Love your work ethic Lex, really enjoying your Vegas trip. Keep up the good work. That two arriving on the river was like a cool drink on a hot summer day. So sweet.
Awesome, 3 casino session!! I always enjoy your content. I watch your vlogs a least twice, for the hand thought process. I greatly appreciate you posting and grinding out these vlogs. 1.3k more subscribers is absolutely nothing. Lets go viewers subscribing doesn't cost nothing. Lets blow Lex up!!
Your vids are very easy to watch and well put together with good hand analyzing, interesting content, and a realer feel than other poker vloggers. Keep it up.
2:42 I've played against two of those guys and another looks familiar from the time I lived in Vegas. Local grinders waiting for big hands is one reason I moved back to Dallas. I got tired of them just waiting for tourist to punish and most of the times I left the tables to shoot craps just for excitement.
Hey Lex I watch all of your vids and I really enjoyed this one. Hard to know what to do when you’re really tired, but in that last hand there’s only one play, a call. Very unlikely that he had 5-7 but he wasn’t going to call a shove unless he did.
Damn I have been watching you for almost a year and just realized I wasn’t subbed lmao. Well, I am now. Wonder how many others are in the same boat haha. Nice sessions lex, as always. You’re living it up! Love to see it.
Thanks for clearing up the hand calluses I thought it might be working out but today there are workout gel fingerless gloves but they ain’t cheep I’ll get you the link later
Great stuff Lex. That last hand, it could be tempting to rip it in, but he's got a lot of bluffs there, and obviously they're not calling. And realistically, what worse can call the shove when there's the 4-liner? You do block 7h5h, but still, if he had 75s, it turned the nuts, and the 2 just toasted you. So against a 1.5x bet, I think you just flat and see if you're good.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I like your content a lot.... I appreciate how you articulate between cards. Helps my knowledge and develop my intuition. I'm a horse player and looking to offset my time on the poker table. Hope to see you out some time. I, too, am in Broward. P.S. Rogue is charming...
Love your content Lex. I grind it every day at the lowest limits and am doing well. One thing that I don't think people realize when they are critical of you is that you are playing all over the place and often don't know your opponents well, so you are kind of playing a generic villain, who often might have the advantage because they are familiar with your vlog, but you don't know them. The fold with JJ is fine. Wish you would do a meetup game near me, I'm in WA but there are a lot of cool places in Portland too, come up to the PNW, it's great this time of year !
Great video as usual, Lex. One for the idea box: So I just re-watched your vlog #9 video, with the "8 tips" for $1/$2 winning poker. I wonder if you might consider making another similar video, with updates on what you've learned since then.
Extremely helpful to my game listening to your thoughtful analysis. I'm trying to improve my own game, but of course a big problem is that I don't know just what it is that I don't know, if you know what I mean. Thank you!
Re. The last hand of the video. Note: I'm typing this without having seen the outcome. I don't recall what the effective stacks are after your opponent's $2k river bet, but unless they're HUGE your only viable play is to shove since he'll have you slightly more than never. Note: If the effective stacks are huge, I'm down with a raise of roughly 1.5x the pot. Note: Calling here is a crime against humanity, and as for why a small raise is a bad play, I'll defer to one of my favorite poker writers, Michael Wiesenberg (who, I'm pleased to announce, is still with us at age 79): If you're holding the nuts and there's $100 in the pot and both you and your opponent have $1,000 behind, go ahead and shove if you think there's anywhere near a 10% chance that you'll get called, because there sure as Hell isn't a 100% chance that he'll call a pot sized bet. Translation (for those who occasionally nodded off in math class): Your expected value if your $1k bet gets called 10% of the time is $100 - the same as if your pot sized bet gets called 100% of the time Incidentally, the math can be extended further. To wit, even if If he'll only call $1k 5% of the time it's been better choice than betting half the pot ($50) since he's not calling this bet 100% of the time either.
Great hands lex! Dude you are way over and beyond Better then me at this great game but I like your fold in the JJ hand too. Really hard to keep calling there.
Yeah bro the JJ fold was tough. Would you have done the same in a tourney? Very good video though man. Keep up the surprise content, it's entertaining.
incredible call with 88. I wonder what physical tells you saw, even subconsciously - I am certain that had more to do with it than you stated in the video
Question for anyone. Still new and learning. Not trying to be a results oriented jerk with this question. On JJ hand, I would be more inclined to stay in the hand because homie on your right called the 4bet pre and folded flop suggesting good unpaired double broadway AK/AQ which significantly lowers the odds of pairs better than yours. Is my thought process wrong on this or even right, but fold is still the correct move?
He has less subs than rampage because watching someone punt regularly is slightly more entertaining. I love Lex but he plays too good 99% of the time lol, the youtube community wants max pain 😄
I applaud Lex for showing the bluff against him with the pocket J’s. Easy to say call when your watching, you have someone shove $600 then $1,000 on the turn knowing he’s jamming his stack on the river with the possibility of a ace or king showing up. All you nay-sayers wouldn’t have the balls to call the $600, forget the $1,000.
Who else is out in Vegas for WSOP???
I'm Playing the arizona state poker championship this Friday for day 1A. Saturday is 1B and Sunday is 1C. Come join us!
Bro you called AK before the fold! Should of went with your gut, nice read😎
How often do you table change? Or how often do you recommend?
Who isnt
I paused the video on the villain 2k bet. I would definitely jam because only one hand beats you and I think villain is bluffing.
Thanks for the content. Living vicariously through all of the guys and gals grinding the cash games and posting great videos
Great video Lex! I see you snuck in to my home turf at the Aria.lol! Not surprised at how you evaluated the lineup. Glad you decided to keep moving.
Nice win. Hero calls are tough.
Thought I was subscribed but wasn't. Thanks for the reminder and thanks for making the subscribe reminder short! Love the videos!
Love your work ethic Lex, really enjoying your Vegas trip. Keep up the good work. That two arriving on the river was like a cool drink on a hot summer day. So sweet.
Let’s see you hit that 45K dude!!

Never commented before but I’ve been around since 10k subs. Love to see you growing man, I never miss a video I love the content!!
Thank you Lex. Appreciate all your insight
Playing til the sun up! Savage session
I am subbed. Props to you Lex, goodluck!!!
Another fun video! :) Congrats on that sweet profit and thanks for your content!
Lex, that bluff with pocket 3s was sick young man! Great move against what I believe was was 10s or is. Excellent play!

Good for you man. Hands well played. Very entertaining.
You played well in this vlog Lex, very impressive.
Lex! Glad you are still banging about in those bigger games!
Good to watch your progress. Thanks for your work.
Early gang! Let's go 💣
Early birdsss

lol tough 5-10 games at the aria. Story checks out
Damn I have been watching you for almost a year and just realized I wasn’t subbed lmao. Well, I am now. Wonder how many others are in the same boat haha. Nice sessions lex, as always. You’re living it up! Love to see it.
LOL. I actually had Mariano videos showing up to me but wasn't subbed too, even though I thought I was.
That AKo double barrel in a 4 bet pot was gangster, kudos to that guy for continuing to fire, well played by him. I would have folded JJ there too.
Best feeling walking out super early morning with a W 🍳🥓🍞
Thanks for clearing up the hand calluses I thought it might be working out but today there are workout gel fingerless gloves but they ain’t cheep I’ll get you the link later
Just gotta say, huge fan of the intro music for this video.

Subbed for ya, thought I was already tbh . Algorithm usually always gets your new videos haha
Go, Lex! Q9 hand was definitely a cooler!
Great job Lex 👏 I love to watch you play and hope you continue winning 👍
First hand was great. Good to see you opening it up and getting max value. Thanks for vlogs big dog

There are a few of us old guys who are not OMC's and don't only 4 bet with QQ+

Great result, you epitomise “NEVER GIVE UP”
The Aria cage was the slowest in the whole city during the series. Weird because it’s otherwise a well run room.
Keep up the good work fam!!!
LOVE the intro music…so classy
Caught this one early! Thanks again Lex!
I'm already a sub, bro. I'm also repping SFla. Boynton Beach over here!
Good job bro. Definitely learn alot from your videos. Thanks much appreciated
Lex awesome video as usual, question when moving up to 5/10 from 2/5 nl games , what is in ur opinion a suggested bankroll size? Thank you
prolly one of my favorite vidoes from you. such a tough spot with 3-3 but like your idea to triple barrel there. interested to see what he folded.
Love your videos lex, is there any chance you could put you postion on screen in these hands? Would love to see it thanks:)
Only ak bets that way. AA’s would be scared you hit a set. I love your vlog.
Good going Lex….take a good rest and see you on your next video….😊
Great music for a change!
THAT WAS A SICK RIVER CARD
Good stuff lex! Tough hand with jacks against two barrels
Extremely helpful to my game listening to your thoughtful analysis.
I'm trying to improve my own game, but of course a big problem is that I don't know just what it is that I don't know, if you know what I mean.
Thank you!
Nice work Lex. JJ fold was good, it was becoming an expensive bluff catch.
Almost to 45k!
Awesome content lex glad to see you winning. Looking forward to the next vlog.
Thanks Lex
Great video Lex
Another awesome video per usual
Hero callls should based on your opponents frequency showing a low credit score
when u first starting vlog i hated u but now I think the opposite. I like the genuine attitude and you have been doing well vlogs.
Love your blog just moved out here by bonita springs just wanted to know if you study on any pokersites. And wish you the best.

I miss the all night/4 day poker sessions where I woke up looking 10 years older
There's a "Kings Lounge" in Las Vegas?!? Man whenever i saw some streams i always thought these US Pro's have been to Rozvadov lol
Only during WSOP.
Love the intro and the music!
Well played sir!! Living the dream, keep the run good going!
Great hands lex! Dude you are way over and beyond Better then me at this great game but I like your fold in the JJ hand too. Really hard to keep calling there.
Awesome bro are you playing any tournaments? Any videos ? Wish I was there! Sent the poker god a msg to back you! keep stacking!
Like your style playing poker
Wow he mucks u had fourth pair I wonder 🤔
nice raise on 1st hand
Those were some sick calls.
Yeah bro the JJ fold was tough. Would you have done the same in a tourney? Very good video though man. Keep up the surprise content, it's entertaining.
Why are you just calling with 68 suited on the button giving big blind a discount
incredible call with 88.
I wonder what physical tells you saw, even subconsciously - I am certain that had more to do with it than you stated in the video
Awesome grind Lex…..way to keep your head in the game and recognize you needed to search for a better game

Your going over 59k subs. Nice
You scooped heaps on the Jaman hand
Still don’t understand how your not on at least 50k yet, great videos
He has less subs than rampage because watching someone punt regularly is slightly more entertaining. I love Lex but he plays too good 99% of the time lol, the youtube community wants max pain 😄
Nice hit!
You have a great watch to subscriber ratio right? Like 50percent is so great
I’m pretty sure that guy on the right at 4:19 was on a final table recently at the WSOP
super go on !!!!!! frank
LEX GO!!!!!
So often he has AK there.. tough spot. Knowing it’s someone that wants to make the vlog should come into play.
if you call the flop you gotta call that turn
Hell yeah my dude. Another banger 🙌🙏 we appreciate you! Keep crushing 💪🤙
Respect. Thanks for sharing
Lex, how much did you cashout at the Bellagio?
Yeah pocket jacks tuff beat by so many hands only beat ak he made a good turn bet what ya going to do 😎
Been a sub since the early daze...
Another nice video, thank you!
Awesome bro would love to have u to at my house game in Ft lauderdale
What would Rogue have done?
I applaud Lex for showing the bluff against him with the pocket J’s. Easy to say call when your watching, you have someone shove $600 then $1,000 on the turn knowing he’s jamming his stack on the river with the possibility of a ace or king showing up. All you nay-sayers wouldn’t have the balls to call the $600, forget the $1,000.
JJ...I thought it was AK. Maybe AK suited to clubs. I'd have called. The money doesn't matter. It's the game that does. I think you overthink it. Lol
Awesome session!!!
Im subscibed
