14 CRAZY POKER HANDS

[@ajshribbs]

I like your creativity and personality with the cool scenic intros, i will watch your videos no matter what you do, even if its just hand histories, but your personality is what got me hooked onto your videos in the first place. a poker vlog with just hand histories kind of seems to lose its original essence, i like seeing more of you and your style, it makes your videos more unique and relatable. if people just want to see hand histories, if i were your video editor, then just tell people what minute marker to go to for the hand histories

[@Drokkers]

100% agree

[@samorledge1090]

What this gentleman said 👍🏼

[@youtuberconsuming6411]

what personality?

[@benedson3381]

Yup

[@steven9941]

Agreed I'm also here no matter what you decide for your video styles!

[@deep_cuts2019]

11:51 Mariano has the best reactions 😂 Personally I really enjoy the music and b-roll in the videos. I think it contributes a lot to the overall vibe

[@jamesturner9768]

Props for not even mentioning the reaction Patrick had to the 97 vs 88 while 3rd player was left to act. Class act as always

[@joshkasen]

I also prefer the original way. Keep the creativity alive for us and for yourself. If I want to just watch hands, I can find that anywhere 🤙🏻

[@DrGBJ]

Love the fact that Neme called you the best Vloger out there. 💯 true

[@ajshribbs]

Truth

[@timsullivan4566]

Actually I think he referred to him as the best player among the vloggers.

[@Rocco69Siffredi]

Best? bootlicker..

[@ajshribbs]

@@timsullivan4566 yes 👍

[@Hawksforever99]

To be fair, I believe he said best POKER player who makes vlogs. Still a pretty great compliment from the Vlog-father 😊

[@zomb1ecube]

I personally love your regular style of videos. The poker is great and all but the extra stuff is what makes your videos the nuts!

[@maxvl2832]

I like the o/g intro's. It just sets the tone for the vlog. The scenary to the different places you visit is refreshing. It.s like chaos is all around and you take us to a place that is safe. But it.s great to mix it up too.

[@youtuberconsuming6411]

as GGAI says, no poker vlog is complete without douchey (royalty free) trap music

[@guitarfreak80ftw]

I prefer the b-roll and storytelling style but love all the videos

[@ericreinhardt5625]

I like the other style video better. As always, I love the content and hand breakdowns. You are legit one of the best out there Mariano. Keep crushing it.

[@DonkeyAndy]

You do you, man. As long as you have hand histories in your vids, you can do whatever you want. You tend to have high quality vlogs either way.

[@fonzieflops]

Nothing wrong with mixing it up once in a while! I enjoy all the styles you bring to us.

[@jasongorman]

Love the normal intros. They add a certain vibe to your work that is distinct and pleasant. That said, your production instincts are great. I think you should do what feels the most fun to you so you don't lose the love for it. I'm sure we'll be fine no matter what.

[@Heavycardboard]

I am legitimately amazed and impressed with your ability to roll with the swings as well as you do. You're an excellent role model for those of us who struggle with that aspect of poker. As for your question of style of video, as a fellow content creator (albeit very different format and subject and smaller) I can't stress enough that you should make the content that you ENJOY making. It not only comes through when you film, it also helps keep things fresh for YOU and in turn, keeps the content coming, which we all win from. So keep on keeping on and know that your content is 'must watch TV' from where I sit. Cheers, Mariano! - Edward

[@joseluislarios6036]

I like the new format and the increased amount of hands. But I’m missing that legendary intro. Specifically those drone shots

[@CapronFunk]

Hey, big fan of all your vlogs and how they evolved. My favorite vlog was the BTS mix with hands, analysis, buying into the cage etc. it was a few month ago. I enjoy the montages as well

[@ogFIEND]

This video was rad because of the hands you showed but I prefer seeing your b-roll edits and hearing the music too. Cheers to another good vlog, Mariano.

[@stevo04111990]

Love the b roll. Love the music. It’s what makes your videos great. The old way is better but will watch these forever

[@kalebbates99]

I feel the normal style of videos where your out in a random location make the video seem more grounded and realistic. This style is great to but the normal intros just feel more natural and chill to me. Keep up the money videos!

[@josuegarcia-qz2yz]

Love the videos man crazy to see how far you've come!

[@mediamastermenard2858]

I love the scenic intros and b-roll!

[@drakereghenas9827]

Mariano is a solid player and seems like an even better dude! Always rooting for Mariano on the hustler stream!

[@anthonygarcia3981]

Do what you love man. It's what made you who you are! I like the OG style but can learn from yoy either way

[@dspatchin]

I really like the original style...it is what drew me in when you were playing 1/3. Hand analysis is the core content, so it's not bad to mix one like this in, and your play has gotten stellar (Neeme says you are the best poker vlogger player) so that hand analysis is really fun.

[@sayten421]

I like the balance between B roll and hands. Sets you apart from other poker vloggers. High production value

[@andreyvstaroselskiy]

I usually skip to the hands portion of the video, but sometimes I enjoy watching the creative aspect of vloggers such as you and Brad Owen because it also adds a personal element to your videos. It makes your personality shine, and any viewers that don't want to watch that part can simply skip as well. That way we don't perceive you as just some poker player, but more as a person, a mentor, a soothing voice :)

[@dannyhicking]

I much prefer your normal format, it is one of the things that make you stand out as a poker vlogger. Your vlogs have style, cool shots, cool music, they are always an instant watch for me. Kinda like watching a Tarantino movie without the gratuitous feet shots 😆😉 Edit - it is probably worth saying, as you are becoming more recognized in the poker world, a lot of the hands from live streams are already out there, so adding your own style to the vlogs of those hands adds to them

[@gradycox2293]

Great careers are dreams ,so glad yours is coming true. You have earned your place youngster.

[@xavierharding8938]

Hi Mariano long time fan. I would watch your videos regardless of the format but I love your videos as is. The music, the scenery, the overall cool vibes of the video are all fantastic. If it were a case of you not having the time or motivation to make videos like that I would still love to see a video of this format where you analyze the hands. It's always great to get a little insight as to your thought process etc. Either way love the content and I truly appreciate you sharing a part of your life with us. Your growth in stakes and skill has been amazing. Good luck to you Mariano ! Cheers.

[@philipblakeley8031]

Your videos with the music and extras is my favorite part of watching you! Plus your not a negative person you just keep it real. So for my opinion stay with the creative you and enjoy your own creations for they will be there forever!

[@lrodwal]

I like the old way with the music and footage

[@bearatts]

Your way with the B-roll and the music, and the cinematics, is what separates you from all the other vlogs. Been here since the beginning. Keep it up!

[@benfinlayson7231]

Changing it up shows your dedication to trying to make your vlogs the best they can be and I appreciate that about you. That said I think your creativity is what makes your videos stand out amongst the crowd and I’d love to see you continue with the short films by Mariano

[@larrygrapentine8472]

My wife and I have been watching you for a couple of years, have seen every video. For the intro, I do like the drone footage and music, as well as you talking about what you are up to. I would say a 2-3 minutes intro is the sweet spot. I agree with previous comments about adding chapter markers for those that just want to see hands.

[@BridgePewDiePie]

I love both forms of content mariano do whatever you’d like, people can skip to the hands if they want

[@4aits]

I prefer the old way! But nice to see you thinking about different things and ways to show. Thanks for what you do!!

[@christophergarcia2582]

I love the B-Roll for sure. You’re great at setting the aesthetic of the town and venue and it puts me in your shoes before you buy in for ungodly amounts of cash.

[@dareu2move649]

I think it's cool that you do both ways just providing as much content as possible keeps us engaged in what's going on. Like your analysis!

[@SundayEdits777]

love the hands, love the b-roll! anything you do man it’s always great content !

[@samuelnemetsky4088]

I appreciate the b roll footage and whatnot. It really sets the scene for the blog and adds an element of adventure.

[@williamhubel4643]

I definitely prefer the long format. Makes it not feel like homework but like a vicarious ride

[@gregbuehrer5955]

I like the drone footage, cassino views, the area, etc., gives more of a being there feel and knowing something about a place I've never been to.

[@idrisbalavakos]

You are my favorite vlogger and the artistry is a huge part of it.

[@luishenriquez8824]

Honestly I like both types of videos, but the ones where you talk about your personal life is better to me since that is why I don’t arch you more than other poker channels! Keep it up and great content!

[@eelllliiootttt]

amazing folds man. I've come to learn how important reading player types is when it comes to calling down and you seem to have become rock solid in recent months

[@eelllliiootttt]

Also you are supposed to be 32% in the j10 hand without knowing dead cards. Which is only IF he just has an Ace hence my amazing folds comment. Specially against nik the dick

[@marioarribas3451]

Living legend! I also prefer your original style of vlog, but I’ll never complain about more hands. Cheers 🤝

[@Pchanizzle]

I like this structure but your normal videos are so well produced. I might suggest every couple months do a recap video "50 crazy poker hands" or something, would be really cool.

[@tylerfrye5490]

Mariano Definitely my favorite poker vlogger.

[@jakemason4801]

Prefer the normal style of vlogs Keep going brother, you're killing it

[@cameronandrew1853]

I like the creativity. It adds a nice touch to your channel that keeps it special and separates it from other vlogs. That footage is what helped lead to your wild success amongst all the others my friend

[@etrain8885]

As always, I think you should go with the style you like. If people want “hands only”, just add chapter markers for when they start and when you move from one session to the next. Best of both worlds. Just hands for people who want just hands, and a short film for those of us who like your art just as much as the poker.

[@benbrooks6080]

Definitely the usual way man, your video edits and good music, all the extras, is what makes your videos a lot cooler and classier than the other guys! Keep it up man

[@rgolightly1]

I like the b-roll and behind the scenes stuff in addition to the highest stakes I will never play.

[@The_Cohen]

I like this format. It’s good to mix it up every so often, but your usual vids are great too.

[@michaelslonim6566]

I’m a fan of the dope b-roll and creativity in your videos, definitely keep being creative 🎉🎉

[@paulquintana4949]

I like the version with graphics, cool music, drones and all that fun stuff. Thanks!!

[@CaKayakFishing]

Appreciate the variety in this style. Good to mix it up bro.

[@jtw3002]

awesome to keep it fresh, and enjoy both styles, but i definitely prefer the format of the OG videos.

[@hashemqaz3582]

I like the music and the place as well. Always love a little casino introduction as well. Like your first few vlogs where you always review the casino you are playing.

[@lonewolf73350]

I like the other way. The aerial views are awsome especially to someone like me who doesnt get to travel out much and see them personally. I find it nice and relaxing before all the choas that is about to unfold!

[@rejeanduval6464]

Thought lost against Mike bad, bad, bad river. Love you're classic format, been watching you since the beginning and will continue.

[@majorburke9735]

I like the intros. And the drone shots. Music is always good. Makes me feel like I’m going with you to the casino.

[@brandeng4669]

You literally are an animal at this game bro some of these folds you make and these reads you have is insane! Truly always a pleasure to hear and watch your analysis of the hands bro

[@charlestompkins8819]

Like this VLOG format. No need for fancy music. Worked out well. Keep up the run good!

[@kingsolicitor]

Good for a change Mariano, but your usual format is a proven winner. I caught an Andrew Neeme vlog the other day when you were both playing at the Lodge. He was very complimentary of you, rightly so of course, stating that you were the best poker player of the vloggers. Interesting for him to make that comment, as I recall you saying on the Nick Vertucci podcast that it was Andrew Neeme's vlogs that got you into poker and doing your own vlogs. You're a class act, Mariano, keep it going.

[@kellya.5203]

Here's another vote for the original style "A Short Film By Mariano" videos. But no matter what, I'd still enjoy your awesome content!

[@youtuberconsuming6411]

"a short film by mariano's producer"

[@kennygpokerstrategy4917]

Man I love the B-Roll. I'm watching either way though :)

[@jefecito5108]

That huge quads tell at 11:51 lol

[@crystalpepsi71]

Love the vlogs since the beginning! I like the old format but if you a lot of content you think is good I don't mind this one occasionally. Good job! 👊

[@davidyoung3901]

I prefer the old style but nice change occasionally with today's vlog 👍

[@xoupas]

Best Poker KZbinr by far man, what a pleasure to follow your videos. I think that still you may improve the video quality by adding well some additional features: hand number / total hand numbers and dividing the stream in moments for those hands for better visualization. Keep it up

[@wc123]

Original. Love to see you feature your creativity, and it feels like that’s what YOU want to do and that’s all that matters.

[@sapper2279]

Like the other way. Love to hear about everything as a whole.

[@danielkidwell736]

Best vid yet. Imo props man you are killing it

[@LordMikoOfVegas]

Scenery is so much better! It’s not that your boring but it becomes a poker adventure and it shows the bright side of a brutal game at times. I’m sure we all feel the same haha

[@viktarivinski9512]

Both options are great. I prefer the original one with longer intro and ending, but just hands will work as well. Thanks and keep it up!

[@eldenmandy8398]

Do what you like and enjoy. I think you make enough playing poker to be honest. The more you like/love making videos the easier it gets with KZbin.

[@mr.doriangrey3394]

I like the creativity and music Just add more hands lol longer vids

[@patriciaroane2677]

Don’t change anything. I love the creativity and the variety of your vlogs

[@markjilson4777]

FWIW I enjoy the full into/outro vlogs but this format is also good. It's your vlog so you do you.

[@kainenbressette8497]

Always appreciated your creativity and high quality video.

[@andycovington8891]

Nice run, I prefer the short interlude with music and short description

[@brucet.3239]

That fold from Patrick with top two was shocking to me. If he's folding that spot, this game is too big for him.

[@MrXanderii]

I do like the other way. You have a very interesting approach , whatever you do, I will watch

[@rorycooke661]

Love your videos. Your production is awesome! Definitely like the other way more

[@theawfulgambler]

More creativity is better but the voiceover and thoughts is what makes you stand out and this still had that.

[@wadeterheide8873]

I like your content so you choose the style and I will enjoy! Thanks

[@organizedfun1255]

I like your normal videos because they are more creative and get to see the places along the way .

[@Cardb33]

Folding that Q/9 Flush when Klu had a Full House was such a good play. You've gotten really good at picking your spots, you were already such a good player but the last 4-6 months you've kicked it in to a whole next gear and I'm really happy to see it.

[@SsEeBbAaSsTtIiAaN__]

The cinematique - style is great. Please make your videos in the „old“ style. Music, the camera- shots etc are amazing.

[@aaronhoskins5894]

I haven't yet watched the full vid, but I know I prefer the fun B-roll and other production flourishes. Don't get me wrong, I come for the hand analysis, but the extras are terrific. Thank you for the great work.

[@tonydelcrognale22]

Funny seeing Nate hill on the stream, had no clue he played poker lol Love the content as usual 🤝

[@user-hv1ik9li7f]

I normally don't comment on anyone's videos, but this one merits a proper response. Your creativity is part of what sets you apart from all other poker vlogs. There is artistic genius in your work, brother. The veritas of your productions speak to the level of self-awareness that you have in this world at such a young age. Any critics that you may have should be disregarded without emotion.

[@Blase21]

Those that don’t care for anything besides the hands will just skip through so I’d say keep doing your thing bc that’s part of what makes this vlog yours

[@markstakelbeck8889]

I like how you changed up for this video but I think I agree with you when you said you prefer the other way. I definitely wouldn’t be upset to see you make a few more videos like this occasionally though I definitely watch every video that you put out and can’t wait to see the next one.

[@jeffreywu7436]

love your content you deserve more subs TBH

[@mrmake3sakamrwet970]

This was a great video, but I love your other videos. Also, I’d like to know what’s going on in your life, so keep doing that.

[@dawidkielar9308]

All Your’s videos are great! Old version for me a little better ;)

[@HectorRamirez-sq9il]

Hey Mariano, I love your videos and your though process through each hand. But I do like the way the videos were. Not this new format. But no matter what you choose to do, I will still watch each video you put out.

[@APolitically]

I like both formats. But I do prefer to see a session from beginning to end with the buy-in and the results. Keep up the good work!

[@Marner2Matthews]

mariano stacking people with AA vs AKs, AKs vs AKs, what a beast
