I’m a busy man, so what I appreciate about these videos is that we don’t have to wait to see Rampage trying to punt off his money. He does it right away on the first hand.
I remember watching this whole stream. Wondered how this video would go, since it was one of the most uncomfortable games I’ve seen Rampage play. I genuinely think professional help might be needed before an unrecoverable hole is got into. This is and continues to be genuinely really concerning behaviour. 10 mins in he does say he has a problem, I wish he recognised it. End of video update: Talks a lot of bad luck when losing hands he was ahead, but talks of sucking out hands as if that’s normal and expected. I watched the stream, this was not run bad, it was very clearly a gambling issue.
These cash game guys aren't great players; they just have larger bankrolls than most people do and are connected to companies like PokerStars, Full Tilt, gg, 888, etc.
blew my fucking mind on the first hand, just unbelievable man. All he needs to do is play tighter and not do this dumbass shit he does on the regular and he'd be doing better lmao
The greatest irony is that Rampage calls those of us who are telling him that he needs to go back and study the game, “haters” when in fact we’re the ones actually giving him the most beneficial advice. And his “supporters” telling him to just keep his chin up and stay at it are totally enabling him. Although it’s not really that unusual when someone has an addiction that they turn against those closest to them who are giving them the cold, hard truth (like at an intervention) and instead embrace those who fuel their addiction. It’s just sad that he obviously has no one in his life, poker related or otherwise, to be honest with him about this situation. Or maybe he does but he chooses to not listen to them, just like he labels us as haters. Sadly, some people just need to hit rock bottom before they can turn things around.
I think the bounties got into your head way more than they should have. Yes they're a factor but they're not the ONLY factor. Ripping in 30k to win 2k-6k in bounties is -EV no matter how the hand plays out. Just because someone is "incentivised" to try and win a pot for the bounties doesn't mean they are bluffing with air. Even if they were, what does the all in accomplish? They fold all their bluffs and call when you're dead, just like any other game.
First hand bet 14k with a bad hand to prevent someone from winning 1k that wasn't his money. Then bet 14k to try to win a 1k bounty. First two hands show you arent playing poker. You are gambling for content. You know how to analyze hands and play. Go back to it. Tournament success has killed your cash games with that all in and bully style.
He doesn't know how to analyze hands or play well. He says things like "I have 7 high so I must bluff" despite it being a horrible board and scary action.
@@jonathanerikson8108 what's the source on that? He is a WPT ambassador so most his first buyins in any WPT tourney is comped. He has 2.5-3.5M in tourney earnings. It's hard to imagine he has spent that on buyins in the last couple years
Rampage, what are you doing? There were two over cards and potential straight on the board. Mariano check-raises before your turn to act. He easily telegraphs he has you beat.
really?!?! And he wold not make UA-cam bucks nor get sponsorships and other streams of revenue he's enjoying... you're rather naive as to how the game is played. Tell us all how many international trips you've taken in the alst 6 mo's, how many top level retaurants have you been enjoying in the last 6 mo's... right, none. You seem to think you're so brilliant and know everything... that is called "The Dunning Kruger Effect", read up cupcake
the saga of RampagePoker reads like a Greek tragedy his one great flaw: his love of gambling: is responsible for both his meteoric rise and his eventual downfall
i recommend retiring from poker forever. find a financial advisor, write him a check for every dollar you have, let them manage your money and get a normal job and retire at 40 when your money has quadrupled and then travel. just don't ever touch cards again
He should take this advise!!! Theres just no way he could work 40 hrs a week and get a check for $1,000- $1,500. The money would just be so irrelavant to him. But that time is coming, so he better get used to it.
Winning too much money too quickly is a blessing and a curse. Now the concepts of the mental and tactical game that haven’t been mastered are gonna be very, very expensive lessons.
I mean you people act like mariano isnt capable of bluffs here. The thing is that mariano is definitely going to increase his bluffing frequency in this spot to some degree (not a ton but probably will throw in some extra combos) meanwhile ethan has one of his best possible bluff candidates. I mean as much as people are too scared to pull the trigger, i think this is a really solid play.
Definitely cool to hear about the same hand from the different vloggers... what they were thinking, what they thought the other villain was thinking...
@@thomasmartin5503 c'mon, you be hatin' on him... but he's still playin' nosebleed stakes and makin YT bank. I believe he's thinkin' a lot, even when he punts LOL.
Mucho respect to your creator abilities and marketing as it is top notch. In regards to poker and in all seriousness, you are a complete fish. That you have been profitable at any time, is proof of luck.
If rampage isn’t dumping to Mariano on purpose and chopping up investors money then Mariano seems like a psychopath hunting Ethan and being a fake friend to walk him right off the ledge.
This is sad to watch. Good for you for still being able to even play…. To be honest the fact that you aren’t homeless and have a roof over your head seems like a miracle to me.
Well said. I respect him for being able to even have money anymore at all. But it's sad that he's demonstrating an obvious addiction gone bad. Just blowing exorbitant amounts of money.
Most of us in the chat will never play these stakes and have the opportunities you have. Don’t take them from granted Ethan. Get in the lab and get back to studying. You have to go back to the basics and remember why you enjoyed poker so much. Been a subscriber damn near since the beginning and the feel of your vlogs have changed dramatically. Go back and watch some of your earlier videos and analyze your hunger for wanting to move up in stakes. You aren’t hungry anymore because of all your success. It’s taking a toll on your game. Wishing you the best.
He addresses this in his interview with Nick. He's in it for the content and doesn't "feel" the high anymore. Just clicking away the bankroll. Might be good time to watch YT videos about former poker stars who went bust and ask how they got there and what changes he might consider so he doesn't.
@@ariera9873 I doubt his channel is big enough to bankroll such large punts in a sustained manner. Unless his endorsements are much better than I imagine.
Finally a comment that has value. From a bystanders perspective it sure looks like a break and some lab time would be a good idea. Small stakes, test things, look at stats, work with coaches... He made that million before losing it so he got what it takes, just need to refocus
Feels good to see a pre-game update telling us about your clawing $300K back! I don't see much difference in play style but it's so hard to tell from watching streaming games.
Fair play to Mariano for running that twice. He had the nuts and could have just run it once, but clearly he wanted to give you a shot at splitting the pot. That's a good friend right there!
We can't deny ourselves the truth. The asian heritage is really starting to show through your choices. Might want to try baccarat. Maybe Mikki can coach you. 😂
"i don't run as well as i would really like to" translation: i'm playing terribly, continually getting money in as a massive dog and need to get lucky in most of the spots you just saw

Explain why it is one of the worst hands you have ever seen Mariano is definitely going to bluff more often given the bounty situation so we can expect a few more combos in his bluffing range than normal. Mariano is totally capable. Rampage might have the actual best bluff combo possible. So what is so bad
its funny as hell... you get wildly confused in normal two card poker with standard rules and with all these other variables you just lose your mind to confusion... why do you do this to yourself?
He just never changed gears... "Hey I'm up 35k, maybe i won't flip with AK 3 ways" "Opportunity??!!?" Sure every hand is an opportunity if you stick money in.
Rampage man, I respect you because you’ve at least admitted that you played on variance and luck. I personally think you might wanna just take a break for a little.

Punts 60k to stop Mariano from winning 6k…. Perfect logic. Can’t be playing like this if you’re asking people to stake you.
probably better to let mariano win it, and take it back in a legit hand
at this point any fool staking him deserves to lose his money
And he still didn’t stop him…smh so he took his $60k and won the $6k bounty
Sounds like Rampage and Mariano got a good thing going. Rampage gets backers, then punts it off to Mariano,split profits on a nice vacation. SWEET

that J10 hand is one of the worst played hands ive ver seen, you we were wrong about 6 times!
Explain why it is one of the worst hands you have ever seen
Mariano is definitely going to bluff more often given the bounty situation so we can expect a few more combos in his bluffing range than normal. Mariano is totally capable. Rampage might have the actual best bluff combo possible.
So what is so bad
With all the raises pre-flop, you know someone has straight or even top 2, which means you’re drawing pretty much dead.
