Can’t wait to see that vlog! The final table is set for may 25th in Vegas. I wish you would of made it that would of been awesome content to see you at a final table
Absolutely the correct fold. I see so many vloggers call that for content and wind up punting off a stack. Rampage did that in a tournament calling down someone that had trips thinking his A high was good. Immediately in a different mindset. You did the right thing.
Hey Lex, Good content like always 👍. I have a tip for you. I got this from Fedor which is a German Poker millionaire: when you have a hard decision to make do not only consider the hand run out and your history with the player. Just watch the player for two minutes straight. Fedor said if it is not a bluff the player starts relaxing at around 45 seconds. Don‘t know if U knew this but he said he made alot of money by warchting his opponents for longer times
Honestly I think I have learned the most from watching your Vlogs it helps just watching how you play out hands you break it down really good the mindset one needs to be in and how to choose lines that will get you paid.
Lex your hand analysis as u talk thru ur thoughts imo is putting you very near the top of the poker vloggers market. I love watching Ethan punt, and chuckle at Brads boy next door image … but for pure poker pro swings and roundabouts ur killing it 👌🤩👍🏆
That last hand I would listen to Kenny Rogers when he said - The secret to surviving is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep, cause every hand is winner and every hand is a loser 🎶🎵
40K subscribers! Always look forward to your posts Lex. So much better analysis and explanation than so many other vlogs. Don't sweat the stakes, Brad Owen did not get where he is because of big stakes-in fact I think it hurts him a bit now. It's all about personality and good poker analysis. Keep them coming.
on that AT hand I was putting him on QQ or JJ and maybe even KQ with a diamond and I would of called! However, after your analysis, which I learn soooo much from, made me think you made the correct fold and he had a set with pocket 8's, 9's or more likely a set of Kings and he was trying to extract value from your Ace. Thanks for the excellent hand analysis and content Lex!
Definitely a fold with A10. Probably should have folded on the turn using the same logic but in the moment I get that it's tough to do. Great vlog and great session!
Based on your description of the opponent in AThh hand, that is definitely a fold. If he’s a tight, good player he has you here all day. Would he ever triple barrel QQ or JJ on that board? Once the flush gets there, he has no bluffs that would do this, especially since he could have several flushes of his own. His sizing also screams value from a tighter player, he could value bet all holdings that beat you for this size. Good fold, Lex
With pros to act post flop A10 is definitely a tough spot with so many value combos the opponent can have. Fold pre-flop, and nice fold on the river! A dollar saved is more than a dollar earned 😎 it’s not about being results oriented we play to make the best decisions time after time. Love your thought process
Awesome content. I’m close to Atlantic City and have taken a 10 year break from poker. Bankroll is ready and I’m headed down there this weekend to Borgota! Your videos are insightful and give me plenty to ponder and consider esp out of it for a while. Keep up the great content! Lastly folding A10 If he hasn’t played in two hours either bluffing or monster hand. Not worth it to consider you made a positive session.
Yo Lex I met you at 10-25 you told me your channel when you left and I subscribed. The Asian dude who’s chips you used for a shot or something? Well cheers buddy keep livin the dream!
I think A10 in the last hand was definitely a fold either preflop or on the turn out of position against a seemingly tight range. You will almost always be behind and when you are ahead, you don't really know it and value bet.
I dont think people realize how good that value raise is, when you said he bet the $200 i was thinking we are good here so often but never even considered value raising. dont think that will work in my local 2/5 game but nice to see you making moves in the bigger games and getting value other wouldnt!
Feels like a good fold there on the river. So many hands beat you there. All you have is a bluff catcher at that point, and considering how tight the opponent had been playing, he almost always has it there, esp. with that bet sizing.
Should've re raised the turn. Put the pressure on him and maybe get a river check. If he calls then continues to barrel you, you know you're losing then. Even a small min raise would've given you the control. Just my opinion mind
Would love to hear about what you do for food during long sessions. When I used to grind for hours I would bring protein bars and buy casino food, but that got old and eats into your winnings.
Subscribed from early in your vlogging career...lol Dude so happy for you and where you've grown to. Liked the vlog about how you started and almost quitting. Def want to see the tourney vlog. Should do more of those. Appreciate you bro. Keep going and banking you shark you...lol
Part of me feels like if you called the turn and only a half pot bet on the river you should call right? BUT BUT BUT you did a nice analysis and broke it down. Tight player who has hardly played a hand in hours, 3bet pre and bet every street on a board with an A and a K and a flush out there. So this guy is obviously showing massive strength. It's nice to hit top pair but obv there is a lot more you have to consider. I think it was the correct fold but I might have tried talking to him, maybe he might have given something away if he engaged in a quick convo with you lol. Your game is really improving buddy!
Great content!! It is good to see your progression to higher stack tables and honing your skill. Looking foward to your Friday tourney vlog. Thanks for posting
Great fold. All you beat there are QQ. Maybe JJ!! There are way more hands that beat you on that board… 1425 seams like great value for AK or maybe KQ of diamonds.
just wondering, since you dont usually show hands like small pocket pairs or suited connectors, how do you play them? Are you folding preflop? Or calling preflop then folding flop? Limping? Just curious because as most players know, limping is generally a weak play, so I try not to limp hands like small pocket pairs and small suited connectors or one-gappers, so that means I'm coming in with a single raise. But these hands can be very hard to play as they miss a lot and when you get multiple callers behind it's almost impossible to bluff, so as a result, I try to play these hands in position and I base it on the action before me. Just wondering how you approach these hands if you wanna share. Anyone feel free to chime in!
Rogue does not like the elevator. Good fold. On your own advice in an earlier vlog, top pair isn’t worth much facing continued aggression and many possible better hands.
In the 2/5 streets the A10dd is the way I would have played it. Of course the dynamics change at the 10/25 level but the way you described villain it's a fold. Such an under bluffed line by most player types and especially the person you described!
I would of called that a10 but that’s why I’m not a professional full time player. Nice damage control. Keep it up. Best poker player I know was a guy that folded a lot of subpar hands.
Lacking any live action read on your opponent I think your analysis on the A-10h and the subsequent fold was the right decision. I would like to think I would have made the same play. Kudos!
A10 hearts...It was a Good Call to Loose at least minimal. History of that Player, and listening to what you said....It was a Great Hero Fold. GOOD food, he had 2pair or 3 of a kind...awsome Fold. A10 are great to see if it Hits...Ull get paid off..if you had a Flush draw..then it worth paying all the way to the Ocean especially no pair and you have Nuts Flush possible Draw..👍😀🤙💪😀
I like your videos..don’t chase to play high stakes because we want someone we can relate with..I realized that vloggers who play high stakes tend to pull up huge bluffs to impress us..bluffs that even Garret can’t pull.
Glad to see you back in Florida and looking relaxed in your own space. Good session and good fold with the A/10. Looking forward to the next one as always.
Hells no man. You shouldn’t have called. That ace 10 is in the bottom half of your range for a 3 bet pot (guessing). The MDF is 67% and given that he is a tight player and your live reads, you absolutely should have folded. Maybe at AQ you could call but even that… Good lay down.
Lex, on a very tight player, it’s just to bad you didn’t get the opportunity to get out earlier. The only hand you could have beat against a tight-ass is Q-Q or J-J. It’s more likely he had Aces, Kings or Ace-King. A disciplined solid fold……great job. The big winner was Rogue, getting to do his doggie business when you got home! You can tell he wanted to get out!
During the outro looking at his body and tail language I think Rogue might have been either a tad bit put off by the lack of familiarity of the new digs or he was a bit pissed at you for something. He did seem to perk back up a bit when he saw the grass tho so maybe just a bit of extra love will get him back to his old cheerful self. Keep up the positive parenting!
I know it might sound like a doing question to you but how do you keep your opponents from seeing your screen when you vlog? Any seat from 3-7 the people next to you only have to glance over right? I have noticed even privacy screens don’t block the screen from top like they do looking from the side
Not a bad session alil over a thousand $ profit.. alil rough at the end that was def a tough spot! I feel like he has you with the flush or AK? Keep up the good work Lexo an can't wait to see your run in the tourney.. 💯😎✌️
I think it’s a goo fold but I play a lot lower and any bet on the river is usually not a bluff. One hand I thought about that you didn’t say was KdQoff but I still think it was a good fold
Correct fold with A10. Don't think you should have ever been in this hand. Great videos. Surprised you don't have more subscribers. You will get there.
Tune in Friday for the $3,500 Main Event Deep Run!!
You finally binked 40k subscribers. Congrats
Can’t wait to see that vlog! The final table is set for may 25th in Vegas. I wish you would of made it that would of been awesome content to see you at a final table
My guess is you get eliminated in 81st place for around $10,400
@@AmericanScumCleanser good guess lol I know there was like 300 something players returning to day 3
AT hand:
Fold pre vs him based on your description.
Flop is a call.
Turn fold
River fold
Absolutely the correct fold. I see so many vloggers call that for content and wind up punting off a stack. Rampage did that in a tournament calling down someone that had trips thinking his A high was good. Immediately in a different mindset. You did the right thing.
Agreed… thin his opponent has A-K or better there for sure.
Felt like AK with the king of diamonds. I feel like he would Pol harder with KK or AA on the turn.
You mean Rampunt 🏈🏈🏈 with the A6 of hearts?
Rampage has no logic to any of his plays, or if he does, he doesn't explain it any useful way.
Turn call bad. River fold good. You were crushed
Masterful raise with the ladies there Lex fairplay!
Yes, great play there. These thin value spots are a key to a winning player.
Very nice play!
🔥🔥🔥

Great fold and overall really confident play Lex. Good to see Rogue liking the new digs 😀
Great session. Your reads are usually great but the one with the QQ was impeccable. Bravo.
Rogue seems a little sad in this episode:(

Yep. Fold, all day

Thanks for keeping your videos up to date!
I would have def called the turn with TTs in the first hand and gotten stacked. Good play!
We don't know what villain had since he didn't show. You can't take his word that he had aces (its poker everyone lies)

Lastly folding A10 If he hasn’t played in two hours either bluffing or monster hand. Not worth it to consider you made a positive session.
At the end I think folding is a better option. The only way you could have saved them chips it to find that very tight fold preflop
Yo Lex I met you at 10-25 you told me your channel when you left and I subscribed. The Asian dude who’s chips you used for a shot or something? Well cheers buddy keep livin the dream!

Honestly. That value raise was Garrett Adelstein level of play. Elite play.
Try it in your game and see? gl.
Another nice upload ! Looking forward to seeing tournament video of your play and see the breakdown of the hands !
Feels like a good fold there on the river. So many hands beat you there. All you have is a bluff catcher at that point, and considering how tight the opponent had been playing, he almost always has it there, esp. with that bet sizing.
Good game Lex! I liked how you played. You kept controll. Nice to see.
Thanks for getting into the action w/o the parking lot intro......
Should've re raised the turn. Put the pressure on him and maybe get a river check. If he calls then continues to barrel you, you know you're losing then. Even a small min raise would've given you the control. Just my opinion mind
Would love to hear about what you do for food during long sessions. When I used to grind for hours I would bring protein bars and buy casino food, but that got old and eats into your winnings.
Lex, amazing hand-read of that aggressive pro who called your pumpkin check-raise on the river! 👏🏻
Subscribed from early in your vlogging career...lol Dude so happy for you and where you've grown to. Liked the vlog about how you started and almost quitting. Def want to see the tourney vlog. Should do more of those. Appreciate you bro. Keep going and banking you shark you...lol
Dogs can be so skeptical of cameras🤣😅
Nice run Lex. Rouge couldn't wait to leave the elevator lol. I'm looking forward to seeing the tournament Vlog!!!! See you soon 😊
Impressive play with queens. The check raise!
Thanks for editing out Rogue's crap. Was worried for a second.
last hand...based on his history...Good fold!...Welcome back Home Lex
Part of me feels like if you called the turn and only a half pot bet on the river you should call right? BUT BUT BUT you did a nice analysis and broke it down.

Lex, agree about your post-game analysis about the size of your raise when you flopped, but what a turn card! 🤗
Loved it!
Right fold at the end
Love the rationale behind the value check raise with QQ on the river. Awesome play worthy of smashing the like button!!
Rogue walks so proudly lol, what a cutie he is, can't wait till Friday😁
Great content!! It is good to see your progression to higher stack tables and honing your skill. Looking foward to your Friday tourney vlog. Thanks for posting

Keep it up Lex. Excited to see the tournament
I like the ace 10 fold. I think you saved yourself some money. I believe he had Ace King or pocket kings.
Yes.. you kinda set yourself up for the large fold.. correct move
Rogue says good fold with the AT! 👍
Congratulations on 40K dude love the videos.
Sorry for the typo. I meant to say that *you are probably not calling the 3 bet pre flop. Again, just my thoughts
Good fold. after analyzing the bluffs & value hands; look at the opponent for a minute or two for any tells.
Lacking any live action read on your opponent I think your analysis on the A-10h and the subsequent fold was the right decision. I would like to think I would have made the same play. Kudos!
A10 hearts...It was a Good Call to Loose at least minimal. History of that Player, and listening to what you said....It was a Great Hero Fold. GOOD food, he had 2pair or 3 of a kind...awsome Fold.

Glad to see you back in Florida and looking relaxed in your own space. Good session and good fold with the A/10. Looking forward to the next one as always.
Can't wait for tournament vlog
Yep fold was key to playing smart!
I think you made the correct lay down with the A 10
Congrats on 40k subs!
Great disciplined fold!!!👊🏽
cant wait for the deep run in the next vlog 👀
Good fold at the end

Well done as usual. Good session and I really like the quick turnaround you do on the videos and keeping current. Keep it up!
Very nice play with the Queens
Btw it was cool meeting you at TCH Dallas last month.
Great high steaks action.
Can’t wait for the video about the hard rock tournament.
$1 million for first place gets the blood flowing!
Look forward to your video Friday.
Great video Lex! I would’ve folded also!
I know it might sound like a doing question to you but how do you keep your opponents from seeing your screen when you vlog? Any seat from 3-7 the people next to you only have to glance over right? I have noticed even privacy screens don’t block the screen from top like they do looking from the side
I enjoy all your play and comments
I love your river bet for value with queens.
I appreciate your quick turnaround on these vids. Be well.
I love Rouge. He is the goodest boy
Rogue seemed much more happy to see you when you played the WPT event. Looks like a good pooch
A 10 Hearts hand, I would have definitely called the 4 bet however I would have folded on the flop
Keep up the great work LEX. Great to have you back at home field!
Can't wait for Friday ;)
Good fold,he had you!!!
Great VLOG today dude. Tough spots, you done awesome to cash out for a win.
Not a bad session alil over a thousand $ profit.. alil rough at the end that was def a tough spot! I feel like he has you with the flush or AK? Keep up the good work Lexo an can't wait to see your run in the tourney.. 💯😎✌️
Plz include opponents hands when possible!? I'm particularly wanting to know what the dude had when you had Q,Q and you value bet $1000 🤔 thanks lex!♡
Always always a pleasure wishing you nothing but the best
We need to get Rouge a harness leash!
Last hand good fold
Congratulations on 40k Subs!!
I think you were behind the whole time with the A10hh. Opps had AK
Queens hand was very good.
I think it’s a goo fold but I play a lot lower and any bet on the river is usually not a bluff. One hand I thought about that you didn’t say was KdQoff but I still think it was a good fold
After playing all around the country lex, do you think hard rock has the best cards, I don’t think any other casino is even close!
nice to see you in happier state being back home. nice session.
Correct fold with A10. Don't think you should have ever been in this hand. Great videos. Surprised you don't have more subscribers. You will get there.
good fold last hand
Great content as always
Love your videos bro. Good fold with ace ten💪🏽
Great fold with ATh
