GL. know your very busy. There's a video on the Poker Bounty recently posted that I recommend no insult to you,wish you the best. The title is Your brain is bad at Poker something we have all experienced. FYI I played online for ten years .So have knowledge of the up an down swings. Have a great day 😀
You're one of the best people to explain, honestly, the life and your life. Those swings are heavy. Only seriously clever and disciplined people will come out the other end. I think you will.
You'll do well in poker. Your willingness to take a step back to analyze the situation is key to all successful steps in life. I still believe you need to take a mini vacation from poker to refresh your mind and let the past month's results go.
I noticed your sizing increased to get more value. I think it’s a tremendously positive change in your game. To hell with 30-40.% sizing. Get what you can while you can. Great job on that and best of luck with your next session.
The first hand w/ the set of 3's was the best I've seen you do hand reading in a while. Time and time again I've seen you make a large bet on the turn/river when a dynamic card came and you make a bet sizing that doesn't target the hands you want to call you down. I'm glad you got value from your non-nutted value hand, because the likelyhood of getting called by a worse hand when making a 75%+ river bet was probably highly unlikely.
I feel like Lex is one of the realist if not the realist Poker vlogger All the others seemingly win all their sessions, or they’ll win a big hand they just happened not to record etc etc y’all know what I’m talking about Lex always talking about the huge swings
@@RandomAmerican23 rewatch any random blog of his and you’ll see it yourself… dudes a known liar, just like he said he folded pocket aces pre flop and would have lost… pls tell me you ever heard of someone folding aces pre flop 🤣
What terrible call w K5d, then gets rewarded runner runner. Those are the worst losses but like u said, u have to shrug it off and keep grinding✌keep banging bro. Lex, when someone polarizes or is betting big on the river, they ALWAYS have it and they want to get the big payoff.
Great Vlog Lex, it’s like watching breaking bad, I just can’t wait for the next episode. I feel like I’m on a journey with you buddy. I can imagine how you want to create winning or exciting content but we all know you can’t force the game. You’ve got to just Vlog your grind, your followers will enjoy the journey. Hope to meet you one day mate. I’d like to shake your hand and thank you for the great content. All the best and good luck at the tables bro 😎
Way the hang in there brada Lex. I learn that now that no matter how good or bad you play, its the Variance of Poker that we have no control of it but the timing and day and the table that i see people wins so much and loose so much...Thanks for the content...
Good going Lex. Stay positive, I run a business and sometimes you have to focus on loner trends to analyse your overall position. Good to see Rogue as always!!
I understand the frustration with the downswing. I went in a 2 month cooler. Getting drawn out on 70% of the rivers. I didn’t lose as much as you but I had to take about 3 months off to clear my head and rebuild a bankroll(which I’m still trying to do). Congrats on the win!
I’m on a big downswing too, needing to rebuild my bank roll. Set over sets, full houses vs bigger ones, etc. it hurts but it is what it is. I tried going in with a different mindset, trying to put opponents in hard spots, well, I was put in tough spots and folded better hands. It’s tough when you think you’re trying hard
Great to see you win lex. I’ve been with you since you started and I appreciate all you do and being real with us all the time. Sending you all the run good!
I enjoy your content the most. You are a genuine person and honest to the bone. I have been following you from the beginning and you have become quite the player. Don't be too hard on yourself; I know you're very competitive and have way too much grit to quit. But not making every call allows you to fight again another day. All the best my friend. PS: maybe keep stats on called hands for yourself and others. Those numbers may tell you something. ???
Thanks Lex for providing all the content you do. I appreciate you showing all the undulations of playing poker...aka highs/lows. Good luck in your poker endeavors! Look forward to your future videos..
Ouch lex. Its videos like these that make me triple quadruple think everything we know about poker. Especially when you say “it was just good to be lucky this time” followed by “82% favorite i just got unlucky” 🤣🤣
Yes, that sort of downswing would me mentally crippling to me, but all pros go through it. Eventually, things will turn around and this will be history. Keep up the good work.
Glad to see that you see the light in this bad beat tunnel you have been in. You are a Seminole Hard Rock residence vlogger. I hated to see you got beat on your turf.
That was a nice call with the kk facing a $800 over bet. Definitely a tough spot to be in, even when it makes the most sense that he's bluffing, he definitely was not wanting a call with that sizing. But it's still tough to put in the calling chip. Well done.
June and July were pretty terrible for me too. Barely scraped together a winning month in June, and lost 8k in July, my first losing month in about three years. Here's to a good August for us both, gl!
Great video Lex, loved this one, I like how you are now betting more and bigger amounts, comparing your videos to the Texas Card house vlogs maybe 6 months, far more positive and aggressive and it’s working. Also don’t worry about us viewers we will watch you playing any hands 👍👍👍
Lex. Some of us do not mind 'nitty' as long as it is 'smart/winning nitty'. Even so poker is exciting enough when 'tough spots' occur.... If less exciting hands are played, then vlog 2 sessions together......... GOOD LUCK
The way you play,self reflect and call your self out on playing bad taking the blame. There’s only going up from here man great attitude! Gotta be scary gambling for a lIving. I’d love to but it’s always that what if
It feels good to have a good day among so many bad days. I always believe that if you play to be true to yourself. If you lean towards being a poker nit and it works; be a nit. If you are aggressive and it works than be aggressive. If you call with K, 5 and only have bottom pair quit. If you play tight than play a little loose to keep people guessing. If you aggressive learn to fold a little when you see them checking big hands to you all the time.
Love your vlogs Lex, I follow along trying to figure how your thinking/betting goes. Always enjoy watching you, if you ever come to the northeast would come to a meetup game.
What has happened to you lately is why I took a break from poker. Just constantly losing when I should be winning. I understand variance and that it’s gonna happen, but it just felt like I was losing everytime I got it in good.
Self awareness and being attune in your connection with your dealt hand gives you the balance to analyze each players rift of bluffing. 86% chance of winning as you mentioned in that hand but losing was a chance hand for the other player.That is why you kept winning after that because you acted professionally to not let it bother you. The losses for july is in the past and let dead dogs lay dead. The difference between success and failure is paying attention to detail of which you are a winner!
I hope you read the comments! I’ve been gambling my whole life Black Jack and also poker! I’m not a pro in no means but no Fish! I just saw your page and followed you! To be honest I appreciate all your hard work! I live out side Orange City PR! To be honest I work a 9 to 5 and I hate my life lol! Trying to study and learn Poker more seriously! I just wanted to tell you all your stuff is amazing and I’ve learned a lot! Xoxo learning ranges atm a lot of holes in my game! To be honest since starting to take it seriously! Poker is literally insane all the mathematics and even position! Atm I’m playing 1 2 NL the next two weeks going on my days off 400 buyin try and punish limpers and Liars! Lol wish me luck also Some good tournaments coming at OC
Lex. Good luck in the tourney. Was wondering if you could share the biggest difference you experienced when you started transitioning from those 1-2 games too the bigger limits, like 1-3 or 2-5. When you were starting out. Maybe as far as your strategy or the difference in the type of player you were up against. Love the videos as always. Thanks
Lex, pay attention to your inner diolauge!! When you say "These are the types of hands that have happened to me in the past few months, I get it in as a massive favorite and end up losing." I would change that negative thought to, "That's how poker works, I expect to get bad beat thats how the fish stay in the game for us to win long term." During this downswing you have to remove that negative thought process bro!! Manage expectations and do your best to quickly move on. That's what pros do!!
Hey Lex if ya ever want a free lesson (greens fee) Ill play a round w ya. I can get your power to the ball hitting it consistently. Im like a magician w people and get them to understand the dynamics behind what they are doing.
Hey lex I watch the vlogs all the time. It's good to take a break from time to time to clear your mind. Do you think that when you are recording and people know your recording that it plays a factor in the session? Thanks for the content and hopefully you get some run good!
can you do a video on what you made from poker bros and how much that contributed to your bankroll? i feel no one has covered this and it would be cool to hear
Definitely a lot more work to produce a video than play poker. But, I enjoy all the editing and graphics you put on them. It really helps to understand the process.👍
If you are going to make a living out of it you cannot take unnecessary risks. Take only those risks necessary to take advantage of a situation. Otherwise you are just gambling. Once your skills are developed so you know what to do when then experimentation will not be necessary. You should probably be evaluating your play all the time. And you were indeed making bad/risky calls.
Bankroll tracker: I was wondering what app is used by Lex to track his winnings. I use "run good" on my iphone, but they don't update it often and I'm looking to change to a better app that allows easy downloads to my PC.
I agree with most of what you said except tiny full house is playing tiny sets. I've commented a few times about the "sneaky strategy" and "disguising the hand" strategy to make more money. Makes me laugh when you get beat by one and get upset. It rarely pays off but puts you in tough predicaments very often. Betting hard and getting lucky with a tiny set of 3s isn't good strategy, unless in a final table. the 10 set all in was over bet, unless you wanted to bluff.Good luck
Lex, don’t allow what people think about you bother you!! If being nitty makes you money than by all means play like a nit I still will watch lol. Don’t lose your money for our entertainment!
Getting 3 bet from the SB who has 4k stack is a mandatory 4 bet. Not getting stacks in here is an absolute disaster. Make it $625 and get all the money in.
Next video will be $5,300 Main Event tournament from Hard Rock!!
Keep up the hard work lex
Love the tourny vids..maybe cuz I'm more of a tourny player..keep up the good work pal
Nice videos. Are you playing cash game this weekend at hard rock ? Might stop by late late Friday night , or sometime this weekend .. from chicago
GL. know your very busy. There's a video on the Poker Bounty recently posted that I recommend no insult to you,wish you the best. The title is
Your brain is bad at Poker something we have all experienced. FYI I played online for ten years .So have knowledge of the up an down swings. Have a great day 😀
Tighter play = less variance (also more winng session with lower profit per. Looser style= higher variance (also more losing sessions but bigger wins)
Lex, Props for the self-reflection on your game. I have confidence you will properly adjust and get back on the winning track. 👍🏻
You're one of the best people to explain, honestly, the life and your life. Those swings are heavy. Only seriously clever and disciplined people will come out the other end. I think you will.
FYI - I may have a biz prop for you sir. Are you on Insta?...I'll DM you there. Cheers
Love your transparency. This is why you are my favorite poker vlogger!

I would be trying to play with K5 guy as much as possible. Clearly a donkey!
Appreciate the transparency and authenticity you bring to the vlogging space! Another great video!!
Having watched over the past few months I love the increase in sizing and aggression. Seems like it’s made a huge difference in your game.

Cool vlog. Appreciate the candor. Yes, your reputation is Nitty, but as much as I enjoy Rampunts poker, Nitty is profitable.
I love the shot of Wesley when you said overplay😂
Wesley overplay! So good. My dog heard you say squirrel and freaked out lol

Nice session Lex. Losing streaks happen, refocusing and tight is right is key. Love the thought process on the KK call down. Calling bluffs is an art.
Thanks Lex for providing all the content you do. I appreciate you showing all the undulations of playing poker...aka highs/lows. Good luck in your poker endeavors! Look forward to your future videos..

Analyzing your play and fixing your leaks makes a huge difference. Glad to see some hands break your way!!
Glad for you win. Good job, that win will take a little stress off.
June and July were pretty terrible for me too. Barely scraped together a winning month in June, and lost 8k in July, my first losing month in about three years. Here's to a good August for us both, gl!
Great video. Every valley has a nearby mountain. You'll get there keep it up
You are adorable. No nonsense. Good luck for the rest of the year. 🍀
July was brutal for me as well this makes me feel better thanks for sharing Lex🙏🏻💯💰
Love the content Lex. Really surprised you aren’t at 100k subscribers yet. I think you probably need to punt more;)
Great video Lex, loved this one, I like how you are now betting more and bigger amounts, comparing your videos to the Texas Card house vlogs maybe 6 months, far more positive and aggressive and it’s working. Also don’t worry about us viewers we will watch you playing any hands 👍👍👍
Love your videos. Watching you tweak your game while still staying aggressive is fun to see.
thank you for sharing Lex, GOOD LUCK on your next session!
Great video Lex!! Nice comeback win!! Hope to see more soon!!
Good job! Glad to see you handling the down swing good. Stay at it!

Hang in there, Lex, there's always a calm after the storm!!!
Just seeing the title of this video, I don’t even know if I can handle it. Can’t imagine
It feels good to have a good day among so many bad days. I always believe that if you play to be true to yourself. If you lean towards being a poker nit and it works; be a nit.

You look lighter and focused in the intro Lex. Wise decision to take time to rest and reevaluate, it always helps me to come back stronger.
One of the best runs you have had Lex, 3-4 sets in one session? Jeez!
Your videos are great Lex some of the best ones out there
Happy you had an awesome session!
Hahaha Wesley cameo lmao. Nice touch bro
What has happened to you lately is why I took a break from poker. Just constantly losing when I should be winning. I understand variance and that it’s gonna happen, but it just felt like I was losing everytime I got it in good.

$20,000 is a drop in the ocean if you are playing 5-10-25 for days on end. That is 8 buyins of $2500.
You must be really rich if $20k is a “drop in the ocean”
At least your game selection is def getting better keep it up
See when you video you think what your viewers will think when you make certain plays. Keep grinding it will turn around.
Nice comeback, chip away.. stay positive.. and pleas please please.. More Rouge in the Vlogs!!
Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and just worry about your own game lex. Iya!
OMG that A9 runout though! Wow.
Nice win, man. The mental buff better than the buff to the stack
The A9 hand WTF for real. Magic happen for him on this one wow
At 4.30 you said AQ of hearts makes the straight but it would already have the flush 🤣🤣
If you learn from your mistakes, its not a mistake..it's a lesson
Glad the line is going up again.
Congrats on the big win Lex! Hang in there.
Way to go Lex-o ( see what I did there)😎🤣🤣. Don’t beat yourself up. You are doing great. Keep it going brother.
You will rebound…hang in there Lex.

Bottom pair, no draw. Get me a seat 🤣

I wonder on the KK hand if you had AhKh in that spot and bricked the flush, would you have jammed.
proud of u buddy, way to bounce back and keep a cool head
That running full house was really reall fd up situation
GG WP Sir! Go get them! /Love from Sweden.
Great job man lucky life keep it up !
