MULTIPLE $100K POTS!!! (Special Episode) | Poker Vlog

My man just casually putting out the greatest poker vlog ever released.

[@pokerstar2926]

Preach

[@SendItMediaCo]

No lie

[@jeffreyfoster5728]

Got to agree, this was really enjoyable and fun to watch. Usually hate stream voice overs but the addition of outside video and couch session really made it awesome.

[@kflowskates6634]

i Had exact same thoughts, I'm still watching!

[@joellemus8279]

Best vlog ever

[@Drokkers]

man....when your girl asked about your mental state after a tough loss... that got me a little. It's so powerful knowing your partner in life has your back and cares about you first. HUGE PROPS to her.

[@philphil9347]

I thought the same when she talked about the qq vs ak vs ak hand, she actually understands variance. Definitely a keeper!

[@radleypazmino178]

Definitely felt that

[@markusmolnar8701]

Yea she definitely want to make sure the bank is ok 🤣

[@dbjork1980]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@DDpokerr]

This is without a doubt the best poker vlog ever created to date. The format, editing, the behind the scenes, the raw emotion that carries with you all the way to dinner after the loss. This one vlog legit set a precedent for quality. Incredible.

[@leehjones]

The 4-5 minutes around 30:00 is some of the best stuff I've ever seen in a poker vlog, bar none. Those of you that are jumping to the hands, that are playing it at 2x, whatever - you're missing truly compelling human drama. And no, not the guy popping off at In-and-Out. Thank, Mariano, for the transparency and willingness to bare your soul there. And also, huge props to Meghan for the phone support.

[@robertkelly6189]

damn, now I really have to watch it!😄

[@michelepuluti4323]

Great play Mariano. I like this particular format. Good commentary and advice from Garret. As always, the best vlogs on KZbin!

[@chrissternfeld1306]

this just cemented everything we love about you man. you show the good and you aren’t afraid to show us the bad. you’re probably one of the best, if not the best poker vlogger on youtube, and this video definitely felt special. it feels good seeing you grow as a player and as a youtuber at an exponential rate. proud of you mariano keep grinding!

[@ToddDicken73]

This is incredible. Production value thru the roof

[@christiantardieu7561]

Indeed it make the difference. Looks very nice. Although sound quality was not good in comparison of what we are used to

[@recPokerFish]

100% amazing content...a mini live cash poker documentary...wouldn't be surprised if someone like Netflix picks this up and makes it a series...

[@therealoc6374]

Best Vlog you’ve ever done! It felt like a behind the scene documentary of what a poker player goes through. Making that tough call to your significant other and having her support is invaluable. People don’t realize how crappy you feel after a huge loss. The interaction with your buddy added another dimension to the Vlog. Keep grinding and look forward to more of these types of Vlogs! Good luck!

[@MarianoPoker]

Thank you man!

[@pokerstar2926]

💯

[@dl6262]

@MAE98 losing still feels like losing. You're just annoying and lonely

[@Noctis21]

I have to say this has to probably be the best poker vlog I've seen. The depth of emotion expressed in this video was amazing, and it truly shows the "real" moments of your life. Looking forward to similar content in the future Mariano! Props to Joey he did a great job

[@MarianoPoker]

Awesome thanks man!

[@RadarDylan]

I’ve watched the top 4-5 poker bloggers the last three years pretty regularly and Mariano is hands down the best.

[@krisphung88]

Who are the top poker vloggers besides brad and andrew? Maybe rampage?

[@snakevp]

Yup we pretty much can agree on the top three.. I play 2-5 games, winner overall.. Mariano is pretty Solid player, his line and reads is top notch..

this style was phenomenal; feels much more intimate and personable. loved the BTS. you're an inspiration dude, you've paved a clear, documented path for players like me who want to play at stakes that feel larger than life. congratulations on everything you've achieved thus far, for sure my favorite vlogger/player out there. keep going man.

[@havytonaija3127]

The first time of watching a poker vlog and not skipping one bit. 48 minutes of sheer quality. Glad that you won on the last day, a fully deserved outcome!

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks!

[@naverizon123]

As a fan, i always wondered about before and after the games you played. Casual talks about your game with Joey and your gf in the car, brief shots in the restaurants, and an interview with Gman. Bravo! Loved this new take and long one too. Keep up the good work Joey and hope you win all your upcoming Big sessions especially during streams, Mariano.

[@kurtsteven6228]

Shout out to marianos girl knowing poker and checking in on his mental health after a loss!

Really shows that he can vent and she pays attention and knows what’s he’s talking about. She doesn’t have to play but venting does help

[@pokerbenny4983]

I think you just made the new standard for shooting poker vlogs! Having a camera man and doing the whole reality tv vlog is Legit! Great Job man!

[@xedasxedas]

I liked the style. Garret was really serious in his advice. He knows most players don't "make it". He could have went all "believe in youself", or "study the game", etc. But gave a "retreat strategy" kind of advice. Props to him....and to you for getting his number lol (nice of you to include that part).

[@CptUnderDog]

That part of the video is the part 99% of aspiring poker pros need to see.

[@bruceallen9977]

much like trading the stock market - 95% don't make it - that's one very tough gig..

[@sofiacobian8241]

That's what makes Garrett the best. Age wise Mariano is on his way.

[@mrburns805]

@@CptUnderDog I played poker as my sole source of income for about 6 months and it really killed the fun of the game for me. Just knowing that I had to be there to put hours in at the casino changes the dynamic. I decided after that to just play as a hobby and I’ve been enjoying it much more. Even though I make twice as much per hour at the table than I do my regular job lol.

[@bruceallen9977]

@@davezajacjr.5494 it provides a little excitement to poker players that realize they can't be pros ... and to watch the MASSIVE bad beats - just crystalizes the notion that poker is not for the faint of heart.

[@alwaysthelegend9984]

I really enjoyed the production. It makes you stand out from all the other poker vloggers. The quality looked amazing on my OLED TV. The quality is super noticeable, difference is night and day.

[@rubent7248]

Great format, big fan of your game. Keep livin' the dream and climbing the stakes.

[@danny2phatty]

Great, candid, and raw footage. These types of videos are good and important to show as it shows the reality versus glossy, closer-to-perfect footage.

[@pokerstiff]

It must be such a thrill to have your face on a casino marquis with one of your idols like GMAN ș be in a game at the stakes that you are playing for. Something you probably didn't & couldn't imagine when you started your poker journey. That Q/Q hand against 2 A/K offs was brutal. You are so very blessed to have a girlfriend that you can share the highs & especially the lows with. So impressed and happy for you that when you were sharing what happened Megan's response WAS NOT - How much did you lose? How big was the pot? She FIRST asked you - How is your MENTAL State? - Just proving she cares more about you, your journey, your endeavors more than the finance/💵 💵 💵 of it. That's just awesome dude!

[@cuzyvanpumper1703]

This made me like Mariano even more just seems like a genuine guy, and the long videos are great I watch them at work lol

[@DerpingtonPoppy]

Love everything about the vlog. From the good smaller session in the start, to the session you lost the flip and showing all aspects of being down bad (the restaurant running out of food to serve was the stench on the shit), and your genuine happy micro-interactions (you being stoked about getting Garrett's number and the subtly jovial small talk at the cash out counter), the vlog had insane production value and it was made so well, it's almost like watching a movie. Happy for you Mariano, there's something about your vlogs that I can't seem to put into words, but your genuine self, creativity in vlog editing and poker skill is a combination that's really special that always makes me click your videos. I look forward to more!

[@graemekrone6436]

What a great comment!

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks so much for the kind words

[@ashokkamani5114]

This is by far the best video I have seen from any vlogger- really gives it the "short film" vibe. Very much looking forward to the next one!

[@beachfraser3747]

Great job Joey and of course Mariano, always nice to have a super rich Garrett to just throw $50k your way, that wont hurt him a bit, your vlogs are taking on a new dimension, always beautifully edited and serious good and interesting content, regards from the UK Fraser

[@Oscar_AH]

Loved the video. It’s kinda funny to see how things changed. A few months back, Ethan and you were talking about priorities, and for Ethan, number 1 was KZbin and for you not at all. And now you are raising the level and effort on the KZbin game while Ethan is focusing in the competitive side of poker. This IMO says a lot. You both are willing to change direction to what makes you happy at the moment. Kudos for that, and great luck to both of you!

[@brianf7405]

The ending of this video was AWESOME! “I got Garrett’s nummmmber!! Hope he likes noooods!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 PLEASE do more like this, very well done!

[@MartinisGarage]

Been following for a while and lurking haven't left a comment. I have always loved the production quality and value you include with your tasty B-Roll shots. I absolutely loved this format hope to see more of it in the future. Your play is amazing and I always love wathcing your videos as soon as they come out because they are truly my favorite thing on youtube! Keep up the great work man!

[@leehjones]

A Mariano vlog is always an excuse to stop what I'm doing, settle down, and enjoy. I don't get many 45 minute breaks in my day, so thank you! It's an interesting perspective with Joey the cameraman. I'm sure it makes your life easier, but somehow it transforms the vibe. When it was just you out in some Inland Empire desert road, it felt a little more intimate- just you, me, and 100k of your closest friends. The presence of a cameraman (no disrespect to Joey at all) makes it feel like every documentary film I've ever watched. Which is fine, but different. Like I kinda miss the kid looking into the camera and saying "I really have no idea what I'm doing here..." But content and art evolve, and I'm grateful to be on the journey. Even if I miss your hand closing over the camera lens to end a scene.

[@brycecalhoun]

100% disagree, although I respect your opinion. Having the opportunity to participate in the situation with a more relaxed and engaged subject that isn't having to multi-task makes the situation seem more authentic and natural. I'd prefer more in this format.

[@leehjones]

@@brycecalhoun I might have changed my mind after the soliloquy in the car at 30:00. That was so intimate and introspective, and might not have happened without the foil of the cameraman.

[@969kurt]

Don’t need a 45 minute break. Watch the video at 2X speed and you’ll only need 22 mins. Plus, anyone who doesn’t watch poker videos at 2X speed is really wasting their time

[@KEEPlT1K]

Lmaoooo inland empire desert

I get you, but what I found eerie was that he hardly ever looked at the camera lens, rather, at himself in the inverted screen.

Great video. Very healthy mix of hand history and behind the scenes stuff. Covering your emotions and thought process outside the game is highly interesting and I think you should definitely keep going with it.

[@MasterScopesvids]

I think this might be my favorite poker vlog ever. The behind the scenes stuff really helps break up what can be kinda dry material even for us who love the game. Endless hand reviews do get a little monotonous and the thought of you sending GMan nudes made me cry laughing

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks man

[@iketrinh1812]

Love the new format. Feels like a netflix documentary. Phil is a funny guy. Brings in a lot of the human elements to the vlog. The $100 chip and in and out comments were hilarious. But the girlfriend conversation was top notch! She’s definitely a keeper.

[@geoffreybond7447]

Loved the emotions in the video. A whole new feel. Also hearing the support between you and your girlfriend is awesome.

[@johnbecker52]

Loved the episode. You're so easy to root for. Playing against guys like Garret at these stakes takes guts. Love the vlogs from Brad Owens (dude cracks me up) but this might be my favorite poker vlog of all time. Definitely more of this format please.
