Marle Cordeiro’s poker vlog quickly became the talk of the poker industry shortly after its debut last fall, and her satirical and sometimes twisted style stirs up plenty of controversy. Cordeiro’s vlog takes us along on her journey up the poker cash game ladder, mixing in dark humor and commentary about women in poker, as well as hand.

Last weekend, poker player and vlogger Joey Ingram introduced Marle Cordeiro on Twitter. We have a new female poker vlogger on YouTube that people. The latest and possibly most controversial poker Vlogger, Marle Cordeiro joins Sarah Herring for a a tell all look at her life and her content creation. She opens up about a scam that changed her.

And if that’s not enough proof, do a quick search through your channel guide or internet browser and see how many programs, blogs, podcasts, and video channels are dedicated to people playing and commenting on the game.

The fact that poker has become popular is great for the game.

While there are definitely some poker personalities to avoid, there are really talented people out there adding a lot of knowledge and insight to the hobby.

With poker vloggers (video bloggers), it’s easier to follow along with the action. You get to look for tells, and see patterns or expressions while watching it. Because of this, we’d like to point out 10 vloggers who are adding meaningful commentary to poker in the hopes they can help improve your poker game.

1. Doug Polk

Doug Polk is a poker vlogger who doesn’t always top the charts of the best poker vloggers. But, with over 270,000 subscribers, he’s clearly doing something right. It may well be his poker insight that draws attention (he does play poker professionally), but I think it’s more about how he uses humor, video editing, and a lighthearted approach to make the hobby more approachable.

It’s kind of funny, actually. When I first started watching Polk, he spent so much time making fun of his bad plays that I started to wonder why I should listen to him at all. Then, I did some research and found out that he’s a lot better than he lets on, which somehow made me like his videos even more.

You can find him on YouTube where he keeps a fairly active channel.

2. Brad Owen

Brad Owen tops a lot more lists of the best poker vloggers and for good reason. Owen talks like a poker pro, responds to questions like a poker pro, and most importantly, he breaks down hands like a poker pro.

He’s also enjoyable to watch and has a no-nonsense style. He is clearly a nice guy and reacts well to with his audience, but lacks Polk’s sense of self-deprecating humor. That’s not a knock, though. Owen’s channel seems to cater to a more serious audience and is a great resource when you need in-depth details on a particular topic or hand.

3. Kristy Arnett

Kristy Arnett is a professional poker player and, according to her bio, a “risk taker.” That translates into an entertaining, very informal poker vlog style that is completely different from a lot of the vloggers on this list. Many of her videos are shot on her iPhone with her just being real in front of the camera.

She doesn’t always have play-by-play commentary of a given hand. Rather, she focuses on the mental aspects of the game, converses with poker folks like Lynn Gilmartin, performance coaching, etc. Really, the change is rather refreshing as being a good poker player is about more than just the strategy and, fortunately for us, Arnette does a great job of giving unique perspectives on poker.

Sadly, her feed isn’t as active, but her back catalog is full of good episodes.

4. Andrew Neeme

Andrew Neeme is a bit of a combination of Doug Polk and Brad Owen. His videos tend to follow a fairly similar winning format for vlogs. First, Neeme comes on and does an intro with some humor and graphics that are reminiscent of Polk’s style. Then, he starts to show poker action in a sequence that’s closer to Owen’s vlogs. He does have a tendency to talk less during matches than Owen, but will cut in with stories and commentaries.

Really, what this means is that Neeme has his own style that has attracted a lot of followers. Plus, he plays in a lot of unique poker games that aren’t the same old poker room. Give his feed a few viewings and you will see what we mean.

5. Joey Ingram

Joey Ingram’s poker vlog is one of the more intriguing feeds on the list because it’s hard to pin down exactly what it is. It says that it’s a view into Ingram’s recent Omaha poker playing guide, but then it goes on to be some much more than that. There’s humor and pieces with graphics, interviews, shows that last several hours, and more.

Frankly, the variety of formats works for Ingram who has over 90,000 people subscribed to his channel. Also, his interviewing style, Google Hangout-editing, and humor bits make his show extremely watchable, so that is a very good thing.

6. Mariano Poker

Mariano Poker is a nice channel to sit and watch for several hours on end. The show’s host, Mariano, (or his team) appear to put a lot of time into choosing intro music with opening graphics, floating text next to Mariano like a newsfeed, and more.

In the end, this particular vlog just feels more professional, which makes it easier to keep consuming and it also makes Mariano seem more trustworthy. The fact that there’s also exciting poker action and interesting guests only makes Mariano Poker that much better.

Give it a watch and see for yourself.

7. Tim Watts

Tim Watts manages to somehow be both approachable and completely hardcore at the same time. Watching his vlog, which is also shot on his phone as he walks and talks can sometimes bring about a slight case of motion sickness. Despite that, Watts is a serious poker player who manages to be entertaining and produce a well-edited poker vlog.

He provides his raw opinion, which is very refreshing and makes the game easier to learn. He also has nice gear you can buy from his store.

8. Marle Cordeiro

Marle Cordeiro is fairly new to the poker vlogging scene, but still has managed to garner a respectable 28,000 subscribers. Cordeiro is a fresher voice amongst poker players, due in no small part to her relative youth (not inexperience) and the fact that she’s a woman who can clearly play poker.

Also, her videos tend to be slightly on the shorter side, which means she can talk about a topic and move on. Definitely check her show out, but avoid the vlog with the topless overweight dudes in bunny ears. It’s jarring. Seriously.

9. Andrew Lok

Andrew Lok is a very technical poker vlogger who has a format that is everything I ever wanted in poker commentary. He will take a hand of poker and go through it play-by-play, discussing what he was thinking, things he was looking for, and what he guessed the other person had.

It basically answers why he chose to do something and why the opponent chose to react. It’s dense, analytical vlogging, but it’s a great learning tool that will make your game that much better.

10. Johnnie Vibes

No list is complete without Johnnie Vibes and his completely professional set of poker vlogs. These things are works of art, complete with excellent camera work, editing, sound, and enough humor to be interesting. Plus, it’s just clear that Vibes understand poker, knows how to win, and is happy to teach his audience how to do it.

He doesn’t have the largest catalog, but what he does have is full of great information about the game of poker. It’s also full of poker personalities (like some of the people on this list) who show up to help him produce really exceptional poker content.

Conclusion

When it comes to poker vlogs, there is clearly something for everyone. Whether you want someone completely no-frills, but authentic, or someone with high production values or lots of good humor, there is a poker feed out there.

As you try to improve your poker game, check out all of these shows. Each will equip you to excel at the game in their own way. Then, when you’ve consumed all these shows, feel free to go out and find your own. There are lots of great people out there making fantastic content who are just a quick search away.

A poker player involved in the multi-million-dollar lawsuit against alleged poker cheat Mike Postle is now filing her own lawsuit against him.

Poker pro and vlogger Marle Cordeiro is suing Postle for $250,000 in damages after filing a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court in Southern Nevada. The suit, initially reported by TMZ, charged Postle with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and two counts of negligence.

Cordeiro is being represented by Mac VerStandig, the gaming attorney also handling the larger lawsuit against Postle. VerStandig filed the suit on April 4.

The suit alleges that Postle, who won roughly $250,000 in small-stakes live streamed cash games at Stone Gambling Hall, had information about his opponents’ hole cards sent to his phone in real time.

“While playing in Stones Live Poker games, Mr. Postle would stare – often repeatedly – between his legs, at his cellular telephone, so as to study the Hole Cards of other players, and would then use the superior knowledge gleaned from such study (the ultimate form of poker cheating) to defraud those players in a systematic and highly-effective manner,” read the lawsuit.

Court documents also cited the fact that Postle never played on any other live streamed poker game, despite being invited to play on Live at the Bike! shortly after the cheating allegations broke last October, and that his 94 percent win rate at Stones was simply unachievable.

“In short, Mr Postle’s poker winnings – considered in both prism of both metrics and hand-for-hand decision making – on Stones Live Poker have been not merely outliers, but in fact, exponential outliers representing a quality of play multiple degrees higher than that achieved by the best poker players in the world,” read the suit.

Cordeiro alleges that Postle was aided by “one or more confederates” that helped get him the live stream information to his phone. Many high-stakes players and poker experts in the community believe that person to be Justin Kuraitis, Stones’ tournament director that also was in charge of live streams.

Card Player had previously reached out to Stones about the employment status of Kuraitis, but the staff would not comment on the situation.

The suit also points out that when Kuraitis was out of town, Postle’s results weren’t as superhuman as they normally seemed. As well as one time where Postle may have unintentionally implicated himself.

Court documents pointed to a specific instance on May 6, 2019 where Postle left the pot-limit Omaha game and visited the commentary booth to talk about his on-the-felt actions. During his commentary stint, he admitted that he had knowledge that the stream only displayed two of the four hole cards.

Given that he was in the game the entire time, the suit alleges that there was no way that Postle could have that information without having prior knowledge of what was happening on-stream.

Finally, Cordeiro points to a hand she played against Postle in one of the lone high-stakes streamed games. In a $10-$25-$50 no-limit hold’em game, Cordeiro flopped the nut straight with Q-10 on a J-9-8 flop against Postle’s Q-J.

Postle checked and called a bet on the flop before checking and folding to a single bet on the turn.

“In a vacuum, this could be attributed to the Defendant having a conservative demeanor, having a quality ‘read’ on Ms. Cordeiro, or being exhausted at the end of a long night of poker; in the context of his fraudulent cheating operation, and realizing he was playing with the illicit advantage of knowing Ms. Cordeiro’s Hole Cards, this is only attributable to his tortious conduct,” read the suit.
