The Wynn is one of the prettiest properties on the strip. I love the content once again. That hand in which you had pocket kings was a true cooler, but it’s definitely a part of the game of poker. I hate it when fellow poker players take a peak at my hands. I’ve had players tell me before that my cards were exposed, and I always appreciated them giving me the heads up. Great content once again my guy!
As hotels go, it is one of the nicest places to stay. And, if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, I highly recommend Sinatra's for dinner. Don't miss out on the "Sinatra Smash", their signature cocktail. Very nicely done video, Mario. While the poker was not enjoyable for you, it is always entertaining to hear your thought process as you navigate these hands. Best!
I stayed at the Wynn this past New Years and played poker there too. Not as high as you but I did do very well. It’s a nice place for sure. Your only bad hand was the KK against AA. Hope you had fun at the bar afterwards! Great blog
To say the dude at 6:00 who re-popped to $1600 was holding and now playing AA face up would be an understatement. We've all seen it 1000 times. Gotta fold there.
seems silly to think he would ever do that with QQ, and having KK makes AK and KK unlikely. Easy for us to say from the sidelines, but seemed obvious to me before the hand was revealed
The AA backraise vs KK hand, Andrew Neeme had that exact same spot in a 5/10 where he had KK and laid it down. The other guy had AA as well. Mostly in that spot, it's AA. They just call behind a single raise given players behind are active 3-betters.
5:50 I haven't seen what happens yet. But some very good players (e.g. Wynn $5/10 regs) don't have a 3-betting range if they're in early position behind a UTG raiser. That's because it's impossible to find bluff candidates there. The "trapping the squeezer" effect is an added bonus. Man. It's 175 BBs effective, if it were the original 350 BBs, I'd say you have a snap fold. But seriously, with all this action, is this guy doing it with queens? With AK, wouldn't he just rip it in to be sure he sees all the cards? The near-click-back from the early position guy also threatens serious value, and he's still to act behind you. I don't fold KK preflop a lot - I've done it a handful of times in 20 years of playing NLHE. But I think this is a *really* good candidate.
Yeah. Sometimes you just run kings into aces and c'est la vie. But this time you got shown the exit ramp Mariano, and you're maybe the only vlogger who I think has the chops to find it.
Hey buddy , I started playing live full time and was wondering if you could do a video about your yearly profit, maybe some tough months you’ve had dealing with variance and where you started and how you grinded all the way up to high stakes! Love you bro
Hey Mariano thx for your Vlogs. I really enjoy yours and bratts contend. you improve your Game a lot and you are a nice guy. The Quality and Style of your Videos are very proffessionell;) best regards from Switzerland
Wow the building looks so unusual and is stunning as well from the outside as from the inside. This is one of the channels that has quality>quantity and that is what I like. Keep doing it.
Hey Mariano ~ Thanks for all of your videos. Very entertaining, and a pleasure to watch... especially if/ when I can't get away myself. For whatever it's worth, I've been playing semi-pro poker for almost forty years now, {although it was all stud and/ or draw poker on The Strip for the longest time;}, and I think you've got some great instincts. We old- timers used to call it card- sense :) Anyway, just food for thought, but I've seen all manor of behavior re: card play from straight up cheating to angle- shooting, etcetera over the years, and I've never considered it bad to look if/ whenever other players are straight up exposing their hands, brother. Nothing dishonest or dishonorable, I'm saying. Just a bona fide part of the game, whether it's someone flashing their cards (away from the vest) or if maybe they're wearing reflective shades or something. Personally, I would never call attention to the detail any more than I would reveal their own subliminal "tell" to them or let them know when they may have had one too many drinks and they're playing a bit sloppy. (Nor would I hesitate to check raise for the sake of "good manners" or tell them that their girl standing behind them is giving their hand-strength/ weaknesses away in her reactions.) All part of the game... the legitimate side of POKER. In lots of ways, I appreciate seeing people showing kindness to others, but when it comes to exposing a competitor's flaws at a game, well, I'm not THAT merciful, any more than I would be letting him off the hook when I make quads on the river. Not telling you what to do, Mariano. Though I've always reminded myself, that I can always tell him certain things after the game, or even buy them a drink (or throw them cab fare back to their hotel if they need it) if I wish to extend kindness once the game is done. But that's just me ;^) Enjoy your time at the tables and away as well, Mariano. all the best~
Oh, and one other thing... I know you're more of a ca$h player than tournament, but they've got satellites galore at the WSoP, 'round the clock, and there's a lot of quick and relatively easy money just waiting for you there. See ya!
The Vesta shirt! Best coffee in Vegas. Bummed I didn't make it out to ReBar this past Friday. I saw Brad Owen post about it. You guys are the only vloggers I follow and cool to see you in my neighborhood. #DTLV
9:00 You should have bet like 400-600 on the river to more likely get a call or bluff all in by him. betting big on the river is not the solution when you have and don't have the hand. you are over thinking and most players don't keep track of this. if you think he is weak by the way he was playing the hand value bet when you hit your draw(only go all in if you think he has a hand that can call that much) and pull the all in bluff as an option if you miss if you are very sure your opponent is weak or capable of folding an over pair or two pair.
I don't ship the river bluffing in a cash game often, patience brings better opportunities. If you have to ship it, your game needs work on the other streets, or your just beat. Unless you're just in the hand with a nit and catch a hard bluff out, save your chips. Saving losses is the same as gaining chips, it's just harder to realize. Bluff turns, not rivers, but the best strategy in cash, is to put money in when you want called, especially the river, when your risk of a new card is gone. Put money in when you can trust your reads, and trust your hand, gamble cheaply. The river is the only time your hand truly matters, but you can't win them all. Whales and donkeys both love to bluff catch from their pockets, stack size doesn't always matter. Build or control the pot size based on the situations, such as your table position, number of players in hand, villains skill levels, hand strength, and board texture. Stealing with air isn't a winning strategy, if you picked up a solid tell it's different, but generally bluffing, is giving away gifts. I've gone whole sessions without bluffing period, little boring but the drive home is fun. People playing for entertainment don't come to the game to fold. Flop something good in position, assess the hand as you build the pot, the calls are coming every street. Keep the questionable pots small and it doesn't hurt to let them go or lose a showdown. Every car needs brakes, even the hot rods, if you know what I mean.
Great to see another vlog. Keep up the great work I heard a song that I think will perfectly with your b roll footage and intro. It’s called “every night” by zmeyev. It’s the smooth, soulful instrumental that I think you’d enjoy. Love the content and I’m excited for the big 100. Best of luck in the WSOP.
I rarely tell someone I can see their cards. The few times I have I’ve been accused of doing whatever I can to see them. If someone doesn’t protect their cards then I’m just going to use that extra information to my advantage.
and there's hundreds of people better than you and I as well. why does it matter? it doesn't. just like your comment. rampage is a great, friendly guy. so is Mariano, props to them both for hosting meetup games
Keep your chips to the right of your cards and make sure you cards are hidden behind the chips. Your right he should have said something, but a the same time not everyone plays with integrity. Just make sure you do your part and then you won't have to worry about prying eyes. Better luck on the next one.
I would still love a more fulsome discussion about how you built your bankroll, how you have made it through the downswings, etc. Brad and Lex provide a good example of talking about this stuff. Putting aside Brad's certainly massive RUclips income, these guys make clear they are just working guys of average means and backgrounds trying to scrape towards a living at poker. Just curious where you fit with all of this. It's none of our business if you don't want to talk more about it, but it's potentially of value and interest to the viewer and the channel.
Mariano, what respect you are indeed good enough to find a sigh fold with KK after villain 5 bet backraise in that spot. Like, telling yourself this could be hands like QQ or AK is pretty wishful thinking from a non maniac villain. We have all seen this line multiple times, and its AA like 98 out of a 100 times.
Do you seek easy games where your are more likely to find fish aka rec players, seats where there are grinders such as yourself, or whatever is available?
@@MarianoPoker This is a big leak for a professional. Game selection and seat selection are two of the best ways to raise your poker income, and reduce variance. They cost you absolutely nothing, except having to pay attention to who is who and what is what, which you should be doing anyway. It's fine to stay at a very tough table as a learning experience or to establish your place in a pecking order and gain respect from fellow pros. Sometimes that helps your future results against them, sometimes it's a way to get a better idea of where you really stand, sometimes it's just enjoying some tough competition against strong opponents. But it's stupid to not get away from that and just take people's money in a game where you have a much bigger edge. I know pros who spend 25-33% of their time walking around checking out other tables for a better situation. Personally I don't do that, but I can't count the times when I wish I had. Like yourself, I'm a strong enough player that I don't fear even some of the strongest players in the world being at my table, but unless there are also some relative fish there, it's simply not worth slugging it out for too long against players you don't have a significant edge on. At your skill level, your earnings have much more to do with who are the worst players at the table, and how many bad players there are, than who are the strongest players at the table. At a table with 8 great players and 1 terrible player, you get 1/8 of the hourly rate that one terrible player spews, minus some rake. At a table with 6 great players and 3 terrible players, you get 3/6 the hourly rate that one terrible player spews, minus around the same amount of rake. So with 3 bad players instead of 1, you make over 4x as much money per hour. Even if you spend 25% of your playing time walking around looking for better games, that only cuts your hourly rate from 4x down to 3x what it would be at the worse game. If you don't think they competition level is still extremely high between 6 great players at a table with 3 fish, you'd be wrong. Everyone will be working pretty hard to get more than their 1/6th of the dead money. It's tempting to think "almost every game is a good game, I'm always better than someone at the table". Sure, on average you'll win, but whether you can win 125% as much with better game selection, or 400% as much, it's a big part of your bottom line, and a higher win rate makes variance much less of a concern also.
@@MarianoPoker even with that check? That's an impressive trap. I guess only at the table you know how easily it could be for him to rely on someone behind to raise. At most tables I play it's not as common (lower stakes)
Betting 1200 didn’t make sense to me 1 you put yourself at risk for jam but got no value 2 you over bet the pot to a player being very passive 3 if u woulda bet half pot coulda looked like value or a bluff and most likely woulda got paid off Just don’t see the point of putting your stack at risk of your not going to get any value. Remember it’s not how u would look at the bet. It’s how the other player is going to look at the bet
When an opponent smooth calls a bet pre flop/limps then comes over the top to a raise…..it’s always always ALWAYS aces man….sorry to see you get felted bro 😢
It’s an old fashioned approach but that AA trap with perceived aggressive squeeze merchants like you behind it’s the perfect execution by him. Q - if you were 7k deep what would you have done ?
@@bobbycookson4087 if you live in a world where you can never fold KK preflop then what would it take to fold stack wise - as I asked what if he was 500 bb deep ? 1000bb ? 5000bb ? It’s all relevant. So deeper it would have probably become a 5 bet call. And then ? Do you ever fold ?
It was clearly aces People do that shit all the time at very or overly aggressive tables. It was a clear fold Watching Mariano rampage. Brad Owen and a few others I constantly see them putting themselves in bad positions for no reason. And they miss value so often. It’s good for the clog I guess but over all they lose a lot of money.
So sick how he had AA vs your KK...The odds of someone getting AA and another getting KK is like 1 in 1000..Quite unlucky and unfortunate that he LIMPED with AA too. Arrg, that's frustrating as hell.
Against 9 opponents it's about a 5% chance. Also the call of a raise looking for someone to squeeze behind is a good ploy for Aces, a variation of the limp reraise.
@@randoee3854 If you have kings and there are 8 other people at the table, odds that someone else has aces is 5%. But this is a poor way to think about it. What calls then 5bets? I'm thinking only QQ+ AK. And what calls a 6 bet shove on top of that? only KK or AA. Since we have KK he almost certainly has aces. Mariano was being a little too optimistic after the guy called his shove. Not saying he shouldn't have shoved, but when your 6bet shove gets snap called by the guy who 5bet while y'all are playing deep, you gotta think you're probably no good.
certain demographics call or check/re-raise is only 2 hands. aces or kings. given you had kings.... it's like an old school thing from the early days of online poker.
if that opponent in the 78d hand did get a peek, wouldn't he have just flatted on the turn knowing that you would make big bluff on river in likely event that you missed? a bit risky perhaps but he wins much more $$
It depends upon what he had, and whether he just preferred doing it this way to guarantee either the bird in hand, or getting a bunch more money in good. Also, maybe his cards weren't plausible/presentable as a bluff catcher on a river shove, and he didn't want to look like Mike Postle.
Why y’all hating on rampage soooooo hard 😂😂😂he’s getting money and living his life, never seen him get out of character, great sport, I don’t get it lol
Wait, what? You get an invite from Andrew to a hip bar downtown, and all we get is a little blurry shot of the drinks on the table as we fade to black? The vlog is a hair under 15 minutes. What if you added 90 seconds of b-roll at Rebar? Seriously man, I always looked forward to that segment of Andrew's vlogs, where he'd take us somewhere cool post-session, sit with a cold one, and talk about life. If people wanna sign off at that point, their loss, but I'd love that from you. Peace.

Sometimes that helps your future results against them, sometimes it's a way to get a better idea of where you really stand, sometimes it's just enjoying some tough competition against strong opponents. But it's stupid to not get away from that and just take people's money in a game where you have a much bigger edge.
I know pros who spend 25-33% of their time walking around checking out other tables for a better situation. Personally I don't do that, but I can't count the times when I wish I had. Like yourself, I'm a strong enough player that I don't fear even some of the strongest players in the world being at my table, but unless there are also some relative fish there, it's simply not worth slugging it out for too long against players you don't have a significant edge on. At your skill level, your earnings have much more to do with who are the worst players at the table, and how many bad players there are, than who are the strongest players at the table.
At a table with 8 great players and 1 terrible player, you get 1/8 of the hourly rate that one terrible player spews, minus some rake. At a table with 6 great players and 3 terrible players, you get 3/6 the hourly rate that one terrible player spews, minus around the same amount of rake. So with 3 bad players instead of 1, you make over 4x as much money per hour. Even if you spend 25% of your playing time walking around looking for better games, that only cuts your hourly rate from 4x down to 3x what it would be at the worse game.
If you don't think they competition level is still extremely high between 6 great players at a table with 3 fish, you'd be wrong. Everyone will be working pretty hard to get more than their 1/6th of the dead money.
It's tempting to think "almost every game is a good game, I'm always better than someone at the table". Sure, on average you'll win, but whether you can win 125% as much with better game selection, or 400% as much, it's a big part of your bottom line, and a higher win rate makes variance much less of a concern also.
You're missing the bigger picture
It's near impossible to fold kings pre, but if you could ever do it, it would be right here.
Idk. The no raise was too sketchy imo
It’s not impossible for pros to fold kings, it’s just that the pros know it’s -EV to fold kings pre.
Oh chat pros at it again
I almost never agree with chat strat but yeah this comment is what I was thinking after the session. Oh well
@@MarianoPoker even with that check? That's an impressive trap. I guess only at the table you know how easily it could be for him to rely on someone behind to raise. At most tables I play it's not as common (lower stakes)
And rampage says the punt is good
Still thumbs up
Great Vlog
Best vlogs
I’ll fly there and fly back in one day
There’s some videos that pop up and you say I’ll watch it later. Mariano’s ain’t one of them.
u played well dude
Betting 1200 didn’t make sense to me
1 you put yourself at risk for jam but got no value
2 you over bet the pot to a player being very passive
3 if u woulda bet half pot coulda looked like value or a bluff and most likely woulda got paid off
Just don’t see the point of putting your stack at risk of your not going to get any value.
Remember it’s not how u would look at the bet. It’s how the other player is going to look at the bet
Since you’ve been hanging with Rampage you going down bro🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When an opponent smooth calls a bet pre flop/limps then comes over the top to a raise…..it’s always always ALWAYS aces man….sorry to see you get felted bro 😢
$1250 on the river
with kings! Shouldve bet $600 or so he would've called quick imo
Yeah seems like a lot of missed value
Sir bluffem in the house
It’s an old fashioned approach but that AA trap with perceived aggressive squeeze merchants like you behind it’s the perfect execution by him. Q - if you were 7k deep what would you have done ?
Lol perfect execution? Mariano had KK its a classic cooler he could have done just about anything and stacked him.
@@bobbycookson4087 if you live in a world where you can never fold KK preflop then what would it take to fold stack wise - as I asked what if he was 500 bb deep ? 1000bb ? 5000bb ? It’s all relevant. So deeper it would have probably become a 5 bet call. And then ? Do you ever fold ?
@@leebp9106 You shouldn't ask this (high) level of questions in this channel. There are others where you can.
It was clearly aces People do that shit all the time at very or overly aggressive tables. It was a clear fold
Watching Mariano rampage. Brad Owen and a few others I constantly see them putting themselves in bad positions for no reason. And they miss value so often. It’s good for the clog I guess but over all they lose a lot of money.
So sick how he had AA vs your KK...The odds of someone getting AA and another getting KK is like 1 in 1000..Quite unlucky and unfortunate that he LIMPED with AA too. Arrg, that's frustrating as hell.
Against 9 opponents it's about a 5% chance. Also the call of a raise looking for someone to squeeze behind is a good ploy for Aces, a variation of the limp reraise.
@@RandomTask1207 Sorry, what is a 5% chance? I don't follow.
@@randoee3854 If you have kings and there are 8 other people at the table, odds that someone else has aces is 5%. But this is a poor way to think about it. What calls then 5bets? I'm thinking only QQ+ AK. And what calls a 6 bet shove on top of that? only KK or AA. Since we have KK he almost certainly has aces. Mariano was being a little too optimistic after the guy called his shove. Not saying he shouldn't have shoved, but when your 6bet shove gets snap called by the guy who 5bet while y'all are playing deep, you gotta think you're probably no good.
@@randoee3854 If you have KK one of eight other players has AA.
if guy could see ur hand why not jus flat let u bluff river than raise .. or a small raise an try induce 4 bet by u ..
#96✅
certain demographics call or check/re-raise is only 2 hands. aces or kings. given you had kings.... it's like an old school thing from the early days of online poker.
It is illegal for him to see your cards. It's collusion...
Protect your cards (at all times), love
I feel you I try to let people know as well. At the end of the day though as poker players its our responsibility to protect our hole cards
Short session brah
RULE # 1. PROTECT YOUR HAND AT ALL TIME ! PLEASE DON’T BLAME YOUR OPPONENT !! 😢😢😭
I agree but I also think it's good etiquette to let your opponent know if you see their cards
It's Poker Phil! Of course I looked
@@kristoferjacobson8195 Tony …Tony
@@kristoferjacobson8195 You think I'm blind?
if that opponent in the 78d hand did get a peek, wouldn't he have just flatted on the turn knowing that you would make big bluff on river in likely event that you missed? a bit risky perhaps but he wins much more $$
It depends upon what he had, and whether he just preferred doing it this way to guarantee either the bird in hand, or getting a bunch more money in good. Also, maybe his cards weren't plausible/presentable as a bluff catcher on a river shove, and he didn't want to look like Mike Postle.
1200 into 800 with one pair, don't know about that, too thin why not get 300 again and get paid off
Saw u Sunday night at 5/10 Resorts world. Didn’t wait for my name to be called. Too long. Game looked not great !
to me, this is a huge game. i dont know what theyre calling $300 on the turn with and folding the river lol wth
At least you stay in your lane. You have the chops for 5-10, not so sure about those high stakes live streams. Keep grinding. Cant wait for #100.😁
Calling 60 with AA there? What in the world? Yeah anyone would have to pay off that guy with KK
New subscriber godbless
Two pairs
no complaints this time... was ok
Thanks Stewie!
Why y’all hating on rampage soooooo hard 😂😂😂he’s getting money and living his life, never seen him get out of character, great sport, I don’t get it lol
Wait, what? You get an invite from Andrew to a hip bar downtown, and all we get is a little blurry shot of the drinks on the table as we fade to black? The vlog is a hair under 15 minutes. What if you added 90 seconds of b-roll at Rebar? Seriously man, I always looked forward to that segment of Andrew's vlogs, where he'd take us somewhere cool post-session, sit with a cold one, and talk about life. If people wanna sign off at that point, their loss, but I'd love that from you. Peace.
I wanted to enjoy my time instead of filming everything
@@MarianoPoker Ah. +LifeEV - a perfectly valid reason.
fuck yeah!
