imagine getting that buff to still have this thin of skin. You got ass blasted for 50k playing terribly, did you expect the comments to shower you with praise?
The scene with jungleman thinking you are action dan is so magic. Plus Mariano telling you have a poker vlog channel^^ jungleman will hallucinate!!!😂 So great
Been around since you started your career in poker/ RUclips channel. Love to watch you play you will get it back Lex keep grinding see ya on next vlog.
congrats on 60k subs and remember the majority of us will happily watch you playing much lower stakes so please dont feel the need to play higher to increase your channel!
Lex I didn't know you trained in wrestling and cross fit I have trained in wrestling and I know it's one of the hardest sports and only the strongest survive there! Let's not talk about cross fit there your mindset should be 100% every day big respect for you I follow your every video I'm 24 years old I've been playing poker since I was 12 and now I've made the step to only do poker and make a living from it I hope to achieve your result!
You will overcome it Lex, love your content brother. Till next time 👍. Oh, and there will always be haters trying to get you down. “ Everyone is a pro when they can see the cards and it’s not their 🤑” so true.
Action Dan is one of those players you just feel like is a Demi God at the table. Guy plays 400% VPIP and just smacks everything, not a care in the world if he wins or loses.
I knew you were a gifted CrossFit athlete but didn’t realize you competed at regionals! I own CrossFit Gratitude near KC. Stop in if you’re ever in the area!
Lex, You seemed like you were relaxed and locked in pretty good for the whole session. You are definitely getting more comfortable at these higher stakes from what I have seen from the beginning of your vlogs. It is just a matter of time before you are consistently playing and winning at these bigger games. Mariano is another one of my favorite poker vloggers, and he has a similar poker journey as yours, in that he started playing smaller games and worked his way up to the big leagues and is now a regular at these stakes. You and Jungleman seem to have hit it off well! he seems like a really cool and interesting guy! I hope you enjoy playing with those guys as much as we like to watch you guys play together! Keep Pounding brother! David Ridgeway
Very good video, especially sharing your thoughts and feelings after the game. And thank you for showing some of your competitive history with the old clips, really good stuff!
You seem to be a great and humble guy. I would like to thank you for your inspiration, and please keep on sharing your poker content for a long time. It's always a highlight when you upload. All the best!
Another entertaining and interesting episode. Your openness and willingness to share your thoughts during those difficult hands really makes the experience of playing high stakes poker come into focus. Wishing you the best of luck crushing those guys next time around.
I would stick to 5/10 Lex (not being results oriented). (those stakes are also more suited to the stakes your viewers play) Less stressfull and you have a good winrate at those stakes and you make lots of profit and a good living there. After a big losing session like this it takes a whole lot of hours at 5/10 to recover, which can put you on tilt more easily or forces you to want to keep playing higher than your usual stakes. Just my 2 cents and not meant to hate or to be negative. Ty for the vlog. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awsome episode pkt 10 I was screaming in my head call, which is why I don't play there! The back story was so cool! The pure will to win and shear power was so cool to see! Love this shit bro keep it up can't wait for the next one!!!!!!
Dude is terrible lol. Yeah he makes insane plays/bluffs. You’ve got to realize 75-80% of time your opponent can’t make a hand to call you down(> top two, set, straight, flush,…) w the sizing/frequency his bets represent. And it’s not cuz of his skill level, sometimes you pull off bluff cuz of variance, just happens the run-out unblocks all his bluffs. Just couple weeks back saw him just go crazy in bounty game, up like 1M in first 4 hours. But lost all it in matter of minutes playing the same way.
Congrats Lex on being able to be there in that game. You played very well and fought hard. I always enjoy your content, win pr lose. Great analysis every time.
Lex, I've said it once in the comments and I'll say it again... your idea of "thin-value" and the way you conclude what sizes to bet with it are... conflicting at best. Some how you equate "thin" to mean "max" almost every single time.
The "thin" is describing his chances of being best here (say 55% of the time) rather than the size of the bet. If you have an A-hi flush you can bet for thick value, but in the 99 hand you're still winning more than 50% but the value is thin. Doesn't hurt to swing for the fences either way, you're just going to have more variance when you're going thin. It can add up to a huge edge over time and is really effective in low stakes.
@@lexopokeryou are very correct sir ... they just don't understand that you con go for thin by merging out of the river!! Nice session thanks for the content I feel like your one of the most authentic in the poker vlog community‼ I hope one day we will catch up at a poker table. Peace 👋
Man, I _really_ felt for you this session. It just sucks really hard to keep getting substandard luck in the biggest spots, when you're taking your biggest shots. Looking forward to you getting your sun-run on in one of these huge games soon!
Nah, you did so good! You're getting really good, and all your thoughts are really coming together. It's starting to really click for you. You're going to be a very good pro soon. VERY good!!! Look at your emotional control now! W Lexo!!!
2x State Champ!?! 🏆🏆 I'm not a poker pro, but I am a golf pro. Right now, to put it into golf terms, you seem comparable to a golfer who is more worried about how their swing looks than about your score. In essence, it doesn't need to look pretty or necessarily be the 'correct' play: just win!!! G'luck Champ🤙🏻
I didn't know you were a d1 wrestler. That's pretty cool! Eventually it'll be your mind that needs a break, sort of like what happened to your body. Happy to see you playing these big games. From 1-2 to the biggest games and still there after a few years. You have a lot to be proud of.
Lexo! Looked like a pretty fast and loose game as is par for the course at the Hustler. Enjoyed watching and thanks for sharing. Great content and nice opener with the clips from your wrestling and crossfit days. Looking back at your early days in Texas, you had a tough go of it and you battled your way through it. With your competitive spirit, I have full confidence that you will be back in the black in no time. Growing pains when leveling up are just part of the process. You've been there before and made it through by applying your skill and determination. It's not how many times you get knocked down, it's all about how many times you get back up.
I didn't see the stream but your thought process against Action Dan with 99 is exactly how I would've played it. I then would've realized that he's a dangerous player. :)
Lex this was fantastic content! I believe it's the best video I've ever watched from you. If he stacks me again I"m gonna lose my gd mind" had my howling for real.
Love action Dan. Love how he slow rolled your confidence and made you lose foolish. I know your long winded explanation was to try to save face online. 😂😂😂
9's is always a jam even w action dan theres more combo's of pocket pairs and k x hands than 2 x hands. great fold on the 10's thats actually very tough coin flip imo. objectively great session just unlucky
You made three absolutely correct shoves against the most aggressive and loose player on the planet and luck didn't go your way on two of them. Win those two hands and you're actually up 30k. You're rise in poker is inspirational Lex, keep on going and getcha some!
Wanted to watch one of your earlier vlogs and went to #5. At 11:00 you have KK and flop comes 2x3x3x. 1st to act bets out 600 and you fold. Guy behind calls with his ducks in the hole. The bettor has 3h2h and they go all in. Was a winning night for you at the 5-10 around 1,300. It was fun to watch and good to see how far you have come from your early days.
The only mistake I think you made in the 99 v 32 hand was going all in on River. Thin value usually isn’t going for it all 😂 maybe bet $3-$4k instead. But I like the play 👍
I do disagree with your all in thoughts on the pocket 9’s hand. You could have done a small raise thrn if he raised you fold, going all in will never get called by a something worse that wasn’t a good move
I can't believe you allow yourself to lost $52K that is your 1 year equivalent earning in poker. You have been playing for almost 5 years, you should know by now that playing on a high limit way above your limit is just asking for a disaster. If your over-reaching yourself in a high stake game with a Limited bank roll, you'll be playing scared and ended losing a winning hand. Please be smart don't be like Rampage and other known professional poker players that went bankrupt or others that are now in prison. I am one of your poker blog follower, I like you as a person, your poker style and I want you to be successful. Good luck
Lex, you got extremely unlucky with AKo and with the river when Dan had 5d7d. People never consider the fact that one river card can make or break a career. Love your honesty. My only problem with you is that you put your new A3 Audi through a typical bristle car wash.
You might be right, Lex, but when I watched live I thought you leveled yourself here. Dan is smart and sees you as tight/solid and I think releases an 8 for an over pot size jam. Look at him when he calls! He didn’t even love it calling it off with a 2. Not trying to beat you up or be a dick, but dudes hero’ing Mariano but not you.
Lex I’m so impressed how far you came in such a short amount of time. I do this as well and I’m having a hard time making it out of 5-10 so let the nay sayers talk about how they play their 1-2 nlhe hands better.
Please come to Boston so we can have some of that money AA22 board and you shove all in when you could check back against a manic at worst he has 99s beat with over pair or some other ba said you played your A game naw you definitely have played better someone said you’re turning into rampage #2 that’s wild 🤷🏽♂️ intro was wild was expecting a title match
“Everyones a professional when they can see the cards and it’s not their money”
True

@@goobiesgamegarage4517 Your comment is so random dude lol
Blablabla you just suck
I dont agree. If your allowed it can only help @ayo9057
You played so good. Keep making right decisions. I enjoy your humble and honest perspective. I’m pulling for you!!
Took the loss like a champ lex, always rooting for you gl in the future games!
“If this guy stacks me I’m gonna loose my gd mind”. For real!
Man that line cracked me up for real. This video had excellent content!
Dam Lex…don’t jump stakes too quickly! Don’t want to see you become another rampage. 😂
And he’s way less of a spewtard
The scene with jungleman thinking you are action dan is so magic. Plus Mariano telling you have a poker vlog channel^^ jungleman will hallucinate!!!😂 So great

I give you mad props lex for getting in there, not afraid to mix it up, while trying to play your best. You truly inspire me, keep up the great work💪
Brilliant fold with the 1010 vs action Dan, I couldn't have done that!
It was a obvious fold the same one he should of checked the 99 hand
Having a Td helped for sure
Lex looks like a miniature red cannonball.
Lex bought a tshirt from Hustler gift shop on the way out says: “I lost 50k and all I got was this lousy jungleman hat” 😂
Lex should make a custom t-shirt that matches the colour of the hat 👒
Lex-o you are a champion! Keep it up your day will come! You’re the man.

Action Dan is a relentless opponent with a wide range.
Your video is getting better and better! Love this intro…this gives us a little more about you! 😊
I love the way Action Dan plays. High variance but it's a lot of fun.
I knew you were a gifted CrossFit athlete but didn’t realize you competed at regionals! I own CrossFit Gratitude near KC. Stop in if you’re ever in the area!
He was 43rd worldwide in the Open in 2018 which is pretty crazy.
@@LMW87MMA Wow, yeah. A little better than my 25,000th! That is incredible.
All respect Lex! Keep grinding, you’re a star in the making
Lex,
You seemed like you were relaxed and locked in pretty good for the whole session.
You are definitely getting more comfortable at these higher stakes from what I have seen from the beginning of your vlogs. It is just a matter of time before you are consistently playing and winning at these bigger games.
Mariano is another one of my favorite poker vloggers, and he has a similar poker journey as yours, in that he started playing smaller games and worked his way up to the big leagues and is now a regular at these stakes.
You and Jungleman seem to have hit it off well! he seems like a really cool and interesting guy! I hope you enjoy playing with those guys as much as we like to watch you guys play together!
Keep Pounding brother!

You've grown in the game. Should be proud if that. I'm gunna be in Hollywood for a week in June. Hope I can see you at Hard Rock
Glad you’re still making vlogs dude. You’re on the stage with some legends. Keep grinding and learning. You got this. Flex-O Poker
congrat on moving up the lader brother. i been watching your game for long time and seeing you moving up is great. keep grinding bro.

Yeah, I became a fan of him. Rooting for him in Milly games in next week
@@batmanlaidashnyam8918is that a tournament?

What’s up with rampage refusing to say your name in his most recent vlog?
I dunno, but if thats true, thats hilarious lol
Great vlog lex. Your best yet. Loved the intro and athletic background. I am confident you’ll crush next time

Thanks for the vlog! How do you feel stream vs non stream is? Do you adjust ranges? Call down lighter? Bluff more?
you will bounce back Lexo. i got confidence in you bro. your vlogs are awesome man I appreciate them...
‘I was going for thin value.’ *overbet jams*
this
Stay strong! Fellow Floridian enjoying your content.
Loved this one, loved to see how far you came. S tier poker vlogger. Don’t listen to the bozos in the comments talking shit for no reason
Another enjoyable vlog. I look forward to seeing you on the winning side.
Best vlog yet. Been watching since day one
I’m trying to get a poker vlog going .. what kind of stand do you use when your recording ?
Sorry to tell you bro but 99 is a bluff in that line/spot. Could maybe argue a merge, but definitely closer to bluff than value for 1.3x pot on river.
More close to value than bluff against action dan who loves calling w Q and K high
@@Copypastedates I mean yes, those are indeed words. But you are wrong
In nitty games that is true. This is not a nitty game.
I watched the live stream. The game played to big for you !
You have done good my man screw the critics lol, I liked you intro of your story, awesome. Hope to see you at Best Bet Jax one day.
9's is always a jam even w action dan theres more combo's of pocket pairs and k x hands than 2 x hands. great fold on the 10's thats actually very tough coin flip imo. objectively great session just unlucky
Finally someone who understands poker makes a comment!
Is it possible for Lex to have Ax in the 228AA hand against Action Dan?
Just got around to watching this one - you played very good Lex , super solid
You made three absolutely correct shoves against the most aggressive and loose player on the planet and luck didn't go your way on two of them. Win those two hands and you're actually up 30k. You're rise in poker is inspirational Lex, keep on going and getcha some!
This is the best vlog you've made. The intro was excellent and I loved the banter with Jungleman
BTW - I love when you block out other players hands. Makes us think.
I like it but the graphics move around like insects 🐜 Fellow poker players want to see stack sizes and 💺 seating positions.
Thought you butchered the 99 hand with aa822 board. Autocheck back
I was watching live. I felt bad you lost so much, but I also thought - "this is going to make a great vlog". I was right about that. Nice work.
Tough loss but you played well. Loving the content, you're gonna bounce back!
Respect for playing those stakes. Players like Action Dan would give me nightmares.

How?

Jesus christ how long does it take to talk about action Dan in pocket 9s hand on the river! Had to turn it off after that ramble!

Dude you played great
Them bums just sucked out on you and it hurts to see it…..keep going and keep playing well
Congrats and playing at this high a level. No matter what anyone says just to be able to be in this type of game is a huge accomplishment.
Action Dan seems like a good dude
I can't believe you allow yourself to lost $52K that is your 1 year equivalent earning in poker. You have been playing for almost 5 years,
you should know by now that playing on a high limit way above your limit is just asking for a disaster.

Great discipline & great mindset, keep it up ✌🏼Wishing you better luck!
Going to be having nightmares of Action Dan 😂
Cool historical insights. Thanks for sharing
Could not would not play these stakes without an untouchable trust fund.
Sorry for your losses. You are a very good player and I'm sure you will get it all back + some
I dunno man, I’m a fan, I think you played pretty good, but the 9’s hand 99% sure is a punt.
Seriously. No clue what he was thinking.
And thin value? 1 and 1/2 x pot lol
@@mikewilliams3509 I guess it’s awkward when you’re staked. You don’t wanna be like, “look, I fucking punted okay?”
It’s a clear value bet spot v that player type. And if I’m going to bet I might as well go for it all against a player who never folds and is too rich
You might be right, Lex, but when I watched live I thought you leveled yourself here. Dan is smart and sees you as tight/solid and I think releases an 8 for an over pot size jam. Look at him when he calls! He didn’t even love it calling it off with a 2. Not trying to beat you up or be a dick, but dudes hero’ing Mariano but not you.
