Lex, you are an experienced player, so I will go ahead and make this comment. When you had 10/10 with top set, at showdown you tossed your cards towards the pot which is always close to the muck pile. Why do that !!! It puts your hand at risk!! I see players do it all the time. Why not just turn your cards over on the felt directly in front of you? Why take that risk? It makes absolutely no sense. I’ve seen bad things happen many times over my 25 years playing live poker. Just a word of friendly advice, don’t do that.
I was going to make the same comment. Don’t ever do this. Don’t ever leave the decision up to the floor no matter how slam dunk you think it is. Always turn your cards over right in front of you. Those cards are your receipt to the pot. Don’t let them out of your playing area for any reason. Never toss them out to the center of the table unless you are mucking them.
@@lucasongaming554 not a fringe rule. I’ve been playing poker for 25 years and I’ve played at many many casinos and Card rooms. I don’t know of any of them where your hand is not ruled “dead” if it touches the muck. Face up or not.
Yeah I've seen some dealers do some out of pocket shit and assume folds soooo many times. Generally the table has a sense of justice and knows when you're not folding. But some dealers just get in auto pilot and muck everything that crosses the line.
I get more stoked for Lex vids than Brad Owen vids. Nice heater. You deserve it after all the run bad last several months. Lex, what is good bankroll management? How many buy ins do you need for the stakes you play and when do you start pulling money from your bankroll to pay for life stuff??
Hey Lex, I think it would be helpful if you could have subtitles or something for when you’re explaining what each position’s action is. Like around 4:50 I kinda lost track at what position player was 3 or 4 betting too…thanks tho love the vlogs!!!
In response to your comments: Kids are great if you get lucky, not so much if you dont. Luckily most turn out good. What about a vlogger meet up function (game), Mariano etc, that might work for you and them. Less stress for you and them. In reference to your bankroll management, do you have a percentage that you move to your home account on a winning basis? (I suppose you do) Your doing great. From Sidney, BC
Love a good heater 😎You ran really well, however, you also played your hands incredibly well. Especially enjoyed hearing your thought process. All of us plebs thank you!
i've played somewhere before where they would have mucked your TT that didn't turn up and touched the cards in the middle. you should control yourself to avoid being f'd
Why would you throw your cards toward the board like that? Even had one flip over.... you're asking for your hand to be mucked or a confrontation and the floor called
Definitely a much and isn’t a tournament don’t know why players can’t just face up their cards so simple be careful might cost you thousands in the future and this is coming from a professional dealer 🤷🏽♂️
Hi Lexo! Love the content. Was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable the questions were in the outro. Very insightful stuff! That sleep schedule has to be a beast...Love the advice on the bankroll management as well. What are your thoughts specifically on the amount you like to have regarding the stakes you're playing? Do you aim to have 20-30 buy-ins before you move up? Just curious. Wish you the best!
I agree with Lex-O Poker that on the dating streets being a professional poker player is inversely proportional to most women's interest in having anything to do with you. It's overwhelmingly reverse implied odds. Maybe try thin angle shooting and proclaim being a full-time TH-camr first and foremost, who plays poker primarily to garner views and never-ending content, like Rampage. That's probably the +EV line to take. Truth is there are actually few less respectable/meaningful career choices out there than being a professional gambler. Most women will never be able to relate to just how rewarding it is professionally having a job where your main goal is to cool off tough, deep-stacked GTO Euro pros in 4-bet pots by flopping bottom set, or the job satisfaction derived from stacking a rec player getting out-of-line overvaluing top-top while sitting at a table way above his skill level! Enjoy the grind and run good bro
brother these games are so much better for you, then you go play in hustler or some high stakes cash game and lose 50 grand.. its not worth it, make your 30gs a month playing these 5/10s and you are golden, why play with an absolute sharks, look what happened to Dwan, Rampage, and how many others.. these high stakes cash games are full of ppl who know how to play poker well but also.. don't give a shit about cash, they can lit million on fire and come next day again. U will be able to do that.. but.. after few years of saving 20 grand a month, invest in properties, stocks, make yourself wealthy and then you can start playing these games. Get your wealth secured first.
Been subscribed for quite some time now and today's video is 100% the reflexion on why I keep waiting for Lex videos every week: he's honesty and humility. Amazing Q&A.
Thx. Good answers. Would still love to know how you decide when to muck vs when you show 1 or 2 cards when you don’t have to. Information is key in this game, and I’m trying to get better at the mental aspect of this.
You shouldnt throw your cards out like that . That pocket tens hand the guy helped you out. Any real casino that would be considered a muck. Guy with losing hand could have easily argued it was a muck but the other player literally saved you
Hey lex I go to hard rock and harrahs (WSOP in feb but really just a cash player) in the winter when I go to pompano beach hope to run into you! Huge fan of channel.
Hey Lex, I’ve been following you for a while now and I need to talk to you about something, I live in the Tampa Bay Area, please reach out to me if you get time, thanks
In the 10's full hand, weren't you heads up with the player directly to your left? I've flipped cards similarly before but to show the opponent seated on the other end of the table. I get it's semantics but in that case I'd just flip them over in front of me so he and the dealer can see (and no risk of the appearance of mucking). Does anyone else do this in the chat?
I wrote you a comment about a month ago I’m Manny from Miami. I’m really glad you’re playing 5-10 more and also great to see you running good again. Keep up the good work. Ps: that’s your game. Good luck buddy. Hope to see you at the Rock soon 👍🏻
What would happen at 9:25 if you threw your cards in the middle, intending to reveal your full house and they both landed face down by accident? They joke in the video you were mucking, but is there anything that could be enforced and have made you actually lose the hand? I don't play much live poker so not sure if this is a stupid question.
The way he threw them in and one landing face down the dealer had every right to call his hand dead. He is really lucky they allowed him to win that pot. All he has to do is turn them over.
You don't look like an introvert 😄 Dude, playing poker and having a wife and kids? Not gonna happen, except when you make a lot of money, otherwise it's impossible. She wants money, she wants you to be home... don't think many poker players pull that of
@@xavierharding8938 exactly, a poker player with a lot of money, a decent player as you say, but how many % achieve that? 5%? 10%? that play full time and didn't quit and get a regular job. So I think for him with a good income but not spectacular it's logical he can't get a woman, money is all they care about, understandable..
In that JJ hand around min 6 when you wanted the call. A good subliminal “trick” that works very frequently for me is to very very slowly (almost imperceptibly slowly) start dropping my head. It’s a primitive/animalistic sign of submission. Some opponents pick this up and will instinctively interpret it as weakness and call. Try it when you want calls and see if it works for you!
Very few highly successful poker players has successful marriages and kids. But Niemi has a good marriage, and Brad Owen has a kid, so maybe poker vloggers will be able to shift it.
Being in a relationship and playing poker, even semi-professionally, can be tough. If you find a woman who plays too, i think that could work. Good luck finding her Lex. She's out there.
Sup buddy. Love ur video. But the full house ten's that u won. Try not to throw ur cards like that. Bc if it landed in the wrong spot. Ur card could b dead. "Not in play. "
Being a poker player of almost 20 yrs plus it's ssooo hard to have a relationship and kids n juggling time spent playing, n being a father but it's possible. I play 4 days a month and the other weekends I put aside with the kids.
I need to play this vlog from the +/-20 minute mark for my present wife. I'm an empty nester player of 15+ years with decent success, and while she TRIES, only accepts it without understanding it. THANK YOU for saying this out loud from a pros perspective! You have inspired me again, Lex!🥴😎🍻👍🍀
More Meetups will make you more comfortable. Not that you'll ever get out of being an introvert. Being an introvert myself, I enjoy pushing myself from time to time out of my comfort zone. The key is getting rest before and after the outing. It is draining. Plan accordingly.
Great video Lex, lots of great questions answered. My question didn't get answered but that's ok, I know you can't get to all of them. I did enjoy the video and I love your poker format, I learn from hearing what you are thinking. I try to guess how you will act before you act, that has helped me with when to raise and how much to raise. Keep up the great work buddy and good luck on the felt. Jay from central Pa.

Well the places I play at as long as the cards are exposed they are live until you say fold… maybe a fringe rule at other places though
@@lucasongaming554 many many places if either of your cards touch the muck, your hand is dead

Great Q&A :)
I would never support Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Shame
I've seen a hand like ur 1010 be called a dead hand before I'd be careful
You technically mucked the 10s
1st
Nice hit short king 😉, i would be shaking in my boots if i played you
Here are some possible digital publishing suggestions for your book:
• Amazon
• Gumroad
Love the response to questions. Super interesting to hear your perspective on being a pro/vlogger.
Good stuff, liked the Q and A at the end. Only criticism is the ice cream choice....F that company.😊
Technically you mucked your tens full around the 9 minute mark. You do a lot of stupid amateur stuff. Just take a breath and relax
That is not a muck hence why my hand was still live, stupid amateur
@@lexopoker good, good, late that hate flow through you.
Can't give poker advice.... but take this advice... DONT HAVE KIDS!!!! HAHA
That 10's hand was scary. Thought you almost accidentally mucked. Great session and good value bets.
Yeah that’s a muck for sure. I held my breath instantly.
Yep I just commented the same thing
I was not 100% sure because it touched the community cards and not the muck or another players cards.

That question from internetposta “it burs when I pee. Is that something to worry about”. Yes! You got STD bro! Get yourself checked 😂
On the first hand there’s a straddle and you open rip your entire stack, everyone folds. You win $35. You rack up. $1500/hour
