Got my Hustler nemesis @MarianoPoker in the JUNGLE today. This guy went from delivering pizzas to running PURE EVIL BLUFFS against me for 50k+ (still thinking about that hand bro). Now he's got 163k YouTube subs and is playing in games with 800k pots... pretty nuts.
We're getting into how to BUILD your way into the biggest games, why being charming > GTO (usually), and Mariano's secret weapon - bringing that Latin smoothness to the table (there's a reason why he's called the KING of Argentina). He walks us through getting OWNED by Dennis the Menace and some twilight zone hands that'll make your head spin.
BONUS: Mariano tries to be humble about outplaying me but I make him talk proper trash. Can't let these young guns get too respectful.
For aspiring crushers, content creators, and anyone trying to win the game of life - this episode shows how poker skills can unlock doors you didn't even know existed. Even if those doors lead to forming a punk band in LA.
Watch to see how deep the rabbit hole goes... or just to hear Mariano finally admit he owned my soul in that bluff spot.
Ever wonder how a pizza delivery guy becomes a poker sensation AND starts a band? This is the episode for you. The magic is real folks!

Jonathan Jaffe has taken the poker world by storm for nearly a decade. This Massachusetts native started his journey as a professional poker player after just one semester of college and quickly rose to prominence. Specializing in heads-up Sit & Go tournaments, he made a name for himself at 21 by clinching 2nd place in his first World Poker Tour event . The confidence and notoriety launched him into the realm of backing and coaching. A few years immersed in high-stakes live cash games followed, but as that chapter closed, he transitioned seamlessly into full-time coaching.
September 2022 marked a new era as he ventured into the Triton Poker Series, instantly becoming hooked and committing to playing every Triton event even while continuing his coaching.
Last year was a whirlwind of research for an upcoming book that delves deep into the high-stakes tournament scene, exploring its vibrant culture and colorful personalities. This passion for the game and its intricacies also led to the launch of the GTO LAB podcast in April, a platform dedicated to the high roller tournament circuit. The podcast not only features in-depth discussions with top tournament players but also offers meticulous breakdowns of pivotal hands played on stream, all while promoting the GTO LAB and its mission.
