First... Your Vlog is perhaps the most transparent and real. For those viewers looking for true insight on the Poker Grind, yours is my favorite to watch. I'm sure you are aware that the VAST MAJORITY of critics don't have the knowledge to constructively comment on live play OR don't have the balls to actually put $20K CASH on a table. YES... I have a KZbin Channel...SCARED MONEY POKER that I have not fully launched, partially due to the bullshit you and other vloggers have mentioned regarding comments you receive. AND for the record... TIGHT IS RIGHT! Keep the content coming... there are MANY of us that appreciate all you do Lex.

Lex, my mom always said, “what other people think about me is none of my business.” It’s a powerful reminder that you just do you ( which I believe is a powerful message) because there are so many unhappy, miserable people out there who have nothing positive to say no matter that they are clueless. You’re an inspiration to many of us and we will miss you if you give in to their bitter, hateful ways you have accomplished more in a few years than they will in a lifetime. I personally would hate to see you be dissuaded from doing what you love to do. Hang in there! 💯

You are an adept and formidable poker player, as evidenced by your ability to not just survive in the poker world, but to rise to the level that you have. My sentiments are, that you have thousands of fans that are proud for you. I've met you in person twice, once at Hard Rock Poker and at CoCo Poker, and you appear humble and professional given your status in the poker world.

Hopefully you see this question… I’ve been playing online for years. I’m very net positive, but I’m a rec player so I see my profits as personal money and not a dedicated “bankroll.” So when I lose 5% of my bankroll in a week, it feels like a big mental and emotional loss. Any advice on how to handle it? Do I just keep powering through the variance? I don’t want to drop down in stakes (I play mostly 2/4 online right now). Love your videos. I watch every single one.

I would dare say none of these comments are from winning players with serious live poker hours booked, and definitely none that have or are actually playing for a living. Easy game when you can see your opponents cards after the fact or on live on stream. Much less so playing the real man version with your bankroll, emotions, and decisions that you know are not going to be perfect in a vaccume with cards face up.
