Your approach to winning, and especially losing, is so refreshing. Love the attitude! This is why, in my opinion, you will continue to be a winning player.

Another excellent video. Good Job. Sorry about the loss. It happens.

[@MsTj2cool]

Wow! I’ve been watching you since the beginning. This Vlog has been 1 of my favorites. You’ve made best lay-downs I’ve seen in years personally. I would have lost a lot of $$$ by not folding your top pair of Kk and pocket QQ. Also, not going all-in on the 2 pairs vs AAA, flush over flush…. You’ve made amazing folds, calls, and raises. I have a new respect for you my friend. Your thought processes and detailed explanations were absolutely mind boggling. I am learning so much from you. You’ve just became my all times favorite. I went to the Hustler sometimes just because you’re there playing bro. I wish you the best in your career and stay positive.

[@tomf5823]

the qq fold wasn't that hard this deep against a guy scared of his own shadow. it's just annoying to have to make it.

[@seththomas8966]

love seeing how positive your viewers are. well deserved ofc but it’s refreshing to see a nice community of fans.

[@williamreynolds4078]

Seriously refreshing to see a humble poker player show their losses, and explain both their thought processes, and the mistakes versus what would theoretically be best play from a calculated GTO. Especially since none is able to play optimally in every hand, I think it's important for new players to see that losing is a big part of playing, but you don't give up long term, you play, learn, and walk away at the end of the session no matter the results. Though wins do come with bigger smiles normally lol😂

[@calighis]

I'm convinced there is such a thing as optimal live stream play and that you've developed a theory of change for the game in these circumstances. It's probably (on balance) a question of what hands would be entertaining for streaming weighed against risk/reward and some other factors. I'd actually love to hear open convo about this subject if it doesn't mean giving up trade secrets.

[@ambientexpanse]

C o n v e r s a t i o n ✨️

[@jimmymac4016]

Good point

[@sd_pjwal]

I think that's a fair point as well. It may (and probably is) be production/broadcast bias, but it seems a lot of the high variance decisions or unbalanced decisions like, "most of the time I should be folding this but EVERY NOW AND THEN you want to raise." And we always see the decision that is supposed to be made maybe 10% of the time and it feels like it's being made all the time when there is an actual balance that is being called for. Is the proper balance actually there? Do we just see the extreme situations, etc.?

[@m4tt5678]

​@sd_pjwal the 90% he folds just don't make the vlog because no one wants to see a pre-flop fold. (Whether it actually I'd 90% folds still up for debate I guess)

[@ambientexpanse]

@@m4tt5678 I agree 👍

[@bobbypease9722]

The first two hands it seems like Hoodie is doing his best NOT to get value out of you LOL

[@peteratgoogle2241]

Mariano, you have become one of my favorite players to watch, maybe top 10. Considering that you were playing 1-3 not too long ago (I heard), I think you are doing just fine right now. Good job!

[@timothysullivan1669]

Loved recording it from the gym, it’s such a relatable feeling to just decide to go put your body in physical pain to block out the mental/emotional stuff. Keep your head up and you’ll get it back. Great stuff as always!

[@pokerboy72]

I think he recorded only the intro and summary at gym. Rest he would have recorded at his studio room only.

[@daddyyu-gi-oh4330]

That K8 fold in the first hand is great skill, surprised you laid that down of all people considering how loosely you can sometimes call Well played

[@matthewsilva5598]

Your an awesome guy and a great poker player. You handled it like a champ. Like you said just focus on your game and keep trying to get better

[@itselmar4927]

One opinion or advice I wanted to give you as one of your follower ...you should think twice and play smart when your playing with the house meaning the owner of the house no matter how good you are you'll never gonna beat the house So better do not collide with Ryan or Nick From in-house technical team somewhere can send signal to a dealer then from a dealer to the owner come on no one can snap call that quick hands of AK with that huge amount..anyway it's free to speculate but just focus to the and that opponent if it is Ryan or Nick

[@itselmar4927]

Just focus the way Ryan plays he was so sure he is gonna win 🤣 and pay the debt Of his sister he needs to milk you I got nothing against Mr Ryan Feldman he is a nice guy but he still have control as an owner I humbly suggested he shouldn't be playing at all just to save the pride and security

[@itselmar4927]

The signal of the dealer can come from his finger or hand gesture remember that Mariano be careful of them play with cautious 💪

[@blue4life175]

It happens to all of us. Keep your head up! 👊

[@justiceforall3973]

Never happened to me… 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh wait! that’s bc I don’t have $250k to lose…. 😂😂😂😂

[@brettmasonmedia]

I’ve never seen any other vlogger who put opponents on A5 suited as much as you. Fun fact. Most players aren’t being aggro with A5 suited. I know it’s the darling of the pro poker world the last couple of years. But they don’t got it. Hardly if ever.

[@vlada_janjanin]

True, it's always the A4s...

[@scbluesman13]

That 10-9 Suited hand is very indicative of what good players do when they are starting to tilt. They get impatient, stubborn, and are getting impacted by blind spots that are appearing in their play sight. We've all been there. It's a tough spot, but that voice in your head that told you to fold that hand pre... that's the voice that you always have to listen to, ego be damned.

[@TpakTOP28]

i used to learn english for few years at school. but after i didn't have any practice, so i guess i forgot it. now am watching every short film by Mariano and understand every word, but also can write this comment without google translator. i am fishy tournament player, but now i have one wish - to try offline cash to realise did i teach something from viewing this lessons. Mariano, smile. you're massive

[@tienphuongdang3794]

Ryan is going after you, everytime when i see you playing with Ryan...he's on position next to you. He takes the advantage against the most aggressiv player...next time you'll win ❤

[@urassisdragon]

Didn’t think about that but yes this is correct. I would not let him sit to your left on future streams. It’s like taking the high ground. I have been annihilated even when I know that’s what an opponent is doing.

[@VenturinoHD]

[@cerongaming8231]

Feels like you played well and ran bad. Some nice laydowns and a few coolers. You play a high variance style so this is to be expected.

[@patrickwirth5662]

I loved that you showed players and their occupations, I always wondered what people did to play that much money.

[@JaxzyPoker]

Can someone tell me the name of the beat on 1:06. Its really fire!

[@ambientexpanse]

Shazam!

[@pnzrldr]

Unfortunate reality, that I get frustrated about too. Aggro players MUST sustain a table image that injects doubt, in order to run believable bluffs. This means actually showing down some winning hands. I have bled and bled at a table, and known that if I had flipped over a winning set at some point, I could push 'that guy' off of top pair. But if I've folded every preflop and mucked every hand, bled off chips, missed too many draws.... I actually have to hit something before I can push successfully again, or else that schmuck will call me down with pocket deuces. I have, obviously, never played at these stakes or skill levels, but it sure looks the same from here. How else does someone call off three streets of value and half a deep stack with A high?

[@D-May23]

Mariano you are the best and I have been watching you since Day 1. Please never stop making videos!🤘🏼🔥

[@theawfulgambler]

You’re wrong about us not wanting to hear you “yapping” as you put it, especially on live streamed reviews. ❤

Cooler against Aces.. oooof. Still, you've been on the other end of these, so I guess the universe is searching for balance! You're incredibly gifted, though, I'm sure you'll be back in the green soon.

Having watched you for a while during your amazing run I just wanted to compliment you immensely for the self awareness to understand regression to the mean as a part of the game and be totally humble and respectful in a brutal difficult session. Much respect & enjoy that physical training.

[@mjrich621]

Sometimes your the bug and sometimes your the windshield. Great content Mariano.

[@ProgramadorSagaz]

Lol what a station from Ryan on that last hand. Doesn’t matter how aggressive he thinks you are, AKo is just a fold, if not on the turn, definitely on the river.

[@MarianoPoker]

Agreed but he's the one with the chips so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rickcox9043]

We love the conversation!

[@urassisdragon]

I think you played remarkably well even considering the loss. I think the final hand I think you had some stress from the night and Ryan had a good read on you otherwise would think he would have folded there. There were very trick decision points here and for sure did better than most of us with your decisions.

[@karlferguson]

Wow. You still played well brah. Those first two hands though were epic. Amazing folds!

[@lemonade8903]

Nice fold with the QQ pre vs hoodies KK all in. Would you also fold if you had KK instead in this spot?

[@stevenchacko1050]

no he would not. W QQ you pray he has AK facing 5 bet jam playing deep and its not likely this deep against a guy who does not have a 5 bet bluff range. W KK, he has value 5 bet jams that you beat ex. AKs QQ. you cannot fold.

[@Alexandertygreat]

You were playing so well early, personally i hate to compound errors and that 109s hand was trying to hard to be folded. That hoodie guy must hate money, he is literally your gimp.

[@DragonRollYumYum]

You will bounce back higher, no doubt.

[@tarimowni]

What watch is that you are wearing mate? Can’t really see.

[@mikemckeon8976]

The last hand was the most burial, since he either had a read, or just didn't believe what you where selling, hero call with no pair😮. We all have had it happen to us, but most of us can not imagine the effects at these stakes,! I ran into 2 coolers within 3 hands, nut straight on turn loosing to flush on the river, then nut flush on turn vs villain boating on river 😢. Reloaded, and was able grind back for only a $40 loss on the session, so I count that as a win on ability. Next session was $550 win, both at $1/3, that session had 2 players just running bad, both had bought in, and reloaded for $1200 total each, so the table had action. Most of us can only dream of being able to play at these stakes, and with the way your year has been going, this is only a big speed hump that might require a wheel alignment to get you running straight again, and be able to dodge the potholes.

That call with Ace high was insane

[@ptraides8223]

Hey Mariano, not trying to be Monday morning quarterback, but I know you take advice and criticism on the chin. Your sizing on the river for the last hand does not exist. You’re either supposed to go 3/4 or check since your range is so capped. Going block, half, or overbet in that spot reps nothing. You probably thought about it and concluded that 3/4 or check was the correct sizing for you range there after the fact, but I just wanted to tell you in case you missed it. Unfortunate stream, you’ll win it back plus more though

[@osburnnick9]

Hoodie should probably go back to more realistic stakes for him…some of his folds were hilarious. Almost like he is playing scared money. Good content Mariano, don’t blame you for making that call on the 10 9d hand, I feel like a lot of the time he would have AK there.

[@jamesosullivan7969]

As you said, brutal, but not like you punted it away, just on the wrong end of a sick spot with 2p v set and a great call with A high. They are what made you the winner you are and will be again. Chin up and smash those weights!

[@Alpha72989]

Easy cold call from Ryan bc mike X raised then you raises so all he has to do is let mike raise you again potentially. When mike raised and you called and Ryan raises I’m thinking he’s got minimum KK or AA. It obvious he’s not afraid of both of your hands. When I see that ACE on the flip even tho I have 2 pair I’m gonna thinking I’m behind. I’m checking down and folding to huge bets.

[@mimoleclair9824]

Could someone link which hustler casino live stream he’s talking about?

[@Brianbo4]

I saw this live bro I’m sorry, I know you’ve had huge up swings and have come such a long ways. I thought you were acting a little too tilted for a professional, HOWEVER, dude I get it, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I play MUCH lower stakes. So nobody here can talk about how they understand what you were going through because we’re all scrubs and can’t. You were in very unlucky spots and I think you actually played well, not that I’m an expert. You have great content and you’re a great player, just unfortunate run.
