Your right on how hard it is to do this. there are 2 sayings that come to mind.
Nothing is ever free in life.
You have to work to be successful in this world.

I will give mark his due in that he is even putting himself out there on youtube. Which is more than i am doing. I revived this thread only after seeing his most recent stuff and i am wondering what direction he is trying to move towards? It seems that instead of the good stuff he started with a few years ago now all it seems he does is complain about another vlogger and a lady that may or may not even be his girlfriend.

So I watched a few Videos, most recent are rants about Neem(e) and those guys, looks like pure jealousy and depression because he did not skyrocket like them.
Then yesterdays video was ****ing weird. It was a DIA show of his girlfriend (maybe ex), where the first few pictures were of her in lingerie, then a photo of him grabbing her ass and suddenly normal vacation pics. Description thanking her for wonderful 3 years. Kinda of disturbing and not appropiate I guess.

Vlogger Land has turned into Depression Land

Brad Owen on a 10k downswing at 2-5 No Limit live cash games.

Jeff Boski, well, just check out his Hendon for the year and make sure to super impose on to his results what his costs (buy ins, makeups, etc.) must be.

Andrew Neeme on burnout mode.

Trooper in a state of depression.

Mark Ari also in depression.

Poker Priest on a massive downswing.

Marle is doing fine, though... with that very successful gig for Triton Poker.

Yeah i watched this video and was reading the comments for it. It seems that he has retired from poker.Hopefully he is doing better for himself or trying to get there.

Or, as she calls it, Trit'n.

"Trit'n" is actually cute, and she could probably make it a trollin' personal trademark during the broadcasts by overemphasizing it while contorting her facial expressions (in unique manner) at the exact time that she says it.

Anyway, in terms of effort/time/energy relative to results, Marle beats every other poker vlogger. And before you say that it is because she is female, there are half a dozen female vloggers out there too.

As to Mark Ari, who afterall, is the subject of this thread. The guy really needs some help. He continues to have some nuggets of wisdom though...but they are getting more and more invisible and inaudible.

Ari says that he has a PhD in religious studies. Besides becoming a professor in how ancient Babylonian laws influenced Hebrew belief systems, I don't know how the hell he could monetize that thing in order to replace poker.

Maybe he can do a fusion of poker and religion and base a mental game coaching practice based on that.

The poker/religion fusion worked for Jerry Yang.

Not so much for NYPKing.

In any event, the difference between praying in church and at the tables is that, when playing poker, they mean it.

Mark Ari has gone completely off his rocker in recent times. If I was the FBI, I'd be on him like stink on ****.

He's one of the first vloggers I chanced upon and started following for a short while. But yeah, because of the sentimental aspect, I tried sticking with him, but he's gone completely ding bat. Seems to be desperately trying to make himself important. He's unwatchable now. Sort of sad.

Just out of curiosity, do you know him personally DC?

He kind of looks horrible ATM he's just wandering around a motorcycle shop?

Nope. I've never seen him IRL and have never had any sort of contact with him whatsoever. I've just watched his vlogs.

I don't get the gentleman shtick. He calls himself a gentleman and has even renamed his channel "The Academy of Gentlemen" but he's always acting like a complete jackass and he treats everyone else like ****.

i'm not familiar with this guy at all, but by flicking through a couple of his recent videos, seems pretty clear he is suffering from mental health issues. ADZ/Marafioti springs to mind.

He does have some serious issues with mental illness, he's addressed that in a few vlogs.

He's out of his mind. Can't understand his dogs need to be on a leash.

Just insanity

Yes he is clearly having mental health issues. He needs to get help. He's in full blown psychosis. If your reading this Mark there is no shame in admitting you're having mental health and getting help. Lots of people have mental health and take medications for it every day. Please get back into your doctor and get back on the meds Mark. I been watching some of your youtube vids and it seems the way your going your going to end up in jail. But then again jail might be good for you to get the help you need. And be nice to your dad and brother I'm sure they love you and want you to be healthy.

Not having dogs on a leash, particularly not having pit bulls on a leash, is a big pet peeve of mine. There are lots of clueless owners out there. To Mark's defense, he just came into possession of these dogs a week ago. He doesn't seem to understand the danger off-leash pit bulls can present to other pets and other people. nor the danger he's putting the pit bulls themselves in by allowing them to be off-leash. If he'd seen as many videos of police shooting dogs as I have I doubt he would be walking around with those dogs off-leash considering he has contact with the police every day.

Speaking of which, if people are calling the police on you everyday there is probably an issue with your behavior. He can spin it into "short man" profiling but I think he's too smart to actually believe that, particularly considering the cops have been called on him in multiple jurisdictions and in multiple situations.

He didn't seem super crazy in his police interaction and was probably trying to put on his best face for the cops. He started talking a little more crazy at the end after the officer asked if he worked but if his craziness level was dialed up as high as I've seen it he probably would have tasted asphalt.

I just hopped into his latest live stream. He literally just said this:

"And then I’ll make my way down here because I have various court appearances like at the Hamilton township where they charged me with DUI, despite blowing a 0.00. Those ****ing ******s, I’ll burn their ****ing station to the ground. "

Nowadays this could be construed as a terrorist threat right? At some point should someone call the authorities?

As I was typing this he just threatened to come through the camera and kill his viewers.

He also gave out his father's number on the stream, also called him a "****ing ******." And he gave permission for the his viewers to call him or message him to teach him a lesson .. then went on to say "If it's a lesson I teach him it might be a lesson that he might not be able to recover from."

Just yesterday I was wondering what city he resides in, in case we need to contact the local authorities. I'm sure he has said it but I wasn't paying attention.

At least today he probably won't cause society much trouble as he's focused on the UFC event he is attending. I wouldn't be surprised if he pops off to the wrong guy with his tough boy routine and got his ass kicked but at least I don't think he'll be burning anything down today.

Apparently Mark did pop off to the wrong guy. That guy didn't kick his ass but did put his hands on Mark which eventually resulted in Mark being kicked out of the arena. Much of his video was just audio with no video but after being kicked out of the arena he got kicked out of somewhere else, possibly a bar. The fact that he had his shirt completely unbuttoned at the arena couldn't have helped his cause.

He paid $400 for the ticket but only got to see the first fight on the main card. BTW, he said he was gonna burn Madison Square Garden to the ground. I'm guessing he says he's going to burn things to the ground quite often these days.

Mark Ari needs to go back to challenging people to heads up poker matches at Denny's. That was at least a comical and funny version of insanity. This version of insanity is disturbing and worrying. There seems to be a real and significant chance that Mark Ari attempts to hurt his father, himself, or somewhere else. The dude is nuts. At least he's still posting videos which I guess is some form of cry for help, but I don't know what we could do to help him before he actually hurts someone. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea for someone to report him and his youtube videos to the local authorities.

Given that he is acting recklessly around dangerous dogs, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets his face eaten off or worse...crazy world where the cops lets a crazy guy be responsible for those crazy dogs!

Mark Ari's most recent video titled "LOVE" ended seconds after he said: "Gimme a second, I'll get my gun. Oh oh, you're gonna go get a knife?!?"

There was again no video just audio.
