Hey Lex, love the videos man, especially the intro to this one. Thinking about starting a VLOG, but just had 2 questions. 1) What are somethings that have helped you improve your video editing. 2) What are some of things you did to improve your game to make it a full time job?

Slow down when going over these hands please

Lex, you're quickly becoming a favorite poker Vlogger. Keep em coming!!

I really appreciate the honesty and transparency about your motivations. I was already a fan but now I'm even more so.

The way you said you dont give value to the community opened my eyes a little. Made me a little proud of what i do. Im a mobile mechanic. Helps a lot of people out and im fair.

It's refreshing when you are honest like you have been with us on why you started vlogging. Of course making some passive income has to be a goal. Look at other youtubers Rampage. He justified quitting his job post college to his parents because he would have the youtube passive income incase poker wasn't working out. You are a competitor dude, and this is another arena to compete. ...keep doing your thing

Always a snap click when my favorite vlogger puts out a video!

My favourite vlogger in a sea of average vloggers. Thanks for your work Lex .

love this vids lex i moved out here just a few minutes away from the hardrock with little to no money to try and pursue my poker dream, its what i love and i dont see myself doing anything else, its awesome to see these vids they inspire me and teach me a lot and honestly im thinking about starting up my own vlog, keep up the good work hopefully will get to meet you before u leave to Texas!! good luck and keep up the great work!!!

Your poker vlog as well as other vloggers often provide me with assurance that I am as good as I say I am and even better than most if not all of you vloggers out there. I do have a different style of playing and betting that is very efficient for me. I double my initial stack approximately 85% of the time on average ( No BS!) within the first hour. I've done this on a consistent basis for a couple of years now. (P. S.) I don't play GTO poker.

Glad you started this vlog, Lex. It’s one of my absolute favorites!

Appreciate the vids lex. One of best blog channels I’ve seen

Awesome reasoning for starting a poker Vlog, and I believe you'll climb the ranks to be 1 of the top poker KZreadR! Great content Lex, keep it up and looking forward to your Texas endeavor!

Loved the video and explanation of how you got started. Keep stacking! 🃏

You are now represent the region florida #1 poker vloger. I always wonder hows poker in florida.. But now i get to see such 5/10 games through yor videos... In that reason i give you thumbs up

It's the blue eyes, huge biceps, honesty and awesome music. Keep it up!

Appreciate the honesty in the intro . Always enjoy your content and your style of play . Wish I could sit down and learn some from you .

Lex, I’m a high school English teacher and poker is one of my passions. People have MORE than one way to serve humanity. If you don’t do it in your job, you can do it in your volunteering. Don’t let your brother pigeon hole you like that!

Saw that first video and was surprised when I realized it was your first! I watch them all and think you’re a pretty smart player keep you the good work bro!

One of my favorite vloggers! Keep up the content!

Enjoy all the vlogs, win lose or draw. Keep on producing and we'll keep watching. 💪 😁🤪

Great videos Lex, thanks for sharing and keep them coming!!!.

Hey Lex. Been watching for about a month now. Love the content. Watched you social league podcast recently. Great stuff. From the CrossFit side of the conversation, I used to work under Jimi Letchford in the Marines. Solid dude and his mindset was great to see as an example to follow. Your poker mindset is like that for me. Keep learning... Stay humble. Cheers!

Incredible comment, I agree to the fullest extent to the last sentence! Shout out to the self less warriors in all walks of life 🪖!

Love the videos! Yours quickly became my favorites! Even the OGs of poker vlogs pale in comparison. Glad to see them coming twice a week now. People pay a lot of money for entertainment - if poker is one of their chosen forms of entertainment, then they are getting value from playing - do athletes or musicians add value? As others are alluding to here, I would love to see a video of how you edit and publish your videos. I bumped into you near the Bellagio cage in June.

I really like how you explained why you are doing what you are doing. I really like your vlogs Lex!

Thanks for the content. I replied to your comment on Brad's video a couple of days ago. What you said at the beginning about making content for people who can't play, I appreciate. When Covid hit my casino closed poker and they haven't reopened it since. Even though we live in one of the most untouched by covid places on the planet. Appreciate the videos to help keep my head in the game for when I can play again.

Appreciate you talking about the daily grid bro. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you

Excellent work brother. Your vlogs have great content and excellent entertainment value. Keep up the great commentary and work.

Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Awesome video as well.

Lex I love your videos and your poker play. I used to be a poker dealer and have been playing poker for a long time. I need to join you sometime down in Florida. I went to the Hard Rock at Hollywood a couple years ago and played PLO the action was amazing!! Anyway I hope you continue to make videos and win!!

Really appreciate the hand analysis, great vlog!

Really enjoyed your comments in the beginning. Adding value to life was also interesting. Something I struggle with, like being an upbeat and enjoyable person at the table to make the experience good for everyone!

glad you spiced it up for yourself. love the streams

More Lex vlogs in one week? Hell yes

Lex, could you make a video about how much you started with in your bankroll when you were playing 1/2 and how much you built it up to play 2/5? I think that would be helpful for all of your viewers!

Keep it rolling Lex! Avoid that old man coffee!

Great content, enjoy it! Subscribed and liked!

Laughed after the old man coffee hand. As you were describing the turn I was yelling dude he 100% has QQ.

I’m glad you are starting the month positive. Your best asset is keeping that great positive attitude. 👍 When I’m in I look like a tourist lol, I think it gets me some light action. I don’t care if I’m playing 2/5, 5/10 or 10/25. If I think the table is right backpacks or not and I can make hands that’s the table I’m playing at. Walking with 1k from a 2/5 table is the same as walking with 1k from the 5/10 or 10/25 the only difference is the size of the swings. GL

Lex is taking over! Mark my words

Great video, Lex. I love poker. I played professionally for a year, made money and I hated it. I play in my spare time now and make a side income and enjoy it again. I think it was the combination of: pressure to win to pay the bills and lack of balance that made me miserable while playing full time.

You mentioned how being a poker player doesn’t bring a lot of value to the world ~ there are tons of jobs that move paper all day to make money ~ very little value brought to the table. Society is no longer only farmers and other essential workers ~ there are so many people in the world now there has to be other ways to create income and you are providing into the poker economy which is an economy of its own ~ many jobs and families supported by casual gamblers in casinos etc. I wouldn’t think too deeply about it.

One of the great things about doing a poker blog that takes off is if you make money off your channel that makes it easier to play higher stakes, which should bring in more viewers and therefore keep increasing your revenue. Should feed on itself. Keep up the great vlogs!

keeping it real, you have my respect sir

I believe poker specially at the stakes you play is more like an investor and you use your skills to make money, you take 100 percent of the risk in your own company! Also most people at that level are either pros or have jobs that allows them to play poker as a hobby. Even thought like you said you don't give back to the community or something like that your actually investing in your company so maybe later once your company grows you can actually give back in other ways..Anyways I really enjoy watching your blogs and watch you grow as a poker player.

Destiny my man! Destiny! Glad you found your path!

That Guitar hotel does look pretty awesome...idk how you play for 7 hrs...that a grind...GL

When you say you “built up your bankroll” were you also paying your bills from poker in addition to actually creating a bigger roll?

No way ,he was probably living with his parents ,it's hard starting with 500$ no savings and be able to pay rent and bills. If it was so easy to make a living out of poker every body would have done it. He is good guy though and put nice content out.

I doubt it. I’ve been living off poker only for 2.5 years and I made 100k, my expenses are minimal, the biggest game I could afford was 2/5. And even then it felt like I’m on a short roll.

Hey lex love your videos man they keep me up all night lol. Would you ever consider adding a new part to your video series. Example taking a losing $1/$2 NL player and train them and they record results. I would love to be your experiment to help your channel I live in Florida and would come down south for a month. I know if I saw you teaching someone and explaining game theory and cash game strategy. And watching their results I would definitely watch that as a viewer. I think it would be something different. Please let me know thanks man. Would be really interesting

You are very well spoken!

What editing software do you use I can not figure out how to do the overlay

Thanks for the honesty about why you started a blog. Main reason I stopped playing cash games for a living was the parasitic way of earning money. Saying that, I am not judging anyone who choose to do it, I might even do it again myself, now that I am older and give less of a shit.

Lex, how about a day in the life type of video? You have multiple interesting hobbies, you stay in good shape and it would be cool to see how you balance poker but also life.

Inspired to vlog one day

You are awesome !!!

"Let's end it with a premium" J6 funny

Get it!!!

Thanks Lex, appreciate the info...I've seen you at the Rock a few times but didn't want to bother u while playing..I play 1/2...hopefully I'll be playing in one of your games soon.

awesome content Lex! I enjoyed your opening about the transition from a regular job to being a poker professional.. what line of work were you in previously, just curious.. I think I saw a vlogger mention that you were an accountant

PLO is always a good alternative to the hold'em monotony....just sayin'

I think from his previous video, sounds like he's leaving Miami area and heading west.

That's the love-hate relationship with many of the Eastern European players. In general they're known to be spewy/action players, but they're also known to be terribly slow players as well. I'll deal with it as long as they are actually good action, but let me find a nit that also tanks constantly and you can guarantee that I'll start needling them about it.

Good of you to be honest about making money from KZread. Good luck!!!

Nice upload

Had a friend who was a pro poker player, in limit hold em of all things. Got out after 4 or 5 years just because it was so boring and he felt unfulfilled. Went on to be a math instructor at the local university and after that got his MBA and is doing finance management for a healthcare company.

Even though it's a relatively small cash for the stakes, that's still $35/hour. Solid work!

You are brutally honest but it's true you have a steady income now, KZread makes money, you make money and I waste my time, but don't worry about it, I enjoy every minute of it.

Lex! Question man, when you play poker full time and it’s your only source of income, how do you separate money you’ll use for necessities and money you’ll keep in your bankroll?

You're OK. My favorite poker vloggers, in order: Wes, Brad, Jeff, You. Neeme I don't really care for.

Cuz you have brains and men need to see chill folk

new microphone? got volume up to 100% but still low

looking forward to skilled poker

Which casino do you think has weaker players for 1/2 - 2/5 ? Magic ? Hardrock? Hialeah ? Miccosukee ? other...

I like and subscribe 👍🏼 What is a decent bankroll I need to have to play 1/2 or 2/5 or 5/10… please advise… thinking about traveling like you to go play poker…

1/2 probably 4000$ if max buy in is 200$ 2/5 probably 15000$ to 20000$ if you dont do max buy in. 5/10 well never got that far lol.
