Awesome editing and music cuts. I find cards interesting, but the first thing I noticed here was the synced cuts to the music, gorgeous drone shots and just tasteful programing and flow. Looking forward to more!
I love this vlog! I like that you talk like a person in normal conversation which makes it easier to follow. I’ve noticed some other vloggers talk so far through the hands I miss a lot. Thanks for the high quality!
Vlog skills on point. Loved that music-hole card reveal timing, really nice touch. Poker skills decent too. I got a little judgy when I felt you played the 23HH wrong on every street, but other than that hand I think I agreed with just about every line you took. Keep up the good work.
@Justin Ward I agree, I think he plays well. Overall my comment was meant to be a compliment. I noticed I was being a bit too 'judgy' or too harsh, as I mentioned. No one plays perfect all the time, and I'm glad that he posts hands that he plays suboptimally and/or losing hands/sessions as well. If we wanted perfect play all the time we would watch coaching vids and they wouldn't be nearly as fun.
Rake is pretty high anywhere in SoCal.....don't think a dollar here and there gonna affect bottom line much, maybe $10-$20 depending how long you play.
Chris Taylor lol wat. I dont watch a poker vlog to criticize a players skill (also i think mariano is solid fwiw). Also I actually really like and appreciate his casino reviews
Semi bluffing on A high boards seems futile especially when you get called. If you get the fold fine but once called you're usually going to have a hard time getting someone off their A holding.
Yeah especially with two hearts out there, the sort of player who's in there in the first place with the dominated aces that can/should fold is not going to have the discipline to lay down top pair.
Mariano you are top notch brother, you have great analysis, and most importantly charisma you come across as very humble and a great person much respect for that! 100% subscribed
"I hope you enjoyed watching me get wrecked." classic and funny bro. but in all honesty, a sense of self deprecation is always good to keeping you humble and on point. congrats on number treinta, and looking frw'd to where this journey takes you.
The vlogs are getting better and better also nice haircut. You played most hands very well as well and thanks for adding your thought process behind certain moves you make while playing. I think this is why most viewers watch.
Great vlog man, subbed! 3h2h is a fold preflop in the BB facing a large UTG open. UTG being a fishy straightforward player makes us even less incentivized to defend bad hands, as we will have very little fold equity whenever they have an overpair/connect with the flop (I'm sure you know better than I do about how little people like to fold at $1/$2). We're applying a lot of pressure with a hand that makes a ton of sense to use as a bluff, but we should never be in this spot to begin with and this ends up looking like a pretty bad spew IMO. AA vs 22: I like a small cbet on the flop (1/3 or 1/4 pot), I think this villain in particular is going to react poorly to a small size and spazz out. Down bet accomplishes a lot of good things here and is a useful tool to have in your arsenal. Overall frustrating session, but these types of sessions can teach us alot about ourselves and make us better players in the long run.
On your hand with AhAd - I absolutely love your 3 bet sizing pre against a guy who hates to fold. Get this pot big and get his stack committed. On the flop I think it's fine to be checking only because we hold the A of hearts. If you held a combo that did not contain the A of hearts we definitely should be betting about 1/3rd pot. Having said that good job on checking that was definitely the superior play. On the turn you are right that we want to be betting but you size incorrectly. If we bet too big we may let this fish off the hook and we want to get his whole stack. He is still wayyyyyy behind us or wayyyyyy ahead of us and in these situations we want to be sizing down. You aren't scared of any river so the right size here is 1/3rd pot. Betting $50 when villain has about $250 behind is perfect. If villain calls pot is $250 with only $200 behind and we can easily get the rest on any river. What makes the sizing even better though is that villain may perceive your check flop, 1/3rd pot bet turn, as weakness and make a move. He can definitely think that raising $200 into the pot may make you fold and thus opens the door for him to make a mistake. I don't think most villains will feel the same way when you bet $100. When you bet $100 if villain moves in it's only $150 for you to win $350. I honestly can't see you folding any equity in that spot so you made a simple sizing mistake but at least you are betting and not checking. Having said that, when you make it $100 and villain moves in for $150 more. Your alarm bells should be going off for all the reasons I stated above. Villain is always strong here and you are definitely given the bad news when you see you are drawing dead to a K or A. I think when you bet $100 and he moves in villain always has K+x of hearts + and you can probably fold although it sucks. If you had bet $50 and he did this I would feel better about calling.
Love the “table image isn’t that great right now”. Could have fooled me. Nobody knows exactly what you are doing and will call you down. Time to Nit it up now and get paid! 😂
Stumbled across your vlog. What camera do you use? The colors are intense and the auto-focus is pretty snappy. Are you able to record your entire session on a single charge and a single memory card?
Really enjoying the vloggs Mariano, I did miss the “ you guys are missing my blonde hair joke “ 🤗🤗🤗, lol, Keep up the good work , table footage spot on, music on point again, hair lookin good , gl at the tables dude .
It was nice playing with you, I was in seat 4 would have liked to talked to you a bit. I play in the Friday tournaments at The Gardens min prize pool 25k. I ended up 1800 on the evening under representing seemed to work that night. Take care enjoyed the video Keith. Come play the tournament.
In that hand where your limper calls your 3-bet, yeah, you could bet the turn... I suppose. But I wouldn't necessarily. The nine is not a great card because somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of the time he's just spiked a boat given his range of mostly medium pairs, and also now if he's holding TT or JJ, the turn card doesn't hurt him or improve any of your likely holdings, and also if he has specifically 77 or 88, now he's picked up a gutshot so he certainly won't release on the turn. A jack, a 2, a 3, or a spade are probably better barrelling cards. So the way I might play it is to bet the flop and barrel some turns, but probably just give up on this specific turn. Your table image is also a consideration. You have 3 combos of KK in your range, 6 of AA, and 12 of AK. So 21 value combos on this board. He probably assumes that if you had QQ or JJ or TT you would not turn your hand into a bluff, which leaves you with all of the AJ, AQ, Axs, KQo, whatever else you've decided to 3-bet during the session. If he's seen you showing down these kinds of hands in 3-bet pots, then your only chance of getting him to fold TT is to bet the flop LARGE, look anxious when the turn comes out, freeze for a second, then bomb that turn. If you're going to triple or double-barrel this board in a 3-bet pot against a donkey, you need to bet the flop bigger, because $40 is giving a good price to the spade draws. When this guy has AK or AA or KK on that board, he's nearly potting it. He does not want to see a spade roll off on the turn. So your small bet looks weak to him. All of that said, it's much better to double-barrel than it is to check the turn and call the river. He's not limp-calling $40 with air so he can float the flop and take it away from you on the river. Given this line you can definitely fold the river.
For the $.17 comps, just be happy you get any at all. Some local rooms here don't give you anything. You can get what they call rake back, but essentially you play 50 hours that month they will give you $50 up to 75 hours, the 100 hours all they way up to the 150 hour cap for $150.
Like the new look. Great blog, with honest options of room and play. The tables don't look bad, but agree the chairs are out dated. They look the chairs Harrah's put into service after they bought the WSOP. You said it before, lower level cash players don't like folding if they have money in the pot, so you need to adjust your bet sizing some in relationship to the pot, or otherwise limit your risks and do some pot control. Your skills and reads are there, just need to adjust to the player pool.
Hey Mariano, Hi from Canada. Had a very similar session to yours last night. Just wondering what video editing software you use? it's very well done. cheers
If you play long enough ( unless you hit a couple of huge bad beats ) I promise the " fun " part will change !! Whether It be a real job , part time job or hobby It Is a super tough gig !!.....Let's just say I play some poker .....I saw 3 things for future Info ....You make the same mistake that many make of which when you are getting bad cards when just sitting down you get bored and played far to many hands ..... That can kill !!!! The 2 things that Impressed me was when you busted out you took a break , very smart . And #1 when you got off your semi heater and went back down YOU called It a night !!!!!!! Nice Vlog 🙏 Gl
Nice vlog man. In regards to the A2 hand, I think you had the correct read, but the wrong reaction to it. You thought he was min raising to see a free turn+river card, which he was. Knowing that, you can put a huge weighting on him holding a drawing hand and not a made hand. You did correct by resisting flop, but you have to make him pay again on turn to chase his draw (since turn was a brick for draws)
I think AQ on the K high board is going to make you so much money in the long run if you bet the turn. So many players at these stakes have 99-JJ here (also QQ sometimes). They will almost ALWAYS fold those holdings on the turn to a bet. If they call turn, it's an easy give up on the river because they likely have AK and are not ever folding. As played I think you can just fold river to that small bet even though it sucks. Just my thoughts. Btw what camera do you use? Shots are crystal clear.
Mariano great vlog as usual. It's evident you have lots of experience in music production and editing...it's far better than most poker vlogs. Great work but don't over value small suited connectors versus nits in a $1/3 game...they're never folding an Ace after the board pairs on the turn. Love the aggression but on occasion it's much more profitable to take the passive low variance route especially at 1/3$ when most players don't know what they're doing and can't fold top pair...Bgood
I don’t often get wrecked, but when I do, it’s for way more money than Mariano! (Usually closer to $800) Great job with the video. Love the reviews. Even though I’m in North Carolina and will never play there.
Do you think you can consider raising the river in the AQoff hand over such a small bet? It seems like you had the read spot on and a lot of 1/3 players fold to a raise there. You can just tell they're almost always trying to get a cheap river at their own price even with their showdown value. Just a thought, keep up the awesome work bro 👍🏼👍🏼
On your J9s hand - Don't 3 bet this hand against the field out of position. So good job on just calling. You correctly check to the original bettor who should not be Cbetting air on this flop as it smacks all of the fields calling range. Calling if fine but we definitely should be concerned that the button has also called. When the turn J hits we SHOULD NOT LEAD - yes the board is extremely wet but both the original raiser and the button can have us beat. For that reason we should just be checking calling. On clean rivers we can lead and wet rivers we can check evaluate. When you lead the J turn and villain raises i think you are always beat. What worse hands does he have for value here I don't think any and we are beat. Well good luck I hope you learned a lot from this session and you do better in the future. Best of luck!
JTo is the 17th percentile of hands, so if we assume that's close to the bottom of this guy's shoving range (and maybe that's wrong), let's say he's shoving 1/5th of hands, so about twice per orbit. If so you can fold KQo. I say this because KQo only has 49% equity against that range, mostly because KQo is in bad shape against any pair and any ace. There are some limpers in the pot, and once you call this shove, one of them might have limped AKo because he doesn't know how to play it, in which case you're crushed. Doesn't have to happen very often to ruin your day. And you're getting raked. So the two limps in the case that they do fold is just paying for the rake-- it's not really adding any dead money to the pot. So you're just flipping against this range, slightly behind, and blowing up your variance.
Another solid blog, though as others have said I think the 23H hand is needlessly high variance. I mean you're putting money in when you're knowing you're likely behind, and especially when you mention this is a solid player, chances are they have A10 or above and will call off. Think you should be really playing the odds in that situation when you have not enough fold equity to make the play +EV. Also fine with your AA hand. I had a similar situation with aces on a 10 10 7 board, but the run out was 9 K and a QJ hit. I no doubt should have betted but if you're only betting strong hands you're a bit face up, and sometimes the situation doesn't help sneaky play. It was £100 in pot pre, I bet £70 on the turn and called £120 on the river. Maybe I could have folded but the flush and more obvious straight missed, but a mistake. I think playing big pairs this way is higher variance actually, like if the board is A 7 2 you're golden, and personally I'd rather look for a cooler than pick up a small-mid sized pot. Obviously that doesn't always work... As others have said, I would be interested to see rake / points as part of your +s/-s section.
Great vlog as always Mariano. Don't be so hard on yourself - ~ -270 loss isn't exactly 'wrecked' considering some of the hands in this one. Even the greatest players have had many a night where they walked out of the casino wishing they had only lost that much.
Hey Mariano, thank you for making your videos and the explanation with it. I live in the Netherlands and the rules are so different. It's ilegal to play poker almost everywhere (for money) except for 1 company (holland casino). And most of the locations offer poker once a week and very few tables (its not like you can play poker whenever you feel like it, only at specific days and you have to book your seat... ) so when i see your videos , i,m very jalous of all the locations and the freedom to play. Question with the KK hand, you get a flop with 2 sixes ,are you not worried about someone having a 6?
Hey buddy, first of all we really need to know approximate effective stack sizes to comment appropriately on the hand. Having said that on your AQ off hand; your 3 bet pre is excellent and your continuation bet is also fine although i would have made it more like 60-70% pot with all of the possible draws or even higher like 85-90% depending on the villain. If villain will pay full or over pot with his draws then we always should be sizing up and that is also good for us when we are bluffing as we have all the Kx in our range. On the turn you are right when you say you make a mistake. This is a slam dunk double barrel. None of the draws complete and a 2nd barrel could even start to make a weak king scared. Villains range should contain 0 combos of strong Kx and will only occasionally contain the 6 combos of sets that are slow playing as most will raise off on such a draw heavy board. Your immediate assumption that villain has a PP I think is a mistake. While i agree villain may have some PPs that float his call is much more indicative of a draw as many PPs will just fold to a 3 bettors cbet on K high boards. This is where i really need to know what the effective stack is because that will strongly factor into how large we size our turn bet. Having said that I think in general we are going large. I think assuming stacks are appropriate that this is a great spot for an overbet like 1.1-1.25x. This should fold out every draw, every weak king, literally everything we may be worried about as a bluff. In kind this is also excellent when we hold AK and want to get max value. If villain calls this turn overbet then I think we can safely just check the river back or fold to any lead with our bluffs. If we choose to bet 70% pot or less on turn we are essentially committing to a river shove on all non draw completing cards. Hope this helps. Best of luck at the tables.
Awesome editing and music cuts. I find cards interesting, but the first thing I noticed here was the synced cuts to the music, gorgeous drone shots and just tasteful programing and flow. Looking forward to more!
I love this vlog! I like that you talk like a person in normal conversation which makes it easier to follow. I’ve noticed some other vloggers talk so far through the hands I miss a lot. Thanks for the high quality!
Vlog skills on point. Loved that music-hole card reveal timing, really nice touch.
Poker skills decent too. I got a little judgy when I felt you played the 23HH wrong on every street, but other than that hand I think I agreed with just about every line you took.
Keep up the good work.
@Justin Ward I agree, I think he plays well. Overall my comment was meant to be a compliment. I noticed I was being a bit too 'judgy' or too harsh, as I mentioned.
No one plays perfect all the time, and I'm glad that he posts hands that he plays suboptimally and/or losing hands/sessions as well. If we wanted perfect play all the time we would watch coaching vids and they wouldn't be nearly as fun.
When you are talking pros and cons of poker rooms, could u add what the rake is in these places?
Really good point / idea. Upvoted.
Rake is pretty high anywhere in SoCal.....don't think a dollar here and there gonna affect bottom line much, maybe $10-$20 depending how long you play.
Robert rake is reAlly important at low stakes. Good call
Unreal how much better this is than any other poker vlog. Keep it up mariano
Chris Taylor lol wat. I dont watch a poker vlog to criticize a players skill (also i think mariano is solid fwiw). Also I actually really like and appreciate his casino reviews
Semi bluffing on A high boards seems futile especially when you get called. If you get the fold fine but once called you're usually going to have a hard time getting someone off their A holding.
Yeah especially with two hearts out there, the sort of player who's in there in the first place with the dominated aces that can/should fold is not going to have the discipline to lay down top pair.
Bet 1/3rd pot then, save some blinds doing that
1ST time watching your vlogs....very clean man. Nice editing.
lol at the bricks 🧱

Victory is only a confirmation, but defeat is a new challenge ;)
Good luck for your next time there and thanks for another great video !

Love the “table image isn’t that great right now”. Could have fooled me. Nobody knows exactly what you are doing and will call you down. Time to Nit it up now and get paid! 😂
I get excited when I see this channel on my feed!
What camera do you use to film at the table?
yeah were interested pls thanks
solid new channel to keep me up late wishing for a bigger bankroll
Great vlogs
Your niceness really shines through
Love the title, sounds like a scary horror film.
Stumbled across your vlog. What camera do you use? The colors are intense and the auto-focus is pretty snappy. Are you able to record your entire session on a single charge and a single memory card?

Nice vlog Mariano 🏆
Thank you Edwin
Great video! As usual. Good luck next time!
Classy editing bro!
yesssss loving the hair !!
Seems like your ranges are solid. Difficult part is bets sizing to get the max. Keep in mind V’s stack size

You're probably right. Thanks for the support
14:30 ish I actually busted out laughing 🤣
Hell yeah nice buzz cut
Love your videos
May I ask... what kind of watch you wearing?
G-shock
Mariano cool thanks
Was trying for many videos to get a glimpse of it lol
dont stop poker vlogging!
Some tough breaks there, keep the head up
That is not flopping the world bruh
That's what I said. Ace 10 of hearts is the world
hey im new to poker but at 19:17 , how did a three of a kind beat a flush ?
dave thegreat The double king on the flop makes it a full house :)
I don’t often get wrecked, but when I do, it’s for way more money than Mariano! (Usually closer to $800)
Great job with the video. Love the reviews. Even though I’m in North Carolina and will never play there.
17c an hour comp! LOL Why even bother giving out that comp. Great Video Mariano! Keep it up.
Sweet sweet outro M.
Oh shit son that new hair cut is dope as hell
19:11 how did you lose that? i'm confused
Same man how does a flush lose to trips ???
He didn’t have three of a kind, he had a full house with the Kings. Full house beats a flush.
Awesome intro, man! I wanted it to last longer. Drone footage rocked, since I’m usually not a fan.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate that
your play is suspect but your editing is sooo clean. Subscribed.
Haha
Love the video. I like to see alot of hands
Mariano, which casinos in so cal have the best limit games?
Great vlog dude, I would just fold 32s preflop.
Thank you. And I think you're definitely right on that
what drone do you use?
12:35 Do you always do a double take when you get aces?

Another great video bro!! What tourney did you decide to play in?
Do you think you can consider raising the river in the AQoff hand over such a small bet? It seems like you had the read spot on and a lot of 1/3 players fold to a raise there. You can just tell they're almost always trying to get a cheap river at their own price even with their showdown value. Just a thought, keep up the awesome work bro 👍🏼👍🏼
Kory Jean yes, the problem is we are representing almost no logical hands with that line.
Any hand that raises the river should be betting the turn
On your J9s hand - Don't 3 bet this hand against the field out of position. So good job on just calling. You correctly check to the original bettor who should not be Cbetting air on this flop as it smacks all of the fields calling range. Calling if fine but we definitely should be concerned that the button has also called. When the turn J hits we SHOULD NOT LEAD - yes the board is extremely wet but both the original raiser and the button can have us beat. For that reason we should just be checking calling. On clean rivers we can lead and wet rivers we can check evaluate. When you lead the J turn and villain raises i think you are always beat. What worse hands does he have for value here I don't think any and we are beat. Well good luck I hope you learned a lot from this session and you do better in the future. Best of luck!
JTo is the 17th percentile of hands, so if we assume that's close to the bottom of this guy's shoving range (and maybe that's wrong), let's say he's shoving 1/5th of hands, so about twice per orbit. If so you can fold KQo. I say this because KQo only has 49% equity against that range, mostly because KQo is in bad shape against any pair and any ace. There are some limpers in the pot, and once you call this shove, one of them might have limped AKo because he doesn't know how to play it, in which case you're crushed. Doesn't have to happen very often to ruin your day. And you're getting raked. So the two limps in the case that they do fold is just paying for the rake-- it's not really adding any dead money to the pot.
So you're just flipping against this range, slightly behind, and blowing up your variance.
Been watching your videos for a few weeks now the regular hair is your move my friend
great videos, keep them up.
Mariano, you need to be betting the Flop Homie
Hi there, Mariano! What exactly is a comp rate as mentioned in the beginning of your vlog?
It's credit given to players for playing poker, to be spent in the casino (i.e.food)
Normally varies between $1-$3 per hour.
Love that Curtis Mayfield
wow.. having a camera on the table allows you to see cards that have been folded.. that's handy
Where? I can't see any cards.
Another solid blog, though as others have said I think the 23H hand is needlessly high variance. I mean you're putting money in when you're knowing you're likely behind, and especially when you mention this is a solid player, chances are they have A10 or above and will call off. Think you should be really playing the odds in that situation when you have not enough fold equity to make the play +EV.
Also fine with your AA hand. I had a similar situation with aces on a 10 10 7 board, but the run out was 9 K and a QJ hit. I no doubt should have betted but if you're only betting strong hands you're a bit face up, and sometimes the situation doesn't help sneaky play. It was £100 in pot pre, I bet £70 on the turn and called £120 on the river. Maybe I could have folded but the flush and more obvious straight missed, but a mistake. I think playing big pairs this way is higher variance actually, like if the board is A 7 2 you're golden, and personally I'd rather look for a cooler than pick up a small-mid sized pot. Obviously that doesn't always work...
As others have said, I would be interested to see rake / points as part of your +s/-s section.
Everyone likes the fresh haircut. 💇
I know it was long ago but what is that song in the intro? Please, I tried to shazam it but it was inaccurate
You played those aces fine. Dude would of called u off to the turn for sure. Shit just happens.
How the hell did you get Dr. Dre to produce your background. Please tell me where do you get your music?
He does his own music, right?
No.
Great vlog. Liking the hare. Lol
Have to watch the first ten seconds in .25x speed. Builds up even more suspense
great vlog! Keep it up!
You were lucky with your set of Aces !!! Nice hand, man
Great vlog as always Mariano. Don't be so hard on yourself - ~ -270 loss isn't exactly 'wrecked' considering some of the hands in this one. Even the greatest players have had many a night where they walked out of the casino wishing they had only lost that much.
Hey Mariano, thank you for making your videos and the explanation with it. I live in the Netherlands and the rules are so different. It's ilegal to play poker almost everywhere (for money) except for 1 company (holland casino). And most of the locations offer poker once a week and very few tables (its not like you can play poker whenever you feel like it, only at specific days and you have to book your seat... ) so when i see your videos , i,m very jalous of all the locations and the freedom to play.
Question with the KK hand, you get a flop with 2 sixes ,are you not worried about someone having a 6?
Minimum loss of a bad session..well done :)
First session was painful to watch Mariano, really honest of you showing the way you played the 23 Hearts....things can only get better mate.
August 10th?!?!?
it's like being there live!
Nice to see videos with some run bad. It's real shit. All I do lately is run bad so it softens the blow to the ego a little bit
Hey buddy, first of all we really need to know approximate effective stack sizes to comment appropriately on the hand. Having said that on your AQ off hand; your 3 bet pre is excellent and your continuation bet is also fine although i would have made it more like 60-70% pot with all of the possible draws or even higher like 85-90% depending on the villain. If villain will pay full or over pot with his draws then we always should be sizing up and that is also good for us when we are bluffing as we have all the Kx in our range. On the turn you are right when you say you make a mistake. This is a slam dunk double barrel. None of the draws complete and a 2nd barrel could even start to make a weak king scared. Villains range should contain 0 combos of strong Kx and will only occasionally contain the 6 combos of sets that are slow playing as most will raise off on such a draw heavy board. Your immediate assumption that villain has a PP I think is a mistake. While i agree villain may have some PPs that float his call is much more indicative of a draw as many PPs will just fold to a 3 bettors cbet on K high boards. This is where i really need to know what the effective stack is because that will strongly factor into how large we size our turn bet. Having said that I think in general we are going large. I think assuming stacks are appropriate that this is a great spot for an overbet like 1.1-1.25x. This should fold out every draw, every weak king, literally everything we may be worried about as a bluff. In kind this is also excellent when we hold AK and want to get max value. If villain calls this turn overbet then I think we can safely just check the river back or fold to any lead with our bluffs. If we choose to bet 70% pot or less on turn we are essentially committing to a river shove on all non draw completing cards. Hope this helps. Best of luck at the tables.
Are green $25 chips illegal at this casino or something? 🤔
