I flopped a SET against MANIAC Tony G || Lex Reflects

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

What's worse, someone fist pumping and then calling your all-in? Or someone doing a whole speech and showing the nuts?

[@BT-vv1il]

Whole speech and showing the nuts. At least the fist pump is a show of emotion and excitement, and I can’t fault them especially if it’s for a huge pot in a tournament. To give a speech and then show the nuts is literally just being an asshole for no reason

[@niekverhoogt9153]

Showing the nuts with that damn speech

[@naantjez]

Both cunt moves, latter is a lil worse i think

[@heldernunesdantas3627]

both are terrible

[@farisiq]

idont know lex, maybe this is an edit or whatever, but in this video as soon as you say i have a set, he goes and says i have the nuts and then he goes on with the speech, and to answer your question ya the latter is definitely more tilting :D

[@btay2471]

10:25 this backstory is part of why this series is the greatest poker content I’ve ever seen. Good shit Lex

[@dkizxpt-su3ze]

7:34 "If you lose a buyin and you wanna put your fist through the TV you might want to consider playing lower stakes" 🤣🤣🤣 This is why I love Lex

[@patleaf2432]

I think the coolest part of this series is showing how much a poker pro back then really understood. Lex was a familiar face but did not have star power or recognition like Dnegs or tony G or PH you know the MASSIVE stars of poker. So in a way players like Lex, were sort of the supporting actors of the poker drama tv show back then. Its cool to see just how prepared they were (or werent) to be playing in these big TV games.

[@hyang2950]

Love the back stories on the players and the loose cannons, make it so much more enjoyable with all these behind the scene reveals.

[@johnrupesh4535]

I love Lex reflects. By far the best series.

[@oliviertan4154]

Hey Lex, great analysis as always! I also love the fact that you provided context into the hands and told us parts of them that were edited out, would love more poker stories if yo have them!

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Whenever I can I will share! Thanks Olivier!

[@Pendoza84]

Maat vind het zo tof dat je zo open naar al die handen kijkt. Ik wil al meer dan een decade weten hoe je over al deze handen dacht. Nu is eindelijk het moment daar! Nu pokerstars weer in NL toegankelijk en we kunnen gaan binnenharken!

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Thanks gozer!

[@joshuarrichie27]

Damn David was such a class act, sucks he didn't win the package.

[@janpiet9921]

He still made like 100k+ on the show right?

[@FekalniVuz]

@@janpiet9921 Yeah. Also I believe in the end, the main Big game loose cannon prize - the NAPT passport - was useless anyway as Pokerstars got into some trouble with law and real money games got banned. Agree with you that David Fishman was one of the most likeable people ever though.

[@paincreator2000]

If that was the case there is a 99,8% chance PokerStars reimbursed all the buyins.

[@adrianoalves20]

The behind the scenes stories are the best!

[@johnl2276]

Hey Lex, awesome analysis once again. This is amazing content! I really appreciated your comments above playing above your bankroll. I play low-stakes cash, but have recently moved up in stakes and have been tilting like crazy. Then I watched this video and realized what you were saying applies perfectly to me. Moving back down. Thanks again!!

[@stephenmustard9082]

love the backstory on some of these big game episodes that is super cool

[@joeshab123]

I almost never subscribe to channels, I think I'm subscribed to like 4 right now. But this stuff is so damn good and interesting. And saying that he "ran like Jesus in Nikes' sealed the deal. Subbed!

[@anthonycdamico]

Great video again mate, love the insight with these hands and the honest opinion judging your own play. Not easy to do. Looking forward to the next Lex reflects!

[@EreaserNL]

I don't even play and even watch poker anymore. These videos just randomly got recommend and I'm really enjoying all the throwbacks to the big game with the extra insight!

[@jtw3002]

Wow I love all this background info on these hands, and especially the Bobby the bus info after he slow rolled jetten

[@FreeezHD]

That bankroll think is too true. When i was moving up stakes too fast i started missing good bluffing spots/ over calling. Too scared to lose a buy in/ bigger pots was holding back my winrate. (Not true on your case though :D). Super cool to hear more of those behind the scene stories, it makes these hands even more interesting! Also a question about Learn with Lex, are you only going to do tournaments? As a cash game player, would be cool to see some cash game ones aswell :)

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Maayyybeee

[@jppagetoo]

Good commentary on bankroll management. I never thought about it from that point of view.

[@D34671]

This content is GOLD Lex!!

[@MaximusMerideus]

Lex you make it all look so easy, I'm not even talking about the poker, the way you tell back stories and your camera presence is perfect. I watch and think maybe I could do what Lex is doing then reality hits me in the face and I know I would be terrible at this. I'm not even f ing around, you should host some ESPN show, maybe you had offers and you said no but I really think you would kill in any on camera hosting.

[@AustrianCitizen]

Amazing episode! Love the honesty 👍

[@810poker5]

🤣 the part about the internet connection with nuts and then lose.. karma to funny 😂 💀🤔 must have to do with the N V quote

[@Joe2L]

Great stuff. Some wise words on bankroll management in the middle there too. 👍

[@Grazzzzzel]

Lex, if you remember, who was the best poker player out of the cannons you played against? Bobby the bus got pretty lucky imo. Not sure if you played with him, but Cannon the Cannon was definitely the most impressive Cannon I’ve seen. These videos are absolutely amazing Lex I know we all look forward to them every week!

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

There was a cannon called Will I think. He played 2-4 profitably online haha

[@DTS7709]

Love these videos so much Lex. So insightful.

[@joshuag6057]

That hand vs reynolds was brutal, but you should be happy he played it terribly and won the minimum 🤷‍♂️

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

That's true!

[@HotIsNotWarm]

love the videos, perhaps you can upload some parts of your stream where you tell stories, imo they are really fun and intresting

[@jaozera99]

Absolutely top class content, keep it up Lex!

[@VyktorAbyss]

Thanks for this.. really educational and shows perfectly (thanks to solvers etc) how poker has become so much more optimised - must admit I like the action of those old days, but I'd imagine as a professional it made poker way more swingy.... Keep the content coming. Great stuff!

[@kubas2424]

Very cool video... Its a shame you ended up on the wrong side every time. Its cool to bring on the topic of editing, they could literally make anybody look like they wanted!

[@tyroneshuz]

Going to watch the other Lex Reflects episodes. I love your honesty. I watched these Big Game shows, felt awful for the math teacher.

[@findingtodd]

Love the Lex Reflects series.

[@roadhockey]

Lex have you done the high stakes poker hand where you call Doyle down with 9 2??

[@Kupferdrahtful]

Just gonna comment what everyone’s saying for your algorithm xD very fascinating stuff and to have the look behind the curtain of one of my favourite poker shows is a real icing on the cake!

[@jarirepo1172]

Actually if we think of the times when poker was lot softer, maybe it was even much more reasonable to take big risks as well since you could just rebuild it all more easily compared to now. Nowadays bankroll management is absolutely crucial, it will take time to rebuild big bankroll.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Agreed 100%

[@pageblank5558]

Great tip on bankroll management and going lower stakes. Thanks for the videos Lex!

[@mladenkuznar29]

i wish they didn't cut out the part where you let him have it because he definitely deserves it if he was giving a long speech before showing the nuts

[@dylanerks1012]

Nothing like Lex posting 8:30am EST so I have a reason to not work for 20 minutes!

"back then my bankroll was $1M" ....yah, me too Lex. Back when I was poor with just a lone milly 😁

[@finbarrhayes5878]

This was great.

[@JESUSandPoker]

Wow I can't believe they out the fight, that is insane

[@xocarroll5351]

That second hand is so confusing, why would Reynolds not raise the river with the nuts in that spot? Flat calling the nuts expecting Tony to river raise/call with two people behind seems like he's hoping to have massively coolered two people.

[@PatrickPray]

Also, even though you lost a lot on that trip, I think there was value in getting more TV time, more exposure, building your brand (although I hate that term, but that's the reality). Imo, poker players tend to watch content from other poker players that they like. At least I do. You came across well on these appearances, not flashy or pretentious, just a normal guy trying to win at poker. I would guess it helped grow your followers later on KZbin from people like me, who remember those appearances and thought you were a good player and a likable guy.

[@alexweber3098]

Nice video 🚀

[@CM-kr2ro]

He ran like Jesus on Nikes 😂❤

[@mezzanine2670]

If your image is very aggressive cant we argue that we should play our best hands very aggressive as well since the chance you are getting paid off is way higher than normal?(you say you dislike opening in the first hand)

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Even if you're aggressive there are certain things that dont make sesne though

I don't know in my country it looks like than people has the nuc they can't sit calm in the chair they start talking like I don't know what to do on the turn than 3th said comes and he manage to snap call river all in with the nuc flush for example 😂😂😂 I never ever bluffing those people anymore even with the good blockers

[@krisskrop6739]

I feel bad for David, if you hadn't have been at that table he would have won the package.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Haha I mean he lost a $50k tourney package, I lost $100,000

[@curvesdeserves7883]

Reynolds was my most dislikable person in the whole series’s by far. Sucked up to Tony G so badly and was actually such a nit the whole session but put out like he was a maniac

[@curvesdeserves7883]

@@spookmaster106 Rahim wasn’t anywhere near as annoying as Reynolds. Personally think Reynolds was way out his depth playing in this game too. Example being the QJ hand he checks back to Lex and when Tony asks him why no bet Reynolds says he was scared Lex was going for the check jam. So scared to bet for value.

Interesting how they cut out Reynolds’ speech and just showed Lex’s frustration. What a dick - showing everyone how clever you are by giving a speech and slow rolling everyone. Don’t get it at all

[@liamomalley1105]

Why the heck does Reynolds not raise with J 8 nuts??

[@26bisket50]

J8 line is the worst in poker history

[@zizou357]

Kind of pathetic when Reynolds feel the need to explain himself after every hand. Although, just calling 31k with the nuts was questionable 😆

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

Who is this Reynolds, was he the "fish"? Just calling on the river there with Tony behind hoping that he'll raise is VERY optimistic. He could have easily stacked Lex, who is showing a lot of strength betting turn and river into two opponents
