You’re becoming one of my favorite vloggers (along with Mariano…and tbh surpassing Brad Owen)….I spend a lot of idle time at airports and hotels, but I don’t waste time with anything short of intelligent and entertaining content. There’s things you could do to up your game (see below), but there’s a lot you’re doing exceptionally well. You have a really likable personality, you have valuable and translatable insight into hand mechanics in post-flop play and you consistently display an authentic image that show intelligence and wise decision-making. Here’s some more unsolicited and annoying subscriber feedback… One of your strongest assets is your ability to demonstrate that winning poker is not just about good decisions on the felt, it’s what you do away from the table as well. Winning matters…but your transparency and authenticity matter just as much. When you hit more of those patches where the run-good abandons you, your subscribers will continue to solidly continue to root for you because they genuinely connect to the fact that you’re one of the good guys. I don’t worry too much about you losing that focus, but I know it’s valuable and encouraging to know. I have a few suggestions that might be valuable to you. It probably hasn’t escaped your attention that Mariano is gaining steam because he’s a smart winning player…the message to glean there is that increasing your bankroll to play higher stakes is your quickest way to accumulate subs and views. Put together some simple merch (t-shirts, card protectors, hats) and let your subscribers participate in building your bankroll until your KZread income builds enough over the next year or two to fortify your bankroll. Don’t hire someone to do this for you…it’s easier than you think. Yahoo merchant solutions provides an easy to manage enterprise solutions. If you need some help with that, I’d be glad to help you out free of charge. I also have a couple of ideas for slogans for your merch. E-mail me at jon505abq@icloud.com if you want the help. If you haven’t already done so, hiring an editor might be a valuable (if not inevitable and necessary) utility as long as the editor doesn’t overcomplicate the production. However, you should observe that since Andrew Neeme hired an editor, the connection to the subs has suffered and his posting frequency has tanked. If you do get an editor, insist that they put out a production exactly the way you would do it as if you were doing it yourself. In fact, I don’t even wanna know you have an editor…don’t go out of your way to hide it or be cheesey and play it off, like it’s all you, but it’s superfluous and counterproductive. There are good reasons why you shouldn’t let an editor change your format…player point of view is not only more than good enough, it gives you an intimate connection with your viewers. It’s fine to mix in live stream POV with your voiceover, but the player POV (especially in your case) works, don’t mess with that. Remember that Brad Owens has kept it really simple and it works…don’t be afraid to experiment with originality, but also don’t be afraid to leverage proven models. You’re going to be a monster if you stay the course. You have a great work ethic and determination, so I like your chances.

Being able to lose +6k, go home, take a nap, shake it off, them come back and profit for the day really shows lots of mental fortitude on your part. I'd definitely talk to some poker friends about the 86cc hand but in my non professional opinion it seems like a sigh-call. Great rebound buddy and keep up the great work!

Well said. Lex's money management is topnotch. But I think 86cc was a trivial fold. Villain is almost never bluffing. If you're in this spot 20 times, I guarantee that you'll make more money by folding.

@alistairwillock7266

2 жыл бұрын

I think Lex's point about how the villain played his earlier bottom-two-pair as a check-call across 3 streets is a really good one. That type of player who takes the passive line in that spot is less likely to be balanced when he overbet jams the river, and if he _did_ have a bluff there, he's almost certainly going to show the table so that he can get paid later. If you're the player type that goes low-variance with hands like bottom two, you _need_ to advertise your bluffs. So I think the villain is disproportionately likely to be trying to cooler a lower flush there, gives his river sizing.

Just because he folded doesn't mean it is a good fold. Not gone to the solver, but I'd argue this was a bad fold in the majority of cases. Flushes are amazing 'bluff catchers', as they block both your opponents chances he has flushes. Also given the size of the bet and the size of the pot I don't think I ever fold that. Would need some seriously crazy reads, and the reads he gave imo weren't worth a fold.

I love the real talk. It's easy to make vlogs when you're crushing so seeing the humanity of your struggle is refreshing. Like Doyle said, "poker is the hardest way to make an easy living."

And this is why I watch you Lex! I love how real you make it. The thought process, the highs and the lows.... Good days and bad days you show it all and take us along for the ride. Keep up the good work!

Table selection is so important and knowing when the table is too tough. Friday, Saturday, and Holidays during the evening hours are best for me. I have played a lot of sessions from 4 in the afternoon to 4 in the morning. If there is only one table playing at the stakes you want, think about calling around to see if there is more action somewhere else, or consider dropping down where there is more action. Glad you were able to take a nap, eat, and get your head back together and go back to book a win. You can't do anything about bad beats or suck-outs, they are part of the game. Scared money can't win, if you worry about the size of your loss, then you need to drop back down and build your bankroll. Love your vids, keep up the grind.

Good stuff man. For you to be able to regroup and compose yourself after a tough loss mentally and to get the right mindset to then go make some gains to get about even for the day shows how mentally strong you are. You got this ! Glad to be able to be apart of your journey

My man! I love your attitude and perseverance. The hatters don't have your guts. From the start you have been steadfast in achieving your goals and continued to progress every month. I know because I have watched from the time you started. You have always remained true to YOURSELF! I'm very happy to hear of the late-night comeback.

Lex, the reason your vlog is so good is because you show the rough sessions and sometimes bad decisions. Keep it up, brother

Love the videos man, always loved your approach to the game and your mindset with how you break things down, I think your doing things the best way you can and it’s got you to where you are, don’t forget that, keep it up🙌🏻

Always liked your play and honesty. Sometimes things happen, do not be discourage. Sometimes breaks can be good.

Nice come back Lex! Your fan was star-struck, looked like he didn't know what to say. But I'm sure he wasn't expecting to see you at 4am. As a fan who has also met you, thanks for stopping and saying hi to him, it means a lot to us viewers.

Playing smaller stakes and winning, then jumping into a bigger game and losing does you no good in the long run. Finding a middle ground and sticking with that for awhile until you are comfortable then moving up to play steadily at the high stakes makes more sense. As you mentioned allowing the dollar amount to influence your game causes negative thought as you are probably going to talk yourself into a fold more often than not. Don't play games that are going to hurt you if you lose your whole stack or you'll just give it away a little at a time. As one of the best poker blogs on KZread it'll just be a matter of time before your subscriber numbers jump huge. Keep grinding man, thanks for another good video!!

I respectfully disagree. You have to take shots, from time to time. You also have to put more emphasis on game selection when you move up. He took a shot, ran bad, got put in the blender. He recognized it, and left. That's how you move up. Right?

One of the best videos I have seen from you in a while, playing 5-10 seems to be your sweet spot, but playing those bigger games is what you need to do to get better, 100% agree. Loved how you realised after that 86c hand that this game was too big, if your AA won first up and you were not stuck you probably call 86c. Anyway love the honesty of your vlogs poker for a paycheck each day is bloody tough. Keep on truckin Lex 0, love the videos and watching from Australia 🇦🇺 it’s awesome to see you move up stakes 👍👍

And you captured that perfectly in this video. Thanks for another great video and keep up the great work!

I have nothing but praise for you my friend!! First of all, I can tell from watching you on Hustler casino live and your other vlogs that you are a very solid player. Also, for whoever has Criticism for you... Probably doesn't even play $2-5 😂 let alone 10-20-40. This is one of the BEST poker vlogs I've seen because it illustrates the true reality that even the best players struggle and have bad/tough sessions. This game will humble you!! Just like life, we can always improve and learn something new. By the way.. Good fold!! Sometimes it's not about the pots you win, sometimes it's about minimizing the damage and losing the minimum.

Wow! You've had a tough session but I have to say you're observant and discipline. Keep at it you will do well in the long run. Much luck to you

Good fold as played with 86cc. Would recommend a smaller c-bet on those types of boards in the future though. It keeps pots smaller and allows you to continue with a wider portion of your range facing a raise. The large bet polarizes you in a spot where you don't need to polarize with range advantage. The big sizing lets villain put you on a narrower range of strong Kx, AA, sets and flush draws. I think the massive sizing on the river is just him trying to cooler you with the nut flush because he realizes so much of your range will be hands like 64cc, 54cc, 65cc, QJcc etc with the big flop bet. My guess is theoretically this is an MDF call if you are folding most of your flush draws without additional equity on the turn, but sounds like you made a good exploitative read in the moment.

@@charlescorcoran5424 Because of the villain's river sizing. If villain bets 2/3rd pot, then Lex pretty much _has_ to call. But with 1.5x sizing, and with Lex holding pretty much the worst flush he'll ever have there, _plus_ holding the 6 _and_ 8 of clubs which block alot of the villain's middle suited connector holdings, I think that the fold is probably correct. Again, villain jams _1.5x_ against a range that should have a ton of made flushes in it. In the villain's shoes, are you expecting any flush holdings that Lex arrives at the river with to fold? If you don't expect a lot of folds, why blast off? I really don't think the villain is balanced here, I think he's weighted towards value... and all his value has Lex beat.

@Peter-mp7rg

@@charlescorcoran5424 Flop: I think as played with the massive c-bet on flop that a fold could be the right play here. Call can't be terrible, but will put us in tricky spots for sure. Turn: No way we can fold this when picking up additional equity and vs a relatively small sizing. The 8 alone is good sometimes and we can call down vs reasonable sizings on clubs, 8s, and sometimes 6s. Probably makes sense to fold unimproved flush draws here like 97cc meaning we have fewer flushes by the river. River: Vs 160% on the river this becomes a much trickier spot. MDF says we need to call ~ 38% of our range vs this sizing here which makes this a pretty clear theoretical call. This sizing doesn't make much sense unless villain is targeting exactly a flush though. His range should contain a lot of, 22, 33, K2s, K3s, and some flushes (Axcc, and potentially some QJcc, QTcc, or Q9cc if he thinks Lex is too passive). Since his sets and 2 pair obviously want to take a smaller sizing on this board targeting something like AK, he is basically repping Axcc, or one of the partial Qxcc combos. Since most people would typically have one sizing on this board to avoid getting raised as much when they have sets or 2 pair, you have to ask yourself which sizing villain's bluffs will default to? From experience vs TAGs they almost always default to bluffing with the smaller sizing (a clear example of somebody who does this is Rampage - his overbets are ridiculously weighted towards value). This combined with the fact that it's hard to name more than like 6 combos of bluffs that he will mostly just have at low frequencies (3 of 54s, and 3 of Ac5x) makes this sizing seem very underbluffed. So in general I think most villains are underbluffing with this sizing, and we can exploitatively overfold.

This is a tough spot, no doubt. I am going back to the observation Lex made about the player from previous hands... called 2p without raising. With just that info, what is villain blasting off with a raise post flop, bet post turn and blasted post river when the board texture has changed? I don't see a consistent story from the villain here which would have just tilted me towards a call... and yeah, maybe I would have got stacked

What a way to end the day, from losing a ton to winning a little, way to go Lex

always love your content Lex and more so how transparent you are about everything, from the roll to your emotions not everyone is like that. really does show the rough and the smooth. the 86 hand was a doozy. one part of me thinks he probably has the nut flush the other says he potentially turns a hand like AK with the Ac into a bluff. we'll never know but personally I think right fold at the time regardless what he was holding because it seemed to be draining you more mentally than anything. you managed to shake that off and turn a profit on the same day, that's a huge turn around and shows how much you've grown. keep up the great work brother, don't let the negative Nellie's of the world bring you down ❤️👍

A good phrase to remember, If you wouldn't take advice from someone, why would you take criticism from them? The criticism comes from people that could never do what you do, no value in it. Great videos man, enjoy watching your journey. I can only hope to learn something as we go.

“Sometimes you have to be able to fold the best hand” - Phil Helmouth quote I believe. I know this was aimed at tournament play but can still apply if an $11K loss could seriously derail you. Whilst MUCH easier to do on line ( where I largely play) having picked your level for the night try and convert pot / bet sizes into blinds helped me move up when dollar size felt too big. Love your channel and stay brave you want to be a winner in life generally and because of that even if you made a decent living grinding I don’t think you would be happy. Good luck Lex

I love the way you can walk away from the game when you just “feel” it’s not happening for you 😊 Then, to be able to go at it again a few hours later, and cancel out the earlier losses was just great 😊👍

First off, another great video - thanks! :) Now, kudos to you for knowing you needed to stop playing earlier. Further kudos to you for feeling like you were ready to get back into it - and getting out of the hole for the "day"... way to go! :)

@@mattbrown5013 Lexo's been pretty honest with stuff he didn't have to - so I'll take him at his word... I agree that it would have been nicer to get to see it, though! :)

Great read to fold the flush. Your analysis is solid.

Its alright! Keep the grind up! Don't worry bout them swings baby!

Your bang on with your assessment of yourself. I feel like 5 / 10 is about where your comfortable but also challenged. You are still in the early part of your journey, most people watching would have played for years longer and not reached their comfort zone at 5 / 10. Myself included. That's credit to you for working hard and taking it seriously. 👏

hell yeah going back a second time is the degen action I like to see! Nice comeback!

Screw what anyone else thinks. Keep doing you. You’re clearly self aware and want to better yourself. If people don’t like that then that’s their problem.
