided the faint of heart warning at the beginning was hypocritical! Nick is the most easily offended person in poker
Your a true OG Mariano! Respect! Good luck!
Mariano, keep playing smart and win your money. Eventually in a couple of years find an out and move on to other safer business ventures.
We want to see some action players and some pros mix, I personally don’t watch unless Mariano is playing because I enjoy watching pros play over fish. Pros battling is pure poker gold.
Love him or hate him, Mariano has uncanny business sense. He's absolutely right on the zero sum nature of the streaming business. HCL must pay attention.
That really sucks that Mariano can’t play the way he plays cause if he does airball will black ball him and he can’t win to much cause people get mad it’s not fair I feel for Mariano he’s stuck cause he wants to play but he can’t play the way he plays cause he’s to good
I don’t think anyone outside Nick and Ryan should have ANY input on who plays. To be honest, I don’t even think Vertucci should be playing. Nick, you play beyond tight and it’s your own show, that is where the problem lies….But I don’t call the shots, so do what you must….
I enjoy nicks podcast but even he knows, he wouldn't be on hustler if he didn't own it. It is fun to hope he loses though. Top 3 guys I like to see lose, Luda, Airball, Nick..
i meant The tiger sign on the right is not straight
So rampage and Mariano are on the same cycle ?
Rampage literally said he takes peoples money from TH-cam and punts it off and that he believes poker is all luck 🤦
Andy is Mariano’s son
Loved this and huge huge fan of Mariano!
Mariano is a solid dude!
Can Someone explain to me why Andy does not like Mariano?
Andy was supposedly on a downswing and he thinks Mariano is too tight for the game…. Andy wants rich shitttyy loose players at his table
@TheNickVertucciShow why does Nick Airball have so much perceived power in the stream world? Just because he has a huge trust fund and can afford to light money on fire to be popular, he shouldn’t be allowed to force other people to hate money too. Trust me, you would not lose viewers without him on the show. Yet it seems like he’s the new Garret when it comes to making lineups.
The tiger sign on the left is not straight
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
Running bad and loosing money is part of poker if you can’t hack that don’t play this Is ridiculous all the politics
When will people learn how to spell the “losing” correctly? Really not hard folks.
Other rec players used to make up shit about me because they could not beat me
🤩🤩🤩
If only this was aired post 20+minute tank gate. Nick V probably super annoyed about it lol
How did Nick Vertucci of all people end up with the best poker podcast setup?
Lodge are kicking HCLs ass lately with their streams
These games are so easy for him
I had aces against 2 ppl having kings and won of course we were only 4 handed makes it even crazier
Long time ago like 14 years and maybe had 300 each in front of us if that 😂
Why doesn't Andy play HCL anymore?
Pepe is a nit. Leaves early, takes long breaks when he's up. There are a bunch of guys that get away with low vpip. Airball is a knucklehead. Never shuts up. Mariano should keep doing what's he's doing and care less about the Nic types.
Thanks for saying poker is a lot of luck. There is a misconception if you play good you can grind out a legit living.
It's recreational game
👌🏻
Formerly Valerie ❤😅😊

Luck is running out just like rampage. Most of the players have business or a job.
Fridays are not entertaining anymore. Nick's night has run its course. Time to bring Garrett back before it's to late.
Lol Garrett hates them
Nick is absolutely intolerable. I watched this because of Mariano. 😂
If they really want it to be a reality poker show, then get all billionaire players to where the money doesn't matter and they Hustler can be happy with a 45% vpip, just to be on there and have to show action when most of the time you will be card dead, I guess they don't want someone folding for hours but for someone like Mariano and Rampage etc that are trying to make a living, being on that show is probably not the smart move.
What is this chatter about Andy and Mariano?
difference is marino isn't good to get booted out games tight or not
Rather have ace king then kings and it’s scary cuz it’s 60k 😂 does this dude know it’s being recorded
Is he an alien
game integrity and self exposure to playing on stream keep the player pool from growing. the only edge in the gaming industry is cheating. poker is no different.
Nick is gonna rub his tattoo off his arm. lol
They all happy GMAN is not in the game no more G man is a monster at poker ...
Mariano just playing for shits and giggles 😂
43:23 Mariano said "He Would Rather Have A/K In This Spot Over His Pocket Kings." WTF Are You Saying ?
Am I The Only One Thinking He Is A Moron Or Sniping Nit With That Foolish Comment ??
Mariano is no way a nit
Nick, your intro is cringe af
Into is objectively 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mariano is right no one wants to watch a nit super tight player
Poker “players” are delusional
and then J4 happened ... lol
Stop talking strategy with Rampage!
garrett is a good poker player but not so good a human being(why? for ex. keep on insisting robbie cheated when she didnt. he cant assassinate a person's character w/o an iota of proof and stand by that false statement).
She didn’t cheat ? U voted for Biden didn’t u 😂 don’t @ me I’m not responding
@@CleanMoneyLLC Whether she cheated or not, the lack of proof would result in an innocent verdict 10/10 times. I’d expect fellow MAGAs to get that, but hell every group has their own imbeciles.
@@drugsrbad475unless it’s a criminal case then he just needs to prove on the balance ie. more than 50% chance she cheated, in order to get judgement and refund. I’m putting it around 80% she cheated and with all the circumstantial evidence I’m very confident a judge would be well over 50% confident.
She cheated lol I wouldn't have called that hand the 1st week I played
Sandbagging, hustling is annoying….no shit.
Great interview, I’m glad he was allowed to speak his mind without being interrupted and that he was giving us thought-out and honest answers instead of the sarcastic joke-type answers. How Mariano feels about Garrett is how a lot of up n comers probably feel about him in terms of wanting to make it big to battle against him, I know I shall. Hopefully he’s still in the game by the time I get around 🫡
isn't Nick a scammer selling house flipping course?
Veronica is beautiful damn.

Nick looks like his forearms skipped leg day. Typical "alpha pale, pole smoker".
Nobody Likes Nick Vertucci 🤣🤣🤣 The only reason he gets to play in these games, is because he puts himself in 🤡🤡🤡
Vertucci picks his nose and makes vulgar noises on stream. Unbearable to watch.
Mariano is a joke. I cant want until my trip to hustler in april. See you when i see you
