Wow. Stunned. 1 day ago i watched a youtuber poker pro trying to create a subscribtion-based school on how to improve your game, and now i am watching a this video. Free quality poker lessons. I dont know you Lex, but you have made this man a better poker player, and i don't know how to say thank you. You are the best in doing what you do, not only streaming and playing, but also on trying to make people be good in the game that we all both love. Greetings from Peru!
this is probably the best tournament poker coaching i've seen thus far. please post more videos like this with bencb! or a video of you coaching him on starcraft!
Bought Ben's masterclass about a month ago and can't speak highly enough on it. If you're willing to put the work in you won't find a better teacher than Ben. Great content Lex!
Gotta give credit where credit is due. Ben is a much better tournament player than I am. The moment I can’t accept truths like that is when I will get crushed and stop improving.
its very easy to notice the passion and the love that ben talks about poker, he is a truly gift to the poker comunnity,also so humble, impossible not to love this guy.U too Lex,tks for bring such a nice material,for free, GL maxx, ty ♥
Hi, Lex When I saw title this video I was like "that really happen?". When I was looking Jeff Gross videos with Ben I start thinking. If only Ben & Lex will be making stuff like this, that will be really great to watch. After capel of weeks, you put this video. My day cant start better :) Lex please this saga must continue! Thanks for a great video and others cool stuff you do for poker. Best wishes for you and now I must play poker because of this video ;)
I havent even watched the video yet, just the intro but I just wanna say that you're a fucking legend lex. Been watching your stuff for about 2 years now and my respect and admiration has only grown. You're one of the good guys bro- thank you.
Damn, this is such a humble video. Respect man. Not much people do this, and it is lovely to hear you so in the student and begginer mindset. 2 very humble guys (ben and you). Great content, pokerwise and humanwise I would say. This is good stuff.
Great video! One of the best players coaching the best streamer. I love the KJo jam with 15bb. I did this the other night in a live casino, was called by 1010 and won the flip. I was berated by three regs on the table, but to hear that that is the most +ev play from Ben, is comforting.
Im 20 i came across poker mainly over the past year i've just finished a maths degree so im use to studying numbers and methods so for this reason poker absolutely fascinates me. I don't have lots of money so i'm obviously playing the microstakes and although these ideas can't all be applied in the same way for me the thought processes and the key concepts can be. For example Ben talking about your bluff sizing depending on what bluffs you block, or the calling 3 ways pre flop being much better with a hand like 4-5 suited as apposed to 10-9 suited can definitely be applied and make a huge difference. Was a very enjoyable and valuable watch appreciate the content good job.
andjety one problem with microstakes is it doesn't break the bank no matter the decision. So bad players can get lucky far more often whereas further up in stakes they actually have a decision to make. I'm not saying move up in stake, but even one step up I found players play the game rather than bingo players.
raluca SWEET Girl you straight up whack. Have you seen bencb play? Have you seen girafganger7? I got a chance to see his graph before he went private. And believe me when I say "Oh. My. God!". Some of these dudes are printing money. I agree, stress is hard. I agree he should not quit education (nobody is encouraging that, Lex the least!). I agree game is harder. But there is money to be made if you put in the hours. I myself am a loosing player. But I clearly don't study enough. So don't think I speak with hidden intentions. Also, I can say that when I manage to bring my A game to the table, I am a winning pkayer as well, but my BIGGEST problem of them all is that I tilt so hard and so fast and slip into B or even C game way more often than I bring my A game. Peace (mad_man78912 from stream)
Ik vind het echt een fucking vette post! Ik reageer bijna nooit op een video maar wil je ff laten weten dat ik deze echt waardeer! Ik vroeg me echt af hoe je poker beter kan studeren! Ik speel alleen live en dan wordt het wel wat lastiger om zo te studeren maar heb van deze video echt wat opgestoken! Thx Lex
The stuff about 45s vs 89s just blew my mind, it seems so obvious, but yet you never think about it on table really. Against two players a 89s is more of a fold than 45s i guess. Very interesting stuff! When you start to analyze what you have been doing vs what you shouldve done it just makes so much sense.
This is sooo good😍! Thank you Lex, thank you Ben. This is the theory of rye on practical hands of Lex, with 2 pro's discussing it. Keep this kind of vids coming pleasee.
it's crazy how Ben works GTO into Exploitive which, when focused on EV/equity, is essentially just old school poker (lol).. kudos to Lex to compliment Ben's commentary for us.. thanks for everything Ben and Lex, studying with you guys always leaves me looking forward to playing. you guys make me wanna fence, too, idk.. ya'll are some ninjas
Loved the tidbit on betting bigger with your value hands and how to balance that with bluffs. It makes sense that GTO play should be focused on extracting the most value possible from imperfect opponents. Would appreciate if you equalized the sound levels in future vids though!
I'm on a shoestring budget right now, so really appreciate you guys putting this level of material on here. Please keep the series going if feasible. Thanks a lot!
This is awesome!! Vids just like this one will help me and probably others to improve their poker skills. Would definitely like to see more of this kind of content from you with Bencb.
i'm in the middle of this course and i've already seen my winrate increase a lot. its cool to watch you get coached in a lot of the scenarios i've been wondering about but havent made it to yet in the course. good video as always!
Loved the vid man thanks for taking the time to make this. More of this would be great! Do you have any videos that show or explain how you approach the early stages of an MTT? I seem to only be able to find your mid and late game play when I look through youtube.
14:55 KJs facing a 3b, suprised jamming with the pot being worth 50% of your stack after the 3b isn't mentioned. I know were 3:1 dog against his most nutted value range but if you throw in 10's and AQs were 2:1 and If he is a reg with some bluff or maybe some merged 3bs, + the fold equity considering the amount of times we have to x/f flop seems like it would have made for a viable option. Thank You very much for such high quality content.
Great video, but some things I feel as though can't be correct. Raise calling 22 from CO instead of open shoving with 15bb? (21:00) Surely open shoving would see a greater profit over time? You can push out hands such as 33 / 44 and you fold out possible reshoving hands that you flip against. Not only that Bencb stated that hands such as 22 - 55 have low playability, so if the BB flats (which most will with 60%+ of range) then you are in a weird spot on most flops that don't have 2x hands on them. Not saying Bencb is wrong by any means, but would love to see the maths behind it!
Mind is blown! Can't believe this is on TH-cam for free! I'm putting money in my piggybank as of today to save towards RYE. Can't always watch your stream but love both your TH-cam content and Twitch streams! ~ TheKingdutch
Great man! Just get the expert classes! It’s life changing! And congrats for the channel the twitch too! Just amazing what you do! Hope one day gets good as you! Best, bro!
This is awesome! Great content, and definetly makes me wanna test what Bencb says. Change up my strat a bit, see how this feels as this is a different way to approach certain scenarios!. I hope for more of this coaching stuff!
Great stuff, never really got into poker analysis more of a fun player myself. But i like math and logic and these insights are really cool to try and wrap your head around!
Loved to postflop analysis! 1:05:58 is funny though how ben talks about knowing which one hand is a borderline call in jamming spots, and then wants to fold AJs when it is printing money (1.01bb+) and ATs is the actual borderline hand :P
21:00 talking about 15bb co opens. Ben put alot of small pairs in the R call range. I feel like i've seen him say in other vids (either way) aren't we much much better off open jamming say 22-77 than opening are self up to re-steals that will have very good equity vs us and calling off
Congrats for very nice content and for finding the way to start liking one of the things you do best, Playing Poker. With this video you really show a great way for people how to reload their Knowledge and start liking the game again. I did nottest a great change on your Mental game, i can't tell what, but you are really sincerely on your words and that's is why you are having one more Fan!! I have just 2 questions, why you did needed to get downswing to search for a coach? Have you ever felt that you weren't enjoying the game and why you did felt that?
Daaaaaaamnnnnnnn, im so glad to see it ... This is fucking gold! And plus, in the title it says "New Series" so that means its going to have more!!! ty lex
From the 2nd hand: I never thought of using hands that have significant equity against others (e.g QJs, JTs) as candidates to bluff. The way Ben put it was so simple and straight forward that it blew my mind - that KQs would be better than KQo in terms of a bluffing candidate because of how connected a hand it is. That tip has already made me rethink my strategies. Also, just how knowledgeable the guy obviously is about all facets of the game is seriously impressive.
Thanks for posting this Lex. I had a question with regards to the KJ hand you shoved from the CO at the 22:00 min mark of the video. How come Ben includes low pocket pairs as part of his raise calling range? I would have thought those would play better as open shoves? Only reason I can think of is it's to make sure he's not raise folding too often.
Lex - around the 22:30 mark, Ben talks about card removal affecting our jamming ranges. Stating that it stands to reason that if it's foldes around to ourselves in the CO, then the remaining players can have stronger calling ranges vs our jam, purely because more Ax, Kx, Qx and pairs are now moreso in their ranges given the card removal effects. If that's the case, and you're in the same spot here with KJ, are you still jamming? What does your range look like? Also, given these insights, if the dynamic is correct, can we potentially alter our EP jamming range so that it becomes looser than our LP jamming range given what our opponents may be assuming about our relative strength given our position(s)?

I share everything I know on twitch anyway :)
Lex please, never stop posting that kind of vids
I learned more in this 1 hour than I learned the last 3 years just watching everyones twitch streams. Thanks for doing this!
this is probably the best tournament poker coaching i've seen thus far.
please post more videos like this with bencb! or a video of you coaching him on starcraft!
By far the most helpful video I have seen which is both clear and not talking down to the viewer, more of these please.
Thanks a lot and more coming!
Bought Ben's masterclass about a month ago and can't speak highly enough on it. If you're willing to put the work in you won't find a better teacher than Ben. Great content Lex!
Its weird hearing you sound so unsure of yourself lol... Bencb must be a super crusher! Great content thanks mate.
Gotta give credit where credit is due. Ben is a much better tournament player than I am. The moment I can’t accept truths like that is when I will get crushed and stop improving.
Spoken like its admitting the truth, which is a key to improve. Great video Lexie!
Can we check your results on Sharkscope, what name do you play under? Or can we see you on the Hendon Mob? You must be a crusher.
You would know wouldnt you :D
Why are you such a hater!? If u don't like it move on, otherwise STFU you little bitch. Come see me on BOL or ACR. Screen name Pokerhousewife
Your channel is getting better and better(despite already being the best active poker channel on youtube). Great series, keep up the good work bro.
Big compliment Ahzek. Thank you. We’re gonna keep a lot more coming. Also new stuff.
its very easy to notice the passion and the love that ben talks about poker, he is a truly gift to the poker comunnity,also so humble, impossible not to love this guy.U too Lex,tks for bring such a nice material,for free, GL maxx, ty ♥
Hi, Lex When I saw title this video I was like "that really happen?". When I was looking Jeff Gross videos with Ben I start thinking. If only Ben & Lex will be making stuff like this, that will be really great to watch. After capel of weeks, you put this video. My day cant start better :) Lex please this saga must continue! Thanks for a great video and others cool stuff you do for poker. Best wishes for you and now I must play poker because of this video ;)
It is amazing that valuable content like this is available for free. Great stuff, love it.
I havent even watched the video yet, just the intro but I just wanna say that you're a fucking legend lex. Been watching your stuff for about 2 years now and my respect and admiration has only grown. You're one of the good guys bro- thank you.
So nice dude thank you
Im from brasil, and i want to say thank you from deep from my soul. What you guys doing here is priceless.
Damn, this is such a humble video. Respect man. Not much people do this, and it is lovely to hear you so in the student and begginer mindset. 2 very humble guys (ben and you). Great content, pokerwise and humanwise I would say. This is good stuff.
Amazing content Lex! Thank you and Bencb. Really hope to see more of these coaching sessions. Incredible value for us viewers.
More coming!
Huge huge fan of your game Lex! And so refreshing to see the legend BenCB reviewing those key spots. Looking forward to more such content!
Great video! One of the best players coaching the best streamer. I love the KJo jam with 15bb. I did this the other night in a live casino, was called by 1010 and won the flip. I was berated by three regs on the table, but to hear that that is the most +ev play from Ben, is comforting.
That’s when you start crushing the hardest; when other regulars don’t get what you’re doing and just hate on it
So awesome that you’re releasing content like this for free. This stuff information is worth so much. Thank you!
this is the BEST video you ever made

I can identify myself with this! It was really interesting and helpful
True but players playing that poorly gives you more opportunities to exploit them so works both ways

Lexy, this is the best value video you have.
Dit is echt super nice. Leerzaam, chill ook nog echt leuk om te kijken.

Finally... 2 of the greatest pkerminds discussing strategy... priceless !!!
So helpful, keep em coming Lex! Can't wait
Awesome Lex! Been waiting ages for this, always love hearing from Ben. Thanks for the content brother.
Mind is blown! Can't believe this is on TH-cam for free! I'm putting money in my piggybank as of today to save towards RYE. Can't always watch your stream but love both your TH-cam content and Twitch streams! ~ TheKingdutch

Nice that’s dedication Craig. Gl
Love this coaching and Bencb ways of playing is awesome!
Excellent stuff Lex, definitely looking forward for more.
Thank you Lex (and BenCB aswell obviously ) for this amazing video !
Awesome! Thanks for sharing Lex!!
Awesome content! Really highly appreciated!!! Looking forward to some more vids with you and bencb! Tahnk you so much!!!
Great stuff, never really got into poker analysis more of a fun player myself. But i like math and logic and these insights are really cool to try and wrap your head around!
awesome man ,we need more of this!!
Love these coaching video's. Thanks Lex & Ben
Loved to postflop analysis! 1:05:58 is funny though how ben talks about knowing which one hand is a borderline call in jamming spots, and then wants to fold AJs when it is printing money (1.01bb+) and ATs is the actual borderline hand :P
Loving this even over a year later!
MOAR !!!111 When will be new video from this series
released ???
This week ;)
Great Vid!!! At 22:37, range seems fine except for raise-calling 22-44. I feel those hands play better has jams just like small suited aces.
Brilliant content, a privilege to watch. Got me straight back to the grind Ty so much
21:25 pretty sure small pps work better as a shove than as a min open/call
This is superb. Thank you so much for sharing Lex.
So pumped to finally watch this
WOAH, This is juicy and mind blowing info. I really appreciate you sharing this with us, Lex.
Edit: Master loves me.
Holy fucking shit. This is awesome content... literally everything that comes out of this guy's mouth is gold.
Haven't even seen the video but i'm hyped allready. This will be exactly what i need to improve my game. Less than three.
Turns out it was even better than expected. Thanks a lot for all the content you put out.
So happy to hear this
21:00 talking about 15bb co opens. Ben put alot of small pairs in the R call range. I feel like i've seen him say in other vids (either way) aren't we much much better off open jamming say 22-77 than opening are self up to re-steals that will have very good equity vs us and calling off
Insanely good stuff! less than three
Love this! Please make more stuff like this in future. Find it very helpful
Congrats for very nice content and for finding the way to start liking one of the things you do best, Playing Poker.
With this video you really show a great way for people how to reload their Knowledge and start liking the game again.
I did nottest a great change on your Mental game, i can't tell what, but you are really sincerely on your words and that's is why you are having one more Fan!!
I have just 2 questions,
why you did needed to get downswing to search for a coach?
Have you ever felt that you weren't enjoying the game and why you did felt that?
Daaaaaaamnnnnnnn, im so glad to see it ... This is fucking gold! And plus, in the title it says "New Series" so that means its going to have more!!! ty lex
It most certainly will
Love this series with Ben, Thanks Lex
8 minutes in and already blown away

Awesome content Lex! So informative and accessible.
Tks so much Lex! Awesome content Ben is realy a beast! Best video on the channel imo!! Thank u so much!
Supergreat content! I have TMC expert wich is great but this an uncredible extra bonus and it's for free! Big props to Lex and Ben!!
Lex this is just amazing stuff over here! Keep’em coming 👍🏻
