I LOST $11,700 in 1 day playing poker…! // Poker Vlog

Playing big games at Hard Rock in Florida!

Meet Up Game Tonight! Tuesday, January 31st @ 6pm Seminole Casino Coconut creek in Florida!

never been to a meet up game before, what to expect?

[@TEAMGETHELP]

Your haters gonna love this one😁😄

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

somebody just messaged me at five minutes before your meet up game starts and says it's you I don't believe this‼️‼️😡😡

[@konst3399]

Lex I keep getting msgs from u about winning something:) true or scam?)))) 😜

[@Goldensimba815]

You have a better mentality loosing 12k then me loosing my 300 buy in in a 1-2 lol

[@tylersworldoffun1965]

He has short term Memory and Much Larger Bankroll lol

[@mikewilliams3509]

I definitely hear ya on that lol I don't get to hit a casino everyday

[@mikewilliams3509]

I just was up in omaha a few bucks but lost 30 then played hold em 25 50c and jammed 50 with qj into kk and j on flop and j on river lol I'm up 40 on the day so far took a break

[@lesliehamilton2020]

Gotta have short term memory in poker. Also, the amount is relative. Regardless 12k hurts, but his bankroll is MUCH larger.

[@MrtovalNYC]

I feel you lol 😂

[@mumblesbadly7708]

That first hand when the fish called your all-in with only a pair of 7s and a gutshot was super sick.

[@rorypicaut9742]

I’ve heard you say many times, that the life of a poker player is filled with highs and lows. Thank you for the video demonstrating that, and your great attitude and ability to stay levelheaded through it all.

[@SeeLifeBro]

I feel like this is exactly how my last two months has gone. I'll be a huge favorite on every hand, and opponents will suck out every time. All I keep telling myself is that things will balance out eventually. Gotta just keep to a solid strategy. Hang in there Lex!

[@stratabegood]

best thing for you to do is to take a break and get your bread up. a new feeling about things mentally when coming back, will make you win again as well which a break gives ya.

[@SqueakyClean87]

Lex takes a tough beat with the AJ of clubs hand. Proceeds to deal a bad beat the following day with AQ 😂

[@vidteacher]

Almost 50k subs! Showing the highs and sometimes BIG lows is the reason why. Nice comeback, Lex and thanks for the content…

[@SmegPies]

This is why I have a 2-buy in rule. Sometimes the table just isn't running your way, tough day!!

[@LMW87MMA]

The aggression on the paired boards then backing into hands really saved you - you didn't seem to have much internal doubt about how you played those hands, but seemed like you overplayed them and got really lucky

[@mattpitstick6884]

Yeah watching both of those hands I was like wow this is a huge punt. Yeah you can have AA and KK but your not gunna 3bet the flop with those. Only 3betting the flop with bluffs. Almost no fold equity either, just making it a punt.

[@greglist2991]

Glad Lex won back most of his money. Yes, correct in saying he lost his money unluckily, as he won luckily. Hope Lex sits down and re-eval his play and sees this. 1) Lex K4 ♠️ vs 74 ❤️. Yes villain got lucky w 7, but Lex got involved w calling station. Granted he pushed the action, but w those types of players all you need is top pair not even top kick, to win and get value. 2) JJ vs AJ ♣️ was a brutal bad beat. 3) AJ ♠️ vs AQ was cooler, hard to lay down w nut flush draw too. Lex winning hands: AQ off where he rivers A. Villain likely had pocket over pair, similar to how Lex lost hand #2 above(at best 6 outer, maybe 3)? Lex AJ ♦️ flopped top two, villain likely AK, AQ similar to #3? Lex JT ♣️ vs Q ♣️ _. Villain likely QQ? 😂 likely used same logical as Lex “no way opponent has 9x or Tx holdings in 3-bet pot”? And since 9, T paired unlikely holding pocket 99, TT. Yes Lex hit 2 outer river similar to #2?

[@greglist2991]

@@thomasmattheww good career move on Lex part. Every semi-pro/pro cash grinder goal 1) take down big tourney 2) invite to HIGH stakes home game/livestream like HCL to play w rec whales. He doesn’t want to toil $40-50/hourly, or picking +ev spots in 5/10 games forever? Since he’s unwilling to play/improve in tourney, must play more aggressive style(more bluffs) ie Rampage. Yes the up/down swings more drastic > typical nit play. But that’s what gets livestream invites.

[@greglist2991]

@@thomasmattheww HCL is either rec or cusp of regs. No “pros” except Garrett. Can’t speak of streams in TX, FL. But think are mostly regs trying to take their shot at higher stakes. And understandably Lex doesn’t like to play w pros at table. I would feel the same way, if I was grinding like Lex why play vs quality players. I would do same in low stake games if I wound up at table w all good tight players, ask for table change.

[@easymoney7007]

@@greglist2991 Good analysis. The only difference in the two sessions is the attitude after each. Amazing how poker players can justify winning or losing.

[@rickfeld7995]

Sometimes you are the dog, sometimes the hydrant. Your a great player & a great vlogger. Keep it up & thanks for all u do.

[@TheBestMan77777]

It’s good to see the highs and lows of poker. Poker is a lot like life, we can do everything right and still lose.. in the long run, we come out on top. Love the channel boss.

[@jasonbudge8023]

Love watching grinders on KZbin. Very entertaining. My favorite line they all use…” this line didn’t make sense”

[@DStern20]

Another vlogger I watch always says that you have your biggest losing sessions in the best games and this was a great example. Nice to see an immediate bounce back.

[@mumblesbadly7708]

That’s what keep the fish returning to the game and losing back their previous winnings when they got lucky plus lose more!

[@roguemerlin1969]

Variance is a part of the game, sometimes big ups followed by big downs. Love your vids, keep up the grind.

[@lowellwerner9717]

I'm happy you had a wonderful comeback. Losing doesn't look good on you. You are a very hard worker at everything you do in life. I admire your courage and discipline.

[@JasonHall1984]

You're an absolute beast! This was one of your most exciting vlogs to watch... thanks for sharing!

[@MrCrpayne79]

Damn Lex....that first hand is exactly what happens everytime I go play and why I can't ever understand poker rationale at all sometimes

[@nicholi2789]

Jesus that was brutal. We’ve all had sessions like that where you can’t win a hand. Though mine are usually 400 a pop not 2500. Lol. That’s why I set myself a three buy in max

[@backyardgrowinjayson4296]

I started at the end of the video to see if you were going to say you rebounded with a crazy session again like you did last time. lo & behold you did, but as i rewind i see you actually posted some hands from this miracle recovery session. Bravo for that. Some times it comes in streaks. Well done.

[@ericpaul9012]

Before i start... I rarely post negative comments.... not sure I agree with alot of your decisions here... And if you felt you did bad the 1st day... I honestly feel like you did worse the 2nd day.... He had you crushed and I feel like in these last two days... you needed to learn when to give up certain hands... I really enjoy your content... normally I agree with you 95% of the time... this is one of those 5% and I felt like a comment was needed here... Hope you learn cause this could have been another big negative session... but glad you made alot of it back cause I didn't feel like you were playing like you normally do if that makes any sense? But keep up the grind

[@davidgeorgecross815]

These were my thoughts also...

[@caymanchronicles4753]

He definitely played better in the first session than the second session

[@jayshuadeleon9436]

Nice comeback lex o ! Way to get back after it and not letting that huge loss get to you 💪🏽🙏🏽

Thanks for showing reality most are showing wins thanks for keeping it real Lex.

Having one of the worst poker/work weeks I've ever experienced. Watching you face the same feats really helps, good video! edit: grammar

[@pot_kivach160]

thank you for sharing this! I mean it. I just learnt to never pressure a CS. Never! Just because I can't. . That hand with 74 calling all your bets/raises/3bets (??), is mind boggling. This regardless of the outcome.

[@konst3399]

Congratulations Lex! Awesome video as usual 😎

[@graemekrone6436]

Wow, sweet come back Lex! Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

[@caymanchronicles4753]

The irony is that you played much better in the session you lost than in the session you won.

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Crazy 2 day swing !! Thanks for this one Lex!

[@mattsivits9834]

The fact that you show your losses makes me proud… those nights are part of poker…. I could sit here and tell you about losses and bad beats… I won’t, but they happen

[@markstakelbeck8889]

I love to hear that you went right back and won most of that money back. You have to stick with it sometimes. Good job man nice video.

[@kumaitallawati3408]

Hey Lex, your vlog is amazing, one small piece of suggestion, don’t tell us in advance the results of the session, you take away the element of surprise. Itll be more exciting not to know the end results and figuring it out as it goes. Also makes it more unpredictable. Keep it up! Cheering for you!

[@akitoyeptho8775]

I must say.. u have matured in poker.. few years ago. I don't think u would have reacted in this manner to such a huge loss Proud of u bro

The 74 calling that flop 3 bet would crush my soul

JJ vs AJ oh my god that is sick. River A arrives way too often. 3 outs max on that river for 7k. So brutal.

[@davidthompson62]

Let this be a warning to all novice/intermediate poker players; it can be very difficult to beat a guy with very deep pockets; he can afford to go all-in all night and lose….can you? In other words, he only has to hit once to take all your chips; you can’t do the same to him. PS-You have to know when to call it a night to regroup for the next session.

[@AirRaider56]

Next time you play at Hollywood let me know. If you’re jamming jacks in dumb situations I would gladly take that money.

[@PuckPicksbrad]

First hand is so brutal 🤣

[@paule8536]

It seems you over bloat pots. I think you are the action player !

[@TrikaftaTroy]

Loving the videos, but why are you pausing instead of letting the video play out, like normal?

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Lex, I agree that stinking to your game and you’ll ride the variance in the right direction before you know it.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

I tried playing more aggressive with 'no call' poker, either just fold or raise hands and the variants were crazy but I did discover that the old saying is true that aggression wins hands, you just have to have the balls and the bankroll to do it which I have neither to do long term.

[@mikewilliams3509]

I love qj j10 suited ... just works out a lot .. good going lex

How not play poker 101.

It always sucks getting your big win right after a big loss. It would feel nice to be up big time for a while instead of feeling like you’ve just recovered.

ouch, I'm on a downswing myself and im taking a breather because I had to use my bankroll for life things. Sucks. Been crushed by 4 to a flush after getting it good as well as just getting sucked out on

[@fastfunpokerjamie124]

That JT hand is nuts you def ruined that guys day… what’s the plan on a blank river are you calling off?

[@buk6199]

I lost $500 on Sat. It was as bad as yours. They keep catching up to me on the river. There's nothing I could do . The last straw was when I got the nit straight on the turn and bet $85 and 23 of clubs called and got the runner runner flush , of course

[@iglesiasnando]

Lex don't put the results of your sessions beforehand, it takes off the thrill. It's like to go to the cine knowing the end of the movie.

[@cbasslobbys379]

Ace from space 🚀

[@davezajacjr.5494]

I recently had set over set over set on the flop with middle set, and top boat go down to quads in the same day!!! three sets on the flop won't happen again for the rest of my life, and losing to quads on the river prob won't happen for the rest of the year, especially not with top boat. For those two things to happen within two hours was just HORRENDOUS. I won 90% of it back the very next day.

🤮🤮🤮🤮 bro these hands were sick. I feel fir ya

[@robertblair7698]

You have upped the level of aggression in your game. Seeing it over the last half dozen videos. Has this been suggested by a poker coach, or have you decided for yourself to take this approach? Your standard game to this point has stood you well. Why the switch to Eathan (Rampage) style?

[@michaelkazz]

The ways you lost on Day 1 after your third buy-in I would have headed home quicker then a Vampire at Dawn😆😂

How many vlogs would he be crying if that last hand would have happened to him?

[@mikehill8881]

It seems like my last several sessions have gone that way. Cooler after cooler. And getting sucked out on the river. I don’t have your bankroll but it still sucks

[@bill8by5]

Peaks and valleys Lex......peaks and valleys. I do believe - my opinion here - you take risks by betting on the outcome before it gets there. But, whatever works for you. I also think your ability to call your opponents hand is inaccurate and needs refining - again, just my opinion. I really enjoy your videos, largely because of the reality. Far too many are on here with selling part of their commitment which means they are playing with backers who have a stake in their game. Definitely not into that. Keeping it real is what it's all about. Great job, my Brother. Where's Rogue?

[@JYLee-rr1sy]

Although most people will rightly see the first hand call by the 74s as sick, I think it's not a terrible call if he read you for a flush draw. You didn't 3 bet pre so you don't have a big J (KJ, AJ, or big PP like 10s, JJ, QQ, etc.). So what are you leading out on? Not a set or big J and probably not big pockets. Maybe J10, J9s, JQ? Most likely wouldn't lead out but possible if you wanted to try and pot control or block a bigger c bet. You correctly analyzed that you look weak and you do. A set would likely check raise. Also, what hand flats pre out of position, leads and 4 bets the flop? Sets, combo draws maybe but that's when the live read comes into play. He just didn't read you for a big hand and made the call.

[@Filipebraganca0305]

Good job, Lex!

[@conspiracybuilder]

Amazing!

[@mobetta1862]

If someone jams all in shouldn't they be showing first?

[@tcwhiting]

Lex I have a question for you.. when you run into a difficult situation like this ,, do you ever think of switching to different table? Or do you get stuck in the idea of wanting to beat that table that your having trouble on??

[@jtome84-91]

Nice come back !

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

In the third rebuy at 5:36 that is one goofy looking $25 chip‼️®️™️

[@MecheGT]

I don't know why but my losing on PLO hurt more than this and it's less money

[@antoniorada2036]

is it me or did one of those 25$ green chip look odd on your rebuy

[@ronaldbarnes1746]

The first hand losing to pair of sevens. I almost threw up. The AJ hand the same. Mistake with your AJ suited hand is since you would of called all in. You should of bet all in instead. Very little fold equity from maniac. But he could of folded though unlikely.

[@lorenzopileri9549]

is the hand jj vs aj real? I mean, there are people playing big stakes doing that kind of things? you have two big balls when you go to play again the next day and be able not thinking about that

[@fevolenko3995]

First hand. Imo makes no sense to reraise him unless you go all in. If your hand was that strong you'd call or shove...
