Nice comeback! I recently finished up $16 after being down $650 in a Colorado 1-3 game. Appreciate the honesty and like how relatable it is to watch your vlogs.

Thank you for the ongoing content. $60K is a big hole to climb out from. On the brighter side, it DOESN'T seem like you're playing scared, despite the train wreck in the past 90 days. That's something to be proud of.

I make 5000€ a year at avg with poker and that works for me as I have a job 😊 every year a new MacBook or iPad and a nice vacation 😊 all about the expectation! Go Lex the „luck“ returns I promise ☘️ a good bankroll management is the key 😉🤠

I'm an older player. (74). Playing poker in multiple formats for over 60 years. Anyone who states they've never been tilted is either mistaken or hasn't played long. One consistent overarching theme I see in your videos is tilt in multiple sessions, for multiple hands. That boat 5's over 3's is prime example. Recommend hand played by most is Ace Five suited. Multiple players play unsuited. You should have suspected that as well within his range. Until you deal with tilt under strain, personal life or down in a session, your reads may be lacking. Life can be regarded as one long session. Much easier for me to deal with my personal tilt by accepting variance happens, and play each hand as if it is my first hand of the night. Only way I can semi control my tilt.

First time watching your Vlog. Good stuff, I sub'ed. Hindsight is always 20/20, but the KK hand @ the 13 minute mark. It always blows my mind when I see higher stakes games and there are players in MP calling preflop w junk like /A/5os. WTF is wrong w/people? From my view, you look like you were UTG? Like I said, first time watching. Any thoughts to possibly limping (if you were UTG) and check raising? I feel that I used to do that way to often and would get burned, but this table seemed like such an action table, did that cross your mind? I don't play 10/25, but I do play 2/5, and MP calling w/A,5os is just such a junk hand. A,5s, well thats a completely different story, and probably deserving of a 3bet. When I see stuff like this it gives me hope that maybe one day I can bump up to 10/25. I imagine when you watched this over you saw that there was absolutely no chance that the villian didn't have it. Preflop he's shuffling his cards. After the flop he looks at his cards. At the turn he once again looks at his cards. You lost the hand, who cares, but IMO he played it like garbage. He should have raised the turn, and IMO, made a much bigger river bet. LIke you said, you were not folding KK.

About your $30 gain, a gain is a gain, here an inspirational story: Michael Burry responded to my craigslist ad looking for someone to mow my lawn. "$30 is $30", he said as he continued to mow what was clearly the wrong yard. My neighbor and I shouted at him but he was already wearing muffs. Focused dude. He attached a phone mount onto the handle of his push mower. I was able to sneak a peak and he was browsing zillow listings in central Wyoming. He wouldn't stop cackling.

Bro, I like you and your channel. This is not hate, but it seems like you cause yourself the majority of your losses. You bet big or call big when you don't have the nuts! Last week you bet into a flush on the board, and here you just went all in on a draw? My strategy is different but I am very tight too....I bet if you played a little more conservatively you would be up way more often.

I get everyone's feedback, I just don't like the idea of betting into "hope" because you're essentially betting into the pot you're behind on. If the board clearly shows the nuts or 3 or 4 ways you're not ahead its OK to fold. I watch Lex because I like his energy but also for strategy. Not entertainment value. He is a person, at his job and I don't want to see him lose for entertainment but by playing strong and solid poker.

Like I said, first time watching. Any thoughts to possibly limping (if you were UTG) and check raising? I feel that I used to do that way to often and would get burned, but this table seemed like such an action table, did that cross your mind? I don't play 10/25, but I do play 2/5, and MP calling w/A,5os is just such a junk hand. A,5s, well thats a completely different story, and probably deserving of a 3bet. When I see stuff like this it gives me hope that maybe one day I can bump up to 10/25. I imagine when you watched this over you saw that there was absolutely no chance that the villian didn't have it. Preflop he's shuffling his cards. After the flop he looks at his cards. At the turn he once again looks at his cards. You lost the hand, who cares, but IMO he played it like garbage. He should have raised the turn, and IMO, made a much bigger river bet. LIke you said, you were not folding KK.

About your $30 gain, a gain is a gain, here an inspirational story: Michael Burry responded to my craigslist ad looking for someone to mow my lawn. "$30 is $30", he said as he continued to mow what was clearly the wrong yard. My neighbor and I shouted at him but he was already wearing muffs. Focused dude. He attached a phone mount onto the handle of his push mower. I was able to sneak a peak and he was browsing zillow listings in central Wyoming. He wouldn't stop cackling.
I have been a huge fan from the beginning with that being said I think it's time you adjust your play style or strategy. Your opponents have an opportunity to study alot of your hands. It wouldn't hurt to be a little unpredictable.
That is how you win your game back.
Bro, I like you and your channel. This is not hate, but it seems like you cause yourself the majority of your losses. You bet big or call big when you don't have the nuts! Last week you bet into a flush on the board, and here you just went all in on a draw? My strategy is different but I am very tight too....I bet if you played a little more conservatively you would be up way more often.

Lex O used to play Nitty as a rock (heavy doses of folding to aggression, unless he was Nutted) ... two or so years back. He's reformed his game to balance "entertainment value" vs. profitability. One of the best poker vlogs going today.

If Lex played like a super nit no one would watch.

I get everyone's feedback, I just don't like the idea of betting into "hope" because you're essentially betting into the pot you're behind on. If the board clearly shows the nuts or 3 or 4 ways you're not ahead its OK to fold. I watch Lex because I like his energy but also for strategy. Not entertainment value. He is a person, at his job and I don't want to see him lose for entertainment but by playing strong and solid poker.
