The best way to go through the down swing is take a week of time off, re-group your emotions and review the hands you played during your down swing section and move on. Love your vlog and keep it up Lex
It's always good to having something to look forward to when you come home after work. Those 2 pups will always make you smile no matter how bad your day might have been.
Hi Lex. Long time viewer. Generally don’t comment. However. I just felt the need to tell you that one of the main reasons I watch ur videos is because of your honesty. I still occasionally think about a video you made a long time ago when you lost a big chunk of money and you were very honest about your feelings. I think the reason that video resonated with me is because I can vividly remember a similar situation. I lost 5k once at a single session, and for me that is a lot of money. I usually play 2-5 with 2-3k….. So when I lost the 5k I just remember having some of the exact feelings you were having. So I could definitely relate. Also, side note…. I also watch for the poker content. Keep posting buddy. Take care.
Great idea giving Rogue a playmate/companion/sis...usually we leave some music or tv on with low volume to dampen the solitude factor, but adding on is the way to go! Looks like the lot of you are getting along swimmingly! ...(I had to do it!)
Hi Lex, I have just finished Invisalign. To take them out, you can get these cheap little things that are like a cross between a toothpick and a crowbar. They will save your fingernails and make it so much easier to remove them. I was wearing them for a year. It was a lot of effort but, for me, worth it.
I’m currently on a downswing. I have the same issue of losing early and clawing my way back later in the session. I’ve started buying in smaller to start, as sort of a warm up (I also am an avid weight lifter). It helps minimize losses early on, but also has the advantage of getting lighter calls from tighter players since I’m so short stacked for the first 2 hours of my 8 hour sessions. It’s worded well for me.
In case you were wondering, holding KK there are 19,600 possible flops of which only 15,180 contain no Aces, so your chances of seeing a flop with no Ace in it are 77.4%. Yes, better than 3 out of 4 flops will be free of Aces and you can happily bet knowing that you will only be beaten by Straights, Flushes, Sets and Two-pairs against you.
The last half of this was oddly therapeutic with River and Rogue and just the real talk. You’re absolutely right with the “monsters in the closet” syndrome. When you feel like nothing you do is right. Just take a moment and slow down your thinking, like you said….
I understand your pain. I do the Invisaline as well. To help take them off use whatever hand u want reach for the opposite inside of your mouth. Makes taking them out easier
It's selective memory at play; something most humans are affected by. You're forgetting about the more than 70% of the time that an A doesn't come on the flop.
Love your new edition she’ll make the other dogs life so much better as he’s always just waiting for your return now they can play and the time will shoot along also she’s young and will probably stop trashing your possessions and furniture in time!
I think the check on the turn and the call on the River was fine with aces. I really don’t think you missed that much value that club really slows the action down and if you check raise the River only better calls and worse folds out. Great video Lex
When your done with Invisalign. Make sure you keep your retainer in for 1-2 yrs after while slowly cutting back on time keeping retainer in. Otherwise your teeth will move back and you'll have to spend another $2500 to restart it like I had too
I just went through the same thing with a 6 session losing streak I took off a few days to regroup and now crushing again. Players at the Wynn know I’m stacking them once again.
Love your new girl, River. A man after my own heart, scrambled eggs, English muffin and Ben and Jerry’s! lol . I hear you on your downswings. It’s impossible to feel timid especially when the deck has not been kind. I can’t help but take it personal sometimes. Chin up, learn from past mistakes. 😊
I have Invisalign's too. The best way to describe how they feel early on is; it feels like your teeth are wearing clothes. I usually take them out by pulling them from the inside back, they come out pretty easy that way. Enjoy the hassle, its worth it in the end.
Yes. For me, it does. I have a bad habit when running bad to miss out on value, always thinking the villain is slowplaying and waiting to cooler me and trapping. I know it is bad habit. When I feel like I can't hit a flop, I overfold pre. I just get down on myself.
I’m feeling the downswing, I’m new to taking seriously, I started the year playing 1/3 and built my bankroll up to about 3500$ from nothing and my last 2 sessions I lost $1100 where I’m not even playing bad, I mean all in I had top set and a guy runner runners the nut flush, shouldn’t have been in the hand but just trying to kinda keep playing well, a little different as my bankroll is a lot smaller then yours
Hi Lex. Really enjoying your videos from South Korea, and this is the first time commenting on your video. About the last hand, I think you played the hand entirely fine. In fact, I think you played it somewhat dangerously. I thought you would probably lose when opponent bets on that river. You bet big on the flop, which narrows down opponent's range to good top pair+, some qj and 89 (I don't know the field as much as you do, but I think an open-ender without backdoor clubs would not call a 3/4 bet OOP), and flushdraws. Opponent's call with K6 without any backdoor 4-ways is a losing play IMO. He even bet out on the river with shitty top pair! It is neither a value bet nor a bluff! His value range should at least look like good 2pair+ and flushes. He is just a fish. I think you got lucky (or knew the opponent was doing that kind of nonsense) for having him on the table. You were not afraid of monsters under the bed. Your AA became just a bluff-catcher on the river. Also, you would have never got 3 streets of value against a single K anyways.
Great vlog as usual. I've doing invisalign since September of last year. So far so good. The biggest pain is eating and drinking because you have to brush all the damn time. Hope to meet you sometime in the poker streets!
Getting those out of your mouth - go two thumbs using your nails pushing up for the bottom by your lower k9s. Upper i pull down with both index and middle finger on the left and right by top k9s. They come out pretty quick that way. Keep grinding buddy!
5mo downswing here. it's unreal - and worst part is i dont know when it will end and how long it can continue. card dead, flop dead, cooler dead. really makes me question a lot - aiyahhhh winning player 2020-2022. just sucks.
I have a black lab puppy that's just a little older than her. You are right. They are very destructive dogs. They are very food oriented. My dogs like a vacuum thar sucks up anything off the floor. But it's easy to use treats to train them
I had Invisalign then later on went to braces when it was bad I would take pain killers the first day or two after I would swap to the next set same thing whenever I would get a new wire for my braces
I feel being on a down swing definitely makes me play worse. I raise lighter and convincing myself to make bad calls to try and get unstuck. I have a hard time controlling tilt so I normally don’t stay longer than 3 buy ins 😂
You are going thru a downswing and you made money today, $1250. That's a great day... Build on that. Don't second guess your play... Also, River is a beautiful looking dog.
Love the videos!!! Something I always wondered is that you never mention being in a relationship or wanting a relationship. Is being a poker player for you a "single guy thing". Do you purposely avoid being in a relationship with someone? Just always wondered that.
Instead of lamenting your luck / courage for not going for a thin value in the last hand, you should pat yourself on the back because you played it well, it could have easily been two pairs, K 10 are well within his range and if you kept barreling and he kept calling you could have easily lost $2000 in the last hand unnecessarily in case he had two pairs / a set of 7s, or you could have made a modest win, which you did,. It's exactly this kind of play that stops the leaks from your stack by minimizing losses and not getting married to the hand. A small advise from an grey haired man if I may !
I was weary but pleasantly surprised at the results from my 2 daughters in Visa lines. Their teeth were perfect in just a year. And a lot cheaper and better looking than braces but you have to put all the money up at once
@lex my wife just started invisiline. It’s hilarious when she try’s to pop it out. I don’t feel bad, it’s worth it and I was unfortunate with braces as a kid 😂
Teething probably all that stuff is. Including the licking. Just a faze! Yeah downswings suck. Taking a break cuz I busted my live roll. AA into 88 pre and binked an 8 river. Was already running bad that just stuck a fork in me on my last live session. Time for a break! 🤣
Who am I to advise on poker?! I see vlogs that players slow play AA as you did in last hand. I tell you what I do; I raise 15 times BB and I verbally tell the tale to fold, I got pocket AA ! Because I hate to lose to two pair 6868 post flop, or river 😂 that’s the fact!
I didn’t see the end of the hand yet but I had to comment, QJo hand is so bad. You didn’t mention the preflop much just that it was 6 ways and 600 in the middle so I assume, 1 or 2 limps someone makes it 100 and you plus everyone calls. You can’t call a 4x raise there with the limpers behind that could potentially limp 3 bet then when someone bets 80% 6 ways I think you just have to fold top pair third best kicker on the flop. Before I finish watching the hand I can’t imagine it went well for you
River is adorable. Love that you rescued her rather than buying a puppy from a breeder.
If people ONLY bought from breeders and breeders were the only ones allowed to have reproductive dogs then there would be far less rescues…
You're ignoring the millions of dogs that are abandoned or given up for various reasons.
Those dogs only exist though because irresponsible dog owners don’t neuter or spay their pets and let them create more muts. When purebred dogs make it to shelters they’re almost always the first ones adopted. Shelters are made up of 99% mixed dogs that came from non breeders

Why are pocket Kings such an Ace magnet? It never fails!
So very true Haha

6/8 of the last times I’ve had KK this is true!

Should we be playing cautiously and defensively all the time? You might miss out on some thin value, but small wins are better than big losses.
4 months into a 7-8 month Invisalign. You will get used to them incredibly fast. Feels like yesterday I started them. So far so good!
Welcome to the world of, "Wanting a great smile." Not much to smile about. Love your new puppy. I have a yellow Lab and i love her to death. Congrats.
Love the new pup !!! Congrats. Would love more info/education from ya on how to manage downswings. In a brutal one now.
Awesome of you to find Rogue a buddy while youre away all the time.

Confidence is everything in all areas of life. Poker is no different. Keep trusting your game and the upswing will come
The clip from always sunny in Philly is a great indicator that Lex will soon come out as Michelle and we can all be happy for him
Those Invisiline braces gotta be alot better than the old metal railroad track type we had when I was younger. You wanna talk about torture!
I just went through the same thing with a 6 session losing streak I took off a few days to regroup and now crushing again. Players at the Wynn know I’m stacking them once again.

I meant to say impossible not to feel timid when getting your ass kicked by the deck!
We demand to see rogue and river in future blogs. Adorable
These videos feel like vacations
what a sweet doggie so happy to see river come with you on your poker journey.

Awsome vlog! GG!! Really like the personal part also "we're going thru this together, mutha fk that hurt!" Lol
Love River and love the fact she is a rescue. I have a lab mix that looks like her. She will eventually stop destroying things. Love her
me too, love the fact that you rescued her, such a sweet girl
Great topic Lex..super cool to rescue River
Playing bad while experiencing a prolonged downswing is absolutely possible. It's happened to me.
Yes. For me, it does. I have a bad habit when running bad to miss out on value, always thinking the villain is slowplaying and waiting to cooler me and trapping. I know it is bad habit. When I feel like I can't hit a flop, I overfold pre. I just get down on myself.

15:00 I'm not sure how much you're ahead of the range which continues 3 times (vs bet bet bet). It'sa thin value for sure.

14:15 I knew it!!!!
You’ll love invisaline. It’ll be over before you know it. Be diligent with it and it will pay off.

You are being results oriented. AA on Kxx were played good. I doubt K6 would pay 3 streets.
Advice for the Invisalign trays is to take them off from the inside of your teeth instead of outside. Way easier to take them out.
lol “lab mix” aka pitbull 😂😂
First hand when a guy checked back a set on the river lol
Nice doggie! good luck with her.
A win is a win confidence will come back. Try using blocker bets when you are unsure. If raised get out of dodge

All my cash Game AA and kk have been getting crushed lately.
Glad you RESCUED your puppy
You should make it your TM slogan "Let's go Lex O!"
She is chewing things up due to separation anxiety. When she learns that you will always come back she will probably stop.
Damn, you got a better price than I did, and also less of a lisp than I have!
The problem with calling with kk when there’s an Ace … is future beets..
I’m desperately trying to stop this kind of call
Rogue River is that on purpose? If so that pretty cool
How do you get in on these private games at casinos? Does the casino make the invites?
I see that better call Saul at the end. Best show
They don't make you play worst they only make you quit
Where did rogue go?

Rogue 🦮 and River 🐕 make the perfect couple !!!

Take some before and after.

Should a played those kings man. He would have bet with 7s 8s9s 10s etc….

If you feel scared, why don't you move down in stakes?
You've chosen the life of a gamblers. Ups and downs come with the territory. Yes poker is gambling with the biggest player edge
It does for me
I subscribed based on the it's always sunny reference
better call saul!
I think you did pretty good
The guy checking back 77 is terrible in the first hand as played
