God help him find that he needs to study more and grow much much more as a player before he becomes a winner at high stakes against people like Vibes!

[@cubanhack3r]

@@YallaMiami Most deff! Imo he is skill barely for 1/2 live. He is very loose without even thinking, always makes weird strategies like thinking he can hit trips with a 3% chance not counting implied odds. Plus I honestly don’t know how he is bankrolled to play stakes that high. I think he should invest in training from a good pro or God forbid he will be back to his early days of delivering pizza.

Thanks for the content, Mariano. Bro playing in these games is impressive especially watching you come up quickly from 2/5 and 5/10! Plus, u definitely hold ur own at those stakes…best of luck on the next stream, sir!

[@matt_cah]

Little bit of a punt session. Helps to see the cards obviously. It's interesting as it speaks to how comfortable you've gotten at these stakes. Your lines made sense and I'm sure get you paid in many many other spots. Still, great vlog as always Mariano.

unhelpful in the moment, but gotta remember running like a sunlord this time last year. You alluded to it on your outro but it would be cool to hear more how you are processing the human emotion side of variance in poker (especially when moving up stakes). we appreciate all your hard work + sharing in the last 16 months

Thanks Mariano, I love following your extraordinary journey, let the cards 🃏 fall your way ! 💪💪👍😎

Vlogs like this give legitimacy to the big winning vlogs. e.g. you give the strategic commentary but end up losing the hand several times. But that's how poker strategy actually is. Keep it up 👍🏽

Keep it up Mariano. You are becoming more comfortable in the table playing these high stakes the reason I am saying that is because you have a lot of guns in your arsenal and you can make a weak hand in to a winning hand. Credits to you! Letssss goooo

[@lesliehamilton2020]

Great playing! On that KQ hand even though the side pot is dry, does it not make more sense to bet big and fold to a raise? I mean you're likely not getting called by a 9 or 10s regardless of the size, and if he's got a Queen he's snapping you off. Seems to be a perfect overbet spot and fold to a raise there. But I don't play these stakes so i'd love to hear what other people think about that.

[@MarianoPoker]

Idk, I think dry side pots are an unexplored territory

[@lesliehamilton2020]

@@MarianoPoker Honestly that isn't a situation i've been in often enough either. Would be very curious what the collective "best move is". Great vlog regardless my man!

[@DashOfSalt84]

A bit late, but I think "theory" goes out the window in this case. I don't think it's possible to be balanced here because it's never a good idea to bluff into a dry side pot. You're basically only getting called by this very small subsection of hands that have enough value to call but not enough to raise. Having said that, being balanced isn't necessarily the most important thing. If you think there's a chance the villian will only call(or fold of course) with anything but the super nuts, there's some merit to betting for value with your value hands even if you never bluff in the same spot. It comes up so rarely that I doubt anyone is adjusting to this deviation.

[@sercretu1322]

[@damianociocca91]

Hey Mariano given the action in the hand with Mars on A 7 T dd K K would you really bet pot on the river if you had QJ?

The 6c4c hand surely has to be a check on the river. You mention you're getting value from worse but are you really? Stubborn sets and 2 pair have to fold to any bet.

[@JohnBrown-ss3ch]

11:36 why did the dealer look at your cards?

[@GodseedFDK]

yeah wtf...

[@proditoresmoriendum86]

He was curious 😂

[@kvintxopremium9992]

I think production room told dealer to look what hand he has, coz his cards were not scaned at table, thats why he edited video and put pictures of AK Yeah, and at 15:35 the same situation with no scaned cards.

[@Mirvana]

I think the bet with 64c is also fine since on that board there can be some TXc or JXc hands that, while they also made a flush, aren't quite in love with a 4-flush board either and might fold. Q is probably the lowest club you're getting a call from, and he just happened to have that.

[@pokercurt04]

My only issue is of course the KQ hand against Francisco...the logic of him having J10 with a bet & shove in front of him possibly drawing dead is kinda absurd! His hand is ALWAYS a Q especially when the action is opened back up to Mariano. As good as Mariano is...and I think he's absolutely a crusher...was very surprising to see him butcher that one as bad as he did

[@pokercurt04]

Also in game I could see misplaying a hand...but the analysis after the fact is also brutal..."I didn't think he was strong, he could have a 9" huh??? Bet/shove/call with a 9?!?!?!

I’m the hand against mars when you turned the flush wouldn’t it be much more likely that his had had a club since the king on the board was a spade isn’t king x with the king of clubs a very likely hand ? That’s why I thought that would be a check

[@cubanhack3r]

Fantastic channels hermano! I have a quick suggestion and again im not a pro or ever ever played as big as you have. With that in mind I want to make an observation Mariano and that is "Why do you keep playing and raising those trash hands and keep saying dont do this... then you end up flopping and putting ur self in very difficult spots that you may not have the skilled to maneuver well. Have u analyzed ur play and seen that u put urself quite a bit often on those spots? Just be patient, think well and play good hands. I think that will erase some of the show hands u want to show and make u win more. Bendiciones!

HCL has been doing the right thing since this happened. They hired an independent reviewer / security firm to look for anything. It has already been mentioned that they have a pretty good setup. In the future there should be no devices in the recording room. Once a hand gets played you can’t leave the room for any reason should be implemented. Ie and intercom to the other booth or management will be allowed if that makes sense or for 911. Mariano keep it up your streams are great and sometimes you don’t have it and in those days always try to minimize your losses. Cheers
