In the AK hand I feel he got a boat with the 10 because there was only one over card and he knew you were betting so he wanted to let you bet the river to raise or Jam. From wrestling to poker great story bro 🤙
Your situation JJ I had a similar situation but I had AK. Villain jammed with 88 $150 behind. I called with AK and lost. What do you think about the call?
Lex, have you ever considered trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Your wrestling background and fitness would give you an enormous head start. The community and fellowship of most BJJ gyms is incredible, and the sport itself is super fun.
Always so real! That’s what makes your videos the best poker vlogs on UA-cam. I am sure your fans appreciate your honesty and humility. Looking forward to a meet up game soon!
The last part of this was really, really moving. You clearly have the dedication, belief and focus to become one of the very best in this game that we all love so much.
Hey Lex, thanks for putting yourself out here for our entertainment. I always enjoy your vlogs and the occasional “life chats”. You always keep it real.
This may be your best video yet. Not just the poker, but hearing your story with all your honesty was inspiring. I'm the definition of a rec player but I could see myself going the same way easily. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Thanks for the life story and your inner thoughts, Lex. You have found the key to success in your life, which is balance. Don't waste it by hasting up to higher games and stakes. You're a humble and great guy - wish you all the best!
Love the way you are so honest and Ernest about your poker career. You are definitely an all in kind of guy! It’s nice to hear that your life has better balance but you still have the fire to improve!
This video deserves a like. He’s living my life because I’m not dedicated enough to go beyond to the next level. He’s always surpassing my expectations and I look up to you. Over here in Sarasota and Tampa hard rock 1-2 2-5 people just out luck most of us. It’s great you have a lucky side and most of all the brain to do it 🤙🏽🐐
Still blows my mind that you don't have 1,000,000 subscribers yet Lex. Most people consider poker a game. I think of it more as a gift. A gift for all mankind.
That's an inspirational story Lex!!! Glad you succeeded. That's where I'm at right now. I've been studying hard for 2 years straight, and my results show it payed off. I hope you root for me to succeed as I do for you. See you on the next one. 😎
Love the back story, it helps define who you are, your dedication to be great can never be taken away, i can imagine in this day in age putting yourself out there and so more power to you, I hope I can dedicate my life to what I love
I know I'm a year late on watching this/commenting, but hearing your life story and progression has been so inspirational. Huge props for getting to where you are! I know it took a ton of hard work and it's super impressive hearing your background and how you came to be where you are. Keep it up man (even though I'm sure you're on to much bigger things at this point in late 2023 xD)
Hey Lex, met you at the Hard Rock Wednesday night…was really cool and you were super cool and was nice to chat with you….keep Vlogs coming and good luck
I can relate a lot to the things you were saying at the end of the video. I'm moving out of China soon and my goal is to become a poker UA-camr/pro like yourself. I'm in the stage where I can see myself improving and I know I can do it, there's just a lot of uncertainty atm. This video gave me confidence that it's 100% possible, thanks Lex
Like your story and your drive in what you do…… and then theirs a dogs love. I left my CF coaching career/life for another career and now working my way back mentally first. Enjoy your blog and keep grinding……
Needed to hear this today. Thanks man we’ll said and good looks hookin us up with the real deal the real story. It’s always darkest before the dawn let’s go baby big 2023 👊🏼
Hey Lex , greetings from the UK. Out of all the poker vloggs I enjoy yours the most . I myself don't drink or smoke so the only vice I have is playing poker , I absolutely love it . I retire from work in a few years and would love to take it up full time.
Your work ethic is awesome. I did college sport so understand the discipline and dedication required, but what you have done (through wrestling, cross fit and now poker) is drive yourself to be the best through pure work and obsession. It’s pretty admirable - you definitely deserve any success you have
That last minute where dad goes, “bye, honey.” is so endearing. I call my son that even tho I’m like he’s more of a dude. Fun video, Lex. Especially interesting to learn more about you. See you in TX, buddy. I know a shaman to break that TX spell of yours.
Awesome video lex you are definitely one of the best bloggers out there hope you achieve everything in life you go after. Good running to you on the tables hope to meet you one day.
Well at least your dog loves you, lol. Hey Lex thank you for putting in the work to bring us these videos. I love poker. I feel lucky that I'm able to live my dream life through you.
Balance is key in life. I struggle with that as a traveling technician working 60 to 80 hours a week, with a wife at home and five children, trying to balance out being a provider and a father and a husband. You're doing good brother
Even though you didn’t play your best this might have been your most “real” moment. When your true personality shines through in your videos, I think you’ll get more engagement. Great job.
Great video Lex, really enjoyed hearing about your journey up to this point. Looking back you can see your ups and downs and your mood and attitude seem good currently. Keep up the good work & I'll keep watching.
Wow! Really appreciate that life story at the end. I think it gives your fans a closer more intimate relationship with you. Good job and keep on grindin!
Lex, loved your story you told. Was completely shocked by the picture (State Champ pic) of the wrestler/friend I used to go against, Anthony C…. Small world! Maryland Proud!
Awesome man, i wrestled and coached my whole life. Now i am focusing on my family and getting better at the stock market. Poker has been an amazing hobbie for the last 20 years that i am also getting better at.
Your life is not ruined Lex. It's just beginning. Your dedication is exceptional thanks to your Dad's encouragement. I think you will always be a champ. Watch out for European traps. I think a lot of Europeans use this strategy. Good chess players ect.
Also I was always wondering where the calluses came from your hands. Makes sense now you workout hard. You are a great human and that’s what matters the most love it Lex!
Lex, watched you wrestle in high school and had some mutual friends. It's been so long, I didn't realize that "Lex O Poker" was you until a video about a month ago where you mentioned your last name. Great videos and always happy to see someone from Western MD being successful. Stop playing scared in big spots! Haha good luck
I like it all bet's I'd check the river after 3 straight bets with AK and he checked every time. Keep up the high quality video's Lex I enjoy watching and will be coming to Miami for a few months this summer look forward to playing some poker there after watching your video's thanks!
Lex I don’t normally comment on videos, this was very inspiring and as always it’s good to end with Rouge. My girlfriends highlight to all your vids!!!!
I think we all at some point pass through a big grind like happened to you in our own life’s. I mean for us regular people to get at nice comfortable financial situation we need to sacrifice and compromise at least for sometime. But the satisfaction of finally getting somewhere is just priceless
TY for your background story. I can relate with the intensity of studying. I'm a horse player. I crammed 6hours every morning for 3yrs, teaching myself how to handicap a race. This is my 5th year in, and I'm still at it. Trying to get to a professional level, however, I would be happy to get to create a supplemental income for now. Either way, great content! Don't stop.... Good luck!
I’d search for your channel and watch the odd video of yours but after hearing your story I’ve hit that subscribe button! Thanks for sharing your story. Glad you went all in in that first year. dogs > girls May the odds forever be in your favour Lex!
Thx for the great vids Lex … always watch as soon as posted. FWIW I think you played the AK hand vs k9x9T hand well. I’d have done the same. The last hand you had a read and went with it. Your love reads have been pretty good. So I think it’s far from terrible. (Though 89o isn’t something you often play :) Keep it up - I love the vids. And rogue of course!
Great vlog. Enjoyed hearing about your life. I recently started to move up in stakes from 1/3 to 2/5. I’m recognizing the same behavior that when I go back to 1/3, I’m playing looser and punting money.
I'm such a NIT. I "like" the video before I even watch it!! lol. Tough session bro but you're in the green so it's all good! Love your Dad calling you "honey''! Big fan bro, hope to see you at the tables soon..
Lex, You're a bright guy, with a hard-earned origin adventure story, and your whole life of adventure still ahead... but don't pigeon-hole yourself as only one thing- a crossfitter, poker-player, etc. Keep doors open, keep your passion for fitness and other wonders in life. Seek the balance, as you mentioned. Value your journey over a far-off destination. Don't be seduced into becoming "the best"; just study the life of poker players and chess players who went mad obsessing about perfection and 'solving' the game. All of your journey may be just taking you to somewhere you've not seen on the horizon yet. I've enjoyed watching your excellent content; keep up the great work.
Great video Lex. Loved the story at the end. Sounds like you give it your all no matter what you're doing, and that is the way to do it. Congrats on all your success. Hope to play against you on the felt some day.
Lex your one of my favs mostly because your absolute honesty and you remind me of me 35 years ago... Those that are totally driven to be the best end up having those sort of things absorb there entire life. It is both a curse and an asset to realize that at your young age. It took me many years to realize that lucky for me I had a great wife and business who supported me even though i have made money at poker every year for 38 years I have never truly gone pro. It did buy a lot of nice toys over the years and The first 5 years of my business it supported my business habit. I could have easily lost a business or relationship over poker it is extremely addictive and if there is a good game with a few whales almost harder to leave that table than it is to keep the other parts of life in balance.
That's some heavy shit at the end talking about your obsession with poker and how you learned so much at the expense of relationships, friends etc by dedicating a year of your life to immerse yourself in the game and study and play full time. . I am a 60 year old disabled man who is totally obsessed with poker and going to spend the next year of my life doing the same because I need to supplement my SS Disability check and need to make an extra $2,000 a month to live comfortably. I live in TX and went to the very first poker room in my entire like and played $1/$2 with $300 buy in. It was most intimidating thing ever because all I have done it play with friends at a local bar 25 cents/50 cents games with $20 buy in and now I am sitting with strangers that seemed much more aggressive and much better than my drunk buddies from the local bar who I know well and their betting style. Sitting with strangers scared the shit out of me and I went expecting to lose the $300 and to my surprise, I walked out with $997 after about 4 hours which blew my fuckimg mind. $700 profit for first time out is either beginners luck or maybe my poker skills has improved enough to hold my own with recreational players and some low level pros. Going back tomorrow and if I win again and it can be as little as $100 to $300, I realize I can actually make a living playing poker part time if I truly continue studying the game and pay my dues. So about to woodshed and study poker every morning for 4 hours as well as play everyday in the $1/$2 for the next year. I truly believe I will become a low level poker pro and be able to EASILY make an extra $2000 to $3000 a month by next year if not sooner. I was up $1100 at one point last night and was ready to quit but back-to-back bad beats. . Luckily I live by 3 major poker rooms that are very well known so now it's up to me to put the work in. Joined Masterclass to study the Phil Ivy and Daniel Negreanu classes and also looking for online training course and open to recommendations. Sorry for long post but when I heard Lex say you can make money playing poker and making $700 first time out he made me realize that becoming a professional player is very doable if I anyone is able to put the time in. Plus I have supernatural intuition about people and a mathematical mind so learning pot odds, position, bluffing, 3 betting etc seems so natural to me. Thanks for motivating me Lex and will see you one day at a final table🙏
I think playing 2 and 5 leads to losing that focus you need when grinding at higher levels , as you say you lose the value of the $$. A really great vlog Lex , we all love the honesty and integrity you show.
Hey man, good story. I appreciate how open you were about your past. I’ve thought about doing Poker professionally throughout the last 15 years, but it’s just a tough life. You seem to handle the swings well. I think balance is important in life. Sounds like you’re getting there
Love these videos. You/he plays so much more aggressive than I do but that’s probably why I sit sometimes for 10,12,14 hours just leave with what I got in for
Don’t be afraid to subscribe!
Poker Videos released every week!!
In the AK hand I feel he got a boat with the 10 because there was only one over card and he knew you were betting so he wanted to let you bet the river to raise or Jam. From wrestling to poker great story bro 🤙
Your situation JJ I had a similar situation but I had AK. Villain jammed with 88 $150 behind. I called with AK and lost. What do you think about the call?
My intuition is villain bluffed you off your AK hand due to a failed flush draw. Definitely a play I would of made.
I respect you posting ups and downs because I’ve been having bad runs lately. My bluffs are improving and overall I think I’m a better player now.
Lex, have you ever considered trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Your wrestling background and fitness would give you an enormous head start. The community and fellowship of most BJJ gyms is incredible, and the sport itself is super fun.
Always so real! That’s what makes your videos the best poker vlogs on UA-cam. I am sure your fans appreciate your honesty and humility. Looking forward to a meet up game soon!
What are you on about fruitcake!
What was your go to move ?
The last part of this was really, really moving. You clearly have the dedication, belief and focus to become one of the very best in this game that we all love so much.

I play in sarasota often always luck
Or very bad luck and 2/5 table is kinda tuff with the Asian doods or people makeing it very expensive
@chase vibration yes lol. They get it in bad still call and win to turn gut shots or rivered full houses
Still blows my mind that you don't have 1,000,000 subscribers yet Lex. Most people consider poker a game. I think of it more as a gift. A gift for all mankind.
Thanks for sharing your story man. It's great to have some context. You are very watchable, in a very authentic way., Keep up the good work!
That's an inspirational story Lex!!! Glad you succeeded. That's where I'm at right now. I've been studying hard for 2 years straight, and my results show it payed off. I hope you root for me to succeed as I do for you. See you on the next one. 😎

Lex o poker, this subtitle to the video is hilarious! Made me laugh
Lex, loved your story you told. Was completely shocked by the picture (State Champ pic) of the wrestler/friend I used to go against, Anthony C…. Small world! Maryland Proud!
Awesome man, i wrestled and coached my whole life. Now i am focusing on my family and getting better at the stock market. Poker has been an amazing hobbie for the last 20 years that i am also getting better at.
Your life is not ruined Lex. It's just beginning. Your dedication is exceptional thanks to your Dad's encouragement. I think you will always be a champ. Watch out for European traps. I think a lot of Europeans use this strategy. Good chess players ect.
Have you been taking coaching from Rampage?
When you are all in you are all in! Love the passion.
Also I was always wondering where the calluses came from your hands. Makes sense now you workout hard. You are a great human and that’s what matters the most love it Lex!
Nice video bro keep it up🔥 i really liked your story.
Lex, watched you wrestle in high school and had some mutual friends. It's been so long, I didn't realize that "Lex O Poker" was you until a video about a month ago where you mentioned your last name. Great videos and always happy to see someone from Western MD being successful. Stop playing scared in big spots! Haha good luck
Don’t worry about that last hand too much, we all fuck up sometimes. You’re dope Lex!
I like it all bet's I'd check the river after 3 straight bets with AK and he checked every time. Keep up the high quality video's Lex I enjoy watching and will be coming to Miami for a few months this summer look forward to playing some poker there after watching your video's thanks!
Lex I don’t normally comment on videos, this was very inspiring and as always it’s good to end with Rouge. My girlfriends highlight to all your vids!!!!
I think we all at some point pass through a big grind like happened to you in our own life’s. I mean for us regular people to get at nice comfortable financial situation we need to sacrifice and compromise at least for sometime. But the satisfaction of finally getting somewhere is just priceless

May the odds forever be in your favour Lex!
Thx for the great vids Lex … always watch as soon as posted.
FWIW I think you played the AK hand vs k9x9T hand well. I’d have done the same.
The last hand you had a read and went with it. Your love reads have been pretty good. So I think it’s far from terrible. (Though 89o isn’t something you often play :)
Keep it up - I love the vids. And rogue of course!
Don’t change anything man !! I follow you from 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Great career story at the end. very inspiring 👍🏻
Wonderful honesty, you're very likable guy! Stay focused and good luck.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your personal anecdotes and journey.
You're the man my guy I watch them all and will continue to
Great vlog. Enjoyed hearing about your life. I recently started to move up in stakes from 1/3 to 2/5. I’m recognizing the same behavior that when I go back to 1/3, I’m playing looser and punting money.
I'm such a NIT. I "like" the video before I even watch it!! lol. Tough session bro but you're in the green so it's all good! Love your Dad calling you "honey''! Big fan bro, hope to see you at the tables soon..
I'm glad you decided to become a professional poker player because I love your videos.
Keep pushing your limits. Videos are awesome
You have awesome story! Loved it
Great talk on your journey, Lex. Keep up the great work.
You've lived & you've learned, now enjoying a well balanced life full of new adventures & fun, good for u😁
Lex, You're a bright guy, with a hard-earned origin adventure story, and your whole life of adventure still ahead... but don't pigeon-hole yourself as only one thing- a crossfitter, poker-player, etc. Keep doors open, keep your passion for fitness and other wonders in life. Seek the balance, as you mentioned. Value your journey over a far-off destination. Don't be seduced into becoming "the best"; just study the life of poker players and chess players who went mad obsessing about perfection and 'solving' the game. All of your journey may be just taking you to somewhere you've not seen on the horizon yet. I've enjoyed watching your excellent content; keep up the great work.
I like 150-175 on the river with the AK targeting his weaker hands, also easier to call a raise if he makes it 4-600ish
Great video Lex. Loved the story at the end. Sounds like you give it your all no matter what you're doing, and that is the way to do it. Congrats on all your success. Hope to play against you on the felt some day.
That was very inspirational brother Lex!!!
Lex your one of my favs mostly because your absolute honesty and you remind me of me 35 years ago...

Love the outro with the life story.
Great video Lex!! Keep pushing I love your videos! I hope to meet up with you someday and play some cards!!
Hey man, good story. I appreciate how open you were about your past. I’ve thought about doing Poker professionally throughout the last 15 years, but it’s just a tough life. You seem to handle the swings well. I think balance is important in life. Sounds like you’re getting there
You are right and playing professional can throw off that balance. But in reality, do whatever makes you happy.
Inspirational stuff man.
Love your vids, keep up the grind.
