Have you not seen his $200,000 downswing in the last two months? “Good” has nothing to do with whether you’re getting hit with the deck, or not.

[@MarianoPoker]

Bad players have good runs, good players have bad runs. I'm not saying I'm either, but judging someone based on a 1000BB swing seems absurd

[@SadCrabMan23]

@@MarianoPoker yes but I think you know what you are doing. I feel like you can teach someone how to play which is a sign of knowledge on the subject. I went back this weekend for the second time to my local poker club and got crushed by a royal flush and quads with the span of 20 minutes.

15:15 your camera picked up on her holdings. She had the 9 of diamonds and Ace of hearts

[@kansascub]

Thanks for keeping it real at the end. Your candor is appreciated even though you don't need to explain anything to us!

[@AcePoker444]

At 15:18 you can see she has a 10 so at absolute best she had two pair, great read and nice play! You’ve been killing it!

[@Mirvana]

That's a 9 (at least the clearly visible one). Pretty sure the other is the Ah, so Ah9d, she folded pair of Aces.

[@omarkhatib8601]

I think its k9 dd or Ah9D

[@eddiejones5207]

looked like ten of diamonds to me

[@Demgar1]

It's not. Pause it and it's clearly the 9d. The other card is a diamond as well, but can't say which.

(15:14) not sure but the glimpse we catch of her cards as she folds suggests you successfully bluffed the Ah 9d (pair of aces).

[@jack42011]

after last month's cash dump, I am really interested in how you go over hands after the session, do you put the situation into a solver, use equilab? how do you plan to prevent such huge losses in the future. I think you are one of the best vlogger players around, you recognize situations incredibly well ( got any tips on that too... Experience is helping, but always on the look out for hints, things to think about..)your level of aggression is great and I am learning to be more comfortable myself, but a player always has to go over the tough spots, the places where maybe a different strategy might yield better results... Just wondering what your process is.

[@billwhite9333]

“Do you have about 30 minutes or so…” I’d have 10 hours if you posted a 9 hour video 😂

Very jealous you get to go to Psycho LV! Not sure how much you're into that kind of music, but there's some great ones I'd recommend trying to catch: Nothing (shoegaze, not really metal but great) Wolves in the Throne Room (Black Metal) Mgla (Black Metal) Gost (heavy electronic with horror influence) Elder (stoner/psych metal) High on Fire (Sludge/Thrash Metal) Monolord (Doom Metal) Hope you hear some great music and play some great poker!

Folks I played poker for Let’s say few yrs but still learning some twists & turns.One thing tho’ I can’t stomach 2 do is betting a big & huge with single best pair like AA’s,KK’s & so on u name it.My AA’s pair cracked down in 15x in one session I played ever happened 2 me applied diferrent strategies,tactics & know how.Unfortunately it didn’t work so my take in playing poker involves luck,good analysis,learned from mistakes,strategies,techniques,quit playing believing it’s not day & know when 2 fold.All of this combination 2 consider won’t cost u so much & not in a deep stack situation.After all poker is a 24 hrs game schedule coz loving so much playing poker adjust urself with d time,luck & right day session 2 play.Good luck 2 all poker players out there.

[@Sam-db4mr]

When you check raise and get raised again - into 2 opponents - Barry’s A3 SHOULD shrivel up. What exactly is he ahead of? Mariano has all the better 2 pairs (A10, AQ) and sets - even if he does block AA and 33. I think his fold was fairly standard - especially considering stack sizes.

[@jdog5589]

Barry also blocks A10 and AQ.

25:00 wait you said you were surprised he didint x/raise you with his 8high flush. Isnt his spot just a call? If he raises with 8high flush he is not getting called by worse or am I missing something? I think his x/raise would be much better with one high card heart like K or A no? I feel like he would be turning his hand into a bluff if he raised the river with that play.

[@MarianoPoker]

He should 100% check-raise any flush, in my opinion

[@wolsh22]

@@MarianoPoker For value I assume then :D. And getting called by what? Sets and AK, KQ with one heart? I understand that it is a good spot to check-raise bluffs and you should have value hands also. The reason why I´m asking you that is if it is not too thin with small flushes. But you are obviously a better player than me so I´m just trying to get some reasoning behind the check-raise with all flushes if you dont mind :).

[@charliecole9529]

@@wolsh22 for value, but also for some balance. If he isn't check raising in that spot with a hand as strong as this then he's almost always only bluffing when he does check/raise (if he ever does at all). And in this specific spot, Mariano holding the Ah blocks a ton of flushes and will be in a spot where he may pay off.
