Playing $50-100 in Las Vegas

[@LiemNguyen-rr2bg]

These videos are so much better than HCL

[@yourrownstoree]

I like HCL 😅

[@pokerbosscycler]

HCL helps my poker game. what not to do .

[@danielortiz8903]

Agree.

[@timsullivan4566]

I would have thought that MOST videos are better than hydrochloric acid (HCL).

[@groundup001]

Are you comparing a video to a livestream?

[@ITube4RealFun]

That KK fold was epic. I dont think i could do that.

[@kyleestrada8534]

I’m not good enough to fold KK in that situation is what I immediately thought to myself lol

[@jacobbennett6493]

4 bet jam on the river is most likely the nuts or second nuts every time. It’s such a strong line especially leading into 2 other players first.

[@Ihave10billionsubs]

Why couldn't you fold it? Guy led for 1200 into 2 other people. Fairly clear he knew he had to bet small to get any value from his quads. Then Mariano raises him and he jams all in. How does he not have quads in that spot? It would make no sense to repop that pot with anything else.

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

He should never have raised on the river with it to begin with. What is he hoping to get value from? look at my comment for a deeper analysis

[@timsullivan4566]

Well I could certainly do that - after all, the guy showed us his Q!

[@kurdtk5093]

Two things that I love. The sunny weather and seeing my boy Mariano win. Today’s a good day.

[@pwl4576]

Mariano, your self-filmed videos are 1000000x more enjoyable than the ones you take from HCL or other pre-recorded feeds. Knowing what other players have in their hands removes the appeal. Keep up the good work.

[@peterlametta9570]

Beautiful session. Been viewing your work since the beginning. Always rooting for you on Hustler Casino.

[@juliushedberg2616]

Your reasoning is amazing, so clean and condensed! That thin value bet with TJo was brilliant. I also agree with these videos being more entertaining than hcl, BUT, I really enjoy hcl videos when the hole cards are edited out. Then your reasoning gets through and we get to sweat your play. Love this vlog!

[@tannerbruchs8489]

L Look lol K

[@pugsnhogz]

KK raise seems like a textbook overplay. Yeah a J could call but how often will that really happen. And how often will you get raised and have to fold? Seems like one of those FPS spots where most vetty pros would just check. Like I bet u Antonius checks here a really high % of the time.

[@Nilz4FR]

Mariano. Played with you so many times 5/10 and didn't even know you have a YT-Channel. Cheers buddy!

[@Ant100Grand1]

Ayyeee that music is a vibe. Good selection

[@pabl1to33]

Can someone explain how putting in 20bbs preflop with the 72 and playing post flop against 2 better hands makes any sense to just win 16bbs additional? Like youre risking potentially 100bbs to wi 16bbs? Great math

[@davemarnell8871]

How many times i have seen quads? When three of the same face-cards are on the board, it increases substantially.

[@nicky_t1468]

Seems you were locked in and reads on point vs last few stream posts you been socializing, drinking, or just plain tired. Good to see you get back to basics and helps when deck is kind too

[@_aa2z]

These videos are so much better Man, U have no idea

[@michaelansari12]

Hi Mariano You were a thinking player even when you made your first vlog. Question: how did you get your training even back in those days. From observing opponents to ranges and blockers and on and on you seemed to have been ahead of the curve even back then. Can you talk about your thoughts about how you approached the game from training stand point? Thx and best of luck

[@edwardkain5006]

Hard to tell is you were really being dealt in or playing tight. Lots of premiums. Nice one!!

[@sbeni2]

What is the intro song on this one?

[@KSechrist]

at around 20 minutes in, you chop with AJ over AK with A555 on board, and you mention you don't get the button/sb bounty, but the next hand you win on button with 72, but the button only has $200 on it. Did you actually win the button/sb bounty? Or was this after a different button/sb bounty win?

[@tglass1919]

I watch these videos and think about how lucky Mariano gets. And then a hand like the KK one happens and I’m reminded how fucking good Mariano is. Ridiculous fold.

[@brokerpoker]

Elite poker video and playing once again Mariano! 🤑

[@aribenscher]

So just curious, does he collect the bounty when you guys chopped with his ace king versus AJ?

[@AlonzoWilliams-rc5qw]

Great music in the intro 👍🏽👍🏽

[@nicholi2789]

I understand why HCL is such a good spot for you especially when you can make popular vlogs out of it as well. But man do I prefer this format so much more

[@PokerMonkey]

Hi Mariano. I live in the Dallas area. Looking forward to meeting you at the Lodge April 23.

[@willpiper3132]

The HCL hate may be a majority but it's not everyone. IK it's closest to where you live, and I don't expect you to travel the world for my enjoyment every week. I already watch HCL, especially if you are there, and watching your breakdown of your hands is just a cherry on top of an already good stream. Peace and love from IL

@Mariano. I hear you saying that 1k flip was a breakeven gamble. How does rake work in a private game in the casino?

@@tommyfu9271 So does that means you pay by the hour or you play a mandatory bomb pot every hour? Thanks for answering.

[@tommyfu9271]

@@willemreker5770 you pay by the half hour on every dealer change. a lot of time games in vegas these days will do a bomp pot or double board bomb pot on the dealer change and take the time out of that. you can never make someone play one so they can sit out and pay their own time (although if it's a private game nobody is going to be sitting out)

[@nikolainovak3237]

@Mariano that small blind bounty game is the best thing ever … hard to convince people to play it

[@noryvitalaaron4109]

Hello Mariano, how are you? Nice pot on those pocket AA. Very nice fold on the pocket KK. That was a good bluff on the 72, no contest 😂😂😂Nice video and a great stream. I'm glad you won on this stream. Take care and be safe always. Peace ✌️

[@ethanl9845]

How in the world do you fold kings full

[@leehjones]

Great stuff as always. I don't know that I could find the KK fold, because I'd think "Well, I certainly can have a queen, so he can't re-raise without the queen." Then I'd think, "I'd never check a queen on the turn, and he knows that, so he knows I don't have a queen, so..." Helluva fold. Also, PSA: at the end, you did an *Omaha* flip. It's not a PLO flip because, well, go get out your dictionary and look up what the "PL" in "PLO" stands for. You're a standard setter in the community, so you can help us correct that insanity. 🥰

[@pabl1to33]

Thats too much thinking, also theres a 3rd player in the pot. Less likely he would go for a bluff as 2 people can have the queen. Also, who tf bet/3bets this board on the river with a bluff? And which bluff do you think he has that he gets to the river with? I can think of 2 hands maybe, and still no ones does that play... So it becomes an easy fold.

[@casperdonze]

21:51 why is that 5000 chip a Bellagio chip and not an Aria one?

[@Andre-ef6iv]

good catch, its same owner, so most likely those 5k chips are interchangeable at both casinos, as the same color would suggest

[@tommyfu9271]

mgm owns both they'll swap them out pretty easy. what's crazy is at resorts world you'll see chips from all different casinos.

[@MarianoPoker]

Yeah people use them interchangeably

[@TJ-ss1up]

The KK fold is a great example of the difference between you and Rampage.

[@michaelzientz3211]

Couple things - I thought you bought in for 20k (2:11 mark of the video)? Also you showed 100k at the end so if you bought in for 50k wouldn't you have netted 50k in winnings?

[@KostasGeorgiou-h5m]

I think a smaller raise with KK on the qqqjx board is sexier exploitively. It will put Jx in a disgusting spot and I don't think you will find in this particular game anyone that would 3bet that river with any bluffs..

[@tomigafu]

I didn't understand the thought process of folding the KJ(s) to a flop of Q73 @13:45. The turn came 7 and he folded while having a flush draw, why? If the other guy hits his set 7 and he rivers a flush, that would've been the best case scenario, no?

[@CherylMillard-f2e]

Lol I thought they were hands all in a row haha I’m like that never happens when I play

[@Rush2112001]

Great stuff, subbed

[@wildjoker7]

River raise with KK was too large imo. I don’t think a jack looks you up there for that price, and a queen (and only a queen) is still going to raise. Sweet spot there is 4800-5200 imo.

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

I think we're lighting money on fire with the KK by raising the river. I don't think it accomplishes anything (especially in a 3 way pot). Can't imagine too many/any players calling a raise with a jack there. 100% "just call" on the river imho.

[@webguy943]

Nah. Thats a standard raise with KK. I would have raised it to 5k tho.

Who's 'we'? It's Mariano not you, lol; you should come down to the Tampa Bay Hard Rock and play your 1/2 game for guaranteed maximum pain.

[@victorfrankenstein50202]

Alright, I gotta question your strategy while you’re holding J-10 offsuit, hit top pair (4-ways), and it gets checked to you (you check), checked to you again (holding top pair still, you check), and you allow an over card to hit the river, and then you bet??? Yes, I know you were lucky enough that no one out drew you, but why the hell would let turn & river fall, when you easily could have been outdrawn, and value-owned yourself???

[@Mesheninseattle2023]

dude you never lost a hand during this session?

[@ID89926]

Please tell us what the others have when they call 🙏🏻🕺🏻

[@danielveloso9998]

Honestly the raise with KK on the river Q was just horrible in my mind unless you are playing against maniacs. Because think about, if both have J there is no way they would ever call a raise there specially for the size you made. So you basically just going way too thin. And the fold at the end to me was right decision and very easy to make btw. Btw love all your videos and your overall play, keep it up my man. 💪🏽

[@tommyfu9271]

it's an easy fold when he gets reraised but he knows his reputation and he's trying to get called by a jack.

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

I agree with this. Especially against two opponents. It's clear that the original bettor has either a FH or quads. He will fold to a raise with a FH, and he will reraise with quads. So there is no value to be had against him. And that's not even considering the second player who could have simply called with quads hoping for an overcall from Mariano.

[@emoneyso]

How is pocket Queens hand a chop? Did he make a mistake in editing?

[@kjr4946]

He gets a full house on the 2nd board, Qs and 2s

[@jsupim1]

lol. On 5 April I played almost the exact same hand as the first one in this video. Stakes 1/2, I think there were some limpers, I raise to 10 or 12, then 4bet to around 100. Same flop action and SPR, same board! On the turn though, I just went all-in and the guy called with AKo, with K-high flush draw. I won both runouts.

[@JamesWilson-sb9iq]

These people are solid players

[@julianhodgson1961]

Great vlog - subscribed:))

[@hugivachit6441]

At lower stakes i think given the action of the kk hand its damn near a snap fold given the action. At low stakes people just arent 4bet jamming the river for a bluff. Arguably that isnt happening in high stakes much either.

[@dacgours55]
