It baffles me when a player raises on the river with a straight, or flush, with the board paired, then loses to an all-in reraised and claims he’s running bad.

Lex commentary is because he can see the cards lol. He obviously isnt thinking some of this while hes playing or he wouldnt have played the way he plays.

U think he’s going all in with just trips? You make me look good

Lex, KQo hand with the straight against boat is a punt. Very serious overplay unless the villain is a maniac.

Yeah, the moment he re-raised I would have insta folded. You’re not beating them if you don’t have tens full. Such an overplay of your hand. He was licking his chops when you raised his $3k bet. He was just trying to get a call or knew you may have had a straight and made a blocker bet to induce you to raise. It worked.

Hang in there, man. You got this! Good Luck to you! Awesome content as usual.

82os play was boss af! nice one lex! For KQos im torn between going for value vs just calling to a river bet if i make a straight on a paired board. I like that you went for value there tbh.

I think I like a big bet on the turn with 2nd pair and nut flush draw against Taras. You are probably ahead with the best draw against this particular player.

49:03 Humbleness, self analysis and motivation. Thank you Lex! Good luck in Huston!

Honestly you’re doing great. Don’t stop fighting. Keep going. You’re becoming a really good thinking player. Very much so enjoy watching your journey. Keep it up, King!

Great bluff Lex… thought he was calling for sure! Love the Rounders clips!!🎉

Lex, I appreciate your honesty & sharing your journey to high stakes. Not an easy thing to put yourself out there like you are. You have it in you. Fook the Haters. Chase your goals as you always have! Good luck my man.

nice bluff! got unlucky on that one hopefully you'll just get some better luck soon Lex O

😅😅😅😅 I was sweatin for ya boss! Good stuff!!!

Amazing content Lex.

Big fan Lex - hope you keep grinding

KQ spot is very interesting. Maybe just 3b or fold pre? I also like a c/r on turn and then bet fold river? Is he bluffing and/or value betting a worse hand 25% of the time? Probably not.... His small bet on river does invite a raise.... weird spot. Great vlog like always, Lex. You're one of the most, if not the most, consistent and entertaining vloggers out there! 🔥

I love the long form videos!

Such a bad call with the straight vs full house. You were never ahead at any point in that hand. You only had a bluff catcher with that straight. Your poker instincts are not where they need to be.

I do like the 82o bluff. You played it perfectly. Like you said, even if you lost, you went for it. Nice edit, too.

Thanks for your thought process and great videos. Keep grinding.

Well played. So excited for that bluff on Mariano! 🎉

Great post..!! I missed the stream, but 8h and 4k viewers...Congrats to the Lodge and the line up...Lossing on stream and your take away from it and turning it to a positive out look. Very encouraging, but Mikey Ds not so much...Peace and Good Luck forward...!!

Overall Lex you did well. Im glad you are trying to challenge yourself to play bigger games. also, the way you explained it and cover their cards makes your vlog interesting I follow you every single time not on HCL and lodge but also best bet, champions etc. Ive learned from you and cant wait to see your book.

Lex, I’ve been a fan from I want to say the beginning and the edit with rounders was so freaking good. Way to go man. 🙌🏼👏🏼🤘🏼

Yeah the KQ was too thin he called a raise from the SB, heavily weighted twords AX, he called on the flop 3 way, what’s he have? Flush draw/AX, def should of pot controlled turn and get to show down

Sorry you're sad, man. I'm rooting for you to pull through and succeed.

"I sat with the best poker vlogger in the world, and I won." The Session: Mariano - UP $41K Lex O - DOWN $51K LOL Hell, he even beat you in getting the vlog out by 8 days.

Only two hands were bad plays IMO. The bet/call you made with a straight on a paired board and not folding 9/8 clubs to a three bet preflop out of position. Just my opinion.

Nice video Lex

Absolutely epic bluff v Mariano !! 😊👍

The most shocking thing about this video is that people with this kind of money eat at Jersey Mike's! In all seriousness though, great video Lex. Sorry it didn't go your way, but you had some great plays and it'll turn around.

That bluff with 82 was masterful. Leaving yourself less then a min click behind makes it look that much stronger and as if you were potentially gonna check raise the turn. I can understand why mariano landed on fold.

Keep up the videos!

That KQ was an over play imo. That 3k is either a straight call or a min raise. 13k was too much imo. If you min raise with 6k you can fold river to a jam.

I think that straight versus full house could have easily been avoided. Yes the villain is capable of bluffing but it’s very rare for that player to bluff shove their whole stack on the river. Rampage would be the exception but aside from him that doesn’t happen often. Just my 2 cents.

Wow that KQ hand was brutal. Respect to you. I'd be on tilt after that, even at my local $1/2 game.

Lex, I have no idea how much you make from your YT - channel but I have a feeling you are playing games that are waaay above your bankroll. You bought in for 20k right? That means that your bankroll should be at least, at least, 20x that amount. (Some say the magic number is 50x) So if your bankroll is 500k+, go ahead, try your luck with the big boys. If it's not 500k, maybe you should stick to the stakes you're used to. Yeah, I know, you always say that you are competitive and wanna play against the best. Always push yourself. Bla bla. Dude, that's the gambling devil speaking. You have a good thing going at the Hard rock. You are crushing. Don't fu*k that up becuz you wanna "prove yourself". In a year or two, when you have worked on your game and have a solid bankroll you can go try your luck again. Until then, don't rock the boat. From Sweden with love

Just keep in mind, and in the spirit of the theme of this video re: bluffing vs Mariano with 82 , Mike (in Rounders) ended up going to Vegas because of his belief in himself.

To quote the same movie you did in your vlog, "If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker." 🤣 Was a good bluff on Mariano, at least you have juevos to sit down at the table.

The prop bets were pretty entertaining.

Ok Lex, its time we had a heart to heart talk. I'm trying really hard not to be negative. I played poker full time like you for 2 years and decided to go back to work. It was the best decision I could have made. I asked myself, how much longer can I go on making a slight profit. I was profitable. After you calculate the wins, the profit is very little. Not a good life ahead as far as what I expect of myself. I study poker every day using GTO programs, videos, groups, ect. I have to say you have a game that needs a lot of work. You make a number of mistakes that a studied player would not. I really don't understand how you can not correct your basic leaks and thought process before playing these super high levels. When you're in a hole, you should stop digging. You owe it to your dogs to live a happy life and you're not doing that now. How much longer are you going to put yourself thru this torture and cutting your life short? I enjoy watching your videos not because I am looking for strategy and game improvement but because I learn from you what not to do and how not to play the game. This isn't a knock on you, its just the skill level you're at. I think you're a fine $2/5 player so why not stick with that?

@pokerqAK47

Ай бұрын

I enjoyed his 2/5 sessions much more. This is just like me playing when I’m on tilt lol. But I berate myself for such plays. Lex is like “I’m running so bad”. Underestimating players like Taras.

Think the 8c9c is a fold vs a cold 4 bc of how it interacts with the Broadway hands. Probably worse at 300 bigs. Think the lower connectors are continues.

The last hand I put Taras exactly on AQ, but to be fair I watch him on the live streams a lot. He's definitely capable of bluffing but that should've been a fold once he bet that big on the river. Regardless though I love your vlogs Rex. Better luck next time.

what a bluff on mariano!!! hell yeah man keep up the great work

If I had known you were going to the Beau, I would've put you up, Lex. Def next time

What made this for me was the great moving music when you had the 82 hand... now that music made me well up. You got balls with 82 Lex, well played. But Lex you got to learn to fold especially when your gut is telling you that you are losing, like against that AQ. FOLD MORE!

On 8 2 hand I think he didn’t wanna call you because he didn’t wanna bust you because he knows it means a lot more to you than it does to him.

Completely agree 😅. He folded like he wanted it to look like 'alright you got me', and Mariano never does that.

can someone explain why theres three blinds? personally id want to keep it original and have a small and a big blind

did not see the result of the KQ hand so far but man... you say you dont give him J9 from utg so you can discount that, but in same second you say you are beatibg Q9 so that would speak for a call 😅

Lex, good luck climbing the vertical ice wall....

The wild that Terrace is you know he’s gonna have queen or 7

Just out classed at these stakes. Dont think he should be in this type of game yet imo.

Big stakes in the NBA (NO BABIES ALLOWED) BUT... the blind opponent screen is terrific though. Keep that ON!!

Will you be at the WSOP this year? 😊

Trick time is such a fish. That first hand 😱

On the 9c8c hand, you obviously know him better than me, but I think his 4-bet range preflop is going to do more checking on the river than value betting unless he has a Q. Is he ever trying to get value with AA or KK? Is he bluffing with AK, perhaps. He still has to consider you have a ton of Queens in your range, unless you never trap. I've made this same kind of call or folded and saw the hand and I wasn't good (80%+ of the time). What's he 4-betting, and betting the river with that has some value beats you (JJ?) or is a pure bluff. AK? How many combos of bluffs should he have? Not many, I don't think.

Lex 0: He could have Ace-King, Ace-Queen, Ace-Jack or Ace-10. He could also have suited connectors like King-Queen, King-Jack or King-10 suited. He also could have a flush, 2 pair, 1 pair or Ace high. He could also have King high, Jack high, 10 high or 9 high. Now that I think about it, he could also have some pocket pairs like pocket 9s, pocket 8s, pocket 7s or 6s

I’m a big fan and like your vlogs. I’ve watched all of them. I met and played with you one time when I visited Florida. It’s cool to see you push yourself out of your comfort zone. Don’t try to hang with the “cool guys” and be cool and do stupid things. I think in these games these bug sharks have your situation sized up. They know you’re playing disproportionate to your bankroll. They know you’re afraid to lose your 30k buy in and they’re not. That puts you at a big disadvantage. Stick to the basics 5/10.

LexO!!!! There is a common theme… and I wanna help you see it. There have been multiple times on stream that you’ve been caught bluff catching with weaker hands or 4th-8th nuts on super dynamic boards. What I’m saying is - players in these games have caught on and started betting huge for value into you. because you are talking yourself into calls. These river bets are 90% for value against you. I think in your next big game- recognize the sequence of Value vs bluffing. I hope you start getting on the right side of these.

Kq is such a trivial raise fold at any stake
