[@katien1684]

I've been following your blogs since the beginning..and this one tops the cake.never having played in one prior..u did great.. your presentation is unsurpassed. PLEASE never stop sharing ..yours is the only blog I watch faithfully

[@RampagePoker]

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.

[@yuginohyuginoh9544]

A big thank you, it was a real pleasure. But tournaments are different. You cannot put your entire stack in danger with only one pair. I hope to see you in another tournament soon!

[@doctorbartolo9269]

“Some guy in a suit tells me to put my chips in a bag…” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Juggingtons]

Hey Mariano, big fan of these longer vlogs rather than just going day by day! I like to see a good amount of progress, GOOD LUCK!

[@alanhannigan9944]

Watching you now about 1.5yrs the same time i learned of Texas Hold'em, been fun watching your highs and lows,but you stuck at it, learned from your mistakes,and never let other players push you around, your also a respectful player like the OG's of the game,RIP MR Bronson,and best of Irish luck too you for the future ☘️🇮🇪. 🍀

[@mattsivits9834]

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

[@TheMuriloRosa]

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

[@josephjames5362]

Great video as always, thanks for your efforts on keeping us donkeys entertained.

[@MarianoPoker]

Thanks Joseph

[@thundernuts9283]

Loved that Content..always wanted to play the Main Event and this was a great view into whats involved

[@bayareafamilyhikes6298]

Good sixth sense on the J 9 Hand!! Impressed. I would have value owned myself

[@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!

[@djwebmasster]

I really appreciated your insight into the "feel" of this tournament. Thanks!

[@rtanaka]

Nicely done. Cool to see your progression over the past year+

[@CoachBaileyCooper]

Flopping quads 2xs in the wsop main! Are you kidding me! What a dream!!!!! Best tourney advice given to me a while ago... tight is right! For $10k buy in, them suited connectors and calling 3bets was your weakness. Only adjustment I'd make would be to fold to their 3b and wait for another chance to play tight and aggressive. Your welcome for that unsolicited advice. Lol happy holidays!

[@keithpeavey5242]

Absolutely top notch per usual! Thank you for taking us along for the ride!

[@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.

[@ekw555]

[@Ryanrob444]

Great job Mariano! Love everything about your content! Thanks!

[@biggins5868]

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🤘🏻

[@okiepokertraveler1718]

I've been telling him this for a year. His poker skillz are pretty freaking sharp.

[@bobbysihapanya]

I'm literally at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida in the Guitar Hotel room watching your video. Come here this weekend and play poker. The poker room is nice here.

[@steve007lax]

I have been Waiting for this vlog! Too bad the result couldn't have been better for Mariano. But well done! You gave us the WSOP Main Event experience that we were excited to see you participate in. Side note: This would have been a perfect 100th Vlog. But maybe Mariano can ship a tournament for the 100th. Good Job and Good work!

[@scottmichaelson7378]

Great perspective on playing wsop main event. I guess i will just have to play thru your experience as i don think i will ever pksy myself. Great video, you have the chops to be a good tournament player.

[@muhammadcurtis6759]

I’m clueless when it comes to tournament play especially with the WSOP. I think you did pretty well as a first time entrant into the tournament, and luck was on your side in a few of the hands that you posted. The whole experience looked quite exciting. I wish I was in attendance. Maybe I will sometime in the future. Great work Mariano! You have nothing to feel ashamed about.

[@jmorgs1166]

Great content dawg such good quality !

[@Sportoligy]

Come out to Minnesota December 2-12. It’s the Mid Stakes Poker Tour at Canterbury, should be a good time.

[@rodneydaly2021]

I enjoyed the content Mariano, as always. Thanks for entertaining the ones who aren't able to travel to Vegas yet. Maybe next year? For most people (excluding the likes of Negreanu, Greenstein, Brunson, etc) there is a clear difference between winning at cash games vs tournament games. It is clear you are a cash player, but I love it that you still do a vlog on a tournament just for the entertainment value. You played fairly well over all in my estimate of the hands you showed. A little bit splashy for a tournament, but overall not too bad. Keep up the content.

[@TomMacro]

Awesome 👏 fun, entertaining, education, felt I was as there at the table. Loved all the vids 😍

[@cj7472]

Great video. Lot of fun to see what it is like on the inside. I’m glad you enjoyed your experience. Since you’re not a tournament player would you want to sign up for the main event again? Or was this a one and done?

at min 7:37 when you have nut flush blocker- am I a scared little boy if I think that recs are not folding sets on rivers?

Well played, Mariano. The main event has always kinda been a dream of mine, but man. You really have to run good throughout the whole thing. Seems daunting!

[@markbuonagura2465]

It was pretty cool getting to play with my KZbin heroes at the main event of the World Series of Poker. I was to your direct right at the end of the first day.

[@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.

[@thomasburke1361]

[@lukebanning6941]

How about a meet up at Hard Rock in Tulsa?

[@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.

[@alanhannigan9944]

[@henriqueadam884]

Great video as always! Not that you need or even asked for an advice about tournaments, but I think you've played it as a lot good cash game players would've: great with 100bbs + (cause its your confort zone anyways), and with 50bbs, 40bbs, 30bbs and 15bbs like it is the same 100bbs game, and unfortunatelly it hurts a lot in a tournament, even the ones with that kind of structure. Anyways, it was nice to see you playing it and I hope you have a better run next time. Keep up with the awesome job!

Whew was that a cash game vlog 🐟😅, jk although I don't play tournies either but that was a bit wide for a 10k tournie right?

[@jolaz69]

Overall, I think you played well. One thing about tournaments is those chips are way more valuable than chips in a cash game because you can’t top up. But when you get down to it, it’s still just poker. Tournament grinders are just a different breed.

[@skang3368]

[@metals9372]

[@davethompson3140]

Mariano, When you play more tourney’s you’ll realize there is a lot more B’sing than in a cash game. When you have a good hand or top pair you got to give it the gas. The classic example is when you let your opponent see a free river and he caught his 8 to trip the eights. If you would have put in a healthy bet on the turn he would have folded and you could have scooped that pot. Good 1st big tourney! You

[@AnalyzingLos]

New to poker here, why did you lose the AJ hand to 88's. You had the higher three of a kind? Is it because he had the trips in a pocket pair and you got it on the board? Also same thing happen on Q5 vs 44's? Thanks in advance

[@jarettlewis4]

guy with 88’s has a full house with 8’s and aces, while Mariano just has three of a kind with aces

[@shaughnessykyle]

Villian - 88 has a full house (888AA) Hero - AJ has three of a kind (AAAJ8) Always remember we make the best 5 card hand we can using both, one, or none of our hole cards along with the board.

[@Jogre1337]

Because he only had trip aces, his opponent had a full house eights full of aces.

[@MarianoPoker]

I like the way you think...

[@AnalyzingLos]

Completely flew over my head about the full house potential. Thanks for the reply everybody 👍🏻
