I MAKE a huge ERROR at the poker table FOR TONS of money!! // Poker Vlog

Playing $5/10 at Hard Rock plus a discussion at the end

[@scotth078]

Hey Lex, screw the haters. Really enjoy your content and feel you’re a pretty good player. The negative comments are folks that have too much time on their hands and are jealous that you get to play poker for living. They are the ones at 1-2 or 2-5 and can’t move up in stakes. Take care.

[@michaelpatch6392]

That’s on the mother fuckin set

[@philsouthwood2389]

Lex is the best. He is real!

[@craighurley6]

I like your vids, keep doing you bro

[@starttakinnotez]

Lex is a phenomenal player. I can't wait to see how many more levels he adds to his thought process to exploit the better players.

[@pokercurt04]

@Scott H...he plays super high stakes and crushes...I know u weren't trying to be disrespectful but calling him pretty good is less than stellar for his skill level lol

[@brucet.3239]

For what it's worth, I've watched every video of yours since day 1, and you're one of my top 2-3 vloggers hands down. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and listening to your thought process. I've also met you twice in person and you were super chill. Hope that chips away at some of the negativity. 🤣

[@davidlang4546]

I rarely comment on KZbin but wanted to say that I listened to your entire statement and can't agree more. Unfortunately the hate is sadly just common in our every day lives now. People have become so desensitized to hate that they don't understand or just don't care the harm they cause. Stay strong brother and I hope you continue to create content

[@springroll58]

lol it happens, to everyone! your transparency is appreciated, not many people would show their mistakes like that. They make us stronger tho, and I'm sure you've helped a lot of people watching this by making them double check their hand as to whether or not they had a straight lmao

[@chrisg2214]

Screw those people man! You’re killing it. I’m sure most of the people who watch that stuff Have never played higher than a 1-2 game, if that. You’re making your living from Poker and you have an awesome KZbin channel with a ton of subscribers. The “haters” are idiots. Take the best, leave the rest. I really appreciate what you do. And I watch most videos all the way.

[@josephcauthron6023]

I hope your speech gets you alot of positive reinforcement. I personally don't ever comment or read the comments that often. You have inspired me to comment more and defend the vloggers that i watch because we love your content and appreciate the time and effort that goes into what you guys do.

[@chrisalexandrich8616]

I 2nd this. Put the hater blockers on 😎

[@freddiefox8236]

Don't block them. Challenge them at the tables. Let them know when you'll be in their city and date them to show up with their money

[@ssmith3728]

Two things, Lex. First, the kitchen cabinet left open during this vlog was distracting. 🤣 Second, Lowery's Season Salt... Excellent all around product for flavoring chicken or steak! Oh yeah, today's vlog was spot on. Definitely need better behavior within the poker community (online and live). Thanks for sharing a bit of your poker life with us.

[@libertyforamericanow]

Ocd

[@martinmccloskey2435]

The cabinet door was distracting me too.

[@apocalypsepromotions7676]

We love and appreciate you Lex! Thank you for the new vlog. I would recommend that you hire a comment moderator for live chat. That way your team can delete or ban some of the more toxic haters

[@kenshaw2702]

I think it takes guts to do what all you vlogers do. Even if I was good at poker I could'nt do it. I don't have the confidence. You are a great vloger and really enjoy how you play and your insights. love what you do and am learning from you. Keep it up.

[@waltmarchant5255]

Lex, your content is excellent, always accessible and entertaining. I feel for you when you are running bad, and I truly enjoy it when you are winning. I've been watching several poker Vlogers in the past year, as a way of sharpening my game before I get back into live play. I played for many years, but I haven't played for a few years. You're helping me get a feel for current trends in game theory. You, Brad, Rampage, and other Vlogers that I watch are very good for the game! I am certain you're bringing new players into the game, and I am an old player that you are bringing back to the game. Keep it up. You don't need to play live streams to accomplish your business goals. Anyone who gives you a hard time for making a mistake knows nothing about poker. Even the best players are far from perfect.

[@ericpattersonsml]

Lex, you're my favorite poker vlogger. I like the way to explain your thought process in the hands you play and I feel like I'm gaining poker knowledge and skills from watching your vlogs. Keep up the great work. I appreciate your efforts.

[@craiggoodfellow1248]

Mate, I've watched you since the start. Your videos are brilliant, and your authenticity shines through! Fuck the haters, I know that may be really difficult, but you are winning, in poker, and I hope, life. Sending support from the UK 🇬🇧

[@mikebaxter6467]

As a local south Floridian who plays in the same rooms… and a wrestler deep down to my core… I always look forward to your videos realizing. Personally not a big fan of the rants for what it’s worth. Screw the people who want to be negative don’t let them drag you down with them. Just do you - we love the content!

[@markevil9222]

A very wise man whose name escapes me once said “They hate us cause they ain’t us”. Words to live by.

[@austinmoyer7361]

Very true easy to hate when your envious of another's lifestyle

[@mattneil1449]

They hate us cause they anus?

[@pepperdaddy777]

I don't know how poker vloggers deal with all of the negativity, but it's a big reason I would not start a channel as an amateur. Thank you for your content, I'm looking forward to more

[@chicagorealtynow]

They deal with it because KZbin pays them a lot of $$$$$

[@russrhodes2035]

Lex, I have always appreciated your showing the lows as well as the run good moments. That is what poker is, and is part of what needs to be shown. Keep it up.

[@chrismay1076]

I Don't comment on videos often. I love the vlogs and your personality. Hopefully you continue for years to come. Enjoying the ride with you, ups and downs. Good luck and Thank you Lex 🤗

[@christianslense455]

Watching you is teaching me more than watching most pros. You're a normal guy with a grasp of the game most of us think we have as well. But your understanding leans more to a feeling. Even though you know the odds are against you. It's like watching a Rocky movie😁 Keep grinding you're on to something here

[@octavia.n]

Love you work Lex. Your bit at the end has made me rethink a few things too. Keep up the great work!

[@jameslinn6918]

I appreciate your videos and insight. I don't live close enough to a casino to play regularly so this is how I stay current with the game.

[@jesseluke9326]

Man! I've never once commented on a poker vlog video (Brad, Andrew, YOU, Mariano, Rampage, CloseToBroke) ....However, I watch them all the time to see how I might play a hand differently. Thank You for addressing this issue. The internet is a wild place of hatred that also shows just how awful things have become. Keep rocking on Brother. I appreciate the Vlogs! ♥️

[@robertgonzales6545]

4 months late, but, thank you for documenting your poker journey. It's very appreciated and inspiring. I'm a player who destroyed their home games, decided to test my skill at the local card rooms (in Dallas), and is barely breaking even. You and other vloggers are helping players like me continue to grow into winning players. Thank you.

[@7CardFlushPoker]

Oh Lex, I just recently did the same thing…at my own meetup game… on the first hand. It happens man. I respect the fact that you put it out and didn’t hide it.

[@baz1543]

Just saw this video and wanted to let you know I appreciate that you put your game out there. Thanks for this Lex!

[@philsouthwood2389]

Lex, forget about the haters. They will be part of the game forever. Take it from me, a 57 year old guy grinding 2/3 trying to get to where you are. I appreciate your videos. I learn a lot and it’s great to see that things I thought that only happened to me happens to you. Please keep putting out content. For every hater you have 75 or more fans. Hang in there and thank you.

[@MyHunter888]

Really enjoy watching your videos, keep it up .. rooting for you.

[@haroldkline6253]

Your doing great Lex F. Them Keep up the great work and thank you again so much for your videos

[@jasongeorge9406]

Made it to the end Lex, initially I wanted to see you lose but slowly I've became a fan. What you said in your post playing vlog is exactly what needs to happen. Less negativity, more positivity. Keep grinding and I will continue to support your journey.

[@georgewoodward2544]

Well done Lex. Appreciate you ! I'll see you at the Hardrock one day I hope. I've been following you for years. Thanks for the entertainment

[@Matthew-gg8ep]

Great vlog Lex, I like the chat mode you went into instead of just poker hands. Good work

[@mosier76161981]

Hi Lex, well said! All you can do is be impactful where you can and keep it moving. Keep up the positive mindset. Cheers!

[@johnmar6376]

I have watched all 146 vlogs and loved every single one Lex. Keep doing what you are doing buddy.

[@sebastiendroletpoitras3738]

Appreciate you taking a stand for things to change! I would absolutely love for it to change. I also thought it was funny you mentioning vloggers and saying that wolfgang was close to broke! Obviously knowing they are 2 different vlogger's channel makes more sense but I laughed at the idea that some people may not know them all.

[@mjrich621]

Love it brother. Keep up the amazing work. Great content!

[@Justsayin717]

I have been watching you pretty much from the beginning. I really enjoy your videos and because of this, I have moved up in stakes. I didn’t have the confidence until watching you. As a female player, it’s tough, but I love the game. Please keep posting videos, you’re awesome!

[@francomelo7146]

I really enjoy the videos you create. I am a recreational player in Miami playing low stakes cash games and watching your channel really helps me improve my play style. Thank you for providing such an honest window into the poker community.

[@lennardjoe9783]

Lex, you are one of my favorite poker players because you are real. I don't think I have ever commented on KZbin, but I feel that you need to hear from those of us who just plain love to watch you play! Keep doing what you are doing brother! If I could ever meet a professional poker player, you would be on the top of my list!

[@scottgrasse1786]

My experience in life is that people that talk down on other people publicly are generally projecting there own deficiencies and insecurities on others. It makes them feel better about themselves. It's sad but I've seen it time and time again. I don't comment much but I thoroughly enjoy the content you provide and think you are an excellent player, keep up the great work!

[@mikehaddix9795]

Lex keep on doing what you do. I think the haters don't understand what you are doing. I have followed you since the beginning. I play a lot of poker mostly 1 - 3 with a $500 buy in. Just starting to get the confidence to move up to 2 - 5. For you to travel around the country and play and all these games is fantastic the content that you provide for people like me is great. I watch you Brad Owens Mariano and I watch a lot of the live streams at the Hustler and at the lodge. I have built up a bankroll enough to move to 2-5 . Straight up I love the game I love the action and by watching you and the other guys I have definitely improved my game. I would love to be in your shoes where I that's all I could do is nothing but play cards. Keep up the good work and screw the haters. I live in Tampa Florida if you ever come up to the hard Rock let me know I'll buy you a beer just for the content that you've given me through the last couple of years.

[@KEEPlT1K]

Yup same here ! Been playing 2/3 for a while now, im only 22 but i really be playing 5/5 now it makes it pretty difficult when the buyins are alot different Goodlook with you in 2/5 bro

[@ambientexpanse]

Love the 2/5 at the Tampa Hard Rock (especially now that they bumped up the max buy in to 1.5k)!

[@davidholy1864]

I never comment, but you are one of the best vloggers out there. The main reason I like watching your vlogs is your "vulnerability" and openness. There will always be haters, regardless of what the topic is about. You could sponsor "potting a plant", "cleaning out the fridge" or whatever and people out there will still hate you. Remember most of these people are dealing with mental issues.

[@scave_phase5337]

Hey lex I’ve stumbled across your vlogs and haven’t stopped watching them since. I’m not a very good player but when I watch your videos get motivated again and believe I can become a lot better. Keep up the great work. I’ll continue to watch you and hopefully I’ll improve. If I ever run into you I’ll buy you a beer

[@stevegarlich5639]

I have misread my hand before and bet it like I had the nut flush and got the player to expose a straight and muck. I turned over my hand thinking I was showing the ace high flush but it was just the ace alone. The action only increased from there. Haters just means you have success and they are jealous. We love you in Iowa!

[@kellybang9646]

Hi Lex!! Thank you for being authentic and promoting poker Vlog!! I love watching your vlogs and you’re such an awesome guy!! Please don’t stop vlogging and I hope you keep your spirits up and try to ignore the haters!! Hopefully in the future I can play poker with you and with the other poker vlog players.. stay positive and will be supporting your game!! Good luck at the tables!

[@wjhung2]

Thanks for you vlogs. I really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work!

[@drewsmagicallegacy]

I think you do great Lex and your videos not only have helped me but their very entertaining to watch. Keep doing what you're doing and those haters will continue because they just lost at the tables themselves and can't figure out why.

[@reccct]

randomly discovered your stuff a few days ago - clicked instantly. you’re a good dude Lex! keep going 🕊️

[@sumday3372]

Excellent, and much needed vlog!

[@Grover2267]

Lex, I have been watching from Day 1! You are so right about the haters. I am going to make sure when I play online and live that I remain positive. You are an inspiration!

[@vwscottvw]

Way to go Lex! What I really appreciate about your vlogs is how real it is. Yes I do want to know the good and the bad about your job. Yes I do find it entertaining. Yes I do hate trolls.

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Lex, I’ve made almost the exact same mistake several times for huge pots. I learned to just laugh it off! 😉 And I will bring it up with other players laughing at myself for having such brainfarts! 😂

[@RodEubank]

I love your content Lex. I'm another one of your subscribers who has watched almost all your vlogs. I watch you and Wolfgang Poker all the time. Hang in there and don't let haters get to you.

[@Harmonic7th]

Completely agree, Lex. I’ve been there (not in poker but in my line of work). You get 100 positive comments and 1 negative and that’s the one that eats at you. We need more positivity in this world. Thanks for being an advocate for change!

[@elmoremundell9450]

I agree .. block the haters and over time you won't have to deal with as much of it. Hopefully other creators will do the same. Block the hate and the good vibes and shine through. Take care and God bless you!

[@BoomerPoker]

Consider it a compliment I don’t see their vlogs and watch you continue to grow your stack. Blessings & great awareness video.

[@gititgood]

Keep grinding man! Live your life. I enjoy your content.

[@danielbuell7282]

Love the rant at the end Lex. I always say when you want to see people at their worst put them behind a computer screen or behind the wheel of a car. Just be you bro, keep doing what your doing. the more haters you get the more you know you are doing something right!

[@ranmaron]

People usually just jealous you're doing great I like to see your vlog and how you explain your hand. I'm learning a lot from your hand thank you.

[@domenicandriano2386]

These are envious people Lex, I can understand it getting to you but in the end just believe you’ll get the final laugh. Cheers 🥂

[@scottdeathridge1495]

Lex your one of the best poker vloggers because your raw and you show the good and the bad, poker players respect transparency. Everybody will have opinions bro keep your head up, haters make up 80% of the chat, it’s a show to the people and a job to you I feel that’s the conundrum ❤

[@richardgoerlich1261]

Agree 100% and appreciate the effort and transparency.

[@JasonG123]

You’re a good player lex and we love your content. Trollshaters are just a part of society. It’s a weird thing but you know you’re doing something good when haters are out in full force. Remember you aren’t watching them, theyre watching you. Don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t take advice from. Keep up the good work!

[@BarrettYT]

I don't often write comments on videos, but here's my take from also having several years experience in the KZbin game. Our channel is nothing to do with poker, but we experience the same kind of vibes as you do on a daily basis. Social media hate is a serious problem. 95% of the people writing such comments online would never say the same to you face-to-face, they are cowards behind a screen who most likely are dissatisfied with their own life and want others to feel the same pain that they do. I've gotten to the point of pitying people who write such comments online. In my opinion it almost always comes from deep routed envy. Most of the people watching you Lex, would love to live your lifestyle... they want to believe it's bad luck on their side for not getting to stay in nice hotels, chill by the pool during the day and make their living playing poker at night. In reality, you worked hard to get to this point & they don't want to believe that's why you're succeeding in the space. Try to keep that in mind, at least that's what I try to do and it definitely helps somewhat. Cheers, Oli

[@JohnSmith-ml2zr]

Keep up the great work lex love your content and hope you run good in all your sessions!

[@akitoyeptho8775]

hey bro. I can't comprehend what u are going through so i can't give u a good advice. but what i can say is i truly love and enjoy your videos and i hope u continue to do so

[@thehigherstandard]

The fact that you get these videos edited and posted within a matter of days of actual table time is amazing. Keep up the good work. I watch every second of every video, even when your play pisses me off sometimes :)

[@gcm323]

Your honest and transparent play has helped me a great deal - as much as anyone. Remember when Ivey mistakenly mucked his flush? Stay positive, and keep the faith. Thanks so much!

[@jonathanudesky3910]

Sorry you deal with so much hate. Love your vlog and appreciate your honesty and integrity! I think calling out haters is a good first step. Having othe poker vloggers join you on this outing of haters would be good. The more people involved the more this issue is heard.

[@HallenMartin]

To make it simple. I like what you publish and follow you with great interest.👍

[@D-Love76]

Lex, thank you for venting and posting this vlog. Unfortunately we live in this social media world that gives anyone a platform to tear anyone down so that they can feel better about their own miserable lives, without having to show their face. It takes guts, a willingness to let yourself be vulnerable, and character to do what your doing. I can't imagine how hard it must be to hear all the negative, but I truly believe that you must be doing something right to get so much hate. Keep your head up and don't compromise. I know letting the negative go won't happen over night, but it's something you can start practicing at. As you know, the more you practice the better you get. Thank you for opening yourself up and sharing your journey with us.

[@ericlouison1131]

Lex I watched all of your videos,you are doing exactly what most of us can only wish we could do including the haters. Just know the haters really hate themselves more than you, they just need to try to put it on others. Keep up the great work and continue to live the dream

[@blakemcclaren]

Good message, you reap what you sow.. people sowing negative comments will attract more negative comments. Thanks for the great vlogg and staying objective and transparent! I'm a long time fan!

[@ssetton1688]

As a female player who is improving to get to your level (5-10), I want to thank you for these videos. They’re raw, honest, and refreshing. Please keep them coming. Hope to play on a table with you one day…

[@beachbuzzard]

Don’t know if there is a answer to this unfortunately, but hopefully there is. Keyboard warriors are everywhere and they just don’t care. That’s why I rarely scan the comments - so many “pros” out there giving you and other vloggers crap. Good for you for saying what needs to be said, even if it doesn’t ultimately help. I hope it doesn’t drive you off KZbin someday. I enjoy your vlogs, enjoy your honesty, enjoy your transparency. Thanks for hanging in there through it all!

[@frankmolde6305]

You are doing a great job Lex. I love your Vlog.

[@gilsolano6354]

Lex, You are 100% CORRECT! I think the amount of hate in Poker is ridiculous. I SUPPORT your stance on finding a way to reduce/remove the negativity. If we ever meet sir, I'll buy you a drink. Please continue what you do. It's very POSITIVE that you are honest with your play & your sentiment. Thank you!!

[@andywatts3263]

Hey lex longtime, first time. I have watched your videos since day one. I always liked them because you were a real poker pro and not just trying to make content. I liked the level of analysis and thought you put into each hand. Screw the trolls and haters.

[@BryanJSmith-ne4kv]

You said it in your "rant"! "there's always gonna be haters and there's a always gonna be critics". Accept that and keep pushing

[@ericnerenberg7064]

#stoppokerhaters, #Ibacklex I’m proud of you. Lex is the kind of pro I would play with at any game. I play recreationally and play the biggest games I get invited to. I don’t like playing with people with bad attitudes. I want a good experience win or lose. I leave hater’s standing outside with their faces pressed up against the glass wishing they could be in the game. GL friend

[@mikeseale1380]

Ignore the haters Lex. I always look forward to your videos every week. I wish you would put more out. And just remember there are always those out there that are rooting for you weekend and week out.

[@mtgoxsucks435]

I for one genuinely enjoy your content. You are very authentic. My advice, don’t even bother reading the stupid comments if they bother you. In the end you have to do what will make you happy. If any idiotic trolling comments are upsetting to you, either don’t read them or reconsider whether you want to put yourself in the public eye as you are doing. It’s not worth the anguish, you can certainly just play your game without publicizing it. Good luck!

[@arturnagy6994]

Lex! I love you poker vloggers. I watch a lot of vloggers because I play games myself. You are positive people and I like that about you.

[@fun4ne134]

I am happy to see you are expressing your feelings. Keep up good work👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@marksimos7549]

Sadly, haters seem to have time and enjoy annoying other people. I could not do what you do so I really appreciate you putting yourself out there, the videos the lifestyle, I find it incredibly interesting and I also learned a lot about playing poker from you and all the other bloggers that you mentioned. I don’t know how to fix the problem but I do believe that the majority just enjoy and listen and view and appreciate, like I do.

[@bocagelandscape]

Saw those comments when you appeared on Joey's stream. Just do your thing man, I'll watch it ❤️

[@cameronmondock8612]

this is the best take ive seen you have at the end of your videos. we deal with the product of our environment in poker and the negativity can definitely wear you out. although i know you were not trying to speak for JR you made a great point and shed light on him saying peace and the potential reasons why he did. i played a small tourney last weekend in philly and it was egregious how negative folks were at the tables. sometimes its helpful to take a break for your mentals!

[@helenrachel1479]

Love the rant needed to be said thank you 😊

[@mattstephens4649]

It appears you make a good living playing. Keep doing what your doing. I do enjoy watching your strategy. I hoping some day to do what your doing playing for a living is my dream. Good luck and God bless!!!!

[@houndearaudio]

You’re one of my favorite vloggers.. fuck everyone who is afraid to do what you do and give you hate for it. Win or lose, I’m on your side!

[@jamescorbin5090]

ignore the haters. You are creating good videos and doing a good job, you are also a good person. Coming from a wrestling background (long ago) I admire what you have accomplished. Your success makes people jealous, and they strike out at you to validate themselves. Keep up the good work and concentrate on what is important to you, haters are not important. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood..." T. Roosevelt

[@surfcruzer]

Hate is jealousy, just keep rolling. Spread goodwill.

[@aarbar6615]

Successful people don’t punch down ;) Keep up the hard work Lex , you’re doing great !

[@WillPage]

Dude. You're an excellent player. Haters are usually not nice people and they only put people down - never up; they are insecure. You guys are all awesome!

[@DKBlair]

Love your videos Lex, keep them coming!

[@iglesiasnando]

Lex you have 8,332,191 views, let the haters make noise, you are in the right path.

[@hullhealersboatworksrestor4377]

Because I followed you since nearly the beginning, I know that in your life of wrestling and competition you were very successful. I know that you’re not used to hate, however, especially in the Poker World, it is just the nature of the beast. Most of the people that are talking bad about you are the ones that are just jealous. Don’t let them win. You are the most transparent and real poker player on KZbin. Don’t let them win. Keep doing you and everything else will fall into place. I would say the commentary in this video just further proves your transparency then your ability to put your ego to the side.

[@itsmeitstrue]

Drink every time Lex says community. Seriously though great points u seem like a standup dude. Really enjoy the content just started watching this week. Keep grinding

[@marksmolen3823]

You are my favorite vlogger lex. Thanks for video you were my number one reason I got into poker

[@claymincey3751]

I didn't know JR left! That sux, he was a great table presence. Very respectful and took beats like a pro.

[@TradingGzwithG]

Just found your channel a few days ago. I started playing poker 3 yrs ago, this past summer I took it serious. Last week i won a small jackpot 20% of 5600 with quad Jacks. Im about to break even with the money i lost at the beginning of the year soon.The Poker bloggers u mentioned and more like you have helped my game dramatically improve this year alone. Phuck the haters i started with 1/2, now i play 2/3, one day I wanna play 5/5/10 and 10/20/40 Keep posting who knows i might start a poker channel

[@Finaltable1000]

I just want to say keep up the great work. I live watching because it fills the void when I can’t play myself. I’m a rec player that usually makes a few hundred a month at the tables. I love being a nit some nights and loose the next and it’s pisses people off that they can’t lock me into a player type. One day I would love to join one of your meet up games.
