I like blocking the cards, but not blurred. You can see the colors they have still and we can see you're losing the hand on the river. Maybe freeze frame the cards like Bart Hanson does
I think this was one of your best episode to date. Perfect blend of entertainment and education, really enjoyed the blurred cards to be able to "play along in the hand." Hope you can continue and use it in future vids.
I really like when you block out your opponents cards too. Makes it way more interesting. Love the drone footage, the nature clips around the park and the into and outro outside. 'you guys get the idea' is a phrase that you have started to overuse a little lately but it's a minor point. Well done on such a successful year Mariano and I wish you all the best in 2023. I know Uncle Ernie is proud of you, a very nice man I met and played with at the Golden Nugget in July. You and Brad are my favourite two bloggers. ✌🏼
Thanks for another great vlog, I really Love blurring the opponents cards, it make such a big difference. I’m happy for your winnings. 🍀Good luck and run good.🍀
Blur it how it is with an added black and white filter over the layer. It will keep the cleaner look of the blur over a block rectangle, but also hide what colors the cards are.
Respect Mariano, you've jumped up to these huge stakes and are getting results and holding your own with sound play and minimal punts. I dony know how much studying you do, if you do, but I think it would be a great thing to touch on in a vlog or separate video. Well done bud.
@@valsverdlov5458 He does... at least glimpses of it on the hands he shows. Of course he won't show us everything and his thought process on every hand though.
Definitely prefer being able to see the opponent's cards. I think it helps me understand the dynamics of the action much better, knowing what the opponents are playing and how they're playing it. Combined with your analysis it makes a perfect combo.
Love having them blurred out. It puts me more into your mind and makes me learn more Vs. rooting for you to call/fold based off of knowing and seeing the equity/other person's hand
I LIKE being able to see the cards in most cases because it gives me the opportunity to study the way each person plays depending on cards, stack size, position and so on. Not that I'll ever be playing with these guys but it gives me a broader understanding overall of the complete game and why who is doing what. I geuss if you aren't really into that kind of analysis its more entertaining watching from Mario's POV and not knowing.
Great episode. Loved the intro shots in the park, and especially liked the blurred cards. Being able to have a non result oriented reflexion throughout the hands is a definite yes for me.
Not sure whether I like the blurring or not because I'd already watched you on the stream (making this extra painful for me to watch...) But wow - those post=stream hands made up for everything - Congrats!! Great vlog as well!
I like the blurred cards, maybe you can do something where sometimes it’s blurred & sometimes it’s not so that we can “play a hand with you.” Then you’re also pleasing both sides & it adds some more fun to the videos. Happy holidays
Mariano, I actually prefer you blocking the cards, it puts us right there with you and it's kind of what would I do in this situation. I think I can learn more this way. Thanks for sharing this awesome content. Jay from Pa.
The KQ vs 44 hand was gross. He basically min-clicks it back with an underpair, gets there on the turn, checks, and then you get there on the river. Brutal.
Keep them blurred, makes it more engaging for the audience as we can guess their hand alongside with you, and then offers a reward when they are revealed. Then we aren't biased off of hindsight.
Blocking the cards is great and also we get to see what they had at the end anyways so still get the benefit of streamed games, knowing opponents cards so don’t have to be left wondering at the end. So much better with cards blocked.
I like how you block the cards too it was pretty neat because it actually gave us a real view on whether or not we were right about what the other person's hand was and got to watch you play your hand out and actually try to get real reeds on the person without seeing their cars making it super easy for us so yes please continue to block out the opponents cards
I can't believe you got that guy to fold AK on the first hand. The power of the check-raise bluff is more potent on earlier streets. People are not just facing a decision point there but can expect some tough decisions on later streets. The river is a one-off.
If you are going to blur them then just black them out or we gain info on the color of the suit. In this we know they don't have a flush in certain spots
I prefer not blurring or blocking the cards. That way I can follow the game better and understand your strategy as you explain your hand. Also, it's more exciting.
I like the cards being hidden. Let's us play vicariously through you and let's us decide how we would've played. I hope your future videos continue hiding your opponent's cards.
Personally I prefer seeing the opponent's cards, makes your decision making more interesting 🤔. Whichever way though, your vlogs are excellent 👍. I can only dream of playing to your level. In England, the 1-1 game I play at our local casino, seems to revolve around most players going in with crap hands and hoping to hit which unfortunately they often do. To say their hands are disguised is an understatement cos they can have absolutely anything. Good luck to you
Prefer to see the cards on these stream type vids , fun to see why people are playing the way you do and easier to understand your reads and logic 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
IMO one or two hands from each time that are like tough spots or hard thinking hands are good to blur out and is like a mini quiz in between the other hands. Not every hand but a few that are good for learning or putting yourself to the test I think is good.
like a typical reg fish, our favourite vlogger mariano was punting until he flopped middle set in a 3bp vs another live fish and actually found a way to blunder with said middle set 🤷🏻♂️ GG bud
I ❤ blurred cards for your opponents. There's something about our minds that we can't un-see those cards and divorce our decisions from what we know. I learn way more when I have to play as anybody else would in that spot. In fact, I fear I learn *nothing* when I can see the opponent's cards.
I'm not a big fan of blocking opponents cards on stream because non streamed cash games you can't see the opponents cards. I think it was a cool idea to mix things up, "so you get the idea"! Pura Vida from Tampa!
I think I slightly prefer seeing the cards . . . but given that I can just scroll ahead to see what the hand was, maybe it's better to hide them if that's what everyone else prefers
Hey Mariano! Thanks for an absolutely worldclass vlog! Keep up the good work and the grinding on the tables! 🚂🚂🚂 I understand your take on the first hand of the night but I would reckon however that since you check 3 times (how often does one do that with value hands really when the opponent also checked back flop and turn?) that the opponent should be able to find a call there with any Ax holdings. I would have called anyhow. Your bluff worked however so nicely done assessing the situation and the opponent. Keep up the good work!
I’ve watched every vlog you have ever put out. Love the content and can only hope to be as good as you one day. I play in Houston Texas a lot because it’s where I work at in the refinery’s as a crane and rigging supervisor. I enjoy and look forward to every vlog keep up the great work and vlogs coming. Hoping you run good in all your sessions!
I like blocking the hands, i feel like the best thing to do is to switch it up. Have some videos blocking the hands and some videos where you dont block them
Do you read these ? If so could you please do a video about card ranges ? Would be great to hear your thoughts on how to keep a clear head to figure out all the range structure
Not a fan of blurring out the cards. Definitely like being able to see all cards when you are playing in a live-stream. Save the unknown for the other poker games you vlog.
I enjoyed not seeing the cards and hearing your analysis before the reveal. Nice to know we will always be able to see what they have compared to your non-stream vlogs when they muck. Great content!
I love the blur, but there's an issue where when you are drawing dead or you are winning at river your cards either fade out or stay highlighted on both Bike and Hustler streams, unsure if there is something to work around that
Mariano Love your vlogs man! Personally, I prefer 50% of hands where opponents hands are hidden/blurred, and 50% normal where cards are revealed. Good Luck
I'm still at the kid's table (1-3) building a bankroll. I learn a lot from your videos, kinda like the blur so I can put myself in your shoes. But it's also good to see the other player's strategy. So I'm good either way, keep it up
![โฮ่ง! (SUGOI) - LYKN [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nFp4zjAARFs/mqdefault.jpg)
Mariano: this isn’t a great situation for me
Also Mariano: and for that reason, I’m all in
Terrible flop, terrible bluff catcher, and for those reasons, I’m all in
You get the idea
That’s money laundering for you.
he's been taking lessons from me
Because I have chips and a gambling problem
I only watch when I don’t know the other players’ cards so I can put myself in your position and try to make decisions. Please continue doing this
I like blocking the cards, but not blurred. You can see the colors they have still and we can see you're losing the hand on the river. Maybe freeze frame the cards like Bart Hanson does
I came here to write this
Yeah I was gonna write this aswell.
Isn’t this streaming already? 🤔
I think we are just going to go back to normal display where all cards are shown
@@MarianoPoker 👍🏻👍🏻 either is fine imo, just seemed a half measure this way
I think this was one of your best episode to date. Perfect blend of entertainment and education, really enjoyed the blurred cards to be able to "play along in the hand." Hope you can continue and use it in future vids.

The face at 9:07 is so perfect lol!! 😂
Thanks for another great vlog, I really Love blurring the opponents cards, it make such a big difference. I’m happy for your winnings. 🍀Good luck and run good.🍀
Absolutely love the blurring. please keep that up. it definitely allows for more analysis and learning. Thank you!
Not liking the blurred cards, but it's you Vlog you do you, I'm still going to watch. Might throw in a couple Blurred hands for a "play along".
Blur it how it is with an added black and white filter over the layer. It will keep the cleaner look of the blur over a block rectangle, but also hide what colors the cards are.

Agreed but I don’t think he wants to share his strategy. He only wants to make entertaining content
@@valsverdlov5458 He does... at least glimpses of it on the hands he shows. Of course he won't show us everything and his thought process on every hand though.
love the blurring, good to make audience focus on your thinking process. It does help me to learn from you.

But he shows them after so you can still do that
much prefer to see the cards. its a nice change to usual and we get to see the crazy plays by other players
Great episode. Loved the intro shots in the park, and especially liked the blurred cards. Being able to have a non result oriented reflexion throughout the hands is a definite yes for me.

This is a good first attempt at blurring the cards. The hardest part is when the river hits you can still tell who won or not.
Your instincts are very good young man!! Been watching you know for almost two years, you were good then, but even better now!!
Mariano, I actually prefer you blocking the cards, it puts us right there with you and it's kind of what would I do in this situation. I think I can learn more this way. Thanks for sharing this awesome content. Jay from Pa.
I preferred this way as well!
Like the freeze frame of the "face" when your opponent snap calls with the boat....lol
I like unblurred bc it allows me to analyze opponents actions. Too bad viewers can't toggle the blur if they want to see the cards or not.
I like when all the hands are showing. Gives you more insight on how players play there hands.
The KQ vs 44 hand was gross. He basically min-clicks it back with an underpair, gets there on the turn, checks, and then you get there on the river. Brutal.
Those are some of the coolest shades I’ve seen, love the content….🔥🔥🔥
Post lasik surgery shades
The blocking is good. Your thought analysis is enough to keep it entertaining.
Keep them blurred, makes it more engaging for the audience as we can guess their hand alongside with you, and then offers a reward when they are revealed. Then we aren't biased off of hindsight.
Love the blurring of hands!
Love how you blur the opponents' hands so we can sweat it out with you. Keep up the great content!

Mariano your eyes on the KQ hand when you get called! The oh shit look! Lol! Good content!
Please include the other players hands. It helps to understand his play and you actions.
Hi Mariano! I prefer to see the cards! I do love your videos! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Best greetings from Belgium...
I feel that look at 9:09 so hard. It basically sums up my entire 3 year poker career. Brutal.
Saw the blur on another channel recently. Found it quite refreshing. It's nice not knowing what's coming as we listen to your thoughts about the hand.
love the blur out makes it so much more fun to watch
Love your poker vlogs! Love seeing the hands 🃏 sick shades too boss man 😎
I prefer not blurring or blocking the cards. That way I can follow the game better and understand your strategy as you explain your hand. Also, it's more exciting.

Good video again Mariano! I didn't think I would like covering up your opponents hands but it didn't bother me at all
IMO one or two hands from each time that are like tough spots or hard thinking hands are good to blur out and is like a mini quiz in between the other hands. Not every hand but a few that are good for learning or putting yourself to the test I think is good.
I admit... I lol'ed like hell when you freeze framed your face at 9:06 😂
like a typical reg fish, our favourite vlogger mariano was punting until he flopped middle set in a 3bp vs another live fish
and actually found a way to blunder with said middle set 🤷🏻♂️
GG bud
i think you need to have a black box over their cards, just blurring still allows you to see if their cards are red or black!
Make sure the board is blurred on the river. Showed the winning community cards of 4’s full
Awesome content. Great analysis
The stand up game in every blog is like pot of greed. Everyone has to say what it is when they bring it up
It’s like a vegan
what kind of sunglasses are you wearing? kinda cool they look like the ones you get after the eye doctor
The zoom in on the eyes killed meeee
I ❤ blurred cards for your opponents. There's something about our minds that we can't un-see those cards and divorce our decisions from what we know. I learn way more when I have to play as anybody else would in that spot. In fact, I fear I learn *nothing* when I can see the opponent's cards.
I like when people tells there numbers in for out for

I like the blurred out cards but as some others had pointed out, you can still kind of make out the colors so maybe blacked out is better.
I think I slightly prefer seeing the cards . . . but given that I can just scroll ahead to see what the hand was, maybe it's better to hide them if that's what everyone else prefers
I like hiding your opponents cards better; fun to sweat it with you. Only thing is you can see the suit color behind the blur in this video.
Love hiding the cards! I agree with Nathan that fully blocking the cards is ideal, but this is still a wonderful improvement
Hey Mariano! Thanks for an absolutely worldclass vlog! Keep up the good work and the grinding on the tables! 🚂🚂🚂
I understand your take on the first hand of the night but I would reckon however that since you check 3 times (how often does one do that with value hands really when the opponent also checked back flop and turn?) that the opponent should be able to find a call there with any Ax holdings.

Love the blurring of other players’ cards. Plz keep it this way!
I like blocking the hands, i feel like the best thing to do is to switch it up. Have some videos blocking the hands and some videos where you dont block them
Cool concept to try once in a while, but prefer to see everyones cards like you usually do.
So I like the blurring sometimes… I think all of the hands from a video is too much. Maybe just the 2-4 best/ biggest / most interesting hands.
Do you read these ? If so could you please do a video about card ranges ? Would be great to hear your thoughts on how to keep a clear head to figure out all the range structure
For hand analysis, really like not knowing the whole cards. Watching the games live, definitely want all the cards. Just my two cents
daaamn what an intro to the vlog, high quality like always 🔥
Not a fan of blurring out the cards. Definitely like being able to see all cards when you are playing in a live-stream. Save the unknown for the other poker games you vlog.
I prefer seeing the hands, not a fan of the blurred hands and not really interested in watching hands with cards blurred. I will give this one a miss
i like seeing the opponents hand majority of the time, but i would like it blurred for a few of them. keep up the good content!
In so many of your videos we don't get to see the opponent's cards. When we do get to see the cards on live stream it's a nice change!
I'm all for the blur as long as the cards are seen after as you have done thanks for your great vlogs.
And rocking the OMC glasses too
the new style of poker vlogging is coming
Love that you’re hiding opponent’s cards! So much better this way
This is great. I prefer this style over seeing everyone's hands.reat session. Congrats.
I like the blurring the cards, but after it is over, let us know! What did Matt Berkey have in that hand of stand up?
TT
Like the blurred addition leaves us guessing
You and rampage switched playing styles?
The blurring doesn’t work for me. Greetings from Amsterdam and thnx for all the great content!!
Hey I go for walks at that park pretty frequently, Yorba regional is a very nice park
I enjoyed not seeing the cards and hearing your analysis before the reveal. Nice to know we will always be able to see what they have compared to your non-stream vlogs when they muck. Great content!
The eyes though on the turned full house hahahaha
Nice Haircut Mariano!! Much better bro!!
Hey Mariano, huge fan from Italy
Onestly I prefer to see everyone else cards!
I like being able to see the cards bc it’s interesting/entertaining to compare what the opponent actually has versus what you think they have
Love the blocking. Watched you when your first vlog came out. Your game has taken giant leaps
I love the blur, but there's an issue where when you are drawing dead or you are winning at river your cards either fade out or stay highlighted on both Bike and Hustler streams, unsure if there is something to work around that
I like that and after the hand u showing there cards nice move man
Mariano Love your vlogs man! Personally, I prefer 50% of hands where opponents hands are hidden/blurred, and 50% normal where cards are revealed. Good Luck
Big fan of blocking the hands. Adds an element of mystery to an already compelling hand. We get to guess and strategize with you.
I'm still at the kid's table (1-3) building a bankroll. I learn a lot from your videos, kinda like the blur so I can put myself in your shoes. But it's also good to see the other player's strategy. So I'm good either way, keep it up
What did berkey shove with?
great vlog, have you ever thought of doing a UK meet up game, I would be interested :)
Blurred & Visible are equally good😎, I’d say mix it up 👍 maybe 80% vis, 20 blurred 🤷🏼♂️
