    I never played professionally, but there was times I thought about it and I’d go on these runs and make two or three grand over a handful of sessions, playing one too, and then the downswing would come and I’d lose like a grand over three or four sessions, and I just couldn’t handle it. Eventually, it was just like I always thought things were gonna go wrong. I just got in that downswing, and then you start chasing. I don’t think that’s what you’re doing, but when things are going wrong, it’s easy to compound them by chasing.
    I used to tell my friends that thought I was good at poker. It’s a tough game because you can do everything right and lose and you can do everything wrong and win. Not that I played perfect or anything, but it’s just a tough game and a hard way to make an easy living.

      ​@@KingofHeart-tw6dmlive is horrible like that.
      It is super slow, and if you go card dead for a session it can be a wasted 8 or 10 hours.
      I much prefer online, even though it is way more difficult, because you can play 100 hands per hour per table and can multi table.
      Online makes any tiny leaks in your game magnified 10x and the player pool is much better, but I would rather grind than sit at a live poker table, freezing my nuts off and bored out of my mind.

    @grandpied 10 месяцев назад +2

    The QQ hand was an obvious bluff given the villain's betting patterns and would have called that $3k river bet in a heartbeat, when in doubt play your hole cards and not the scary looking board. The villain sensed weakness due to the turn card check, check and fired out a big on on the river and it worked so well.

  • @MrI20Poker
    @MrI20Poker 10 месяцев назад +2

    Great Vlog Lex, but the check on the turn when you had the ladies would have given me all the info I needed to make that call when your oppenent bet 3k on the river. I understand how downswings makes us second guess alot of decisions on the felt. Keep your head up man you got this.

  • @crossfitnoob
    @crossfitnoob 10 месяцев назад

    On the last hand when the opponent bombed the river, my first thought was that your turn check back looked weak and maybe this guy saw an opening, but then I thought maybe he checked AT on the turn as a trap. This is why I don't play much poker anymore. I can't make the tough decisions with any confidence. Thanks for sharing the hard times too. Good luck this year.

  • @xinronggu3969
    @xinronggu3969 10 месяцев назад

    For that hand with Queens, I feel it's mostly a call. Hands with A will try to bet and get value on turn regardless if he's got a flush draw. With the flop, there are not many two pair hands he could have, and sets will mostly raise flop to deny equity for straight and flush draws. The most likely hand he had with his line of behavior was 89s, (if he got 89 of spades he would probably still raise you on flop). Aces and Kings will raise you preflop. So the big bet on river either means he had 3 hands of 89s, or any bluff hands that sensed your weakness on turn.

  • @Chessbrew
    @Chessbrew 10 месяцев назад +1

    You have to fire one more time with that pocket Queens on the turn to see if he has a flush draw or ace. I doubt anyone is checking top pair on the turn with the possible flush draw on the board or allow you to catch something higher. I bet if you weren't down, you probably would have fired another big bet.

  • @tlea31
    @tlea31 10 месяцев назад

    QQ hand. Very tempting to look him up. He does not have a set or two pair, at least on the flop, as these hands would have kept betting with all the draws out there. It is possible he had an 89s kind of hand which just got there. But there are still a heap of busted flush draws. Could he be owning your soul with a hand like AJs, going for a nice thin value bet? Seems unlikely for that sizing.

Got to give it to the guy but I was rooting for the call. Can't lie. But easy to say in this type of perspective. Tough in the midst of things!

  • @thomasrichardson-ev1wp
    @thomasrichardson-ev1wp 10 месяцев назад +1

    I thought you were ahead in theQQ hand at the end. This hand shows how aggressive players make money in big games. When he checks the A my thought was the only way he checks is if he had pocket AAs. And wants you to bet.

  • @quasar5929
    @quasar5929 10 месяцев назад +1

    Last hand feels like a fold , his check on turn doesn’t make much sense overall for his range combo draws probably bet most of the time on Ace turn and sets too . On the river it feels like AsXs hand that got some equity on the turn and slowed down . But live poker is so weird in such spots there is always the factor that they show up with some random hand and I really don’t know how we should factor that in our decision .

    Hand made zero sense on the QJ bluff. He knew when you checked back you didn’t have an A and went for the home run. I put him on a big combo draw, J9S J8s or similar. 89s worst case getting there with the 6 on the river would be the only hand I was worried about, with the big river bet but that’s the only hand he’s repping that beats you, the rest are bluffs and you unblock spade bluffs. Calling there , not wanting to.

    • @seanwaltrip5235
      @seanwaltrip5235 10 месяцев назад +8

      I agree with this comment. . Didn’t make sense. He gave up on the turn. Your check incentives him to go for the bluff on the river. With the spade flush missing and you not having a spade in your hand, combine that with the fact you stacked him earlier, I’d say this is a call. You can never be 100% but it all adds up in favor of calling in my opinion.

    • @RockOrt
      @RockOrt 10 месяцев назад +4

    @phillyTOOphilthy 10 месяцев назад

    I think the QQ is a call.. not the easiest one but considering he could be blasting from doubling you up the last hand I'd put it in.
    Also when he CR the flop and checks the turn he looks A LOT like KQ QJ with atleast 1 spade.. checks to try and realize equity on the river without getting blown off the hand. Only bad part about that is you block those off suit combos
    The good part is you checking back the turn caps your range to basically what you had in a lot of players minds and gives him the green light to blast the river

    • @Nosirt
      @Nosirt 10 месяцев назад

      The problem is he does the same with As5s. Hits an ace but no kicker, with the turn he sees that lex doesn’t have an ace so he bets on it. Worst case, he hit 2 pair like A6 on the river.

But that pk QQ hand lay down facing an aggressive dude that love to check raise you and put pressure on you, I think you allowed your post session results weight in on your decision making, if you weren't running bad as you stated you've been running, you'd probably snap call that or even thrown in that reraise yourself maybe. If this was a$2/5 games and playing it out the same, would you have still laid down pk QQ I'm that spot..

    Thought the last hand with Q's was misplayed. You have an overpair in a hand when you 3 bet the pot. What is going to just check raise you on a 10s 5d 7s board? A big draw most likely. If he has K's or A's you get 4 bet pre. 10's or 7's is possible but a large portion of the time a set(especially top set) just calls for deception. I would rather fold here than just call and give away a free card.

    Hurts even more with both those guys being on the same flush draw since you’re only getting scooped like 15% of the time from the turn. Nothin you can do though obviously
