yeah the last streams from Lodge have been way better than any HCL stream ever imo

Mariano seems like the realsest most honest and down to earth dude on Hustler. I root for him because I like his style on and off the felt

Great interview! Hope to go to one of the meet up games with my dad soon.

I’ve noticed over the last couple months or so that Mariano is giving too much action and 3-betting pre-flop way too wide. I think he needs to real it back a bit. Airball seems to of altered his game and has actually been playing tighter and winning. He won +330k at the lodge yesterday with the lowest VPIP (19%) at the table. The mega whale Tesla had the highest VPIP (75%) and lost -620k.

Nick your show is becoming poker gossip gold!

Rampage and Mariano are feeling the variance. I can name 500 poker players that were flying high and went broke. Players tend to go to higher and higher stakes until they ruin. A smart player plays the game they can easily beat and stays there.

Unlike the older generation of, Mariano and Rampage likely make a significant income from illegally raked app games ( SplashSquad club GG) which is in part why they are less prone to going broke. Also hustler live is the softest games; you would have to be an idiot to go broke having access to these games.

Great interview! It's intriguing that Mariano doesn't have any backers in these High Stakes formats. Additionally, rather than just poker skill, being a super loose action player is necessary to thrive in the big poker games. Otherwise, you risk not being invited back, which can ultimately devastate your bankroll.

I’m friends with everyone, so not trying to start shit, but G-Man caught a bunch of crap for “manipulating” lineups, yet in this episode, it was revealed that a lot of people are guilty of the same thing…. Selective accusations…..?

It's theoretically possible to be in a downswing for years. That's what variance is. Every hand is independent of the last one in terms of the randomness of the cards.

@@faulrevere8938If something is theoretically possible it means it is possible IN REALITY. And you wouldn't know if it's happened yet because you aren't independently measuring the EV of every single player on the planet. That's the nature of variance and selection bias. It's possible to play by the book and still lose. And every hand is 100% independent from one another. At the end of the day you're playing a game of chance and it's possible to run bad independent of who you are or how well you play hands.

@@rustycolon9368 Nah I mean that's mostly semantics to say that you can witness low probability events nonstop without cluing into something being off. If a poker player is on a downswing that only 1% of players of skill level x are going to experience in a given year, say, they should already be highly suspect of it being a downswing vs bad play. If that same player is on a downswing that only .00001% of players of skill level x experience, the odds are overwhelming that they are NOT the exceptionally unlucky x skilled player; they are simply below skill level x. It is also the case that avoiding plays which result in extreme variance is part of good bankroll management and good play as well; if you choose to grind up $10k at 1/3 over the course of a year and then lose $600k one evening on a Hustler Friday game, yes that could absolutely be a downswing, especially just over the 200 hands or so you play at one night, but that is also extremely bad bankroll management and the sign of a bad poker player even if they were legitimately very unlucky too.

Mariano gives value. The guy is straight up and would be welcome at most tables.

I watch a lot of HCL but I don't remember Andy having any beef with Mariano...

Best interview yet

"We Love and Respect you Nick Vertucchi". Said no one ever.

Mariano is a Big Deal he gets me ro watch the streams great player

I like how everyone ignores app game money

What happened to Ben? I never see him play anymore.

So Airball had beef with Mariano for playing tight and tanking calls. Airball has lost 8 million dollars. Now, Airball plays tight and tanks calls. Mariano is my favorite player and has always been the most fun to watch due to his great play. Vertucci nailed it when he said losing players hate the winning players.

O, I thought Garrett was the Bully of the Hustler live stream??

Someone should stake Mike Postle and get him on Hustler, views through the roof

We should do an update to the interview post airball tanking for 24 minutes with a straight against the literal loosest player in the game right now, the stream almost caught up lol

lol man tbh I rather watch Mariano rather thanAndy any day . He plays the 86o hand so he can get paid off later . Tournament would be a terrible play , but in a Cash game it’s good for balance

Thanks

Looks like the Politics of Poker are taking it's toll... Dude hasn't looked happy for a while. Hope the "fun" of Poker finds it's way back.

Nicks body language to mariano was so passive aggressive when he said, "You can go to the lodge GO, you can go to commerce" (whilst, shaking head no). Speaking to him like he's some sort of handler of his or something. Hes definitely his manipulator for SUREEEEEE

Guest: Nick: That’s nice now I’m going to talk about me

Your a true OG Mariano! Respect! Good luck!

Mariano be like he changed my life what he means ( I need to kiss ass to keep playing in the live game )🤣

We want to see some action players and some pros mix, I personally don’t watch unless Mariano is playing because I enjoy watching pros play over fish. Pros battling is pure poker gold.

i meant The tiger sign on the right is not straight

If he's truly only playing once a week, for a few hours at a time, and feels like he's on a long break even stretch over the last 6 months, I truly feel for him bc this could continue way way longer than is probably imaginable. What do you get per hour in terms of dealt hands on stream? 20? 25? Sessions last for what 8hrs? 6? Even if we're generous and consider post stream play, let's say you get 250 hands a session. A 50k hand break even stretch can take 200 sessions. Playing once a week... that's like almost 4 years worth of the hypothetical graph moving sideways.

I agree with Mariano when he said he would rather watch good poker play than watch some rich people punt their money.

I prefer to watch good poker. It’s fun to see them mix it up and play bad hands, but once the flop comes I want to see them play their game. I think Mariano has a good mixture, so what’s the problem? Because he’s better than most players on the stream? Go study and you can be that too. Letting airball dictate everything is getting old.

I guess snowflake vertucci decided the faint of heart warning at the beginning was hypocritical! Nick is the most easily offended person in poker

Mariano, keep playing smart and win your money. Eventually in a couple of years find an out and move on to other safer business ventures.

Loved this and huge huge fan of Mariano!

Andy is Mariano’s son

That really sucks that Mariano can’t play the way he plays cause if he does airball will black ball him and he can’t win to much cause people get mad it’s not fair I feel for Mariano he’s stuck cause he wants to play but he can’t play the way he plays cause he’s to good

The tiger sign on the left is not straight

I don’t think anyone outside Nick and Ryan should have ANY input on who plays. To be honest, I don’t even think Vertucci should be playing. Nick, you play beyond tight and it’s your own show, that is where the problem lies….But I don’t call the shots, so do what you must….

@TheNickVertucciShow why does Nick Airball have so much perceived power in the stream world? Just because he has a huge trust fund and can afford to light money on fire to be popular, he shouldn’t be allowed to force other people to hate money too.

Luck is running out just like rampage. Most of the players have business or a job.

Pepe is a nit. Leaves early, takes long breaks when he's up. There are a bunch of guys that get away with low vpip. Airball is a knucklehead. Never shuts up. Mariano should keep doing what's he's doing and care less about the Nic types.

Nick is absolutely intolerable. I watched this because of Mariano. 😂

Thanks for saying poker is a lot of luck. There is a misconception if you play good you can grind out a legit living. It's recreational game

If they really want it to be a reality poker show, then get all billionaire players to where the money doesn't matter and they Hustler can be happy with a 45% vpip, just to be on there and have to show action when most of the time you will be card dead, I guess they don't want someone folding for hours but for someone like Mariano and Rampage etc that are trying to make a living, being on that show is probably not the smart move.

game integrity and self exposure to playing on stream keep the player pool from growing. the only edge in the gaming industry is cheating. poker is no different.

Mariano is no way a nit
