What TO DO when you KEEP losing in POKER!! // Poker Vlog

A crazy swingy session in Florida !

[@williammccabe2129]

Really well put-together video, Lex! And there's no better feeling than grinding out a win!

[@michaeldriscoll8388]

Always enjoy the content. Working on moving from 2-5 to 5-10 right now myself. These videos serve as great tutorials and roadmaps on how to navigate those types of changes. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Ggoodlad1]

I appreciate the timely vlog, Lex! 3rd day into my break after a big downswing. Can't wait to get back on that horse as soon as it feels right!

[@dl6262]

Thanks for sharing all your tips. Super helpful for me at the moment as I’ve been on a downswing since July

[@kellibaker4662]

Love this!! We’ve all had downswings if you’ve played for any length of time. Your tips are spot on for how to handle them with grace. ❤🎉

[@markstakelbeck8889]

Nice comeback! It isn’t always easy to grind back after a start like that! I enjoy all your videos! I really appreciate your advice and transparency in this one. It’s not always easy to show other people your mistakes but you seem to do a good job of it in your videos! Keep it up!

[@davidgeorgecross815]

Really like how you're regularly giving advice and tips to lower stake/ newer players 👍. Enjoyable vlog as always

[@robshumate3572]

Thanks because I’ve had a bad week and needed this pep talk ❤

[@michaelmclaughlin1958]

Thanks for the tips. The first and last tips are somewhat conflicting but I think I understand the nuances that make them both true. Continued good luck and looking forward to your future vlogs

[@curtheisler8893]

Definitely enjoyed your commentary re how to get thru a rough streak. I've been following your advice - good feeling that I've been doing the right thing.

[@tedwards4x4]

Great session. I always enjoy a Lex O vlog during my lunch break. Keep em coming.

[@ralegade7710]

I needed this particular video. Not just because of poker. Thanks Lex!

[@dominickmarge5049]

Wow Lex wat a comeback I do believe you are getting better all the time I love how you just put your head down and plow forward lol I really look forward to your next sessions

[@roguemerlin1969]

Even a small win is better than a loss. Love your vids, keep up the grind, gotta get them hours in!

[@mikewilliams3509]

Nice call with the queens that's tougher than a lot of people think even though you had the heart

[@GetRichorDieScratching]

Loved this one man. Thanks for sharing your tips and what a session! 😅

[@kencompton1454]

Great advise, you videos are getting better! Keep up the great work.

[@scchicago5822]

Great content as usual. Really enjoy your tips, especially your point on escalating tilt. Good luck to you as always

[@mysticricorok8481]

Love it Lex. Keep the vids coming.. I started building my bankroll at $1-$2 NL($200 max buyin) & have now moved up to $1-$3($600 max buyin) & using about 30% of my roll to buyin now. I love it but taking it slowly cause I could just be on a good run. Learning alot from you vloggers thanks dude

[@consciousconscience]

That's nothing. I moved up to 5/5 and now use 100% of my roll to buy in.

[@TheErolking]

@@consciousconscience 😂

[@gman9035]

Uhh, what's a bankroll

[@jamesturner127]

I also started at 1-2 and have played as big as 10-25. Strongly recommend (as most people do) you never have more than 5% of you bank roll in play. If you bankroll is 2k and your buying in for 600 you could play perfect and still run the risk of going broke

[@Eli-yu1by]

Proper bankroll management means you should use at most 5% of your roll to buy in.

[@scave_phase5337]

Hey lex, I truly believe this is possibly your best poker session ever. To get stuck early on and then lose your next few hands in a row normally from earlier episodes you would go on tilt and either lose more money and decide to go home but this time you persisted push through and end up having a winning session without going on till just awesome man your progression as a poker player is obvious and right in front of you you’re amazing well done

[@brankoc6919]

Nice video Lex, way to grind it back and, along the way, bring quality, methodical advice to your audience. Addressing downswings in poker (or life) is never an easy subject. Thanks for the quality content, keep grinding and climbing back…upswing coming your way hermano 📈

[@four_bet503]

Thanks Lex! Needed this video this week. February has been my worst month after having Dec and Jan being my best ever. My first session in March, I was down 800 in my 5/5 (300-600 buyin) ...stuck it out and ended up leaving with a 120 profit, long 8 hour session, my losses came in the first 3 hours.

[@Ihave10billionsubs]

What you're going through mirrors what I'm going through. Great December and January, abysmal February and so far terrible March (though most of my losses are due to tournaments, but some cash games). It's really enough to make me reconsider playing poker at all. Thankfully I'm not a pro so it's not my main source of income, but still very demoralizing and makes me feel like I've completely forgotten how to play poker.

[@brettbedore1896]

Wow, you sure have come a long way. I recall your earlier videos when you specifically said you were NOT trying to school people on how to play poker, and here you are posting this very helpful video. Cheers mate!

[@chenyangwang9587]

This is one of my favorite videos. Today, I run badly, and I also play badly. Began to blame myself and lose confidence. when I am losing an frist all-in, and my mentality is beginning to tilt. After that, I began to be reluctant to give up every big pot even though I knew I was behind. Now I realize that the influence of tilt on myself is enormous. I don't have the ability to handle tilting, so I should leave poker's table when I'm down. I will limit my buy-in in the future, because I always make wrong decisions when I am down. And began to rest and try to play some small games. Don't let the tilt of this scene continue to the next one.Thank you Lex

[@DragonRollYumYum]

Glad to see you dig out of a big hole! That takes resolve. Nice tips.

[@realty5379]

Thanks for those great tips! My downswing has been longer and worse, but not at the monetary level you are at. I will try your advice and I’m sure it will work.

[@markfromct2]

I enjoy your streams Lex. Win or loose I think you touch many of us here who are average players and always learning Thanks

[@ianshirreffs5604]

Nice spin back!!! Thanks for the advice. 💯

[@albertpangra5041]

This was a great episode good stuff 🎉

[@kisroz]

you may say whatever you want about the poker knowledge/understanding of different poker vloggers (and people do it all the time) but as someone who played with many of them let me tell you, Lex you're by far the nicest person at least from my experience

[@billpotts3350]

Hollywood Beach is beautiful

[@Matthew-gg8ep]

Great stuff Lex one of better videos you’ve put out little poker little advice little dog for the vlog good advice on downswings what to do as well. Much appreciated

[@BarryBizzle]

Seeing SoFlo on your vids gives me a lot of nostalgia from living there for a few years, a couple of years back. I miss it. Amazing comeback there in that session!

[@helenrachel1520]

Thanks Lex I needed that advice 😅

[@jonathanwilliams2179]

Well done man! You earned that one

[@alexblas3651]

Maker's Mark... thats some good stuff brother..👏

[@AnthonyVickersSoulJahTYah]

Well done.. sometimes we need to keep going sometimes we stop .. Positive outcome here always a good experience for future play. Bless *

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

Good session, good tips! I feel like I have so many sessions like that where I get unlucky in a big pot early and it takes me hours to get back to even. After 8 hours of play you end up winning gas money but you feel like you played well and got really unlucky.

[@maxgreenlawncarellc3678]

Finally make it to the poker room last night, it’s been awhile. Sat 1-2 table and I have the exact experience you going through. I stick to my gut and continue playing, after 2 hours I finally on the green side. After 6 hrs of playing I decided too racked up, walking away with a profit. I don’t play full time or part time, I just go and play when I get a chance. I think I’m going to step up into 2-5. I been playing 1-2 for awhile and I feel good and comfortable, I probably going to play 2-5 next time.

[@elinetzer1577]

stop gambling and go back to mowing lawns

Always enjoy uou videos. Advice like this us priceless

[@pumpitdumpit]

Crazy swing on this session... I have my thoughts on it but I'm not hear to preach lol... Great job on keeping it calm and getting it all back

[@jbarres80]

I Just moved to Texas and started playing for living and your correct it’s stressful lol went thru a downswing playing Texas style poker took little break and started back fresh

[@skotosman]

We in here! Keep posting more content Lex! More doggo content too!

[@49ersfan21]

I love that overbet on the double pair board.

[@leviwhatever6192]

Excellent frame of mind.

[@baustin2402]

Well done fam 👏 *great useful information. 😇

[@ruthlessgoat3702]

Great tip about playing down in stakes when things are not going well. This reminds me of baseball, where struggling players are sent down to the minors temporarily, where they can regain their confidence against less harsh competition.

[@frankmmarshal6065]

Great tips, pocket 10's hand you said you was calling any bet on the river an all in on turn may be the best play

[@ihumbleyew3430]

First hand was a cooler for sure. Dude got lucky

[@KEEPlT1K]

I play 2/3 for the most part but for the last 6 months i have been switching to 5/5 , thanks for the advice always !

[@kfullmer89]

Thanks for the tips. I’ve been running so bad in spots with 80+% equity and it’s been annoying the crap out of me. It’s been basically 80 hours of getting coolered non-stop.

[@danielgarland9838]

Glad you got out from stucksville! Great tips!

[@visalatui6930]

what an amazing way of putting in one word. (HAKUNAMATATA) Proud of you Lex, Keep griniding and Keep pacing. Dont forget to hit those massage places down there to hit those nerves. Good Content brada

[@mjluna33]

Let's go Lex, get that run good back!

[@mikehaddix9795]

Thanks for the down swing tips. I can't seem to have a winning session. I'm going to take some of your advice .

[@ElektrikMuffins]

never seen rogue go absolutely bonkers like that lol

[@randywatson6196]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@leehjones]

Great opening b-roll!

[@KungFury69]

Good comment on moving down in stakes, but I feel there are way more nits at 1-2, so moving down there might be detrimental to building up confidence unless you're looking to refine your bluff game.

[@allboxing9851]

Thanks for Beach view we have snow and Windy EU ...

[@darrylb4048]

Great VLOG. Great content.

[@rayshaungates3702]

Nice video keep up the good work!!!

[@ericnerenberg7064]

Solid job on the video. Bellagio for a few. GL friend

[@Lefthookhero]

The game was " off the chain " that's a new one. I'm assuming you meant off the rails. What a recovery 👏 wtg Lex

[@theodorejung]

Lex I think this was your best vid. The last tip is prob your best

[@slipknotfreak744]

😂😂😂 I could totally tell lex was a little tipsy at the intro

[@toms7098]

Good tips, downswings are frustrating.

[@davezajacjr.5494]

Best part was, "This particular player is very aggressive, but he doesn't tend to bluff very often" love it!!!!

[@adambrown8867]

Luck is a major factor in poker. I have chronic bad luck. It upsets people when I speak about it for some reason.

[@BSweetVideos]

"Sometimes downswings are from bad play" and then proceeds to cold call with QQ lol

[@lukeshaw4287]

I’ve had a recent big downswing too but the upswing I had before was 2 times as big. I even feel like I’m playing better during the downswing.

[@jonathangraber3628]

luv the vids, keep em coming...during the 1st hand, it looked like u just shoved the rest of ur chips right into his stack...poor poker etiquette (yes)....did u do it out of anger or frustration? never seen u do anything like that b4

[@tomblount5635]

Great advise

[@msolo79]

Thanks Lex

[@nicholi2789]

Do you notice that when you are on extended downswings that you tend to play more passively in spots where you’d normally take the aggressive line? I’m noticing some of that in your play (I’ve watched nearly all your videos). I catch myself doing that sometimes on down swings too and it usually has the reverse effect and costs me more. Anyways great advice, my favorite vlogger by far! Always rooting for ya lex

[@rickeyg4173]

You got to sip it, That's a grown man's drink...

[@helenrachel1479]

Nice comeback Lex 👏

[@indianadavejones]

Nice job. Good session.

[@plantbasedsniper]

Well played lex. We’ve all been there grinding all night to even 😅

[@ybhughes]

great insight

[@civilman43]

That first hand is why you have downswings Lex. I am shoving for my stack on the turn and that guy is not calling.

[@robertgermono1756]

keep ur system and keep grinding ur solid

[@lucashood9265]

My downswings have always been amplified by changing my game. Like when I'm running hot and I start playing more hands. I've fixed that problem and have run good since. I always play like I'm hungry now

[@joeyrobinson630]

My FAV drink an old fashion. All depends on the whiskey. You should try a smoked old fashion with Buffalo trace whiskey with cherry smoke wood chips.

[@T-roc57]

I think you were right about the 1st hand...a J is blank enough there & you decided to roll with it. By the turn tho it mighta been better to just shove then if that's the case, but unlucky.

[@keithgee770]

Great job Lex

[@pokerbuddy2227]

Yea I’ve been running bad for 9 months, occasionally winning but not often or for much. So I just don’t play for weeks. I don’t have enough money to play even more hours when I’m losing pretty much every hand. I did just move to new area so maybe I’ll try here once

[@mikesisto9829]

Going to play at the Hard Rock Hollywood today. I hope I see my favorite bloggers lexo.

[@davidzamora3020]

Great tips

[@caseycollier4374]

Damn Lex. Way to shove the chips to you right on the 10’s hand. Jungle man vibes.

[@leehjones]

Great rebound session.

[@vallacespoker7902]

Another thing giving up is hard to do I lose most of my money bluffing it off on the river .. kudos for being able to shut down

[@vallacespoker7902]

IPAs are very strong lol compared to bud lite and millers lite … on a downswing myself bro they don’t last forever good luck thanks for the content

[@domenicandriano2386]

When you make a comeback like that sometimes the 200 dollar profit feels like a 10K cash out lol. Nice going Lex

[@KEEPlT1K]

Even if you were down say 3 buy ins and you end up leaving only down a few hundred other then a few thousand it feels like a W forsure

[@KittyGirlTravelProductions]

great tips

[@2024style]

I just stay away from from florida poker tables for now been playing for 10 years and lately i seen too many people getting their missing card on the river its disgusting, also when playing lower stakes you have to be really careful because its another game I seen many guys going from 2-5 to 1-2 and get eaten alive by everyone at the table

[@anthonyp5863]

Those comebacks that end in small wins after being in for heaps feel the best sometimes
