Playing a WSOP Tournament | Poker Vlog

[@jayandrews8146]

It was nice playing with you... I had the KQ, don't give up on tournaments, I play both cash and tourneys and there is a pretty significant difference, I put you on a Q in that hand and I think most would get it in on that turn as played, that's why I flatted, definite cooler. The main event is a week away.......you really should fire away in that one, it is one of the softest tourneys in the early stages, gets pretty tough the deeper you get but I think with a little study you would do well. I do like your vlogs, keep up the good work.

[@fyiimsuperawesome]

I keep watching these vlogs because Mariano is so down to Earth. It's refreshing

[@roguemerlin1969]

Generally speaking, you play fewer hands and pick your spots in tournaments. You have to remember that you can't just top off if you make a bad call. Of course, it is much more complicated than that. Early play usually means weaker players, mid play is about building a stack, bubble play is where stack size becomes important, after bubble short stacks will get it in lighter because they are in the money. Down to two, maybe three tables, stack size and icm come into play. Do you fold to the final table, or do you play big pots with shorter stacks? I'm no pro so get some help from someone who is, I would if I were planning to play several MSOP tournaments. Learn the different formats, you might like the 6-max NLH or the full ring Limit Holdem or unlimited re-buy NLH.

@Anon you don’t need to be a pro to give advise, I think it’s great advise imo

[@roguemerlin1969]

@Anon Of course there is always an anonymous troll. I'm not a pro in that I don't play to make my living doing it. I'm 70 years old and have probably been playing poker longer than you have been alive. I do play three or four smaller tournaments a month in Texas. I have done some study and the advice I gave is general and covered in any book or lecture on tournament play. They are generally divided up into early play, middle play, bubble play, big stack/short late play, and final table. I didn't critique any of his hands and I didn't offer any advice on ranges, aggression, or strategies for any of the stages. Instead of trolling me, maybe you could have offered some of your "expert" advice to him.

Thank you for stepping outside of your comfort zone, happy to see you got back the buy in for the tournament and providing great content!!! RUN IT UP!

[@impracticallyperfect8987]

IMO Flatting in between in WSOP events doesn't necessarily mean as much strength as you normally expect, but when it's followed by a check raise jam on the river, it's always effective nuts.

[@martinedwards4522]

dude.. once you run deep in a tourney youll be hooked.... the KQ against your QJ is really brutal 🥲

[@arvia1984]

I loved the friendly rivalry, but what happened to "show one, show all?" I'm surprised no one brought this up at the table. When I play, there's always someone who's like "What did he show?"

[@deiterprussing]

There’s generally more of a “gentleman’s understanding” at the higher stakes.

[@MarianoPoker]

Thankfully, that sort of stuff goes out the window in bigger games

[@natedogs212]

would love to see you play more tournaments

[@margenov]

The QJ hand is a complete cooler, the only way you could lose anything meaningful after the flop is the 1 outer queen, a J on the turn would never be as costly unless the river is again the 1 outer Queen

With the fact being I love tourneys as well as cash I am glad you try some once in a while.

[@bobbypease9722]

The silver lining in the QJ hand is that if that were a cash game you probably would’ve been coolered for 20x the amount of the tournament buy in😂

[@eshootziscrs2868]

That would be the downside. I don't think it happens though. Consider the blinds being played, Mariano isn't playing those blinds cash. If you are significantly deep this doesn't play out this way cash. It's almost a fold in this spot. Ya know what's interesting is how well Mariano tossed his cards the length of the table. Sweet. It would be a sick hand in a deep high stakes game. This buy in a lottery ticket comparatively speaking, we'd love to watch it too. I would, and you brought it up. Coolered for 10-25 bbs deep, sucks in a tourney, it's a blessing in cash.

[@mtnflyer9859]

Too funny! I was just at the Conrad from the 16th thru the 20th. Played there my first night, probably same time you were there. I got wrecked though. Had to head over to the Bellagio the next day to make it back. Great trip!

[@scottmichaelson7378]

Very surprising that you feel so uncomfortable playing tournaments, as you are such a good player and your analysis is so spot on. The saying "stay in your lane" really applies. Great content, thanks 😊

[@jaysu4007]

It takes time and efforts to get deep into the tournouments. Totally different game and dynamic. He will get it done pretty soon if he is into it I guess.

[@sherpa8750]

Cash is king Mariano. Love the content no Mathew what you put out!

[@sargisbaghdasaryan9927]

You’re a deepstack cashgame shark. Which is what tournaments are until you go deep then it’s mostly preserving your stack and putting pressure on the shorties. I think you’d do great at tourneys if you put your mind to it Mariano. It’s been a joy watching you lately. You got hella game my dude, keep it up.

[@geo0rge123]

what a cooler. QJ vs KQ. better luck nxt time bro on your nxt tournament.

[@EricNicciRyann]

Believe it or not we are supposed to lead the Q a lot of we are heads up. If the middle or bottom pair hits in a hand we can lead with the made hand or a flush/straight draw. Multi-way I’m not sure how Pio would move forward but I assume we have lots of leads even now. Cooler city

[@MarianoPoker]

That concept doesn't apply in this hand

move over rampage, mariano is king

[@RomeoX911]

The KQ vs QJ is just a brutal cooler... But, I'll keep this simple... No line of logic or reasoning will make you feel better or worse about how you played the hand. Someone slow played KQ and was rewarded. Doesn't happen often, and the river check meant he was certain you would bet... Which is insane because all of your "likely" hands missed and would usually check back! This time, this player got lucky.

[@erichuston1884]

lucky run out, but the villain played it just how you're supposed to. the alarm bells and concern on the flop min check raise and caller should be pretty obvious one of them has a very strong hand and the other a draw. no shame in folding against opponents who play their cards face up!

[@jerrydavid9267]

Hey Mariano what I said to you when you have only around 1K subscribers you will grow your channel fast and Look at you now more than 103k wow that was only maybe 2 years ago hopefully I will meet you personally and play with you or have a picture together I know someday you’ll win a big tourney that’s again my own prediction cheers 🥂

Not you M, but, do a lot of poker players constantly recheck their hole cards because they simply cannot remember them, or is that just a nervous habit? I actually see this done AFTER the hand is over and they win.
