$100/hr at LOW STAKES Poker?! | Ep 1

[@hungryhorsepoker]

what do you guys think - is $100/hr even POSSIBLE in a $1k cap game?

[@330miggs]

Only under HUNGRY HORSE'S Tutelage ♠️ 💰 15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD

[@TheNow_Now]

In a game where someone is considering hero calling with QQ on that PLO hand? Sure. In a normal 200bb 5/5 game that doesn't have bomb pots like at the Bike? Likey more difficult.

[@Seeyaoyim]

The answer is obviously yes who dumb enough to say no

[@PhonyBologna]

With PLO bomb pots give it a bit of an asterisk, considering its a different game and not many games have this. Would be ideal if you could track these separately on this saga.

[@Mossy5150]

What does your average winning session need to be in order to pad against your average losing session and maintain $100/hr?

[@tarlkudrick1174]

I like this series a lot. Could you spend just a LITTLE time next time showing a couple of hands you considered playing pre-flop and then folded? I don't mean folding junk, I mean, "Now normally I'd three-bet here but something seems off, so I fold" kind of hands.

Keep showing the bomb pots. They play that shit at a place I play at during breaks and as a winning player I've been avoiding playing it even when I have a bunch of chips to play with. I need to hear more of peoples mentality on certain types of draws in tough spots.

I have an idea for a new series. Could you possibly spend 2 or 3 days playing at various casinos around the country and reporting on the differences between the regions? Where are they soft? Where are they fairly tough? And general thoughts? I am solely interested in the poker competition, though if you want to share your thoughts on the casino itself, that'd be "extra". 1. Hustler or Bicycle in L.A 2. Downtown Las Vegas vs the Strip. 3. Seminole Hard Rock Tampa 4. Borgata in Atlantic City 5. MGM Grand Detroit 6. Beau Rivage in Biloxi

[@hungryhorsepoker]

love the idea, but not interested in doing it myself. am married and not interested in traveling for poker at this stage of life, but would be a fun series.

[@77hansolo77]

[@robgiordano6207]

The bomb pots in my room can be a drag at times. I do play them but they play 2 each every dealer change. So $60 an hour is the price of admission ($15x4) to play them and they rake them higher than the typical single board hands. When they first introduced them in my main room people punted way more than they do now. So for a while they were amazing. I understand some players wanting to minimize the variance and BB bleed by avoiding them. On the other side of the coin, the profit potential of playing them is not lost on me either. In any event, love your content and look forward to more of this series.

[@Kancelari123]

9:15 this is obviously a good call. How would you consider folding here?

[@brianfagnan]

Keep the bomb pot since it is part of your hourly goal for this series. I really like your new series showing your strategies in play. However please please please do not stop your Tuesday lessons 😊. I get so much value out of them even if if others complain that it is repetitive. If they would pay attention you add little tidbits of extra info and repetition is a great way to learn. This month i achieved 100/hr at 1/2 NLHE but my average is 24/hr. Your lessons and strategies have skyrocketed my game. Thank you!

[@hungryhorsepoker]

don’t worry the tuesday lessons will keep coming! thank u for the kind words

Ok seeing this in real time with the thought process you highlight in theory vids. It’s impressive man 🔥🔥 super clean ideas, great mindset, not tilted or upset just purely analytical. Love it! 🎉

[@mZondo]

Flopping the nuts on one board in the bomb pot 🙌 great feeling. Well played on that hand. Maybe you lead out post flop but I don’t think the check hurt that much. Now the guy showing his queens was hilarious 😆 great video. Great editing. Good value.

Great video, will definitely watch more. Would love to see you use these strategies in 1/2, which I think is a much different game than 5/5. A considerable amount of your winnings were made via bluffing and bluff-catching, both of which are much more difficult at 1/2.

This is fantastic man. I really like the vlog style content from you. I find it incredibly helpful and entertaining. Lots to learn. You are crushing it with the content man. I hope you made lots more of these. And yes please include the double board bomb pots.

[@josephwilloughby-nu4zb]

You answered one of my long sought after questions like, "If my opponents only 3bet QQ+ and AK, shouldn't I be able to open super wide?" However, I always thought that if you raise bigger preflop, you should tighten up your range no? I assume you're right, that when they don't 3bet much at all, just go wide and raise bigger.

[@hungryhorsepoker]

as is the question to everything in poker “it depends!” rfi range and open sizing depends upon: 1) stack depth 2) post flop edge 3) freq of getting 3b 4) how wide they are calling

[@kenrobinson1188]

This series of videos is brilliant …the hater inside of me/devil on my shoulder always says “yeah low stakes games are different yadie, yadie, yada” and watching this shuts them the fuck up.

[@johnanthonycreative]

I love these, BUT I don’t think you should count the double board PLO bomb pots as part of the win rate, because few places are approved to do this

[@amazinc754]

Sizing postflops is still something I'm tryna learn. In the first hand in the video I saw you bet overpot on the turn w a bluff but said they might stay for a street..Do one pair holdings really stick around with such large bets?

[@EricPollarrd]

[@QuickPoker]

Best poker content on KZbin right now for real. I always say it doesn't matter how much free advice is out there I'm not worried about people getting too good . . . until now. Seriously, if enough recreational players and players in general start watching this channel poker is gonna be hard to beat! 😲 Anyway Mark would u consider a larger bet than $60 on the last hand when u flopped top 2 with Q9? I think there is enough draws out there that you could have bet 100? Either way you were still able to get stacks in on turn but if villain had more chips you probably could have sized up? ⚡

[@hungryhorsepoker]

appreciate the kind words! nice part about still using relatively small size on flop is villains will still raise off with big draws and worse value sometimes.

[@yoniker83]

Summary at the end (+868$) and the pots shown at this video do not match. The total win/loss sum up to less than 400$ profit. I'd suggest adding a current win/loss so it will be easier to follow. Good idea and good luck in your challenge! Time stamp Win/loss 7:14 -1000 9:34 -980 11:25 140 13:20 90 15:47 -225 17:33 480 20:52 500 24:28:00 300 25:57:00 540 27 500 sum 345

[@hungryhorsepoker]

yes, i said i would show “every significant hand” along the way. i don’t show hands where i open and everyone folds, or i cbet and take down the pot. no one would watch. but thanks for the detective work i guess.

[@yoniker83]

@@hungryhorsepoker I understand that, but at the end of the video I was like “wtf, dude got stacked for 400BB how can the pots after be 800$ profit”. If most of the profit is from srp folded on the flop, then it might actually be interesting to the intended audience (poker players who want to improve). Good luck on your challenge mate.

[@Ineedmoney1234]

Do you think 27:10 is a live tell where opponent moves his cards to the side to make his stack more visible? Some times you will see opponent bring cards closer to them, which is a sign of strength. Do you put any weight into these live tells or just blindly follow your blueprint?

[@hungryhorsepoker]

i don’t blindly follow anything. i appreciate you watching the videos and trying to learn, but based on a few other comments i think you’re misunderstanding a bit. everything i do is based on why, not what. nothing is a memorized thing to do because this is what you do. it all shifts based on the variables in front of me.

[@hungryhorsepoker]

i like to think of the matrix when neo asks if he will be able to dodge bullets. morpheus says, when you’re ready, you won’t have to.

[@JQpoker]

Love this series can’t wait for more episodes!

[@hungryhorsepoker]

🥰🥰

[@gdo1]

Good video. The T9 hand can never be a fold simply from their ability to spaz with 2 pairs. (they "put" you on AK and don't want a straight/higher 2 pair card to roll off - fish logic) I mean the A10 jam on a rb board is more ridiculous than KQ, for example. Also they will have some sets which they "trapped" preflop with. I think you were a bit results oriented there.

[@hungryhorsepoker]

no. i literally said during the hand at the table im probably going to fold.

[@gdo1]

@@hungryhorsepoker I meant results oriented in the narration of the video. It's sample size 1, you made the right read in that specific hand, but do you really think you don't have 25% equity vs his jamming range on the turn?

[@edmubarek5168]

Now this is what I'm talking about! Thanks for this vid!

[@flexurmind]

I see you open a lot of mediun hand strengths in earlies positions. Did it was an explorative approach since on this table players were more passive?

[@Dumdum808]

Gotta play the double board bomb pots, why wouldn’t you take the opportunity to play vs ppl that have no experience with omaha. huge advantage. Our games here are $1-2 but plays similar if not bigger than $5-5 because the degens here love action….so as soon the strictly holdem players leave we start playing NO LIMIT double board games ….all kinds of variations and it gets insane. every hand looks like they have the nuts or drawing to it 😂

Fun to watch, but I think I this is no low stakes for me.

[@killerdragon333]

I love watching mariano vlogs for its entertainment + I think he's pretty good, so love that a theoretical player like yourself is doing these vlogs! Very interesting hearing mariano's more gto-grounded deep stack approach (although still exploitative) vs your highly exploitative reasoning. Keep up the slow rolls! (that shit was fucked uppp)

[@Yaseen47]

Everyone is brutal. Most of all Mariano. Only a very small % of professional poker players are actually quality poker minds. A VERY small %. You don't need to be good at poker to make a living playing poker. Not at all. You just need to be less bad than your opponents are.

[@Yaseen47]

😂 I just re-read your comment. "Mariano's GTO grounded approach" has me rolling 😂😂😂. That young man bless his heart does not have a clue. It's unfortunate that he is hell bent on learning the hard way, cuz he's def a good kid. Based on what I've seen the only way he will learn is by blasting off his entire roll and realizing there's something more for him to learn. (Which is always the case in poker... ALWAYS). He could have paid for top coaches by now. He hasn't. Almost everything that comes out of his mouth is jaw-on-the-floor level nonsense. The more he speaks the more clear it is that he does exactly zero homework. 😂😂😂 On the other hand he could possibly just run good forever and keep on making videos that make new players and casuals worse than they already are. This is actually possible there are a few players that magically just run good forever. And mark my words if you don't already know your ass from your face in poker, watching Mariano is only gonna make you worse.

[@killerdragon333]

Maybe i'm throwing around GTO too lightly, but I definitely see theory grounding many of mariano's choices when I watch him play. Of course, maybe it's basic theory or things that might be seen as trivial to people who study poker extensively now, but I feel a lot of the decision making is solidly founded. Then again, I'm definitely not nearly as good at poker as those who have spent a lot of time studying the game so it's possible I have a warped perception of skill. Even harder to tell who is actually good in a game that relies so heavily on chance and wherein "bad decisions" can be justified as "exploits" (validly so, as Mark shows via nodelocking)
