![My TOP 10 Tips to Crush Small Stakes Tournaments [MTTs]](/img/n.gif)
Do you think the minimum of 25 buy-ins is still applicable if a person was to buy-in at (only) 100bb (vs buying in a the table maximum?). Thanks Lexy!
Okay Lexi, I was playing pro back in the late 60's, and today's game is so far beyond me that I feel I would have to completely start over again. The stamina it takes to grind is crazy. I played my way through UNR, but seriously feel I couldn't even compete today. 7 card Texas was unheard of. We played 5 card draw.
I hear ya. 😊
I'm finally playing poker in Vegas today ...... Yay!
Hooray! Good luck!
@@LexyGavinPoker 🙏♥️
I was a pro for few years we I used to hang with Jason young Josh Brikis Matt stout Ryan Eriquezzo Adam Lippert Among many others. The stress beat me up n swings so I stopped I started family n changed whole mindset. I play now as strong rec here n there but I can play not worry about outcome n just have fun . Has really changed my game as well love the vlog n content keep up great work
To me cash games are the bread and butter. Tournaments have so much variance to them. I will usually see a Tournament series and set goals in the cash game that will cover all the events I want to play and travel expenses. If I do reach my goals in the cash game then I will cut back on my entries in the tournament series.
That’s exactly what you should do! My tournament buy ins come partly from cash game winnings. 😊
I don’t work. Play poker majority online. I’d say 80% online 20% live. I don’t consider myself a pro. But I make decent money with what I’m doing. What would I be considered ?
Lucky? J/k. Sounds pretty professional 😊
Based on your experience, do u feel playing cash games is an essential necessity to be a profitable tournament player? I gave up cash a long time ago to play tournaments exclusively. I've won/cashed at about a 20-28% rate in the lower stakes. But when I do play the higher buy-in tournaments, it's definitely a different animal. I'm noticing in the later stages of those tournaments that I fare much better against the casual cash game players, but in the early stages I struggle against them. I'm noticing they tend to struggle playing short-stacked. It's getting past those first 10-15 levels of blinds is what's tough. Didn't know if having more cash game "experience" may help with that or not. I gave up cash because it tended to make me play too loose in tournaments.
I don’t think it’s essential but the more experience you have the better. My cash games help pay for tournament buy-ins.
Your content is so relatable
I appreciate that, thanks!
if you need an app to cal;culate what your poker bankroll should be, you should
consider getting your high school degree. playing CASH games with people that
you are better than and can CRUSH is the key to winning enough to survive.
All true too!
Love your channel, wisdom, sense of humor, and spirit! I am coming to play the Colossus and the Mini Main Event and hope to bump into you and Bob and say hello ❤ I'm already manifesting 🥰
That would be great! And good luck!!!
Thanks for this information, Lexy. You and Bob are awesome. Hopefully, we will meet sometime. Hopefully at Americana for burgers and whiskey.
Thanks! You’re awesome too! Whiskey at Americana together sounds good. No burgers!😅
Wow, perfect words. We agree….
Thanks😊
Thanks lexy , good pointers that I already knew ,but MUST MEMORISE !
You’re welcome 😊
I am kind of backwards with how I have gone about poker. I have studied a ton the last 3 years with barely any playing. Only live tournaments, no online or cash. I am going to start focusing on some live cash. My basic question with cash is what is the standard when it comes to tipping in live cash games. I rarely hear it mentioned. But I want to make sure I am not over doing it or under doing it.
$1 or $2 per hand. More if it’s a big pot. Gl!😊
Awesome video! Most of the poker ‘training’ people I have seen are what I call ‘Fish Farmers’ . You are nothing like this. Putting out the good, the bad and especially the ugly is refreshing to say the least! Great channel everybody❤️
I really appreciate this comment. Thanks so much
I see a lot of wsop vlogs where players are staying in the hotel for the entire wsop series and playing in almost all the tournaments. Are they using their money from past winnings or most of top pros have sponsors that provide backing for them?
All of the above. Before I lived here I would rent a place with girlfriends for the duration of the wsop. Everyone does it differently. 😊
Do you remember if the Poker Accelerator is a factor of this?
im one of those that dont wanna go pro but do study so im not the fish at table. i like to play and have fun but at the same time be decent and make the best moves while playing.
Perfect 😊
I wish i could play in wsop someday. You are my day to day good vibes. I love seeing you both playing poker. Ignore those haters. Goodluck and Godbless u lexi ❤ go go🎉
Thank you so much. Haters gonna hate! 🤷🏽♀️. I appreciate you!
Great info. Could pick your brain for days about it 😂
😊
I have watched your UA-cams for a while now and would like to ask you a very personal question: do you still consider yourself profitable if you take away your other incomes such as UA-cam revenues, training site, and sponsorships. I just really want to know how much ROI to expect if I just study well and play the game with proper bankroll management. Thank you and I look forward to your response.
Yes I am profitable :) mostly cash games, I have a consistent win rate of about 70%
Live tournaments are very high variance as you know and I am profitable but the last two World Series I have been negative which is very standard For a short sample size of 7 weeks
Can you elaborate on your come up? Did you have money in college? Did you grind up from online micro? How are you playing big enough stakes in college to just quit school?
She has explained all of in prior videos over the past 3 or 4 years. And it's in her book.
@@philabronc4667thx Phil
I didn’t have money in college and I finished school… just not law school. I earned in online tournaments and cash games. Then by commentating, coaching and hosting poker night in America among other poker related stuff. 😊
Ego is the downfall of most players they assume they're just running bad but really they're calling 5-bet shoves with A9 Like Jeff Boski did in his latest vlog 2 days ago. Then calls me a nit when I point out thats a massive punt.. Ive won the 10 superstack yesterday and just won 21 bounty hunter an hour ago hhaahah. lmao he should be taking lessons. Let him know if u see him.
That’s great GTO!
did u go pro before or after meeting bob?
Before:)
@@LexyGavinPoker even more impressive! respectfully
@@hitmanb33b3Ty!❤
These are great tips and everyone should be watching this!! You’re such a great teacher and explains everything so well..thank you for sharing and showing us the correct way to be a better poker player!!
Thanks so much Kelly. Nice of you to say. I look forward to meeting you 😊
I’m all packed up 🧳 & ready to go.. can’t wait to meet you too!! 🤗
Fish go good with Tartar sauce! YUM!
Pretty funny!😊
my name is gari i have 35K kids- i saw my kids doing well- i was also improving- i wanted to visit w cards- BUT- the thief cops around me would not let me- online> they let me play until i get deep and then i get transferred to another table what robs me with "random anything what beats gary"- one time the cops were trying to communicate to me that i should not bother> in a tournament with thousands of entries i was transferred to a table that had 3 of the ten biggest chip stax at the time- i had 3 players at my table with ten times more chips than me- BUT- how did we get 3 of the biggest chip stax at one table?- (ok michael phelps is another- i have lots of kids- i beat the world's record for a mile many times- i have kids from 5 years old> remember the movie "national velvet"?- i wasnt even born yet but elizabeth taylor had a horse named "the pie" what just jumped beecher's brook- this little kid was supposed to run fast- fukking freaky- i notice carl lewis has same body type as me- once again i say dad is five years old- michael jordan magic johnson eric dickerson tom brady john elway most of the nba) i treat poker tournaments like an athletic competition- i rest up before- my poker book says if i follow the instructions i can win- ...uh... ...duh... we may be slow but we stupid
Wtf was that rambling mess
There is no way I'll ever be a pro, but still nice to dream about it. My card runs now are so dead. My all-in rockets losing to a calling station of K-4 off when they flopped 2 pair. Stuff like that.
So frustrating! Gl in the future
Yea get me on tha team
One thing I struggle with that you didn’t mention is how to balance a relationship and poker? You’re dating a poker player so it’s easy for you but most women don’t play poker.
You need an understanding, supportive spouse for sure!
Bummed no tourney vlog today, but great timing to remind and digest these important tips as I fly out there tomorrow for an 8-day full grind. Hope to run into you! 🤙
Me too!!! Good luck!
Great content I am very interested in making the move soon to pro. I did pretty decent in a few tournaments last year for about 60K not counting cash games. I love the game and enjoy every moment of playing.
I hope you continue to do well! That’s great!
@@LexyGavinPoker Thank you love the vlog I hope you and Bob finish the summer with some new hardware.
I'm scared of going amature!!
?
sack of doritos, a three musketeers bar, a hostess cherry fruit pie, and a chocolate yoohoo drink> this is the stuff- olympic athletes eat
😅 they need the carbs I guess!
Cant go off on online players anymore, can only throw Donkey heads at them LOL! Grinding the 1C-2C tables, take forever to pro at this rate
Well I wish you the best luck!
@@LexyGavinPoker As I wish you the same especially on the bullets I have bought pieces of! :)
@@peterwyatt8322 Ty!!
Video confirms majority of advices my friends have given me who are grinders, dealers, and a pro.
I approve of this video and I hope lot of people watch this as these are real legit advices. While I feel privileged i have friends who taught me these in details, you have put these valuable advices to the public so everyone can learn.
My friends acquired some of these advices the hard way. They educate me that I should never go through their past route to learn. Im told that I can learn from watching others' mistakes.
But why is it that I feel that certain things need to be experienced than just being verbally taught. I feel tilt and frustration control is one of them.
Watching u play every day with ur husband like its a fun entertainment, helps my mind to view poker in a positive manner while lowering my entitlement of results. Humor u add of how u fired A, B, and C because they didnt work out for u, I should start doing that. 😁
Thanks for the comment Eddy. Definitely you should both study and experience! ❤
so lexi> the olympics are approaching> i have lots of kids all around the world- i expect them to show up- o look its michael jordan's little sister
I’m confused 🤔
@@LexyGavinPokerme too
@@Rookiemist8k😅
all those hot shot celeb pro poker players- dont scare me- if u get a chance to play against them u find out- they actually play like how u see them on tv> i mean> they really are that dum- do like the book says- u should always play pot odds
In order to be successful at poker someone else has to lose.
Unfortunately. That’s the way it is 😢 charity work makes you feel better about it😅
I could never go pro. I get way too emotional over some j****** calling my huge bet with Ace king and they have 10 4 offsuit and hit!
I get it!
I am torn on that one mike. I just went through having someone raise UTG and call a 3 bet that showed up with 52 off and hit a full house with it. Thats how my WSOP ended lol. But at the same time, we want these players to be playing. Just have to play enough volume for these stupid beats to average out.
I would delete this video lol
Why?
If you have any other way of making good money other than Poker, I would always suggest a person not play poker for a living and stick to your chosen profession. If you are an absolute Crusher and you have Multiple Great games to play in and you have amassed a LARGE Bankroll, then that is a little different. But Poker for a living, when you have No Safety Net (A working or wealthy spouse, wealthy or supportive parents, Trust fund) is an incredibly stressful way to make a living. It's not easy. It's not as fun as people might think.
Makes sense
I’m just going find a rich women to buy me into tournaments, then I’ll be pro
Your statement is exactly correct.
If you’re implying that Bob buys me in, you’re wrong. If not, go for it!
@@LexyGavinPokerdo you have a backer? I know you are married but how would your life look like if you were alone? Would you need another job? Zero content and coaching just strictly your pots
What’s to study? Gambling on what possible cards come up? Luck of the cards. You think you’re a Pro. Come play me. If I get the cards, you got no chance. I can read people so well.
Yes, why don’t I play? Freaking to impatient I am. lol, skill and strategy. Awe, no. All about the CARDS that come up.
@pacohealy2998 Lexy was a pro long before she ever met Bob. She made a lot of her money in cash games. Know what you are talking about before posting such a comment!
Find a nice person to donate the bankroll so I can go PRO! :)
Good idea 😅
I still hate school I give you like, but I didn’t like it. Give me an F again.
A for effort though. 😊
Lmfao. Im thinking of takimg over all of las vegas.
Good luck with that.
YES YES YES IT'S #moreBOB time and #queenofpoker @lexygavinmather can be a part of the fun also as #professorLexy!
In all seriousness, thank you so very much for the lesson today. Your generosity is a blessing. Its incredible how the way you live your life in general translates into life as a pro and vice versa. Who and how you are away and off the table matters and affect your poker & the other way around!
You’re so cute!❤
@@LexyGavinPokeri can die in peace now! #queenlexy called me CUTE! #ShuddermyHeart 😘😉
Cute AND sweet!❤
@@LexyGavinPoker Shhhhhh. I won't tell #moreBOB you called me cute. SHHH!!!
He thinks you’re cute too 😊😊
