[@nevras9500]

You're aan after my own heart with the 9-3 offsuit hand. Years ago I was at a cash game and I folded 93 offshoot and the flop came up 333. Since then I have always made it a point to play 93 off suit with some degree of success. Thank you for proving the point I've told people about 9-3 offsuit

[@cameronandrew1853]

absolute monster of a hand. You gotta make sure to add it to your 4bet value range occasionally as well.

[@vegasaviation2243]

Great player, great vlog, and a great dude. Thanks for taking the time to take a picture with me in vegas. Very nice of you, man. Hope to see more vlogs in the near future

[@BigAlaska28]

Thanks for taking a picture with me it was cool meeting you 🤑

Poker is disgusting. Poker is beautiful. Poker is evil. Poker is good. Poker is secondary. Poker is Life.

Keep coming back to MORONGO, they’re always my favorite

[@paulgibbons-keynotespeaker]

very well played - always tempting when running great to flick in these loose river calls- think those folds were great

[@healthdoc]

On the flop bet at 17:04 villain’s hand is shaking like a leaf in a storm. 😂

[@timsullivan4566]

Not so much a NLH masterclass as an enjoyable, relaxing bit of entertainment. And for that, sir, I thank you.👋👍🙏

[@LinkElectric808]

I love the old school Morongo trips!

[@philcummings9525]

mariano may be the most likeable vlogger in the business ... He is just so easy going and chill with his delivery and i'm not talking about his intro music ! ... Missed him at HCL last night as i'm in Colorado and hadta go home .... Rampage was sposta be there the night i showed up be he didnt show ... I Find the nights i get big hands as expected i break even lose or win a little .... The nights my trash hands win, i win big .... wth do i know student of the game

[@richardsolis9788]

You had 3 trips of A's and the other guy had lost to you 4 times in a row. You have to stand when your winning and have such a great hand!

[@mycommentpwnz]

I like your A3 fold. Virtually nobody continues barreling into two players, on a draw, when the board pairs (specially when it is an ACE that paired!) Consequently, I'd say that I'm 95% certain that, AT BEST, you were chopping with a weak suited ace (in spades.) EDIT: But, most likely, you were beat by AQ/AJ/A10.

[@keyboardmanyoutube3189]

I am not sure. The guy bet 3 streets. It’s more like he has a boat than a better kicker

[@mycommentpwnz]

Yeah, but he was sizing his bets SPECIFICALLY so a weak ace COULD call.@@keyboardmanyoutube3189 All his bets were very "value-ish."

[@alking6633]

I would Agree with you but he also punted unnecessarily in the last hands so I would have called with the trip Aces here and NOT the other hands.

[@mycommentpwnz]

I feel you. At the end of the day, it was only a 2/3's pot-sized river bet, and you have trip aces. Calling is probably MORE Standard than folding. It's just in my experience, board pairs always, ALWAYS, shut-down bluffs in multiway pots. @@alking6633

[@jolaz69]

93 off suit hand was sick. Make a play to steal - and then get the perfect run out to get paid the max.

[@boris4240]

I'am a chat expert. That call was 50/50 and dat fold was fifty-fifty. Thats my free advice for u, Mariano poker. If u wanna level up your game, take a note from my analysis

[@djlightsout06]

All I want for Xmas is a Mariano playlist with all of these chill intro beats

[@kmestry3343]

Finally back! Been rewatching all the old videos waiting for an upload😂

[@trevorholt5162]

Missed the vlog bro! Happy new year!

[@bobhodge5577]

If my math is right, you were down about $6500 going into that last hand. Nice catch my friend. The guy with the flush couldn't get away from you quick enough. Easy fold for him cause he couldn't beat a boat or a higher flush.

[@ThaiNguyen-wg3uy]

$2K and a free room isn’t a bad thing at all! Love your vids, please keep it up!

[@finnish_maniac8927]

ahelluva lot better than losing 500k like rampage did last nite

[@kanishkkandoi]

@@finnish_maniac8927I don’t think rampage uses any of his money anymore. He just loves to sell action on stakekings!

[@Neferious]

Damn, did you get a new camera? Vlog is looking EXTRA crispy.

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

How do you make so many hands

[@Gerardo-b9l]

About a year ago i was plsying the $2/$4 cash game at venetian. It was a new game and two of the players played at morongo. After about an hour, after yet another massive river bet i could not call i said "i think i just got monrongo'd again". The morongo boys were wildly aggro 😂

[@mycommentpwnz]

Mariano makes great plays all the time, but, let's give his opponent some CREDIT!! That raise by your opponent with K10 was, truly, a masterful "old school" poker play! BRAVO!!! 1.) That min-raise forced Mariano to relinquish control of the betting, and subsequently this prevents Mariano from winning the pot on SHEER aggression. K10 was able to do this because, on that run-out, with the previous action, Mariano is going to be capped at an over-pair (at a VERY high frequency.) 2.) If Mariano HAD the over-pair, yes, he is obviously going to CALL the turn min-raise. But, Mariano is going to CHECK the river at nearly 100% frequency, and this allows K10 to get to SHOWDOWN naming his OWN PRICE. 3.) HOWEVER, if Mariano calls the turn-raise, and K10 now believes he is BEAT, he now has the potential to MERGE his "value hand" or his "showdown hand," into a BLUFF. One last thing: The min-raise only worked so beautifully because it's virtually impossible to identify 5,000$ as a true "min raise." Regardless of bet-sizing, 5k is 5k. it FEELS STRONG. Don't try doing this at a 1/2$ game lol...

[@theg10055]

10 minutes in to watching the vlog and Mariano has had the nuts 4 times including quads. Must be nice

[@jeffshackleford3152]

It can be. The problem with constantly having the nuts is if you are not humble enough to say " I have been running really well lately, but I still need to work on... ". That is the true test of a poker player's mentality.

[@jacobhyde3251]

Was nice seeing you there! Didnt wanna bug and ask for a pic but was dope seeing you.

[@bills1157]

Love watching you Mariano....you seem fearless every time I watch you.

[@ekw555]

[@robinson3313]

that 93o hand was amazing. I gotta start watching more of your vlogs

[@Morey_Lifts]

glad to see the good stuff again my man

[@Fignuts35]

Did they end up doing a timed rake for that game? I guess I dont recall asking about any of the other games you have played there.

[@xxyanlixx]

I like the suspenseful close-up shot of the 27 at the intro

[@josenomercy8950]

Mariano how do you record when u play poker??!! Your phone? Do you ask for permission from the casino? Good luck champ!

Those $500 chips look so pretty 🤑

[@maddie6395]

Awesome Mariano! Please keep the vids coming ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@omariwisdom3933]

I would really appreciate if you put a time stamp in your videos so we can see how often you play hands because with the editing and no tome stamp it's hard to know how often you get good cards and playable hands

[@Jacob_Dancer]

Man, I have to say, the poker room looks way better in your video.

Same. Morongo is a great casino but its in the middle of nowhere

@@Swishseb666 You're almost right, my friend. It is a haul to get there from most places, but I drive from the middle of nowhere (east) to get there... The action is good with friendly staff and great promotions.

[@Swishseb666]

@@user-il2pm4zn3e not everyone has the same definition. If you think driving 2+ hours from LA (without traffic) isn’t long then that’s up to u bro. Anyways, we have many casinos in LA. Morongo always felt unique though.

Nice to see the videos again Mariano

The way that the villain in that final hand pushed the chips to you, gave off the vibe that he'd take a screwdriver to your car if he knew he'd get away with it. what a way to stack him, Mariano lol

Pretty tame imo

[@bearhammergames]

possible live hand tell imo on the player with KK at 17:45. His hand shakes on his small bet on the flop having trouble controlling the excitement.
