High Stakes $25-$50-$100 in LA | Poker Vlog

[@cantgetmedown4231]

I've been watching since the beginning and it's absolutely nuts to see how fast you've risen in stakes. All the poker vloggers put out great content but I don't think any of them have grown personally in the game as much as you have in such a short amount of time. Keep it up and so happy you're finding success.

[@bostonthibault4788]

These mainstream poker vloggers have to have people giving them money to play these high stakes games no way they’ve risen in stakes that fast

@@bostonthibault4788 I mean you don’t know that mariano is pretty damn good, and won about 70k+ just this year

[@deinheld4686]

@@bostonthibault4788 i wouldn't say that. I take shots too in the 5/10 game while normally playing 1/3 or 2/2. Mariano normally plays 2/5 i guess, so taking some shots in higher games seems reasonable.

Mariano: “Giving me a straight draw and not much else.” Brad Owen: “We flop a straight draw, back door flush draw, and backdoor trips and two-pair draws.”

[@MissingWilson]

This is actually a very good example of how player styles and the way they view the game / hands can change the action they get or give.

[@markjaeggli5715]

Mariano is actually plus EV in these big games because he has put the time into having balanced ranges and making theoretically correct plays. The only vlogger outside Brad and Andrew I can say that about.

[@FreshFFA]

You gonna disrespect Rampunts like this haha

[@markjaeggli5715]

@@FreshFFA for sure haha. Him choosing to try to bluff the best cash game player on the west coast is case in point. The 45 hand was so completely egregious.

[@roguemerlin1969]

Don't worry too much about the length of your vlogs, your vlogs are always interesting. All the folds during day 2 were good, without being nitty. You could have easily been crushed in any of them. Day three, I know it was a long session and stressful playing on one of their live podcasts at those stakes, but I do wish you could have captured some the after-cast session. Sounded like you ran well and got some action. Keep up the vlogs, always enjoy them.

[@loganjinsa]

Three sessions in one vlog? The absolute goat of poker vlogs!🐐

[@ianshirreffs5604]

Yeah, man, an all-around good session. I like how you always play stress free. It usually takes me about 10 minutes to get in my zone after I feel the table out. I'm not scared money, just shake the dust off. Maybe one day we'll end up on the same table. Thanks for the Vlog.

[@jaycroyle8761]

I do really like your videos, so easy to follow along with your thought process. I'm certain the vlogs from you , Ethan, and Brad have helped my own game. Keep up the great work.

It was a great battle for you and Rampage at the Hustler. I was rooting for you two, but man Rampage really got his but beat down the next day. Garret really got the best of Rampage. Keep those video coming I really enjoy it.

I’m really digging the music you play in the videos. All three videos were pretty entertaining, but the first one held my attention the most especially that first hand in which your straight lost to 6 full of kings.

[@blakestech7393]

most watchable poker vlog out there. nice work, man. question: do you think you're up or down lifetime bluff-catching the river? Put another way, do think your lifetime winrate would be higher if you just folded every bluffcatcher you've ever had on the river?

[@CartanSubalgebra]

What I always wonder for myself. As an Omaha player I have decided to exploitative fold and almost never bluff catch rivers .

[@rhpgsc3729]

This is NOT a knock on other vloggers...but it makes no sense that you have 90k subs and your peers have much greater. It's almost like you are expected to punt off 10s of thousands, play reckless and just post vlogs 1-3 times a day showing the wildest things in order to climb the ranks of "poker vloggers". If someone truly wants well edited, awesome content, thoughtful presentation with something more than "watch me throw money around and see how lucky I can get"....then you are way ahead of the others. You and Jamine are truly the best at presentation quality. I love all the others, but like some others have said, I really enjoy seeing your "short movie" over some of the other vlogs. Frankly, I find myself just skipping to the end of many others at this point just see how insane it got in the end.

[@joyride1598]

Humans thrive on drama, and have become addicted to it. Viewers like seeing Rampage either lose a lot or win a lot with big swings. Why do you think cable news has gotten such big viewership? Americans tune in to news that follows dramatic events like school shootings, the war in Ukraine, the Gabbie Pettito murder. We can't help ourselves. Psych 201

Bankroll management is more important than playing good poker. You'll bounce back.

[@joyride1598]

If you work for a living and play poker on the side for entertainment, or even for some extra money, there is no such thing as a poker fund. Poker bankrolls mean nothing if your primary source of income is outside poker.

[@ETL1151]

@@joyride1598 It's the money I set aside to play poker with. My poker fund. If it gets wrecked then I have to save up again. Pretty simple. Wouldn't call it a bankroll because it isn't my source of income or anything, entertainment only. But it is designated for that.

In regards to frequencies, do you just know you can't bluff all the time, or do you control frequencies by bluffing with certain hands, like nut flush draws, or what? Do you reduce bluffs after getting caught? What is a good way to bluff, but not over bluff.

5:02 funny spot this one. I feel like on this monotone board people will almost always call a raise with the nut flush rather than put in a 3bet on the flop. So when they do actually 3-bet they end up having just the bare A-high flush draw here.
