Monster Pots in Arizona | Poker Vlog #48

Hey! My name is Mariano, and this channel was created to share some poker sessions, as well as document the journey of growing a bankroll while attending college.
In this episode, I take a road trip to a popular Arizona poker spot: Talking Stick Resort. They offer lots of games with some pretty deep buy-ins... What could go wrong?
I hope you enjoy the content. Subscribe to see more!
Thank you for watching.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NOMINATION FOR THE POKER VLOGGER OF THE YEAR AWARD! Well deserved for the quality and consistency of your vlogs!

[@bigbiyyy]

yea dude, this content is unbelievably good. things I recognize: 1. good player, thought out explanations, therefore fun to participate with 2. good attitude, very good atmosphere and relaxing just because of that 3. dedication to producing a "travel" vibe with footage inside intros etc which gives it a casual feel watching.

[@Acrylic24]

Hey man, Ricky from Morongo here. Great vlog. You’re getting much more comfortable in front of the camera now and the result is a wonderful finished product. Your sincerity, intellect and humility are your strengths, DONT lose that moving forward. Lots of guys do as they move up in stakes and accumulate years on the felt, becoming jaded and even kind of surly toward others. Great to see you crushing it. Cya soon at the M.

[@chrisbaines5152]

Just keep the content coming. There's no reason this vlog shouldn't have 100K subs and I'm sure if you keep pumping out these high quality videos you'll get there. I only just recently discovered your channel (in my recommendations because I subscribe to Brad and Andrew) and I've been consistently impressed. Production value, clarity of explanations, quality of decisions- all fantastic. Thanks for the content.

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks so much Chris

[@meatman226]

Just watched you play multiple 5 figure pots against Garrett in a vlog you posted yesterday and watched this one from two years ago. It’s pretty amazing how far along you’ve come. Congratulations and thanks for the awesome content.

[@VodinhVlogs]

Good analysis and call with AKdd in that second hand. Well played.

[@LEFTaTIP]

Hey Mariano, I just wanted to stop in and say, your poker game and poker vlogs have really grown. Really getting a lot of information from you on future poker road trips. Keep up the good work.

[@MarianoPoker]

Thank you for the kind words

[@BudToStud]

I really like how you display the hand at the bottom of the screen while explaining your thought process in your videos. High quality stuff. I live out here in Phoenix. Super glad you hit it big this past week! Love how you played the 76s, and KQc, bad ass hands.

[@ryanhinman132]

Mariano, your vlogs are some of the most enjoyable to watch. Congrats on the successful trip!

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks so much Ryan

[@mikethurston8041]

Lol the old guys reaction when you had AK and he claimed to have AJ was priceless 😂😂

[@brandonstufflebean3978]

i dont know whats better, his intros or the actual footage he captures and breaks down.

[@ELKORA2388]

Discovered this vlog December of 2022 and started watching from vlog # 1 I’m excited to watch #48 I live in Arizona originally from California had never played poker just had my first tournament last week and placed 8th 😅thanks for the content Mariano excited to play for the first time at talking stick next week

[@DeanM915]

The beat in the intro and drone footage is sick!

[@kettenbach]

Degentleman shirt is awesome. 👌😀

[@davelabatt891]

I’ve said the SAME thing about Talking Stick for YEARS!! Aggressive loose players all over. Love that casino! Great vid.

[@TheFreedomConversation]

" if he has a flush god bless him, im jamming" hahaha

[@bearcat4512]

That 67ss hand felt like a direct result of listening to a bunch of DGAF pods lol. Good work, digging your content 👍🏻

[@pugsnhogz]

So, he limps, I limp, the flops is ace, queen, six--I have six, seven, of spades--and he bets, uh, small. Okay. And you know, it's Latin night, I've had a couple beers. This guy's been active, you know--? Uh, he just got caught bluffing against the Poster Boy, then he got coolered. Now he's on his third rebuy. So. Do I think he's calling off with one pair, no kicker? I don't. So, I raise. And, he folds. Okay. I mean, it's not a huge pot, but. You know. It's a note. *sip of Arrowhead water*

[@briandever3403]

My fave. Running back thru vids.

[@martinez14146969]

I really love that play with the 67 spades . I have done it plenty of times and usually works 80% of the times except on calling stations . Like you said player dependent. Great analysis overall i enjoy watching your videos! New subscriber here. Good luck and play well.

[@actoo7015008]

I love the loud/busy poker rooms... I think it encourages gambling and bad play... that's why I love planet Hollywood and used to love bally's because they had the room in the middle of slots and table games it was awesome

[@victorfrankenstein50202]

Nice pull on that trip. Liked your reads on most hands. Great job, and thanks for sharing the experience.

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks for the kind words Victor

[@kiaser21]

This is my favorite vlog of yours so far, great work!

[@unvmee2]

Pretty much on point with the Vlog! My favorite casino in AZ. One thing you didn’t mention or show was Top Golf! A very nice bar,, restaurant, and hangout! A golfer’s paradise. During spring training, I believe the SF Giants are Scottrade’s team, which they play nearby. If you’re planning to visit and like baseball, spring training is best time to go. My younger brother lives there, so I go every year. GL

[@MarianoPoker]

Good to know!

[@BigDog-jt7dv]

Glad you like AZ I live here action is very good . I am new too your channel just going back through your old videos really good job !

[@CraigPriestley]

Only recently found your vlogs (suggested after watching The Troopers and Andrew Neeme's). Love the content. Love the hand recaps. Keep up the great work - subscribed.

[@davidcota4978]

Thanks for your vids, I'm learning a lot from you. I basically don't know anything but want to start. When this lockdown ends I'm starting at the Golden Nugget

[@mox542]

I knew it!! I love this place too. So glad you’re in Scottsdale

[@Miguelskytwins]

Nothing better for a monday evening than one of your vlogs!! Congratulations man, you are doing REALLY GOOD!

[@celli2191]

I just come back to this one for the song so peaceful Thankyou.

[@francisfriel1242]

Mariano, I visited this room last summer.totally agree with you. Great poker venue.

[@jonagss]

BRUH THAT QQ FOLD TO THEM ACES...

[@Haanski]

that was sick. loved the 10 10 hand as well even though it kind of played itself. great poker and analysis, i made sure to sub after watching this one!

[@uluvnic]

Yes!!

[@uluvnic]

@@Haanski yes! Agreed! I think I’m always afraid of someone flopping the flush/nuts. I think I’ll be a better player after watching this. His analysis was SPOT ON!

[@bearatts]

You're right! Talking Stick and the arena is my favorite place to play poker

[@coyote71.]

Excellent video , great content and good play . Thank you for sharing and hello from Argentina 🇦🇷 !!!

[@MarianoPoker]

Hello! thank you 👍🏼

[@josephfallon7047]

Mariano, you are very alert.and wait for the winning cards of which you seemed to be getting at the talking sticks casino. Arizona is a great place to be, and that is a long distance from Los Angeles, however a great profit, and a dazzling vlog. Joseph Fallon

[@6figuremisfit593]

Fantastic room. One con you missed though is that a lot of the traffic is seasonal. So summers aren’t great. Fall-Spring is fun though! Especially during spring training and when Barrett Jackson car auction is in town.

[@jaysu4007]

talking stick, here we come.Looking forward to go to US and play poker all around the country.

[@JedmcCj-uq5dw]

I like the channel, you play very different in a lot of spots then me. It’s nice to see a different perspective on situations, most poker channels I watch I learn very little because they play just like me. I’m so glad a fourth diamond didn’t hit, awesome hand.

[@Sebalsekidul]

Vlogs are even getting better

[@sunfarmer1797]

So glad I found your vlog today I'll be out in Arizona this weekend guess I know where I will be playing now , thank you!

[@MarianoPoker]

Good luck!

[@GBpacker420]

[@aa8276]

Nice attention to detail with the Talking Stick logo on the poker graphics.

[@aaronmorgan1772]

[@ccorbin1172]

Kool vlog., Love the drone shots bro.

[@leehjones]

Heh. You flop your set of tens, set up the turn jam, and I'm thinking "Nooooooo! $500 bet cap!". BTW, perfectly played on the video with the "Bonus points" comment. Now I'll go watch the rest. BTW, big congratulations on the nomination as poker vlogger of the year. Highly deserved for your excellent series of "short films".

Super cool.

[@tjbrown-pinizzotto7664]

One of your better videos, good job bro!

[@MegaLBreezy]

Just watched earlier vlogs and you were wanting an ace high calldown back then!

[@Jabbazuki]

I told you!!! I freaking told you Talking Stick is amazing!!! I wish I could've made it to see you that weekend but my daughter got sick and I had to take care of her... Hopefully you come back soon so that I can buy you that drink I've promised you. I'm super stoked you liked it though... it's like that every weekend just so you know lol

[@patrick_kyker]

Awesome shirt in intro.

[@BigSlick40]

I play at this casino whenever I visit AZ. This place is the best!!

[@FollowMeImaFoodieIndia]

Hit me up if you want to know how to muffle that wind a little!! Love the videos!!

[@MrErizid]

You forgot something with your Pocket 10s hand. At Talking Stick, the action is capped at the third raise. So pre-flop, if you had 4-bet it, no one could 5-bet you, the action would be capped. They can only call or fold.

[@MarianoPoker]

Good point

[@ostreds]

@11:47...Mr Information must have folded an Ace/Jack.....nice gesture.

[@jasoncrevison3191]

Nice vlog well put together

[@dennisisaac746]

Your better then other blogs

[@jamesbivens2165]

Mariano what is the name of the music to the opener of this vlog? Thanks and keep up the good work

[@cameronmonce6103]

You should show the process where they give you the cash when you cash out the chips. That’s my favorite part lol it’s satisfying

[@bobsmith3197]

Good effort on going all the way to Arizona for your fans! Apparently good karma followed with your massive wins.

[@Omahasethike]

thx for the AZ shout out

[@CasinoProgressive]

I think the talking stick is in Scottsdale

[@MrHeartbeat28]

Hey next time you visit Arizona go play at wild horse casino..Its my favorite casino to play poker alot of action player..
