Lex commentary is because he can see the cards lol. He obviously isnt thinking some of this while hes playing or he wouldnt have played the way he plays.
It baffles me when a player raises on the river with a straight, or flush, with the board paired, then loses to an all-in reraised and claims he’s running bad.
Lexo… you are not as good as you think you are. You need a coach or something different. Your high stakes play sucks man, you keep playing like you currently are
I don't normally comment on hands but.... WHAT THE FUCK was that raise, then call with the KQ???? OMG... If you're going to raise, raise to 8k then fold if re-raised. But what do I know... You're the pro, not me.
Lexo is pretty bad lol. What are you calling with in the end. if he had just a 9 or straight his only real play is to call. Theres no bluffs with the stacks left lol
Yeah, the moment he re-raised I would have insta folded. You’re not beating them if you don’t have tens full. Such an overplay of your hand. He was licking his chops when you raised his $3k bet. He was just trying to get a call or knew you may have had a straight and made a blocker bet to induce you to raise. It worked.
"I sat with the best poker vlogger in the world, and I won." The Session: Mariano - UP $41K Lex O - DOWN $51K LOL Hell, he even beat you in getting the vlog out by 8 days.
i really like watching your vlogs, because its entertaining ❤ but man its not youre runnig that bad, youre making calls you shouldnt, and wenn you river fullhouse with QQ the guys fold top pair A against you.. maybe its tougher than you think 🤷🏻♂️ but probably i am a mean keyboard warrior 🙈
Such a bad call with the straight vs full house. You were never ahead at any point in that hand. You only had a bluff catcher with that straight. Your poker instincts are not where they need to be.
this dude reads the comments and thinks all these people saying he sucks are just haters. bro if you were actually good you wouldnt get those comments fool
Ok Lex, its time we had a heart to heart talk. I'm trying really hard not to be negative. I played poker full time like you for 2 years and decided to go back to work. It was the best decision I could have made. I asked myself, how much longer can I go on making a slight profit. I was profitable. After you calculate the wins, the profit is very little. Not a good life ahead as far as what I expect of myself. I study poker every day using GTO programs, videos, groups, ect. I have to say you have a game that needs a lot of work. You make a number of mistakes that a studied player would not. I really don't understand how you can not correct your basic leaks and thought process before playing these super high levels. When you're in a hole, you should stop digging. You owe it to your dogs to live a happy life and you're not doing that now. How much longer are you going to put yourself thru this torture and cutting your life short? I enjoy watching your videos not because I am looking for strategy and game improvement but because I learn from you what not to do and how not to play the game. This isn't a knock on you, its just the skill level you're at. I think you're a fine $2/5 player so why not stick with that?
I enjoyed his 2/5 sessions much more. This is just like me playing when I’m on tilt lol. But I berate myself for such plays. Lex is like “I’m running so bad”. Underestimating players like Taras.
Lex O: He could have Ace-King, Ace-Queen, Ace-Jack or Ace-10. He could also have suited connectors like King-Queen, King-Jack or King-10 suited. He also could have a flush, 2 pair, 1 pair or Ace high. He could also have King high, Jack high, 10 high or 9 high. Now that I think about it, he could also have some pocket pairs like pocket 9s, pocket 8s, pocket 7s or 6s. Looking back at the preflop action he could also have .............................
You simply do not have the ability to play with these guys. Go back to your real domain...10/20 and be satisfied with your gains. Your ego has got the better of you...simply stay humble and you will succeed
Lex, I have no idea how much you make from your YT - channel but I have a feeling you are playing games that are waaay above your bankroll. You bought in for 20k right? That means that your bankroll should be at least, at least, 20x that amount. (Some say the magic number is 50x) So if your bankroll is 500k+, go ahead, try your luck with the big boys. If it's not 500k, maybe you should stick to the stakes you're used to. Yeah, I know, you always say that you are competitive and wanna play against the best. Always push yourself. Bla bla. Dude, that's the gambling devil speaking. You have a good thing going at the Hard rock. You are crushing. Don't fu*k that up becuz you wanna "prove yourself". In a year or two, when you have worked on your game and have a solid bankroll you can go try your luck again. Until then, don't rock the boat. From Sweden with love
Just keep in mind, and in the spirit of the theme of this video re: bluffing vs Mariano with 82 , Mike (in Rounders) ended up going to Vegas because of his belief in himself. It's that same belief that compels Lex to test himself in bigger games. Mariano had that path, and the same for Brad Owen. Why not our boy Lex?
When are you going to learn that you're only going to get called by hand that beat you or you going to open yourself up to this you lost 11,000 more than you needed to
I think I like a big bet on the turn with 2nd pair and nut flush draw against Taras. You are probably ahead with the best draw against this particular player.
@@nutterbutters2232Did he used to bluff this much at the lower stakes? Feels like his bluff attempts have ramped up during the higher stakes and is contributing a lot to his losing sessions.
Yeah you're playing with a hand tied behind your back without it. Not to mention that a lot of people on these streams, just have trust funds and family money. Losing $100k doesn't mean much.
Win poker = skill + luck You can’t get far without any of those elements! Can’t question your skill, so it was lack of luck. Huge pots, heads up, you had lower hands.
Hard to be a successful poker pro with a gambling addiction and Lex has some worrying tendencies. Down big he wants to just double the stakes? Thinking you can just win it all back next time seems dangerous
Video should have been. I wish I played better. I made a few mistakes. I should have done this instead. I wish I had whined less because I was probably annoying everyone else.
You must slow down.....cant play this big games yet, youre bank roll is not so big like the other players....calm and start again...play lower stakes....
The way you are talking at the end of the video…. Man you are going to lose your whole bankroll sooner rather than later. Your ego is way to big to play in these games and it’s just going to take over. I hope you have someone in your life that can bring you back down to earth before you hit rock bottom.
That KQ was an over play imo. That 3k is either a straight call or a min raise. 13k was too much imo. If you min raise with 6k you can fold river to a jam.
With a double card i would just call....never raise, and if i do raise a d they Jam all in, fold fast ! Its so obvius he has full house... j9 10 10.....most concéntrate more.
did not see the result of the KQ hand so far but man... you say you dont give him J9 from utg so you can discount that, but in same second you say you are beatibg Q9 so that would speak for a call 😅
Lex is the "pro" that regs want in their game lol. In enough time where the variance washes he will lose in these games. He's such a narcissist though and will continue to bleed.
Yea he’s pretty awful some of his decisions. My blind g ma can see he was beat on the 8,9 hand and the k, q hand. Even the dude with 3,s called cause he knew he’s scared money. Raise big there he would have won .3,500 ain’t shit
Following you for the past 3 years. Cant see you losing and get bullied at these high stakes. Please dont play if you are not comfortable here. We are with you ❤
Only two hands were bad plays IMO. The bet/call you made with a straight on a paired board and not folding 9/8 clubs to a three bet preflop out of position. Just my opinion.
If you're putting $100,000 at risk in any session, you should have at least 20x in cash on hand JUST FOR POKER. You should have $2,000,000 in your poker bankroll. That's the tried and true rule and there IS NO WAY around it. I don't think you have anything close to that. Maybe $350,000 to $500,000. Disclaimer: this is an objective, logic-based piece of advice and not a hating on you type of comment. I wish the best for every poker player in their endeavors through well-managed bankrolls, especially playing solely as their income source.
There a bunch of intangibles in play when you are blogging as your side hustle to playing in these streamed games, among them all the cross-promotion. That aside, shot taking isn't a huge risk of ruin if you can and will move down when you hit your loss limit. And, as they used to say: he's a professional, don't try this at home.
82os play was boss af! nice one lex! For KQos im torn between going for value vs just calling to a river bet if i make a straight on a paired board. I like that you went for value there tbh.
Playing 2 times with "The Big Boys" costed you around or over $ 100K. I would look at that that as a big warningsign. It takes a f long time to grind those 2 sessions back on 2/5 and 5/10. And this is only because you wanted 'to prove' that you are capable to play with "The Big Boys", so it is only driven by EGO. There is nothing wrong with playing smaller games like 2/5 and 5/10 where you have somewhat of an edge and the pressure to deal with when you run bad is much easier to deal with. Make smart decisions. 👍👍👍👍
I like Lex a lot. He's capable of playing there. The poker in these games is actually garbage. It's just a huge disadvantage having the money matter to you when it doesn't to other people. He's better off stabbing at big dollar tournaments. Elon could play the WSOP, but once you're out, you're out. Elon plays in these streams and it's not very hard to bluff a stack or call the same with next to nothing.
@@internetposta7389 If you don't have the right bankroll for these stakes to play comfortably, then don't play there at all. If the money means too much to you then it puts a lot of pressure on you, pressure that your opponents will put on you because they 'sense' that the money means too much to you.
@@internetposta7389 Only play these games if you have the right bankroll for them to do so. His opponents can easily 'sense' that the money means too much to Lex in these games and then those players will put you to the test and bring you in uncomfortable spots. If Lex would have lost 5K in his normal 5-10 game he would have laughed if off and moved on in a heartbeat. Now the loss is 10 times as much and then it hurts. Lex is a 5-10 / 10-20 player not a 50-100/200 player. Plain simple.
I do feel for you though. I don’t think you’re playing your best, but you definitely have balls. I’ve never played higher than 2-5 so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It’s amazing how far you’ve come, hopefully it will swing the other way soon
I think that straight versus full house could have easily been avoided. Yes the villain is capable of bluffing but it’s very rare for that player to bluff shove their whole stack on the river. Rampage would be the exception but aside from him that doesn’t happen often. Just my 2 cents.
The most shocking thing about this video is that people with this kind of money eat at Jersey Mike's! In all seriousness though, great video Lex. Sorry it didn't go your way, but you had some great plays and it'll turn around.
I agree . There is no limits to cheating and gambling.. even shuffle machines can rig the whole cards... You may get premiums and the " maniacs " are in on the scam... So they raise or call your premium but then they flop the world.. be wise.. get holy Spirit guidance
Yeah the KQ was too thin he called a raise from the SB, heavily weighted twords AX, he called on the flop 3 way, what’s he have? Flush draw/AX, def should of pot controlled turn and get to show down
I'm just not seeing where Lex has $50,000 to burn. Like "oh well, it's a 50k lesson" hurts bad if you have a million cash. Pretty sure Lex is either dying inside, or came into some money he hasn't shared with us how.
I’m a big fan and like your vlogs. I’ve watched all of them. I met and played with you one time when I visited Florida. It’s cool to see you push yourself out of your comfort zone. Don’t try to hang with the “cool guys” and be cool and do stupid things. I think in these games these bug sharks have your situation sized up. They know you’re playing disproportionate to your bankroll. They know you’re afraid to lose your 30k buy in and they’re not. That puts you at a big disadvantage. Stick to the basics 5/10. Just my advice as a friend.
Think the 8c9c is a fold vs a cold 4 bc of how it interacts with the Broadway hands. Probably worse at 300 bigs. Think the lower connectors are continues.
Maybe you need to play 25/50 instead of 100/200. You're leapfrogging a couple of levels in order to "play bigger". What we're witnessing is classic playing above your head, we've all gone through it. Take a break, go back to 5/10 for a few months.
LexO!!!! There is a common theme… and I wanna help you see it. There have been multiple times on stream that you’ve been caught bluff catching with weaker hands or 4th-8th nuts on super dynamic boards. What I’m saying is - players in these games have caught on and started betting huge for value into you. because you are talking yourself into calls. These river bets are 90% for value against you. I think in your next big game- recognize the sequence of Value vs bluffing. I hope you start getting on the right side of these.
The last hand I put Taras exactly on AQ, but to be fair I watch him on the live streams a lot. He's definitely capable of bluffing but that should've been a fold once he bet that big on the river. Regardless though I love your vlogs Rex. Better luck next time.
I dont know why Lex is moaning. If you play these stakes 2 or 3 bad hands can be huge losses. That's poker. Play games you're bankrolled for. Play games you can beat. Play a lot.
To quote the same movie you did in your vlog, "If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker." 🤣 Was a good bluff on Mariano, at least you have juevos to sit down at the table.
What are you getting to call you that’s worse with KQ?? Maybe AJ that’s it. AJ probably doesn’t even call there tho. Obviously easier said behind a screen but pretty easy check call on a paired board vs 2/3 pot bet on river
I think people think ur bluffing a lot. Guys seemed like they were calling you light all night. But I’ve also heard you be called a tight player. Idk, just an observation.
The only question I have here is; How much of this amount is on you ? Most of the players at this level are selling a part of their action to reduce the variance and most likely because they don't have the bankroll necessary. Unless you have or make enough for this game, it would only be prudent to do the same.
Win, lose, or draw, always remember this quote from Theodore Roosevelt: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
I think you had to raise for value with QK on the river but fold to the shove. I think your call with 89cc was good on the long run, too bad you were against AQ My thoughts Good luck
I think with your bankroll, mindset is more important then everything else. So it was a mistake to stay, you wouldnt deffinetly play your A-game anyway.
Could have loss 3k instead of 25k on river with kq can’t make that raise on a paired board, paired flop all straights should be played as a small hand just call , definitely not a bad beat when u call an all in with a stright on a paired board
I never miss one single vlog. I hope you can realize how bad you are playing and most important you reads on the hands. This is a construtive coment. I wish you all the best.
Call me scared money but when the board is paired and someone sees me all the way and checks the river, I'm checking back to avoid the unfortunate situation that you just experienced witht he J9. You and Rampage get check raised all the time when you guys bet instead of doing the safe thing and checking.
Maybe just my opinion but its not so much run bad but getting into many bloated pots with not so premium hands and small stack. Against good players who know its a big game for you.
Lex commentary is because he can see the cards lol. He obviously isnt thinking some of this while hes playing or he wouldnt have played the way he plays.
ur raise on the river w KQ was way yoo big. Make it like $8.6k then fold to a shove
I can even find a check there. I don’t see trips calling a 1/2 pot or bigger bet.
I don't see how he even sees the guy calling a check raise on the river with anything worse.
@@californiaplant-basedeater2761

Bankroll management.
Lex, KQo hand with the straight against boat is a punt. Very serious overplay unless the villain is a maniac.
Yeah, the moment he re-raised I would have insta folded. You’re not beating them if you don’t have tens full. Such an overplay of your hand. He was licking his chops when you raised his $3k bet.

There is nothing wrong with playing smaller games like 2/5 and 5/10 where you have somewhat of an edge and the pressure to deal with when you run bad is much easier to deal with.
Make smart decisions.
👍👍👍👍
I like Lex a lot. He's capable of playing there. The poker in these games is actually garbage. It's just a huge disadvantage having the money matter to you when it doesn't to other people. He's better off stabbing at big dollar tournaments. Elon could play the WSOP, but once you're out, you're out. Elon plays in these streams and it's not very hard to bluff a stack or call the same with next to nothing.
@@internetposta7389 If you don't have the right bankroll for these stakes to play comfortably, then don't play there at all.
If the money means too much to you then it puts a lot of pressure on you, pressure that your opponents will put on you because they 'sense' that the money means too much to you.
@@internetposta7389 Only play these games if you have the right bankroll for them to do so.
His opponents can easily 'sense' that the money means too much to Lex in these games and then those players will put you to the test and bring you in uncomfortable spots.
If Lex would have lost 5K in his normal 5-10 game he would have laughed if off and moved on in a heartbeat.
Now the loss is 10 times as much and then it hurts.
Lex is a 5-10 / 10-20 player not a 50-100/200 player.
Plain simple.
I wanna say I’m a fan, but I’m gonna Armchair quarterbacking this one chasing a gut shot with a paired board? That’s asking for it, right?
I do feel for you though. I don’t think you’re playing your best, but you definitely have balls. I’ve never played higher than 2-5 so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
It’s amazing how far you’ve come, hopefully it will swing the other way soon
I think that straight versus full house could have easily been avoided. Yes the villain is capable of bluffing but it’s very rare for that player to bluff shove their whole stack on the river. Rampage would be the exception but aside from him that doesn’t happen often. Just my 2 cents.
18:33 that is a big mistake at these stakes in my opinion. Letting Mariano sweat will give him a LOT of info about how you're playing.
I agree 100%
is this Rampage everyone talking about?
No; this is Lex. Rampage has his own channel; his real name is Ethan Yau.
The worst player ever.
I feel like I am watching Rampage
It's watching Rampage except Rampage had 1-2M in the bank before he started losing it all. Lex has damaged his reputation with this.
The most shocking thing about this video is that people with this kind of money eat at Jersey Mike's! In all seriousness though, great video Lex. Sorry it didn't go your way, but you had some great plays and it'll turn around.
lex was all about them side bets.
For that kind of money the incentive to cheat is always possible. I'd stear clear of these kind of games
I agree . There is no limits to cheating and gambling.. even shuffle machines can rig the whole cards... You may get premiums and the " maniacs " are in on the scam... So they raise or call your premium but then they flop the world.. be wise.. get holy Spirit guidance
49:03 Humbleness, self analysis and motivation. Thank you Lex! Good luck in Huston!
Lex, good luck climbing the vertical ice wall....
Yeah the KQ was too thin he called a raise from the SB, heavily weighted twords AX, he called on the flop 3 way, what’s he have? Flush draw/AX, def should of pot controlled turn and get to show down
I'm just not seeing where Lex has $50,000 to burn. Like "oh well, it's a 50k lesson" hurts bad if you have a million cash. Pretty sure Lex is either dying inside, or came into some money he hasn't shared with us how.
Lex O please don’t block the hands out
He's making it more interesting
I’m a big fan and like your vlogs. I’ve watched all of them. I met and played with you one time when I visited Florida. It’s cool to see you push yourself out of your comfort zone. Don’t try to hang with the “cool guys” and be cool and do stupid things. I think in these games these bug sharks have your situation sized up. They know you’re playing disproportionate to your bankroll. They know you’re afraid to lose your 30k buy in and they’re not. That puts you at a big disadvantage. Stick to the basics 5/10. Just my advice as a friend.
Tricktime looking more like snacktime. Good job tho Lex
If you're in a hand with Tricktime, there's about a 75% chance he's bluffing, all the time, every street.
Poker trick losses hundreds of thousands almost every time he plays. He must have a money tree.
@@ChrisSlick1 he won the powerball a few years back.
The chocolate should only come out after winning sessions lol
Kq is such a trivial raise fold at any stake
If you need a dog watcher, I live in Cooper City with a fenced in backyard. Hit me up.
I wish LEX would stop playing those degenerates gambling game at $50/$100. Dont become a new Rampage.
Think the 8c9c is a fold vs a cold 4 bc of how it interacts with the Broadway hands. Probably worse at 300 bigs. Think the lower connectors are continues.
you can tell he didnt want to make this video lol. sounds annoyed the whole time. No self fluffing intro this time?
Eating McDonald's and playing high stakes poker, SMH. Are you that cheap
Maybe you need to play 25/50 instead of 100/200. You're leapfrogging a couple of levels in order to "play bigger". What we're witnessing is classic playing above your head, we've all gone through it. Take a break, go back to 5/10 for a few months.
LexO!!!! There is a common theme… and I wanna help you see it. There have been multiple times on stream that you’ve been caught bluff catching with weaker hands or 4th-8th nuts on super dynamic boards. What I’m saying is - players in these games have caught on and started betting huge for value into you. because you are talking yourself into calls.
These river bets are 90% for value against you. I think in your next big game- recognize the sequence of Value vs bluffing. I hope you start getting on the right side of these.
It could be worse. You could be “ Frankie C” who has his gf bankroll his losses. Atleast you grind your own money
The last hand I put Taras exactly on AQ, but to be fair I watch him on the live streams a lot. He's definitely capable of bluffing but that should've been a fold once he bet that big on the river. Regardless though I love your vlogs Rex. Better luck next time.
I dont know why Lex is moaning. If you play these stakes 2 or 3 bad hands can be huge losses. That's poker. Play games you're bankrolled for. Play games you can beat. Play a lot.
To quote the same movie you did in your vlog, "If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker." 🤣
Was a good bluff on Mariano, at least you have juevos to sit down at the table.
What are you getting to call you that’s worse with KQ?? Maybe AJ that’s it. AJ probably doesn’t even call there tho. Obviously easier said behind a screen but pretty easy check call on a paired board vs 2/3 pot bet on river
I think people think ur bluffing a lot. Guys seemed like they were calling you light all night. But I’ve also heard you be called a tight player.
Idk, just an observation.
POW. Paying shortstack calling 98c in a 3bet pot with low spr... unless u jammed the flop
The only question I have here is; How much of this amount is on you ?
Most of the players at this level are selling a part of their action to reduce the variance and most likely because they don't have the bankroll necessary. Unless you have or make enough for this game, it would only be prudent to do the same.
Win, lose, or draw, always remember this quote from Theodore Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
The wild that Terrace is you know he’s gonna have queen or 7
I think you had to raise for value with QK on the river but fold to the shove.
I think your call with 89cc was good on the long run, too bad you were against AQ
My thoughts
Good luck
I think with your bankroll, mindset is more important then everything else. So it was a mistake to stay, you wouldnt deffinetly play your A-game anyway.
Dude. Second hand. Sh*t happens. You always call. You’re grinding dude.
Could have loss 3k instead of 25k on river with kq can’t make that raise on a paired board, paired flop all straights should be played as a small hand just call , definitely not a bad beat when u call an all in with a stright on a paired board
This is why i will only play recreationally. Poker is the only game on the planet where a good player can beat a bad player not with skill, BUT LUCK.
When you bump it up to $13000, The only hand that will call you, is full house or better.
I never miss one single vlog. I hope you can realize how bad you are playing and most important you reads on the hands. This is a construtive coment. I wish you all the best.
Call me scared money but when the board is paired and someone sees me all the way and checks the river, I'm checking back to avoid the unfortunate situation that you just experienced witht he J9. You and Rampage get check raised all the time when you guys bet instead of doing the safe thing and checking.
Maybe just my opinion but its not so much run bad but getting into many bloated pots with not so premium hands and small stack. Against good players who know its a big game for you.
Second time you've torched 50k on stream in high stakes . Maybe go back to low stakes lol youre not that guy pal
