@@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.
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
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.
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....
@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.
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.
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'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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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 TH-camrs
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 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.
It's a punt but I think he gets folds from trip A's from Brown Balla w the 86 checking raising the turn multiway in that spot. Think he's probably getting called by AK+ and AK is a catcher that occasionally chops vs value.
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.
I don't understand what the question at 18:40 "Do you have 100% of yourself" mean. Could someone explain it to me please. I guess it isn't a literal meaning but english is not my mother tongue so that doesn't help.
In high stakes poker games, players 'sell action' so they don't have to risk so much money to play. Here, Mariano is saying he never sells and always has 100% of his own action. Compared to Rampage for example that often sells action.
Sometimes In high stakes people buy action. So I would give you 10k to go play a poker session, and I get a certain percentage of your winnings. Makes it so it you lose, you don’t lose as much as it’s not all your money. But if you win you don’t get 100% of your winnings
It's a way of hedging your losses, I think more common in tournaments. Say you have a good history in tournaments, and want to play in the world series of poker ( WSOP ) but don't really want to pay the 10 K ticket, you can sell action ( maybe a friend pays you 5 K in exchange for 50% of the winnings ). The downside is that you could end up in "makeup"; indebted.
Great essay. I think we are in a great renaissance of NLH- can’t wait to see Wolfgang and other newer age vloggers in the same spots torching their bankroll due to over confidence/ limelight :)
it's sad to see Mariano punt away a significant chunk of his savings like Rampage after doing well for a bit but we must give him some props because he owns up to it a little bit and is very graceful when he loses
I don't think there's as much pressure to play crazy as vloggers claim there is. I think it's all in their heads. Thoughtful, well played hands are thoroughly entertaining to watch. I'm looking for guys like Mariano to pick those loose players off, not become one himself.
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...

Repping one's opponent's hand tends to not work out well (being results oriented/humorous... having done it once or twice myself, not for 76k though....)
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 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
The swings at these stakes is crazy. If i had a good swing taking a shot I'd try to swallow my pride and move back down and secure the big win. Easier said than done though.
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.
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.
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.
People dont understand that mariano wants certain image to get invited in better games old amature players dont want to have tight players in their game
He was obviously bored or just not focusing, or having a bad day due to hate comments or other things going on in his life. Or maybe he was just investing in fish players so they will play more in the future P: playing on stream probably makes people play more loosely/wider range to be more entertaining
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
7:35 Mariano played it fine here. There are two Aces on the board, so the board is blocking Aces, what are the odds that his opponents have an ace. He just got unlucky.
He said how little he plays is perfect for what he has going on in his life right now. Just saying that sounds pretty clear to me that whatever is going on in his life is affecting his poker and here we are
I imagine neither will go "broke", for different reasons whether that be alternate income from/because of poker, or being backed by someone. But as far as being able to sustain their play the longest? Probably Mariano because between the 2 of those guys, he looks like he sometimes does try to play good poker. Rampage has literally posted to social media that he needs the bigger action and can't play lower stakes to enjoy poker, which is a 100% sign of a gambling addict. Plus a lot of his poker logic is now "I can't ever win money if I never take a stand and gamble" (his exact words in his last vlog).
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
@@aeiouaeiouaeiou Blocker bets are typically small in size. His bet was big. It wasn't a blocker bet. It was a bluff, but he could have just checked as well. He is beaten by a lot now. When he gets called, he does not think he is good because he usually isn't. Mariano didn't have the thought at the time to turn his T into a bluff, which is what he should have done.
Yes Mariano gives action and he must or anyone must to be invited to games. But Ak for 800bb is beyond a punt. His play of late has been atrocious. When running well he looks amazing. When not he is beyond horrid.
Mariano lost himself after that loss with AK. Then proceeds to blow away the 100k he just added with trash hands after. And played them like they were Aces. You could also see Rampage look on the side like.. Bro WTF are you doing 🤦
If you can't relate to the plight of Mariano (and Rampage) you just haven't played enough poker (or your consistently a losing player, or both) . Four things are at play here; boredom, the law of large numbers, patience and discipline (the lack thereof). At some point live poker goes from being fun and exciting to mostly boring and often annoying. As you start out and grind your way up it's fun and often exciting even when you win small amounts of money. As you continue to play and your bankroll grows you need to win larger amounts of money to maintain the 'high' like a drug addiction. You want more and you want faster. At some point you become jaded. This is inevitably followed by a loss of patience and discipline and then a painful spanking or two (or ten). It's the oldest story in the book of poker.
Back in the days if you saw an Italian on your table it was free money, just raise them and they saw it as a threat to their masculinity. Having said that, Mariano seems like a cool classy guy.
He had aces vs kings and kings for a huge pot and won and then beat Andy stacks out of a huge cooler straight flush vs nut flush. He’s just not getting horseshoe up his bum anymore
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.
Mariono playing AK off like that is a cry for help. He is approaching Airball status. Mariano playing 8-4 off blind is like jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge for TH-cam clicks.

Bluffiano's poker winning chart says it all. It is easier to employ the bluff strategy against noob players in smaller stakes, but not at high stakes.
When everyone now knows you are the types of bluffs you do, you have to adjust your strategy.
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
Bluffing actually works way less in lower stakes because people just call anything off. You are dead wrong. Stay in micro stakes buddy

People dont understand that mariano wants certain image to get invited in better games old amature players dont want to have tight players in their game
He literally talks about *not* caring about that at the end of the video haha
@@AlexDuvallJust cause he talked about not caring doesn’t mean he actually doesn’t care.
Dude is a losing player
That’s one expensive image…
This is such a terrible take lmao. Mariano is a whale. He will be dead broke eventually the way he plays.
The Internet needed this video. May you become fantastically wealthy very very soon. Thank you!
High stakes poker season 1 they played like fish for a reason. This guy is just carrying the torch. “Good for the game”
He was obviously bored or just not focusing, or having a bad day due to hate comments or other things going on in his life. Or maybe he was just investing in fish players so they will play more in the future P: playing on stream probably makes people play more loosely/wider range to be more entertaining
You are coaching Mariano?? 😂😂😂 Thats cute! ❤
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
Damn buddy is just dusting off stacks like it’s nothing
Mariano is fun to watch- he just went off the rails in this stream lol
7:35 Mariano played it fine here. There are two Aces on the board, so the board is blocking Aces, what are the odds that his opponents have an ace. He just got unlucky.
The odds are 2:and the remaining cards in the deck you kuck
@@jackspinner4727 no wonder you are losing in poker
@@rockwithyou2006 I’m not losing i have never played live poker
Wheres Dan? Have gone missing since the Million Dollar Game?!
He said how little he plays is perfect for what he has going on in his life right now. Just saying that sounds pretty clear to me that whatever is going on in his life is affecting his poker and here we are
Who goes broke first Mario or ramp
Neither
I imagine neither will go "broke", for different reasons whether that be alternate income from/because of poker, or being backed by someone. But as far as being able to sustain their play the longest? Probably Mariano because between the 2 of those guys, he looks like he sometimes does try to play good poker. Rampage has literally posted to social media that he needs the bigger action and can't play lower stakes to enjoy poker, which is a 100% sign of a gambling addict. Plus a lot of his poker logic is now "I can't ever win money if I never take a stand and gamble" (his exact words in his last vlog).
I guess Rampunts mojo is rubbing off on Mariano. Mariano is hanging out with the wrong crowd
mariano looks soooo much smaller here. is it the angle of the camera or hes off-cycle from all the substances?
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
when there’s thousands involved, you better take your damn time.
lol yea bro, bit different from your home 50 cent/1 dollar games
why on earth would brown balla just call in that spot
16:20 its most likely a blocker bet for pot control right?
0 reason to bet = bluff / clicking buttons
@@AlexDuvall how is a blocker pot for pot control 0 reason to bet? If that was his goal he achieved it
@@aeiouaeiouaeiou Blocker bets are typically small in size. His bet was big. It wasn't a blocker bet. It was a bluff, but he could have just checked as well. He is beaten by a lot now. When he gets called, he does not think he is good because he usually isn't. Mariano didn't have the thought at the time to turn his T into a bluff, which is what he should have done.
Not sure who is worse, Mariano or Tesla
3 bet with AK and just call 4best that’s how I do in position
I would probably min 5 bet and fold out of position
For those who aren't familiar with the term "tilt," this is it.
That last comment about the game being not skill dependant said it all about him
Was interesting for sure
What he was saying applies to short term, not long term which maybe he recognizes
Yes Mariano gives action and he must or anyone must to be invited to games. But Ak for 800bb is beyond a punt. His play of late has been atrocious. When running well he looks amazing. When not he is beyond horrid.
Mariano lost himself after that loss with AK. Then proceeds to blow away the 100k he just added with trash hands after. And played them like they were Aces. You could also see Rampage look on the side like.. Bro WTF are you doing 🤦
If you can't relate to the plight of Mariano (and Rampage) you just haven't played enough poker (or your consistently a losing player, or both) . Four things are at play here; boredom, the law of large numbers, patience and discipline (the lack thereof). At some point live poker goes from being fun and exciting to mostly boring and often annoying. As you start out and grind your way up it's fun and often exciting even when you win small amounts of money. As you continue to play and your bankroll grows you need to win larger amounts of money to maintain the 'high' like a drug addiction. You want more and you want faster. At some point you become jaded. This is inevitably followed by a loss of patience and discipline and then a painful spanking or two (or ten). It's the oldest story in the book of poker.
This is hard for people to relate to when they are playing such high stakes
Kudos to him saying he played at the end
Mariano is rolling his eyes at the easy call comment with a set of 88. Set of 88 is a easy fold. Cant beat anything tbh.
Back in the days if you saw an Italian on your table it was free money, just raise them and they saw it as a threat to their masculinity. Having said that, Mariano seems like a cool classy guy.
Lol wattt
I think Mariano underestimated Zhao. Zhao is a beast.
He had aces vs kings and kings for a huge pot and won and then beat Andy stacks out of a huge cooler straight flush vs nut flush. He’s just not getting horseshoe up his bum anymore
Why didn’t brown balla go all in with his full house?
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.
People under estimate someone three times your age that deal with people every day for 50 years straight “the business man” joke is dangerous..
If someone 3 bets you. You know they have a pair. Or rarely bluff.
Then why do it
Mariono playing AK off like that is a cry for help. He is approaching Airball status. Mariano playing 8-4 off blind is like jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge for TH-cam clicks.
18:48 The idea of someone taking a piece of Nick's action made me laugh so hard.
My exact thought 😂
Who's gonna buy action from you Nick
This dude was on tilt 😃
