One of my fondest memories from Twitch and it always will be. One of the toughest fields I have ever played in. Every table had some of the best in the world on it. I'm very happy with my shortstack/ICM (payjumps) decisions. I've done tons of reviewing and I'm very happy with the adjustments. Shoutout to spraggy as well who was an absolute champ in all of this and just a great guy in general. Hope you enjoy.
That hand when you had 88 vs C Darwin’s QQ. He literally checked back the turn when you hit your set of 8’s and then just calls the tiny bet on the river. It’s like he can see your cards and knows exactly when he’s beat to lose the absolute minimum. That’s insane!
@@tomba7342 I think the only hands who would call the 3bet preflop and call the flop are 66+ ( maybe AJs/AQs, but's that's questionable). So he could get value from 66, 77, TT and JJ, but its hard to get 3 streets of value. Also could Lex have slowplayed AA or KK, so I think he was cautious. A raise on the river would make no sense, because he only gets called by better. However, I would have bet the turn and have gone broke.
1:13:02 just for curiosity what do you do if the guy decides to shove. I know that's the line noone ever takes with A there. Annd ofc you know it, and he knows it... So what happenes when he does jam ???? You just fold bcs of all of mentioned ? Then why doesnt he do it ?
I have learned so much by watching your streams, thank you so much for all you do for the poker community. U deserve all the recent success, cause you worked your ass off!
Geweldige prestatie Lex! Ik scroll altijd door youtube heen in de hoop dat je een stream gepost hebt. Ik leef met je mee alsof het mijn eigen toernooien zijn die ik speel. Keep up the good work. Je hebt absoluut mijn gun factor!!
Hi . I'am very tempted to ask a littel question. my question is : is there any poker table where no player can mack a (raising) until the last card comes down (river) . And when the last card cames down any player can raising as he want . Thank you for reading my comment and for this great video .
Hi Lex, can you please explain that All-In against that early opening at 43:38 to me? Is it, because you have him covered and the BTN has a wide calling range? I‘m always happy to learn.
hey lex the 108s hand is very interesting at 53:55. did you ever look at that to see if you were correct in folding the turn? i guess technically you were not priced in but then when you factor in implied odds. but on the bubble to. seriously interesting hand. any thoughts on that would be cool!
And always talking about perfect bet lol. Why watch his stream when he never make this call everyone want to see. And if he play this hand he cannot fold on this turncard thats just chips wasting no sense play
After hearing all the stories about this I finally get to see it. Also after to listening to spraggy on poker in the ears about this day what a gent he is. Both of you are. Awesome ambassadors for this wonderful game. GG Lex
Lex, you're a better player than me, I freely admit that, but I think you made a mistake regarding the hand at 1:10:00 (when you had the set of 7's, which was nicely hidden because of turn check.) Here's my reasoning, if you feel I'm STILL wrong after reading, don't be shy, tell me I'm a idiot! The smartest thing to do imo, given that EXACT situation (out of position, against an aggressive player with a HUGE CHIP STACK, who is LIKELY already drawing dead or INCREDIBLY thin) was CALL his turn-bet, and LEAD the river (for 20% pot) on TOTAL BRICKS, just to prevent him checking-thru his (occasional) top pair holdings. And, a 20% bet could be interpreted as VALUE or a BLOCKER. However, if a spade or 10, J, Q, K comes (cards that give his BLUFFS credibility, AND cards that could VERY-WELL improve him to two-pair or trips) you CHECK, and go for the throat with a check-raise. If he has ONE high spade, he HAS to bluff (almost) if you check, and a 3rd spade comes on the river. If he hits two pair or trip queens, he almost HAS to value bet if you check. In short, I guess because of your nemesis chip-stack, and his position, I give his turn bet VERY little credibility. And, when someone has a weak hand, with almost no equity, you don't want to raise them out. Last thing bro, the strategy I've discussed here takes immense balls, and I couldn't do it in a MILLION YEARS for a 10k buy-in. I would have done the same thing you did, and re-raise him all-in. But, I think the OPTIMAL STRATEGY would be what I've discussed. But, again, you're better than me. I could be wrong. I'm definitely idiotic from time to time.
I think Lex is the only poker "pro" I'd give my money to (as a potential investment.) I mean that sincerely. I wouldn't give it to Dwan or Ivey or any of those guys. But, Lex, I PROBABLY would. He is probably, one of the best in the WORLD, at SPOTTING hand-to-hand opportunities, are understanding the EXACT VALUE of calling, checking, or folding, in EACH unique situation. I've been playing over 20 years, with success, so I don't give-out compliments easily. But, this dude deserves them. #Respect.
do u know sicker multi tabler than markovitius,he is playin 5k main 180man sng,hot 3.30 and all scoops..total sicko,i think i have never saw him below 18-20 tabbles
Lex is amazing, how would you compare him to say, Jeff Gross or Matthew Staples? (Two other amazing players) I've played in some $1 tournaments before, I almost never cash and I've never made a final table. So I know how tough it is!
no...no you don't actually know how tough this is. When you gonna start making some final tables here and there, you will realize how tough it really is to keep your money, and to not tilt when youre on a downswing
56:00 this is worst played hand ever, calling from the small blind with T8 to check fold turn with infinate outs, the call pre is terrible followed by terrible fold on turn, i dont think inhave ever seen Lex butcher a hand this much before !
I just watched hand back, didn't realise cut off actually limped, but stick by the turn fold, ICM or not once we see this turn, with implied odds you just can't fold
Awesome!!!! I havent won one since a PLO HI/Low last 7/30/19, with 9 wins, I want my 10th bad, and have watched your streams for inspiration! Keep Doin what u Do! Jn
Don’t follow as close as maybe I did 5 years ago but 🍻 anyway. I’ll throw in a shoutout to young Lex on high stakes to not be so damn aggressive all the time. This whole getting older shit sucks. Dude your chat, you may want to move away from the screen in case it gets overwhelmed by emojis. 😂 I’m not thinking in standard poker shit anymore.✊ Glad I stayed till end to see the real celebration of #1 twitch streamer for the day. That is the poker streaming 🐐.
One outta five huh? Have you been on ACR? Not been my experience. Love the stream. Thanks for the content. One of the best streams out there Lex!! Please keep em coming.
lex in my openion you said its not big deal its hurts but not to much but i think a9 vs a4 then hatrick suckout that hand was veryy veryyy important i think most important hand if you winn that hand you can pressure you can do moves and everything this is your game to make moves and stuff but after what hand you have to slow down and wait some big hands : (
About my comment on last video which got the like from thus beast.. Thanks so much.. Big fan.. One day like this is worth all the agony of those many bad beats and deep runs not getting converted into big scores.. I guess this why we play.. Well played champ.. True pro Thanks for all the content.. Keep them coming..
Where good Player, in my opion one of the Best after Phil Ivey. Ich würde gerne mal ein schönes Turnier spielen. Was meinst du LEX, geht da eine Finanzspritze bei Pokerstars?
Congrats on the deep run considering like you said being short from the money bubble. Played the short stack perfectly. I’m sure it’s humbling to know how many people watch/learn/get entertained by your stream!
Im not really sure but i think in a big tournament like this its better to be more nitty. Because nearly everybody playing is a reg or pro. They could pick up on the fact hes not beating a boat and blast him off the hand. But im just a low stakes player what do i know *shrug*
In turn a good raise is like 32..that goes like a nice bluff and a good way to try to take that pot, more having that 9...and he must call.., don't raise..or maybe yes..and don't see a 9 more or a A on river..you just put 50more..and you took more too. 34..to 82..big diference. A hand to play it..with that A on flop..to win a lot or lose a lot..dont worry
@@jamessmith5674 what hands do you realistically think would call you that you actually beat on a paired board? the second nut flush was probably the only one but with 3 clubs out there already the chances of him having a boat when you raise are just so high and worse hands he will just fold.
I used to grind mtts low-mid level, read 2p2, watch coaching videos so I could say for myself i was regular in poker scene.I still do play when I have time.Why am I telling this?Because I am pointing out that this claim is not coming from one of those onLiNe pOkEr iS rIgGed fish, but guys I SWEAR on my life when it comes to flops consistent of just one card, 666 is the most often one on the Pokerstars.I have noticed that long time ago but just recently started do print screen when it happens and already have two at really small sample cause as I said I don't play very often these days. Anyways, now I am seeing it lex's video and few days ago I've seen them in some other twich-video(can't recall which streamer, possibly bbz or j.staples) which make realy start to wonder wtf is going on:)
@@milanz2265 That makes no sense. You see them more because they see the most flops. The low pocket pairs will be folded more than 66, and the highest pocket pairs will be 3-bet the most. So eventually 66-99 will see the most flop statistically, and therefore make more sets.
Great run man. I’m a long time UA-cam viewer of yours and just recently subbed for the first time. You must move the sub emote form the top middle. It blocks hands when it’s all in vs the top seated player (couldn’t see bencb’s hand in your knockout hand until the river)
AQ is not a monster hand in tournaments .. I wish you would play more tight when there’s this much money at stake .. you had a decent chip stack to make final table
MR M no its not. Bunch of zeros missing. Buy in wise yes, but do you consider 62$ and 62k$ as equal? And how many times is a regular person going to play 10k$ tournament? And how much more happy would one be cashing 62k in 10k tourney than 62$ in 10$ tourney. Just asking.
One of my fondest memories from Twitch and it always will be. One of the toughest fields I have ever played in. Every table had some of the best in the world on it. I'm very happy with my shortstack/ICM (payjumps) decisions. I've done tons of reviewing and I'm very happy with the adjustments.

Was watching both of you in the run on twitch, was such a wholesome moment you both celebrating each other! Such bromance, congrats on the record!
Your a legend mate love watching your videos wish u all the best in the future bro
Awesome seeing you battle for so long on tables filled with the best high stakes crushers. Great run Lex!
you have to win your 20/80s
1:05:27 I love the respect Lex gives to his buddy Spraggy. Another reason why Lex is the king!
Lex thank you for your videos, it's a really pleasure for me
Ghizmo yes!
58:32 DAMN that is devastating. being bubble with AK and about 50 BB's, and losing to a 55..... $10K buy in, losing to 55 on Bubble...
Heart breaking
That hand when you had 88 vs C Darwin’s QQ. He literally checked back the turn when you hit your set of 8’s and then just calls the tiny bet on the river. It’s like he can see your cards and knows exactly when he’s beat to lose the absolute minimum. That’s insane!
One of the greatest. That hand taught me a lot
Did he know he was beat on the flop or turn or was he just playing it safe? I mean if you have queens you have to get value out of it.
@@tomba7342 I think the only hands who would call the 3bet preflop and call the flop are 66+ ( maybe AJs/AQs, but's that's questionable). So he could get value from 66, 77, TT and JJ, but its hard to get 3 streets of value. Also could Lex have slowplayed AA or KK, so I think he was cautious. A raise on the river would make no sense, because he only gets called by better. However, I would have bet the turn and have gone broke.
hi, i'm at work. could you give me a time stamp please?
@@jensDuchateau 39:48 is the hand
It was great to be a part of the 57K viewers and ready for some new Lex Veldhuis milestones on Twitch !
Best turn card i have ever seen on a stream and probably the best turn lex had ever seen in his lifenat that point! Niiiiice LFG
48:10 insane play! Well played Lex!
Lucky
1:13:02 just for curiosity what do you do if the guy decides to shove. I know that's the line noone ever takes with A there. Annd ofc you know it, and he knows it... So what happenes when he does jam ???? You just fold bcs of all of mentioned ? Then why doesnt he do it ?

Lex, Spraggy and Tonka on same table of the 10k main? No way that polerstars has not set that up! The chance of this being random is way too low!

Lex what level are u on stars, supernova?
Well done sir!! 🤙🤙
3:02 why did u just call? Absolutely clear he didn't have full house with those 9.

Fuck yea Lex, made me so happy to see this/you! Haven’t watched you play in so long!

Uh lex u can def still raise river with a flush on a paired board
Im not really sure but i think in a big tournament like this its better to be more nitty. Because nearly everybody playing is a reg or pro. They could pick up on the fact hes not beating a boat and blast him off the hand. But im just a low stakes player what do i know *shrug*
that AKhh v 55 aipf hand on the bubble is sooooo interesting. veeea is such a sicko, and he knows it.
Is Lex the last real pro left on Sh*tstars ?
I feel like I play close to the same way u just did and idk what it is I get sucked out on it feels like everytime
does someone knows what place BENCB took?
You're the best) Lex, waiting next video where you'll take tournament. GL
Loved the run!
What a dream man... and to have scraggy running right there with u, how fucking cool. Congrats.
what casino/ cardroom is this

A hand to play it..with that A on flop..to win a lot or lose a lot..dont worry
great run, you played so well.
I know this AA vs T6 vs spraggy. So thats an old Video?
how old is this game
Does some1 know why they 8-max main events so much? What's the logic behind it? Most of us are used to 9 max i guess...
Flops top two with 96 vs JJ first hand...oh to run like Lex just for one day lol
So why not reraise the nut flush?
I believe you make your hands not sit and wait for a hand 23 75 j4 they are kk to me if played correctly my opinion

Great run man. I’m a long time UA-cam viewer of yours and just recently subbed for the first time. You must move the sub emote form the top middle. It blocks hands when it’s all in vs the top seated player (couldn’t see bencb’s hand in your knockout hand until the river)
That bet vs spraggy at the end. Won but at what cost m8
good game mate !!! congratz 2 u ;-) you could win this tournament ... in the end you look tired that's why 👍👍👍👍👍 but anyway it was good game 👍✌
How Much did he win?
AQ is not a monster hand in tournaments .. I wish you would play more tight when there’s this much money at stake .. you had a decent chip stack to make final table
awe the A9 vs A5 and he makes the str8
55:58 how in the fucking world can u fold there omg
62k mate, well done. I'm lucky if I win 65 quid 😂😂
Tbf winning 62k from a 10k tournament is the same as winning £62 from a £10 tournament
MR M no its not. Bunch of zeros missing. Buy in wise yes, but do you consider 62$ and 62k$ as equal? And how many times is a regular person going to play 10k$ tournament? And how much more happy would one be cashing 62k in 10k tourney than 62$ in 10$ tourney. Just asking.
Plus its much more likely to cash 62$ in 10$ tourney than 62k$ in 10k$ tourney just because the field is beyond fucking belief in 10k$.
Cdarwin is a legend in onlibe poker pocket queens he checks even qeen of cluvs in his hand and just calls river what a pro.. most go broke there
