Dude, I’ve said this to you in private, happy to say it publicly, you are one of the toughest opponents I play against. As always great content. Can’t wait to watch the next cinematic quality Vlog

[@JonQBoy]

MikeX you are one of my favourite Hustler Casino livestream players. I don't think you ever finished your story of your having to take an Uber to LA to get to your own party! I enjoy watching you play!

[@guitarfreak80ftw]

7:15 | I watched that 87hh vs KK hand live and was mesmerized. That might just be normal for you but that’s an example of how you’ve become one of the best cash game players of today. Incredible read and play

[@davidgregory113]

I've been here since his first few hundred subscribers... This man was always destined for these stakes. He thinks on a level no other cash game KZbinr thinks. The insights in each of his videos are incredibly valuable. I hadn't seen this hand live, wish I had to then see this video and hear his "why" and compare it to what I thought of the time! One of his best played hands I've seen!

[@lucasriven2115]

Very good live player He wouldnt beat online 50nl tho

[@lesliehamilton2020]

You're entirely right. You could tell from the early vlogs that he was onto something. Glad he kept the ball rolling.

[@limjarrel]

Agreed, excellent thought process which was well-explained in the vlog as well :)

[@themathemagicchannel]

@@lucasriven2115 who cares when yoy're beating 100/200 live 😂 you can grind 1M hands of 50NL and not even get close to winning one buy in

[@justinspirito4919]

78 hand was really impressive. Putting max pressure playing like 1k BB deep. Awesome to see how far you’ve come.

[@alwaysradical1613]

Came to say the same thing. That play was baller

[@alwaysradical1613]

Oh dang, Mike makes the same play on you with your queens. Ha!

[@TakenGTs]

Yeah that was definitely a strong play

[@nnandrei]

This went from being my favorite vlog because of the drone shots (which I miss) and the music, to you being my favorite player to watch. Mind you, I've been watching poker since 2002, and for me you are up there with Dwan, Gman, Tan Xuan, Elton etc when it comes to entertainment. Absolutely love it. I hope to see you one day playing with the Triton guys, you would fit right in. Good examples why are the 87s and 66 hands. With 87 in that spot a lot of us simpletons would just x/c turn and fold river if missed. Same with 66. But your thought process makes so much sense, it's actually easy when you talk about if, but not everybody has the balls to go for it. 10/10

[@hymnofashes]

I lack the balls, but in addition to that, the guys at my $3/$5 cap game are not going to fold to the turn 3-bet, but I bet they would if they had 50k in front of them instead of 500.

[@stewartwyeth1302]

Your content wether the skills in editing or the production quality has always been great and its been amazing to watch you play and progress. All the best for 2023

[@scottyrabbit]

Your hand reading is amazing. The only vlogger I can still learn from

[@rodgrierson9621]

Love watching and learning with you. You do a great job of mixing your intuition, gto principles, and exploitative adjustments based on population tendencies, individual opponents and game flow. All of it is a treat to watch.

He is just a gerat guy. Honest charakter and chilled dude. Just a guy you wanna hang out with. All the best to u bro

[@JohnLee-hb9ix]

As always, another great video Mariano. Appreciate how you talk through your thought processes and decisions!

[@craigslistology]

best lesson from the video, against strong opponents switching gears with AA and KK to defensive mode is crucial on some turn cards

[@danielscarfo3230]

Been watching your vlogs for over2 and a half yrs now. 7 8 of hearts hand was the most impressive so far 🤘

[@graemekrone6436]

Man, I really, really enjoy your vlogs! Thanks! Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

[@bartsupino813]

Always love camera upgrades can't wait

[@kohray4635]

A big fan of yours from Korea wishes you good luck.

[@Ben-ed6dp]

That 87 hand was so nasty

[@reidblundell8703]

I don't mind the parking lot intros.. kind of his signature to his vids now ; Mariano's channel is a great learning tool

[@lordtyrus1]

Great commentary. I learn so much from watching!

[@shahabshirazi6441]

When you say I could very “easily” have a set on this and that board, it reminds me of all those times when we set mine and miss! ;))) decent start for the year! Keep it up! 😊

[@LarryJuarez]

Thanks Mariano for taking us along for some good poker. I watched the game live on HCL feed, it was cool to watch. I keep chearing for you but I guess you have to loose sometimes. Looking forward to the new quality. Can you share the cost of the new camera? make/model? Thanks, and best of luck on the next game.

[@dacgours55]

Great vlog pal

[@dondre36]

Brahhh 78 suited bluff was sick. Way to read your opponent

[@steved5700]

The way you talk through your thought process is great and I’m sure opens a lot of people’s eyes to different play styles. Love the channel man 👍

[@ericpaul9012]

Lol... I love the 8,7 preflop call... crazy to hit the last 8 in the deck hahaha... poor dude folded pocket snowmen haha

[@jeremecox1]

New vlog, today gonna be a good day.

[@bjbarlowe]

That pocket sixes hand was so interesting. There were two different players who needed a six to make a straight.

[@michadegraaf4570]

That 87s play was pretty sexy

[@BSweetVideos]

Arms are looking nice and big Mariano 💪

[@leehjones]

The 8h7h hand is absolutely above the rim. Beautiful poker.

[@leehjones]

Hey Mariano, great stuff as always. Have you thought about blurring your opponents' hole cards? I ❤️ your analysis, but it's so hard to concentrate on it when I'm staring at their cards. In the days where we couldn't see their cards I learned tons from your analysis of unseen hands.

[@AcePoker444]

78 hand was amazing. Well played my guy

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks!

[@chrisgravely6669]

There are great players that truly understand the game of poker........ and then there's Mariano🐐

[@Willypeaches]

Proud of you Mario

[@tomblount5635]

[@dhnguyen21]

love your videos. It was nice of them to let you sit next to your dad. 😄

That new camera is the shiznits.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WAT MODEL U USE FOR UR GREAT VIDS LOVE UR AREIAL SHOTS

I’m gonna go play some video games… 😂👍 Nice life!

[@xavierharding8938]

God bless you Mariano and your wife and kids and your girlfriend as well. May all your cards be live and your pots be monsters !!!

[@samuelmehzenta390]

This reminds me of the soccer player that accidentally thanked his wife AND girlfriend when he won an award.

[@Supramandon]

I like watching you on HUSTLER! they have great camera and mics. Can't wait to see you and rampage on there together going head to head!

[@jamesguest4741]

[@mylesstowe9867]

Dudes awesome at cards

[@zacharycrisafulli6529]

the 78 hand was wicked haha

[@adrianvalle147]

Hey Mariano, what watch is that?

[@liljo911xxx]

Mariano is a beast..He made that guy fold his poc K's...after dude raise to 13g...sheesh

[@thatguy2408]

New camera? Cool. Where can I buy my 3D glasses?

[@-_-John-_-]

Don't you think that new camera is a bit bulky to be setting up at the table?

[@mrwezbo]

You know when your picture gets put on a wall/door somewhere, you've made it. Well done mate.

[@howard2031]

Alec kicking himself for folding 88 in that 87s hand haha.

[@founik]

He is next level nit :D

[@bretpbullard]

Cranked that quality up to 2k, lets see how this goes!

[@tenthebest1283]

Best man, you are an insperation

[@DStern20]

I commented this on the stream. Do you think that betting turn in the hand with QQ was a mistake. It’s such a good card for him

[@davidcipollone2231]

Hi Mariano! I am an old subscriber who follows your videos. Question: for you, which is the best website to play 🇺🇸 cash poker tables? Thanks!!!

[@dadubliadze5875]

17:46 That checkback was wrong in my opinion, you could have won the pot with value bet ,for instance 20 grand or more

[@dadubliadze5875]

I know that in game all of this are very very difficult and all knowledge is instinct but this is just my oppinion i love u Marianoo❤respect bro

[@user-ls4cp6rq6k]

I agree with you!!!

[@MarianoPoker]

So a 20k value bet meant as a bluff?

[@dadubliadze5875]

Yeah, I mean it would be a good bluff against this type of player

[@BobSchoneman]

What is the new camera?

[@hova1983able]

Tal always looking mad when he’s in a hand 😂

[@kylecorbett864]

Another great video, but I'm left wondering - what video game are you playing? You strike me as an Elden Ring kinda guy.

[@MarianoPoker]

FIFA :)

[@elio-7911]

You’re the man mariano, ur intimidating all players with your aggressive style of play and putting lot of pressure on mediocre holdings even though they’re ahead most of the times P.S: u need a new barber 😁

[@okiepokertraveler1718]

Saw Sammy on the LATB stream. He's a nit. So I would love to have him at my table if I were to ever play that high of a stake.

[@honeriley]

Hmmm... the definition of nit is typically someone who is tight preflop and doesn't put much money into the pot postflop without the nuts. Wouldn't you rather be a nit yourself at a table of whales, donkeys and fish?

[@austinmoore2265]

Anyone know how to watch these streams live? I can’t find a WPT Global app or anything. TIA!!

[@salimajahimha]

Question: when you do your commentary over your videos, are you already aware of your opponent’s holdings?

[@bjrollick5262]

What Torelli didn’t find anyone to Angle?

[@jchvz46]

What camera?!?

[@jamesec1949]

Peace!

[@frankmigliore8505]

Alex the angle shooter !!!!

[@dochmbi]

Careful playing with Alec, he might be hiding some chips...7:10 now it's time to reraise right? you have the range advantage with all the sets and straights. 13:42 I think Mike was telling the truth. He's going for the classic merge aggression play.

[@joshsteele28]

@Mariano what video games do you play?

[@MarianoPoker]

FIFA and Halo

[@phillipr1334]

Way playing soon be in that lambo sooner then later

[@Pinocchiopoker]

you are great

[@wildpleasureswildpleasures2355]

You’re good Mariano.. Yes you could have just folded the J9s pre like anyone in that game would tho by playing it and loosing the minimum thanks to your good turn sizing shows just how good you are… meanwhile someone else just bet folds the flop with top pair gut-shot straight draw on a flush draw board…..(tight) Results don’t show everything

[@Plastik13]

I NEED AN ADVICE. Hi, I just played online poker one on one at Texas Holdem no limit. My opponent was always rising and over rising each time, no matter the cards that he had. Even if I had QQ on pre flop and K 8 8 on the flop, i finished by let go. I began the game with 50 $. I followed 3 times, I won once of those, I let go the rest of time. I finished with 0. What would be your advice before such an agressive player ? Thanks.

[@honeriley]

Your opponent was probably playing well. Heads up play is completely different from e.g. full ring and its good to play aggressively. If you enjoy poker and want to be better, you could watch videos on heads up play, read books, do an online course etc. As for actual play, don't play cash games for a while. You'll likely lose for a long time. Play low stakes heads up sit n go tournaments. You'll lose your money more slowly and have more fun.

[@davida4743]

Link the camera brother.

[@thepoorelephant4978]

"Not a huge pot, but we pick up $5,000... umm ok.

[@sageaces1921]

Mike is a feel player. He check raised bc you took so long to bet.

[@MarianoPoker]

Makes sense

[@pokerstar2926]

Wow dude 8:00 hand was immaculate

[@ismaelgonzalez9515]

Yal was over folding way to much with equity and value hands. You should def attack him aggressively when in pots with him he'll only call with huge draw or close to the nuts

[@i000_]

Pocket 8's, you mad bro? 🤣 You flopped a set. Scared money 💰

@@MarianoPoker haha it's true, but it's just such a seemingly common phrase in these videos.

[@ilovescrubz]

Mariano, I think you’re really cool.

[@cibercafe3052]

I am absorbing everything you say but when I sit down at our home game I hardly ever find a spot to apply my knowledge and when I find a spot to outplay my opponents it doesn't work because they have no idea what a range is :-(

[@waveyswanswann8107]

Should be an easy game then 😅🤣

[@hn396]

If your opponents don't know what a range is, then don't even bother thinking about your own range Still consider your opponent's range of cards, but focus on what you actually have and not what you might have

[@negative2positve380]

@@hn396 solid advice

[@cibercafe3052]

@@hn396 That is what I do, but when you have been called down by third pair a few times one tends to play less hands which leads to other issues.

[@waveyswanswann8107]

If there playing them sort of hands 3rd pair etc… and calling you down with them just play solid hands bet them strong max value them

[@kiettalking]

Alec folds 88? Many hands where he would have made a set. He’s such a knit. Shouldn’t be gambling at the table.

[@talksomenoise7423]

The sad thing is many people watch his content for coaching and he is not a winning player. He is barely above average.

[@ankitpatil3490]

Results orientated much? Are you suggesting cold call a 4bet OOP with 3bettor behind? Okay, good luck.

[@kiettalking]

Mariano is above average cash game player by far. Alec should have called with ten more bigs. He’s sitting with 300 big blinds OOP or not. No guts no glory.
