My First $25-50 Private Game! | Poker Vlog

[@cadehoulihan5984]

Mariano’s ability to speak out his thoughts in different spots on the turn and river has single handedly increased my game 10 fold

[@brianchassee]

Definitely. I have been a winning player in my small sample size and I attribute some of it to these vids. (although it could just be variance idk)

[@mox542]

"Not taking a $25/50 game too seriously." LOL time to add that to the list of phrases I'll never use! Great video love your commentary. Your ideas on ranges has helped me improve my game a lot.

[@scottmichaelson7378]

You are a tribute to a guy who just keeps working his trade. Amazing how far you've come and how good you are. Cudos, keep up the success.

[@MarianoPoker]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@TheIambogart]

the way u played that K/10 hand was great, those are the spots I still work on, calling down with king high or Ace high, I love your thought process and your ability to pull the trigger and make those type of calls

[@stephenwhitman871]

Very, very nice session my guy! Even playing a little relaxed and loose, having fun which they’re is nothing wrong with that! Your so skilled that even you playing loose is better than not only myself but everyone I’ve ever watch play poker. I’m hoping that 2023 continues to treat you well, in health and in poker!

[@bigxan1902]

Mariano has become my favorite poker content creator overtime

[@hexpest9328]

I enjoy your hand breakdowns, analytical approach and outlook. Thanks for all the great uploads Mariano. May your 2023 continue as it has begun.

[@joeytrimble7198]

Love your videos, man! I don't play anymore, but I used to grind, and I still love the hand analysis--you've got a great attitude and personality--very good for the game.

[@dacgours55]

Probably the vlogger I learn the most from. Appreciate you

[@Southlakesown]

You should watch Phil Galfond

[@leehjones]

Good stuff as always, Mariano. Really enjoy everything you do.

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks Lee!

[@clevermanuever]

Lovely vlog, handsome. Refreshing to have the old style back. Not knowing the opponents cards makes it a neat sweat

[@mikkotakalo2834]

Do you mix ever that river sizing like that first hand 79s or is it always big? Why not like 1250$

[@dochmbi]

2:54 AK would check back turn therefore you don't have it here in your range, right?

[@chunckyfreshnut]

What do you tip in these games? Do people pre tip 100 each person

[@mjmtreeservicemaintenance2940]

Hey Mariano. Just wondering if you ever make it to Atlantic City?

[@zacharyyabko4848]

Love the style of videos that aren’t from streams, more enjoyable in my opinion to sweat it from your perspective and not know the opponent’s hands

[@jamesthorson8135]

Thanks for introducing me to that fun side game with the button/sb!

[@sherrihinkley5807]

Love your content. Keep up the good work. I will keep watching.

First private game...Cool!....the new camera set up....video had an extra shine/polish...Props to you ..Mariano.

[@JianBatra]

Great video, congrats on the success man. Well deserved

[@maxstrus6375]

Mariano! Do you think a raise is a better play than call with K high at 7:10? I had a similar spot this week in my biggest game yet

[@Irka4UDO]

Mariano, how much did you have when you went allin with set of 44 (against J9)

[@helloryantanaka]

Nicely done. Love watching these.

[@Nixan10]

What kind of new camera did you get?

Bro where did you get that funky intro track?!

The "Small Blind Game" is called "Small Blind Progressive Jackpot". It was invented 2017, Vegas WSOP side Cash games. Originally, it was for the Button player only. It was called Button Progressive Jackpot.

[@patriciaroane2677]

Congrats on your first private game. Your content just keeps getting better and better. Take care of yourself

[@troynickels9933]

Love the content. Thanks for posting.

[@joshuastringer9388]

The TT hand at 4:50, is there much value in sizing up vs min raising? I feel like exploitatively, a min click makes a ton of sense when our opponent's range is capped at 2 pairs and possibly sets.

[@maarten2803]

min click is always strength, if the other player has a nutted hand he can liberally 3bet and be confident the minclicker will call. Why? minclicker is leveling himself the opponent might spasm because of the minclick (same theory as in a blockbet)

[@Jacob32905]

It's all the same. I feel like if you're going to min raise that spot for value then you get raised back nothing really changes. You either induced a worse hand to raise back or he's got it. So I don't know why he just decided on a call. Good he did though.

[@Jacob32905]

Like , if the guy doesn't just have the nuts then a minish raise may be the only way to get paid. If he went for a big sizing then he has less of a chance with getting heroed by worse hands. I mean I guess it depends on the opponent but in general.

[@otochkhartishvili4484]

Good stuff Man !

[@Platipus725]

Already liked the video before the intro was over.

[@gavinslivin5243]

that nice intro music and b roll shots is just like a calling to smoke a bowl

Best way to play PLO Double Boards is to fold pre

[@RR-kx3fe]

opening track?

[@pelstatepicks]

Blazing up in the intro 💨

[@SmappleMcWingers]

On the sb game hand: Don't think you ever play middling value as a check on turn, as you're full of it so often when you're betting. He's always calling with a speculative hand like he probably has. So, a hand like this that backed into a pair may just look you up on river. I'm not saying it's always a bet, but it was an option you didn't seem to consider 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, with all these shenanigans, can't wait until the day when you discover the actual most fun way to play poker: mixed games!

[@nathanusher3253]

Video quality looks great

[@iliemircea6068]

camera quality is really good nothing to complain 🎉🎉

[@1marynewton]

Love your channel but if you want feedback on the new camera could have been lighting but less quality.

[@healthyfood661]

The new cam is awesome, I could count your facial hairs if I want.

[@ricevw]

I think adjusting the camera after pushing him all in at 10:45 is a tell you have a hand and want to make sure you capture it

[@Goofyahhperson64]

HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN UR CHANNEL BEFORE

[@egone61]

I know you couldn't wait to take those opening shots with that new camera!

[@christopherton]

K10 vs J9 ? Serious. Is this filmed in a studio ?

[@LarryJuarez]

Wow! Amazing last hand! I would have no doubt folded that from the beggining. I wish I was back in Cali and able to play here. Perhaps, one day. Great video, and good quality! Thanks. I concur with the comment below (my game only increased a little bit), thanks for your help.

Why can’t they have a flush at 14:00?

Just didn't think he would play a flush like that idk

[@nicolasmarapinela6924]

[@mrwezbo]

Not sure what I expected, but seeing the button with all those chips in the last hand made me laugh

[@damonthomas2975]

Mariano is obviously knowledgeable but some areas he really shows some inexperience or perhaps just subpar logic. I mean the first hand he called a check raise on backdoor possibilities. And then after that his bluff sizing was small on the turn, the only way to possibly save it was to shove the river or bet to represent a full house. His sizing called him out though. A full house on that board isn't betting an amount that is asking for the other player to fold, the bluff was just telegraphed there. Again he's obviously pretty knowledgeable of the game but you would almost never see a blunder like that on Brad's channel. All respect though!

[@MarianoPoker]

Some good points. Thank you

Great vlog. You played hands that I would not. Lol that's why Pro's win!!

[@3betmonkey]

Once again kindly asking that you add at least one playlist of all your vlogs to the channel. People can make individual playlists of channels, but if the channel creator makes a playlist it is much easier for viewers on different platforms to easily consume your content in mass. I watch a lot on the roku/fire stick and youtube channels with playlists are SO much easier to navigate and an overall better user experience. If a viewer wants to watch all of your vlogs in order, a play list makes it so easy. If someone wants to binge your vlogs and just put it on shuffle while they listen in the background and clean their house, a playlist makes that possible. A playlist will take you literally less than 2 minutes to make, is 2 clicks when you make a new video, and will improve your viewer experience greatly. Rampage, Neeme, Owen, etc all have playlists. Thanks again for the great content.

[@drewchan338]

Runner, runner flush draw!

[@MarianoPoker]

Always nice!

[@digitaldozer]

9s running it only once there seems insane, no? Like, when you have 9s and get called on JT6 after you shove for nearly pot, how do you think you're ahead here often enough to only go once? When you get called you're so often behind that "confidently" running it once is just asking for variance to beat the hell out of you. Run it twice and hope to chop. Best that happens with once is you're ahead of some flush/straight combo that misses, which is still a terrible situation to put 9s in. gg

[@kevma107]

I think showing 'some' player interaction would make it better.

[@wildpleasureswildpleasures2355]

I like how you keep mentioning you’re not playing your A game cause you know that the most logical approach for someone would be not to play with your smart brain😂😂
