It's Not Always Easy... | Poker Vlog #74

[@radbrogoff1791]

Hey man, I was the guy buying you drinks sitting across from you. Thanks for coming into town and playing in the hardest 5/10 game in the Midwest. BTW, I folded A9 when you had 32s...spidey senses were going off but didn't want to call the inevitable river jam with 2nd pair lol. GGs and good luck out there.

[@MarianoPoker]

Brad! Thanks for the drinks man nice playing with you

[@coreysimmons2374]

Your commentary is comfortable. I really appreciate the calmness you have with your play and presentation. You are one of my favorite KZbinrs. Thank you for sharing a piece of your day. Great luck and skill to you everywhere and every day.

[@nothingleft2lose-]

How can anyone hate on Mariano? He's the most unassuming, nice, chill dude in vloggerdom.

[@cj7472]

Man, your visuals and music make for such an aesthetically appealing video. The vlogs are incredible. I always look forward to seeing you post. Good luck at the tables. Keep up the great work

[@AnyTwoDrew]

Thanks for coming to the city and shining a good light on it! I love the jack

[@jasonnelson5251]

Nice Mariano. Higbee's was the filming location for the department store seen in A Christmas Story.

For real? That location?

I listened to this on my headphones. The ambience is amazing. Whatever you are recording the audio with is bomb...

[@jtome84-91]

After laying down the AA and seeing the bluff, the fold with AK is even more impressive ! Nice work

I really don’t understand who hits the thumbs down on your videos. You’re probably one of the best vloggers making great content right now. F*cling trolls. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey Rampage..

[@PokerPillar]

Although Cleveland is my hometown, I haven't lived there since the 80s. So thanks for all the cool footage. I had no idea Jack casino was in Higbee's.

[@soccrian]

WELCOME TO OHIO, MY GUY! Cleveland is allllllllllright! I live in the outskirts of Toledo - we have a couple options here - and only 45 minutes to Detroit's 3 big rooms!

[@tamoose1]

Dumb question, how do you safely travel with all that $ ? I would assume you have more than one buy in for that game. Do you send the casino cashier check?

[@BB-re6nz]

^^^

[@dawsonje]

For sure.. pre-deposit with the casinos.

[@lisas6056]

It is so amazing to see how far you have come. I have been watching since the beginning. Nice job Mariano!

[@bobsmith3197]

I have stayed at the Cleveland Renaissance downtown like 8 times. I used to go there for work. The rooms r decorated cool and like an old school hotel with high ceilings. Awesome.

[@SkyIrony]

Great video as always Mariano! I would love to play with you in Detroit, but my bankroll is no where near the $5-10 level

[@kellyallen8528]

Dude went to Cleveland, WILLINGLY. It's not like he was forced to go to some in-laws or something but i repeat .. WILLINGLY! One of the craziest things I literally ever heard.

Loving the travel, poker, drone & other footage of the area inside and out having been there a handful of times it makes me want to return - Excellent stuff!!

[@seancain7957]

So upset I was at work that night I was there all the next day. Man I missed out.

Great Video! Living in California, this video made me miss my home town. Glad a VLOGGer came to my home town and experienced it. Thanks for showing a little of Cleveland!

Jack’s in Cleveland?! I just played 2-5 up there last night, how’d you like the poker room?

[@mikespigsty2055]

Made it out alive in Cleveland ? That's a big win. Be careful in Detroit bro. Good luck !

[@kingjames8639]

Unfortunately Cleveland got screwed on the casino deal. The other 3 casinos in Ohio were built outside the city in a brand new building with free parking.

[@codyschott2718]

I have been impatiently waiting for this video.

Holy shit. That's a table I wouldn't sit at until I've worked at my new job at least 3 years, lol.

[@philipchristie563]

1st hand. Do you think a blocker bet on the river might have worked? Lots of hands out there for sure, but he also might have been floating from the button. Just a thought. Curious if you considered it.

Does it feel awkward/weird since you often play at much higher stakes?

[@patrickstroup9347]

Out of all the vlogs and poker videos and stuff that I watch you and the way you do them absolutely amazing wish I would have discovered you a while ago I am a terrible terrible cash game player but I am a phenomenal tournament player I don't know why that is I have dealt this game for 10 years I have played for about 20 years. There's two things that I think might be the reason for that one is I just always run well in tournaments and the second thing that hurts me is I don't seem to be able to make the plays in cash games that I make in tournaments which probably has to do with the fact that I'm not a wealthy person I do have some money but a four or five thousand dollar loss with severely hurt me LOL

[@GotloLuna68]

"So I decided to sit down with $10,000" Hahaha awesome bro. Keep up the great vids...you one the best poker vloggers out there!!!

you are good poker rounders...i study holdem from you everyday.......thanks bro...i am korean from south korea....

[@m.j.hooligan8139]

I'm glad that you found our city enjoyable and you won some money. Personally, I HATE the Jack. I liked it better when it first opened up as a Horseshoe property. I refuse to play there anymore....I'll drive 2 hours to Columbus, Toledo or even to Detroit before playing just 10 miles from my house. (yes... I think it's that bad) I warned you that the action might be lame, and I'm very surprised that they actually opened up a $5 - $10 game. I find it ridiculous that they are making you buy chips on the second floor instead of opening up the cage in the poker room but who am I to complain....Keep up the good work. 😎

Got to meet you in Detroit at the MGM! Very nice guy took a couple minutes to talk it up with me! Looking forward to playing against you someday!

[@donydony1231]

@8:08 you said that you'd have plenty of aces (and even pocket jacks) that you'd check back on the turn with. Although I'm not disagreeing with the fold, I think it's very solid fold, but I doubt you'd have many aces that check back on the turn. To me, it seems much more likely that you'd want to charge draws on the turn with most ace holdings, and having pocket jacks is not even reasonable imo.

[@jt4391]

True, i was thinking the same, although if i was villain here i would turn my medium pockets into a bluff with the same betsize here since u almost never have flush here.
