wow pocket fours flops quads, crazy to see that hand win tbh

[@jamesmulrey6061]

Lmao

[@codefiveart]

AND aces to quads too..

[@joshbrigham942]

I just flopped top boat with pocket 9s on a 9 2 2 flop. Betting is mediocre until the river in which i make a bet and i get raised and another guy goes all in. I obviously call this with a boat and lose to pocket 2s. So sick. This was today.

@@MarianoPoker learn how to play them. Most cash only players usually don’t do well at tourneys

[@DonkeyAndy]

@David Thompson very much seen the opposite. Cash players always tend to do relatively well, especially in early stages of tournaments and know how to navigate hands postflop. Tourney players in cash games, on the other hand, tend to do poorly, mainly them thinking their aggressive style can work in cash too. Very rarely do even WSOP winners ever perform well in cash games.

Damn man I wish you would’ve studied a bit on tournaments before this instead of just feeling as if you weren’t gonna make it far😂 You’re a great player so who knows how far you could’ve gone. I will say I think you were a bit loose with some of your opens, and you 3 bet a little too much in some weird spots. Awesome vlog as always🤘🏻

[@righttobeararmsetc.8492]

I see so many people calling ak a preium and truth be i seen it losse more than win

[@Anonkontello]

Agreed. Just fold pre. Any two cards that aren’t a pair suck. Only play aces and kings. Maybe once in a blue moon queens. But never Ace-king or anything below jacks. Just sleep at the poker table and wait for hyper premiums. Don’t play aggressively, have a 1% VPIP, and never EVER tip the dealer. They get paid more than enough. No but seriously if you think Ace King is anything less than a hyper premium, you simply haven’t seen players who play it properly. You can overplay *any* two cards despite them being very good. Ace king is no exception.

[@AlokV]

It's still a dream to play the main event for me!! Thanks for this, you make a lot of people imagine their dream come true!

[@marcuspaxton5427]

For a guy who doesn’t play tournaments, you did well.

[@andrehanderson]

Disagree. I like his vlogs and he seems like a good guy, but he splashes around way too much for tournament poker. He's too used to playing wild cash games.

[@marcuspaxton5427]

Well he made it a lot further than some of the professional tournament players. I would suspect if he studied tournament play, he would do well.

[@andrehanderson]

@@marcuspaxton5427 the amount of time you last in a tournament isn't indicative of skill. Phil Ivey could flop the nut flush and get it in against a beginner with a set and lose his stack by the river through no fault of his own and no skill on the part of the other player. That's the nature of tournaments. Luck is a huge factor. But you can tell Mariano has some leaks from his cash game experience and I'm sure he will work on them and improve if he wants to.

Almost a good comment

[@MAK0517]

Way too loose for Tourney play. But love watching great players playing out of their comfort zone. In cash I would always call the 78s - but in a tourney - with the 13k raise I would have folded in that situation.

[@TheMuriloRosa]

oh thanks god, another one from Mariano. I love it

"but his kicker is a 9 ..." WTF ... this is a penalty!!! Unbelievable in such a tournament !!!

Exactly. I've seen somebody check back the nuts in position (may have misread his hand) in a MSPT event once. He was dealt a one-orbit penalty.

I was looking forward to this blog I was hoping you would play the main…. From my research the first day is the toughest because of the blind levels, you have to be uber patient and a lot of people aren’t used to that and they get chipped down from playing to many hands… Glad to see you made it out of day 1

No studying up against 7000 other players but you don’t want to punt your stack? It sounds like the biggest $10,000 punt ever if you ask me

[@adamvalerino6474]

I would've bet around a 1/3 sizing on the river with 9 7 like 2500 not sure you would've been called though mixing in some checks on that board is fine because the river completed the straight.

[@sinnerglass]

8:16 So you turn trip aces, you made a good check. The 8H on the river. What a fold! I probably would have reraised him! Nice!

[@bearatts]

Wish you would have tightened up after you hit the 100k mark. Anyway, I think for a tournament amateur you did fairly well. I saw an interview with Mike matusow and I think he's on point with it, but he said a lot of players mistakes in the main event is that they should fold most of the spots where they know they're behind, and only have a draw to improve, because the structure moves so slow that you'll almost always find a better spot to put their money in.

[@luisjosehernandezpadilla4023]

Mariano you are great cash player, overall very good but in tourneys you need to tight up your range

[@stanolson6993]

hey Mariano, a little study next year might get you in the money or even final table, :-). Always rooting for you bros!

[@huskypapi5081]

10k gone lol

[@esjhan]

Should have check raised the second hand. You were already caught bluffing on a scare turn card, why not play the same when you actually have it? (Not balanced IMO) also, the 444 on the flop is cause dealer(s) did not shuffle well when you had the quad 4’s.

[@MarianoPoker]

Lmao

[@phongpham6283]

Bro....I think you better with cash game, cause you call every single hands....not with tournament.

[@jimpack4283]

Hi. I’m a regular viewer and fan. But dude. You sorta played bad. You really do play good in cash games, you apply pressure and mix it up well. BUT THIS IS NOT A CASH GAME. You kinda put yourself in this marginal, tough spots. 7,8 suited and 5,6 are just hands you should fold in tournaments. Sure, sometimes maybe if the situation is right….those hands are fine. But chipping up and surviving is the key. Opportunity will present itself later in the tournament that are much much better. You sorta punted that 10k LOL. Don’t get me wrong, this is not personal. I think you are cool and ur videos are very entertaining. But it seems like you didn’t take this one very seriously. But you said from the start it was for fun. So peace and have a good holiday

[@ph34poker]

Brooo not leading with trips on that board. Idk man. A lot of Kx will check back and showdown, as you have a lot of missed flush draws anyways. Easy lead out. Also to lose 20k of 60k stack on 2 hour levels?(on the 1st level?) Pretty donk bro.(I mean if it's a standard hand that's 1 thing. But trying to make a ace fold. On a paired river. Don't love it) It's the main ! Lol the guy check back ace for a lot of reasons. One being its the main! A 7 day tournament. (No rebuy) Can't win the tournament on day 1. But can easily bust. You wanna just get thru the day lol (if you print chips that's great. But more important to not lose a bunch) Maybe I'm a fish just IMO what I think only 3:30 into your vlog lol

[@dianecain1297]

Tournament play is much different ain't it? The biggest mistake I saw you make was when you got up to I think it was $98,000 or something like that. You started playing like you were the tourney leader. Big mistake, what you should've done was protected your stack, play your hands smarter and try too gradually increase the size of your stack, vice trying to increase it all at once and make it to day 3. You bombed way too many mediocre hands when you should've just walked away or neve should've gotten involved with in the first place. But hey live n learn right? You played well for someone who doesn't play in tourneys and lasted longer than what most would've that's fer dang sure. Remember this experience and come back in next year with a much better understanding and maybe get a bit more experience of tourney play to help prepare for next year yes?

[@roguemerlin1969]

You should have done at least a little studying. Several times you three bet when it would have been better to either call or just fold. The middle of a tourny you should be preserving your stack and maybe stealing the blinds at the right time. The World Series Main Event is a tough tourny for your first one. It is very tough to make final table due to the huge size of the field. For my first one, I would have picked one with a smaller buy-in and a smaller field. Glad you did well in the cash games. A lot of cash players go to the WSOP because the cash games are a little softer from all of the weaker players who bust out of the Main early. All in all, you did well though I think you could have made the cash if you had been a little more patient in some spots.
