Very good decisionmaking Lex. The moment you sit in a game that deep against other skilled players ,late at night and you start even thinking about racking up- its the correct move.
congrats on 200 vids!!! I always watch your channel, Ive learned alot from watching your style of play even though some would call u a NIT lol, I think you are TAG, look forward to the next 200 and since u booked a big win buy Rouge a steak dinner lbvs
Jamming the AA is the right play out of position. You can easily catch a scary flop and either get bluffed or be forced to check it down. There is $4,000 in the middle already (that's more than 25% of your opponent's stack) and if he folds it's not a bad result. Even if he has KK, you are 80-20 which means on average you will win 60% of his stack. Here you can win nearly half of that without seeing a flop at all potentially. I think because your opponent has already committed more than 25% of his stack, he would make a huge mistake by folding to an all in preflop so shoving is the play. If your opponent is willing to put 25% of his stack preflop then fold to a reraise, he's got a major leak in his game IMO.
If you knew you had a big edge on the player with the AA hand and you think he’s never 5 betting without AA. Is there ever a chance you can rep kk or qq or aks and get him to have to fold the best hand? If you saw his hand isn’t that the optimal play ?
If you actually listen to all the professionals and experts they say the threshold is about 30%. Once you put in 30%ish of your stack, you should pretty much be going with it. 25% and fold is actually perfectly fine.
Mr. Lex.... I have been watching your TH-cam channel since the beginning.... You strategies and intelligence you have for the NLH is outstanding... I try to base my play off of your strategies and do it the way you do it ...... but sometimes it doesn't work out that way ....... but nevertheless ....I would like you to know that you are my favorite player of all time..... your biggest fan ....... River Rat 🐀 .....
no messing around here lex, i would have done the same thing and jammed with the aces. if he had kings and got lucky thats poker but knowing that u went all in with the best hand, is the best thing u could have done mentally.
My only thought process is that if you think they have Aces, while holding aces, then you call and try to bluff a set of Kings, Queens, 888s, etc. That's the only way, most of the time you'll be getting it in regardless, but at least leave some room for a bluff.
If you knew you had a big edge on the player with the AA hand and you think he’s never 5 betting without AA. Is there ever a chance you can rep kk or qq or aks and get him to have to fold the best hand? If you saw his hand isn’t that the optimal play ?
Cuz how many hands do we see without most of, if not all the community cards....Poker vloggers don't show hands that end preflop without the run out. He knew it'd chop, but this allows him more content to show.
absolutely the AA vs AA hand is a six bet jam for you. He probably has AA but you don't know for sure so once you do the six bet he has to know you had AA and if he had KK or AK he would have to fold
I would jam. Getting fancy and flatting with AA there is way too suspicious and like you said if the board runs out badly, you’re deep enough you could get bluffed off the best hand
On that 5bet hand, I prefer you just flat. No one ever is balanced in 5 and 6 betting, if you lay some traps it makes you harder to play against. When you 6bet jam it looks like 3 hands, black aces, red aces, or red and black aces lol.
Interesting spot in that AA-AA hand when you realize he has AA100% of the time. Since you know you chop if you jam there is no reason to jam, you should call and then try to put maneuver him in the run out. See if you can wait to jam on a Broadway card or 3suited cards. Would he just call anything at this point? Probably, but it is still higher EV than 100% chop. Super interesting to think about what to do in AA-AA. I’d probably jam to incase I’m not against AA anyway, that’s the easier option for sure.
Moving to the st. pete area soon. As an amateur who has studied enough to be profitable in 1/2, any recs on where to play or advice as I begin a potential poker "career"?
What is your 6bet bluff range? AK suited? Hardly possible. Unless you're super agro or your opponenet is completely incapable of folding I think we should be flatting against the 5bet. Against the average player Id strongly consider folding KK against a 6bet jam. The "what if its a bad board" is old man coffee logic. Thats poker, sometimes we're going to have hard decisions.
Lex O big fan! In the wrestling community as well we run deep brother always rooting for you hopefully some day i can meet you and we could play together.
Definitely would’ve jammed just as you did aces versus aces. However, I guess I’m more “chicken” than you are… I would’ve taken the CHOP over running it twice. 😅😅
luv the vids...keep em coming....i luv when u said ive been buying in deeper and deeper at these games and then say im not studied at deep stack poker...its kinda like an oxy moron
Not sure why you didnt want to just chop when he also showed AA? Seemed like you wanted blood but if you want blood i dont see the reason to running it twice
Why would you run the AAs twice instead of chopping like your opponent offered? lol. Did you want to have a horrible run out with running suites that give your opponent a flush? I don't get it..Does anyone else?
I think it's always a call after a 5 bet there. A 6 bet just looks way too strong there. You prob only do that with AA in that spot giving a potential out to KK , QQ or maybe AK. By just calling and with a bit of luck for a good flop, the money is going in on the flop anyway. So no need to give him a spot to potentially hero fold KK or QQ or AK. Also, been meaning to ask. What breed is Rogue? 😍
I've been running so bad for like 2 months... Card dead as hell and can't catch shish when I have cards... Think I'm going to quit for at least a month I dinno
That KQdd was an ultra punt... It's not awful to just call a raise in SB with KQdd... You're afraid of 'being squeezed out' by the BB. But instead you decided to ultra punt $2.5k? If the BB squeezes just re-assess, call or fold. Don't overthink it. If you squeeze, note the initial raisers stack... and then calling off $2.5k with KQ? ... Not great bob. Love the vlogs! (also commenting before I know how rest of session goes)
If you put him on AA for almost certain while you too have AA, why not call and try to bluff on some scary board. Make him rethink and perhaps fold. Worst case you chop and if you were wrong , well then….
Congrats Lex on 200 Vlogs. You've grown a ton as a player and what a great cash-out for the 200th! Well done.
why not chop the aces vs aces hand vs running out two boards when more than likely it will be chopped any way?
Congratulations on 200 vlogs Lex! I have seen every episode of only two vloggers, you and Brad Owen. You're in good company.
I would just call, hard to balance a 6 bet range especially that deep
Great session, Lex! Love your aggressive nature. I’m always pulling for you.
Good luck on the Live!
Congrats on 200 vlogs bro been watching since the beginning keep it up! ❤
great vlog. I watch em all, owen, rampage, vibes, and you have the best content!!!
Very good decisionmaking Lex. The moment you sit in a game that deep against other skilled players ,late at night and you start even thinking about racking up- its the correct move.
Good luck lex 🎉 I like watch your vlog you do a great explanation of your reason why you play certain hands. Win or lose which is great
congrats on 200 vids!!! I always watch your channel, Ive learned alot from watching your style of play even though some would call u a NIT lol, I think you are TAG, look forward to the next 200 and since u booked a big win buy Rouge a steak dinner lbvs
Job well done Lex. I would love to see you on Husler Live in the future. Good luck again!!!❤

Looking forward to seeing you on HCLive again. Nice win!
Been anxiously waiting for you to put out some content. Definitely wasn't disappointed.
I liked your video only because I couldn't love it. Congrats man on the big win!
200 videos! Wow Lex, congrats on how far you have come in poker and TH-cam.
Great session for this one.. good luck on the upcoming trip to the west.
Can’t wait to see you on HCL, always super entertaining!
Sitting home, bored I need to watch something meaningful on TH-cam thank you lex
Nice. It’s Tuesday, get a job.
Agreed. Work.
Nice session, Lex. Keep up the grind.
Mr. Lex....
I have been watching your TH-cam channel since the beginning....
You strategies and intelligence you have for the NLH is outstanding...
I try to base my play off of your strategies and do it the way you do it ......
but sometimes it doesn't work out that way .......
but nevertheless ....I would like you to know that you are my favorite player of all time.....
your biggest fan .......

😂So funny, I said it before your announcement at the end of your vid.😂
no messing around here lex, i would have done the same thing and jammed with the aces. if he had kings and got lucky thats poker but knowing that u went all in with the best hand, is the best thing u could have done mentally.
Never put on the table that which you are not ready walk away from! Well done Lex!
Why not just chop it if you both have aces? What’s the point of going twice?
Could get a flush on one board, which would give the winner 75% of the pot.
Or lose it all, dumb to not chop
With king queen of diamonds in the small blind, I think it’s OK to call the raise and see the flop. That hand plays pretty well Postflop.
Makes sense AA or KK or AK jamming all in is the play in a loose caller. No question
Yes! Thanks for the upload. Perfect Timing. Hopefully you win 😄
Excellent session and video. Congrats on 200!
Great F ing content Lex, congratulations on 200
My only thought process is that if you think they have Aces, while holding aces, then you call and try to bluff a set of Kings, Queens, 888s, etc. That's the only way, most of the time you'll be getting it in regardless, but at least leave some room for a bluff.
I'll be there too...I won't be shaking hands. You guys just act like buddies ok!
Congrats to you Lex good win looking forward to watching you live at Husler
Great read on AA hand. Good move to cash out when you did. 🎉
GG Lex , keep crushing man ! cheers ! 🍻
Great Job, Lex ! Hopefully I see you one day at the Hard Rock and say Hi.
Wow, how sweet was that? Pura Vida from Costa Rica!
Would also jam, but would chop without running it twice. Why chance the flush suckout when you have no edge?
I've heard outside of Vegas gets softer during the WSOP.
If you knew you had a big edge on the player with the AA hand and you think he’s never 5 betting without AA. Is there ever a chance you can rep kk or qq or aks and get him to have to fold the best hand? If you saw his hand isn’t that the optimal play ?
Nice 👍 I’m tryin to get that money too. My bank roll is shit though. Still 1/2 rec playing. Gotta keep the day job
would probably just call the five bet then jam flops. also would only run it once against aces, or just chop it pre
Like Raspberry, Grape, and Strawberry, I WOULD JAM.
COME ON DOWN TO HOUSTON LEX!!! you're videos are awesome bro!!!
Your buddy right here...Will give you $1000 for doing him a favour.
Can you explain the logic of not chopping the AA v. AA hand?
Cuz how many hands do we see without most of, if not all the community cards....Poker vloggers don't show hands that end preflop without the run out. He knew it'd chop, but this allows him more content to show.
absolutely the AA vs AA hand is a six bet jam for you. He probably has AA but you don't know for sure so once you do the six bet he has to know you had AA and if he had KK or AK he would have to fold
I would jam. Getting fancy and flatting with AA there is way too suspicious and like you said if the board runs out badly, you’re deep enough you could get bluffed off the best hand
$20,000 x 50 buy ins = 1million bankroll. You were playing 1/2 5years ago. Good job bro
the more confident u play the more aggressive u play, love it!
Lex, since “cash out” is a two-word verb phrase, perhaps you should all-caps “out” in the title to have to match the all-capped “CASH”.
Lex, wow man wow
Always jam if you get reraised holding A A
On that 5bet hand, I prefer you just flat. No one ever is balanced in 5 and 6 betting, if you lay some traps it makes you harder to play against. When you 6bet jam it looks like 3 hands, black aces, red aces, or red and black aces lol.

Super interesting to think about what to do in AA-AA. I’d probably jam to incase I’m not against AA anyway, that’s the easier option for sure.
"BE WATER
THATS A SWEEEET TATTOO
Moving to the st. pete area soon. As an amateur who has studied enough to be profitable in 1/2, any recs on where to play or advice as I begin a potential poker "career"?
running the AA twice seems douchey
Why did you run Aces VS Aces twice? Last time I got Aces VS Aces, I ended up loosing on the river. It's not worth it seeing the board.
What is your 6bet bluff range? AK suited? Hardly possible. Unless you're super agro or your opponenet is completely incapable of folding I think we should be flatting against the 5bet. Against the average player Id strongly consider folding KK against a 6bet jam.
The "what if its a bad board" is old man coffee logic. Thats poker, sometimes we're going to have hard decisions.
Do you tip and if so when (after each winning hand) and how much?
Lex O big fan! In the wrestling community as well we run deep brother always rooting for you hopefully some day i can meet you and we could play together.
Definitely would’ve jammed just as you did aces versus aces. However, I guess I’m more “chicken” than you are… I would’ve taken the CHOP over running it twice. 😅😅
Why run it twice over chop? There is no ev gain, you're just inducing variance for no good reason.
Probably for the vlog. I mean he’s doing this for us to watch.
I think it's obvious. He did it for the vlog so that he can say he played the biggest pot of his life.
What? He asked about running it twice, which is not a good decision. The jam is, though, vlog or not.
Establishing Dominance. Mind games.
Possible flush
AA vs AA, jamming is the right call. You should just have chopped. No need to waste time running it twise.
luv the vids...keep em coming....i luv when u said ive been buying in deeper and deeper at these games and then say im not studied at deep stack poker...its kinda like an oxy moron
100% I would also have 6 bet all in out of position. I would have ran it once though.
🎉 #200 🎉 congratulations
LEX O IS JUST AN OFF DUTY...COP.... JUST A COP
Interesting wanting to run it twice all and all great video 🎉
I’m the mush who loses same hand all-ins at an abnormal rate, so I would chop if possible. Completely understand why you’d run it twice for the vlog.
Well played with the KdQd 😂
Here's All my grandparents MONEY I've never worked for.
NICE ENDING WITH TWO OF MANS BEST FRIENDS CRASHING IN THE CAR AFTER A HOT DAY AT THE BEACH
Congratulations on 2nd century bro!!!
Jam the Aces. Even if he folds, that's $3800 uncontested.
How often do you get aces every session?
Congrats on 200 Vlogs!, can u share what apps u use to track poker records?
Good stuff!
Not sure why you didnt want to just chop when he also showed AA? Seemed like you wanted blood but if you want blood i dont see the reason to running it twice
Why did you not win with A A??? Did he have the same
Lol, stop it at the moment you did not think he had aces 😂
Why would you run the AAs twice instead of chopping like your opponent offered? lol. Did you want to have a horrible run out with running suites that give your opponent a flush? I don't get it..Does anyone else?
In that AA vs AA hand will they just let you chop? Maybe at those stakes?
I’m sure I would get quartered. Lol GL friend 😊
What are those cards and how can I buy them
Great job Lex!
Wow. Quite the rush, Lex.
Remember....These hands are... once a few hands
I think it's always a call after a 5 bet there. A 6 bet just looks way too strong there. You prob only do that with AA in that spot giving a potential out to KK , QQ or maybe AK. By just calling and with a bit of luck for a good flop, the money is going in on the flop anyway. So no need to give him a spot to potentially hero fold KK or QQ or AK.
Also, been meaning to ask. What breed is Rogue? 😍
idk why when he offered to just chop it u said no i wanna run it twice?
I've been running so bad for like 2 months... Card dead as hell and can't catch shish when I have cards... Think I'm going to quit for at least a month I dinno
14:30 That guy was way too nice to Lex. I woulda told Lex FU, run it once. I keep coming back to his videos from time to time but it gets so cringe.
Seems to me running boards with AA vs AA is like flipping a coin for $15k. Are you that kind of gambler? I don't think so, so why not chop?
If you give yourself a rule of no bluffs for first 5 hands, you would log higher wins.
Well done bro! 👊
That KQdd was an ultra punt... It's not awful to just call a raise in SB with KQdd... You're afraid of 'being squeezed out' by the BB. But instead you decided to ultra punt $2.5k?

Congratulations, great come back win!!!!😊
why'd you want to run it twice with aces vs aces? why not just chop it?
The only thing to do is 6 bet jam aces
Jam the AA and run it one time. If one doesn't play it this way they need to quit playing.
