I tried to watch its terrible tho

So, his girlfriend kicked him out and he's homeless in Reno?
I guess I'll have to waste an hour and a half of my life to see for myself.
Seems really sad. Not that we could help him?

I guess he must have had the typical, low stakes, poker mental illness.
DGWBM, Delusion of greatness whilst basking in mediocrity!
Not that I myself wasn't once infected.I
Eureka, I'm cured!

Hi there! I haven't kicked him out and he's not homeless or broke, We've been together for three years. He's definitely not mediocre, Youtube is just a place for people to share what they want. Big production is not reflective of real life. Sometimes is good to keep the important details private.

he's like a mean zombie Doug Lee.

Hi. I'm honestly glad to hear he's ok.
As I indicated, I haven't been watching his videos lately.

Good luck.

This guy seems very angry at like every poker vlogger because he thinks they all suck at poker and he claims to be some great teacher at poker. But he plays 2/5 and thinks having a college education gives him some sort of ability to teach poker? lol

It sounds like Andrew Neeme took all his money to me. We want a hand history!

Boss...owning brad owen

Lmao this guy.....his exposing Marle video is hilarious with the poor kid trying so hard to explain what a double gutty is that smoke started coming off his head I think

I saw his callout of Haslet House poker. Mark seems like a bad dude. Definitely nothing to play with. **** all dem haters.

BTW, the specific video I watched has been removed. It was titled "Haslet House Poker: Step Up Your Game" and was located at the URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5XVsNNqUFY No clue if Mark removed it or Haslet House had it removed. I'm guessing the former. His previous video blasting Haslet House is still up:

watched most of that video and it is chock full of bad, simple, level 1, 2006-era poker analysis

Are these the people that beat lol-live poker in 2018? Guess I need to leave the house more often.

Made it 6 minutes in.

Seems like a scorned lover to me.

I think he's gay and pissed/jealous at some other guy for something that happened with some other guy.

I don't know how to make this any more politically correct so I'll leave it at that. Watch the video.

The guy seems a little upset he doesn't have many subscribers after 2 years of really trying to put out decent info on low limit live games. A little jealousy going on there. Wish him well though, appreciate what he's doing.

Mark goes hard. Marle, you don't wanna catch these hands!

Normally it would seem absurd to play a Heads Up Challenge at Denny's but not for a real man like Mark Ari. A lot of great knowledge being dropped in this matchup of 2 of the best Live Low Stakes NL HU specialists in the world.

clicked randomly, 13:20 to 14:00 is hilarious. basically says he likes to min bet with nothing so that he can get from his hand for only a min bet, instead of a check

Wow, Mark is offering a $2k challenge! I don't think anyone will have the balls to face him but we'll see!

I'm starting to think that Mark Ari is some evil genius marketing expert.
I think he's finally nearing his hidden goal behind the whole poker video schtick. Poker infamy.

More like nobody is driving to Bakersfield or Primm to play a $2k match.

Funny you say that because I drove nearly twice as far as Vegas to Primm 4+ days a week for several years to play poker. Actually, virtually all the players at my casino drive at least as long as Vegas to Primm anytime they want to play poker.

But yeah, I do understand how devastating it would be for someone to make that long drive of shame back to Vegas with their tail between their legs. You need real balls to challenge Mark Ari.

This guy seems obsessed with bashing other vloggers. What exactly is he saying, that they shouldn't be as popular as they are because their poker skills don't match up?

I don't know if he is bashing them. In a recent vlog he was talking about Andrew Neeme "the prom queenie" (his words, not mine) and he was talking about how Andrew is being taken advantage of by Jason Somerville. He seemed to be genuinely concerned that Andrew was being lured into games he couldn't win by these sharks (Somerville).

Mark went on to talk about how Andrew is a losing 5/T player and a break even 2/5 player and observed how happy Andrew looked booking a win in a smaller game. Mark contends that Andrew would be much happier if he played games he can actually beat like 1/2. That's not bashing whatsoever. Mark seems to have a genuine concern for Andrew Neeme. They must be friends.

No clue about Mark's thoughts on the other vloggers though. I'll need to watch move videos to understand his positions on them.

I think he feels he is an OG like troop but never got the recognition or fame of troop (like it or not troop did for a while have popularity) and sees these new comers coming along riding his coat tails from his 1.9k subscribers and feels like they dont know squat. And lets ppl know about it.

I tried watching a few times, its bearable but not good tbh

"...come to Bakersfield to play ME, stop being a little b***h".

This does not seem a reasonable expectation, that anyone would travel to Bakersfield to play him heads-up, simply because that's where he IS for the next two weeks.

Actually, any offer of a challenge that contains the words "come to Bakersfield" is likely DOA in the marketplace:

"I came here lookin for somethin,, I can't find anywhere else .... tryin' to find me somethin' better, here on the streets of Bakersfield."

I'm actually beginning to suspect he's a somewhat self-aware troll :]


Got to give him props, doesn't even try to get an audience, just posts what he finds amusing even when other people do
