    Thanks Lex! Needed this video this week. February has been my worst month after having Dec and Jan being my best ever. My first session in March, I was down 800 in my 5/5 (300-600 buyin) ...stuck it out and ended up leaving with a 120 profit, long 8 hour session, my losses came in the first 3 hours.

      What you're going through mirrors what I'm going through. Great December and January, abysmal February and so far terrible March (though most of my losses are due to tournaments, but some cash games). It's really enough to make me reconsider playing poker at all. Thankfully I'm not a pro so it's not my main source of income, but still very demoralizing and makes me feel like I've completely forgotten how to play poker.

    Love it Lex. Keep the vids coming.. I started building my bankroll at $1-$2 NL($200 max buyin) & have now moved up to $1-$3($600 max buyin) & using about 30% of my roll to buyin now. I love it but taking it slowly cause I could just be on a good run. Learning alot from you vloggers thanks dude

      I also started at 1-2 and have played as big as 10-25. Strongly recommend (as most people do) you never have more than 5% of you bank roll in play. If you bankroll is 2k and your buying in for 600 you could play perfect and still run the risk of going broke

    Finally make it to the poker room last night, it’s been awhile. Sat 1-2 table and I have the exact experience you going through. I stick to my gut and continue playing, after 2 hours I finally on the green side. After 6 hrs of playing I decided too racked up, walking away with a profit. I don’t play full time or part time, I just go and play when I get a chance. I think I’m going to step up into 2-5. I been playing 1-2 for awhile and I feel good and comfortable, I probably going to play 2-5 next time.

    This is one of my favorite videos. Today, I run badly, and I also play badly. Began to blame myself and lose confidence. when I am losing an frist all-in, and my mentality is beginning to tilt. After that, I began to be reluctant to give up every big pot even though I knew I was behind. Now I realize that the influence of tilt on myself is enormous. I don't have the ability to handle tilting, so I should leave poker's table when I'm down. I will limit my buy-in in the future, because I always make wrong decisions when I am down. And began to rest and try to play some small games. Don't let the tilt of this scene continue to the next one.Thank you Lex

To get stuck early on and then lose your next few hands in a row normally from earlier episodes you would go on tilt and either lose more money and decide to go home but this time you persisted push through and end up having a winning session without going on till just awesome man your progression as a poker player is obvious and right in front of you you’re amazing well done

    Question - You're calling the $500 and you're saying you're going to cal pretty much anything, why not shove in that case? You'd have fold equity then vs none when calling on the river.

    Do you notice that when you are on extended downswings that you tend to play more passively in spots where you’d normally take the aggressive line?
    I’m noticing some of that in your play (I’ve watched nearly all your videos). I catch myself doing that sometimes on down swings too and it usually has the reverse effect and costs me more.

  • @EfficientRVer
    @EfficientRVer Рік тому

    Not a bad video. You needed to watch a video like this yourself, a long time ago. I play a different style than you, so I won't try to critique a bunch of your specific plays. But I will say that in the TT hand, I would never in a million years call that turn. For me, it is fold or shove, 100% of the time. Calling it and planning to fold to half the deck on the river, seems incorrect to me, especially when combined with the chance of losing when calling off to the other half of the deck. If you think you're ahead, get the money in before you're behind.
    Four things I'd add to your list of how to pull out of a downswing, are all along the lines of "play better", and by that I don't necessarily mean to play GTO. Most of it is about bankroll/time/attitude management, and avoiding psychological traps that can put you in a death spiral.
    1. Learn to play various styles with different variances. When on a downswing, tighten up to a lower variance style. This is sort of a variation on dropping down in stakes, for a few reasons. The most important is that it makes the play of your opponents relatively softer than your own. They're still going wild on each other in ways you can exploit as "monkey in the middle", while you're more often not even in the hand for them to exploit. The other is that you're buying greater certainty, at just the cost of time and patience.
    2. Never set a goal of "getting even before leaving" or anything along those lines. I think that's your biggest mistake in this session. Sure, you ran hot at the end, but it just as easily could have gone the other way. Thinking that a table is too good to leave, is a very common mistake. Usually, you'll be able to find just as good a game tomorrow. And if not, surely next weekend. Playing when fatigued, tilted, or feeling desperate to recoup losses, is -EV.
    3. Table selection table selection table selection. It appears you did a fine job of that this time. But it is super easy to find a weak player or two at any table, and use that as an excuse to think a table is exceptionally good, when 3/4 of the tables around you are actually better. This was maybe my own biggest leak for years on end, despite consciously working on it. I was too prone to sit there and slug it out against other good players. Even when I was the best player at the table, it was stupid when there was nobody I had a huge edge on. Even if you have to spend 1/4 of your time for 2 hours, away from the table looking for a better table, it is more +EV than slugging it out.
    4. The last thing you want to do on a big downswing, is play a bigger stack than usual. This ties in with being fixated on getting unstuck before leaving the table. If you're felted for $4000 and rebuy for $4000, by the time you're even, you're sitting there with $4000 more on the table than you rebought for. One unlucky hand or one bad decision to blast off, and you're stuck $12,000. Pressing your luck when already losing, is generally dumb, especially if what's really going on is that your opponents are outplaying you and you don't recognize it.
    It's really hard for a winning player to accept that sometimes, at some tables, even against opponents you usually beat, for reasons you can't even figure out, you are -EV for each hand that is dealt. Relative positions to other players, relative stack sizes, who is targeting whom (even if nobody is targeting you) and so forth can just create a dynamic where you can't isolate the players you want to isolate, you can't get the fold equity you need on your semi-bluffs and bluffs, or you can't get paid off on your value hands. Once you dig your heels in to slug it out, they also see that you're exploitable. At that point, you become the fish even if you technically play well.

    Just paused the video at 2:19 to say i quite often limp call with Pocket 5s and pocket 2s in order to get to see a cheap flop, try to set them cheaply to make a big profit and to be able to navigate a cheap walk away when big cards hit the flop. In your 952 hand I’d be crushing your 10/10 with this strategy. Let’s see what comes next? Back to the video ❤

    The KQh... Turn top pr n call 3bet...on the 4d river lot of bluffs missed and he could have turned some weird two pr but your hand was underrepresented... You sure that was a good fold

    Being a lightweight with alcohol is a thing to be proud of. Saves money and health. That being said, the Old Fashioned - Maker's is my favorite mixed drink when done well.
