Lodge live austin for another Live stream

[@jayrevis]

Hey Lex, I think it's great that you're willing to talk openly about your challenges, because for many players we don't have the best habits to support our mental and emotional health. Thanks for being open about it, and reminding us to try to live a more balanced lifestyle.

[@MarkDavidBlack]

I have to be honest here, I don't like watching poker at the Lodge. IMO their cameras and sound are crap. I guess I'm just spoiled by HCL and their production value. But I did watch this entire video. I'm glad that I watched to the end because I want to say that Lex you know that you are not alone with your mental battles. I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was in my early 20's. I'm now 66. I have a lot of regret because I didn't make the choice to live my best life early on. Now that I'm retired I'm finally living the best life I can. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself in front of a camera to an audience and say those things. I applaud you Lex. I wish you all the best and the best run good. Right on man. Kudos to you.

[@Fuentesico]

Damn that’s a wild take becuz I feel like the lodge has the best steam. Personally I don’t like HCL anymore , too much scandal and the line ups are getting stale lately

[@michaelwillis4532]

@@FuentesicoI quit watching HCL stream several weeks ago. Full of cheaters,liers,fakes and the worst person I’ve ever seen,Nick!

[@Fuentesico]

@@michaelwillis4532 Agreed. Texas poker is actually pretty friendly with lots of action … LA poker seems grimey but of course what do you expect from “hustler” casino. Lol

[@jasonhanks8516]

HCL has become too scammy imo. There is always something there that causes a situation. Texas poker looks a lot of fun to play.

[@codywalter]

What’s a bummer about Texas poker is you need paid memberships to play & then get charged to play by the hour. It can be kinda expensive.

[@MichaelSongLee]

Great video Lex! Appreciate and value the transparency around your mental health journey. You do live an aspirational life for most people on the 9 to 5 grind, and I can see how life on the road and lack of structure may allow for more downward spirals. Amazing that you have identified the pitfalls of Vegas and that you are using your channel as an accountability tool… as someone who struggles with mental health from time to time this makes me appreciate your content and journey even more. Keep it up, we are all pulling for you!

[@no1ghostrider]

Thanks for sharing Lex, it makes what you do and how you are doing that much more impressive. Mental health always seems to be over looked or taken for granted. Yes a poker players life and lifestyle is very hard

[@dischrisontwitch9313]

You’re probably my favorite poker vlogger just because of how realistic you are! Keep the content coming you do a fantastic job and I am always excited when I see a vlog pop up

[@siddharthupadhyay268]

Wasn’t expecting a shoutout but thanks for mentioning our conversation. I will add, as an academic, to what you have said in the outro - the higher authenticity you maintain in your public persona, the better your mental health will be. The reason most celebrities suffer from depression, anxiety and end with some kind of addiction, is the psychological toll due to duplicity that they are forced to maintain for their public image. The more authentic you are, the less toll on psychological resources. So, keep up the good work and just be yourself at all times.

Duplicity takes a toll. Even on a smaller scale. Well said

I dont think i could ever do a youtube channel where i talk a lot. It would definitely not be the true me. Im 46 born and raised in Florida. I will say try and have kids soon. I dont have any and thats what life is truly about. When you get to my age you really start to feel empty without kids.

[@mtn_production2148]

Though I'm not a poker player, my passion for the game draws me to your videos, eagerly anticipating your successful bluffs and adept reading of situations. I resonate with your sentiments, as men striving for independence and navigating life's responsibilities can find it overwhelming. Despite the burnout, your courage to expose your journey to the world is commendable. Wishing success for both of us and everyone facing life's challenges, may we persist and never give up. #Keep it up 🥰🥰

[@youngpup2028]

Good on you Lex. Never be afraid to share as you may help someone. If you can just help one person with these issues (even if it’s yourself) you win.

[@Fuentesico]

What’s up lex, I watched this entire stream just for you buddy. I’m a big fan of yours and eagerly await the next vlog. They had some chick commentating for the first bit of this stream. She was going IN on you for a little bit, calling you a nit. Needless to say I had to defend you in the chat stream 😅 take care buddy

Love the honesty and willingness to open up to strangers. You’re on the right track as long as you never lose your focus on the bigger picture. By the way, I noticed your game is improving by your willingness to bluff more and be creative in spots. Keep up the progress!

[@edvelazquez]

Great perspective, Lex. It’s great to see that candid honesty. I hope you continue to persevere with your poker and hope you see better days. I’ve been in the same boat for almost 20 years and it’s certainly not an easy challenge to deal with.

[@mastercarve6211]

Hey Lex, so K10 is your new favorite hand, I guess? Lol. Great vlog, thanks for your honesty, and yes, we all have "life swings", whether in poker, family, jobs, or elsewhere. The best way to combat depression, etc. I've found is to: 1. Have God in your life and try to follow his scriptures. 2. Have good friends and family around you to support you. 3. Be humble, generous, gracious, accountable, and not prideful. 4. Stay active, make sure you get some sunshine daily, as it def. can help with your mood. Seems by what you said that you're on the right track to make some positive changes. Take care, Bill

[@Kevin-mv9fd]

In my top 10 of hands I've played,watched, or even dealt in my say 40 years of any kind of poker. I knew it was coming on the river when you said that comment that you were not going to win. Have experienced that outcome way more than 10 times in my poker games. Jinxed yourself (and the other player with k,10). I'd be able to forgive you and hopefully they will,but I believe it was a good lesson to learn from of something you don't say while involved in a pot.I will continue to watch your vlogs in the future UNLESS you make that mistake again. I'm sure you noticed that noone else @ the table said anything about the hand and were quite shocked when you did. Kinda shows inexperience of having never been in that situation. Hope this helps you in your poker future. You ARE a good poker player but never go up against the poker karma god's. You will lose the vast majority of times. My father taught me that poker is a game. If you're trying to make it your career(business)then expect the unexpected.I have experienced a one outer bad beat twice and only that would have been absolutely throw-up grosser than that. Peace ✌️

[@guibox3]

LOL. Your description of your usual schedule in Vegas reflects mine. But I go to the spa and pool everyday too in between my poker sessions.

[@bigdiesel1744]

Hi Lex, enjoy watching your videos, and especially enjoyed that last part where you kept it real regarding your mental health struggles. I struggle with similar issues, and I know this is probably not what you or any of your viewers want to hear, but I eventually came to the difficult conclusion that poker (or any sort of gambling in general) was NOT helping. It's a very strange game that can be extremely cruel and many times highly illogical (like the big T-1000 hand). I also totally get what you are saying about Vegas. They call it Sin City for a reason. It's all superficial, materialistic garbage. Everyone seems so happy, there is beauty all around you, yet it leaves you feeling so empty inside somehow. I have been 5 times now, and the last time left me feeling so horrible I told myself it would be a long time before I ever went back, if ever. I came to the realization that I really don't enjoy gambling, I only enjoy winning. No matter how good you become at poker, no one wins every session. Only the select few are even positive EV in the long run. I also am single without children and know I should spend less time gambling and more time working on improving myself and my social life. Also my Christian faith helps stabilize my depression and improve my life perspective. Good luck man, I hope you can figure out something that works for you. I will pray for you. Blessings from Jacksonville, FL. Feel free to hollar at me if you are go to Best Bet and need someone in your cheering section.

[@ketchupmoney647]

Lex- Sorry but I'm not feeling very sympathetic about your MH. I honestly think it has helped you play poker more freely and willing to take chances with big bluffs - that may sound harsh but it's pretty obvious you're willing to take big chances - now I know why. I've watched many of your videos and analyzed your poker skills - and the only thing about your game that is above average is your willingness to make big shoves. That's it and that's all. But that's an important distinction. Having the guts to make BIG shoves is the difference between average-to-good players and the top 10% of deep stack cash players. If I ever play with you I will absolutely call your shoves if I have any reasonable showdown hand. You make big shoves too often and if you played with a solid group of players regularly (like my home group) they would all know your shoves are bluffs at least 50% of the time and start calling you 100% of the time. I don't think you can maintain your current upward trajectory. I think you've been pretty lucky over an extended period of time and we all know luck is fickle. I wouldn't invest in any of your action now.

[@bill8by516]

Lex, once you understand life, like Poker, has peaks and valleys. Identifying thoughts, events, circumstances, whatever that cause you to feel "down" and making changes to place them in a category of positives - learning from them, so to speak, outlooks change. Good example, when you ask God for patience, he will present you with events which cause you to learn patience in order to learn from them. You are a very smart guy. Learning is definitely in your wheelhouse. I also know you are a reader. Books by Wayne Dyer are very helpful with arranging life in beneficial ways. Arranging....what an interesting word, I also note you are very OCD. That is a good thing and a bad thing. You appreciate order and structure. Very good for arranging. Lex, I've followed you from just about the beginning and sincerely appreciate not only what you have accomplished, but your sincere demeanor while doing it. Do the work and keep up the posts. A lot of us out here inn viewer-land love you and these posts. Take very good care - see you next time Brother!!

[@BloodyAnalSurprise]

It took a lot of guts for you to talk about your mental health. Very inspiring. I have dealt and am currently dealing with these same issues, more so with my mother passing. It’s easier to play poker and drink than it is to actually work on yourself. Your lifestyle as a poker player in particular with the swings that come with it make it much harder I’m sure. Thank you for sharing and being real and I hope things improve for you.

[@ForeverFreeLibertyyy]

Poker will make you filled with anxiety, depression PTSD etc... Quit the poker and the mental health crap goes away.. but money talks.. you would probably like most have the mental health issues and lots of money then the other.. our god in America is money.. should be Jesus

You have a lot going for you,I hope you have a great time in Vegas and enjoy yourself, i also have deep anxiety but I try to hide it but that is not healthy I hope talking about it helps you,😂😂 I was wondering how is Your Dog Rouge doing haven’t seen him in any resent videos,keep up the good work

[@stevendaoust3367]

@lexopoker Love the transparency, and my advice would be, bring those gold clubs of yours to vegas. It will incentivize you to find that balance youre looking for. And if you ever want to come north of the border for a tour and mix in some cards....reach out, ill be happy to host. Bring the dog.

[@pnzrldr]

I am a retired Soldier, and your mental state discussion resonates. I know you are passionate about fitness, and I'm pretty sure you are a Crossfitter, yes? CF folks thrive on posing themselves continuous challenges. You are also challenging yourself to improve at poker, a 'game' that involves beating your opponents by outwitting or outsmarting them. I play too, of course, and I Crossfit, and I fly planes and rock climb and lots of other things - I like to challenge myself too. I am older than you though, and would offer a little bit of advice. Poker is mentally and emotionally brutal, when you dive into the lifestyle. I think you can get a divorce from that lifestyle, while continuing to play and win at the game. I also think you would benefit from some more challenges, to help you thrive more outside the cardroom. I've been amazed at climbing, and you can absolutely do that just outside Vegas (though Texas and Florida not so much...). It makes you fight to overcome the tension and urge to cling, and try a hard move, despite the risk and fear of falling (which doesn't go away even with a solid top rope). I think it is great for mental and emotional strength, and I've been amazed at how welcoming and open the community of climbers is. I would also urge you to find a 'give back' endeavor, whether a charity, a church, a project or similar. I help coach a high school wrestling team, and when I am there working with young teens there is literally no other place I'd rather be. Just my thoughts. I enjoy your channel, appreciate your candor, and hope you continue to move ahead, whether the cards fall in your favor or not.

[@nhnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Bro I have a similar life to you. 25 years old, used to be a wrestler, now work a seasonal job and play poker as a side hustle mostly 2-5 and 5-10nl. And when I play poker, I turn into a degen like you were saying. Some tips I have for you is stay in a condo, not a casino, make your own food and pack a lunch that you can bring to the table in your backpack. Eat healthy and drink lots of water. Also play during the day, the games are less stressful and sleeping during the day makes mental health issues 10x worse. Get a mattress topper and a set sleep schedule. Also only play for 8-10 hours a day unless the game is super juicy. Also, getting roommate that your friends with helps a lot too. Networking and talking to more people helps with mental health better than anything, cause human interactions level us out. Because it’s having too many of our own thoughts that are unhealthy. Like how talking to that guy made you happy but also made you realize you were unhappy.

[@markdavis5700]

I just watched this Vlog on our TV. I had to grab my iPad and comment on your Outro to this video. Thank you for sharing this. I’ve enjoyed watching your Vlogs for a while now but have never commented. I do try and like all your videos though. Your openness to discuss mental health really resonated with me. My wife who does not play poker or watch Vlogs happened too see your Outro also. She also commented that she could really understand/connect with your candidness about mental health. Just wanted to tell you that you are reaching more people than you realize. You are excellent in helping me understand Poker Strategy but also keeping it real. Poker definitely has its highs and lows. Players rarely talk about the lows. Thank you…

Hi Lex, I wanted to write to let you know how much I appreciate your candidness about mental health. I have like many people have also been dealing with ups and downs and depression. I am blessed to have family/friends, blessed that I have a roof over my head and blessed that I have my health and am able to play poker. I am currently taking a few months off because 2023 was super terrible and seems like the run bad never stops. Anyways I appreciate your openness. Hearing things like this brings into reality that " it isn't only me" that is dealing with these types of issues. Have a Merry Christmas and keep doing what you do brother.

[@ethanlee7642]

Lex o. Great to hear your true feelings. When I am down, I try to think about how great I have it compare to someone that is truly struggling. There are so many ppl struggling. Always remember how many ppl truely love you and care about you. Family. Always try to be positive and see things as glass half full. It can always get worse but it's in our human nature to climb out of it. Look back and see how far you have come in life. Also having a positive companion always helps. Be positive man.

[@ottoschmidt4007]

I also watch your Poker Videos from day 1 though I dont play this game personally. Speaking that honest like in the end affords some great courage. I pretty much have the same issues just in another way. Hitting the gym/doing things you enjoy to achieve goals next to daily stuff is extremly important so if you do what you say helps you to become the Version of yourself you want to be. So keeping grinding off and on the court 💪. Greetings from germany ✌️

Regret to say that due to KKs being one combination that I guessed and the title saying I would never be able to guess it…..I can’t in good faith trust your titles anymore and must remove myself from this toxic relationship

[@nutzoo]

I haven't been following you for too long but I enjoy your content. I used to play poker 2 decades ago and I am being kinda forced into playing again. I gave it up because the highs and lows were too much for me. When I was at my best I never enjoyed my wins but my losses were crippling. I felt incompetent, abandoned and crawled into a hole for days trying to recover. Depression runs in my family and I have suffered with it on and off my whole life. Poker exasperated it. You seem to be way ahead of me emotionally. Keep the focus on yourself. I will be praying for you.

[@andregrande5363]

You should drive your dog out to Vegas if you go longer. There's nice long trails out in the canyons not too far outside the city. Just having your pet with is good on many levels. Companionship, responsibility, and focus off the felt. An aspect of familiar routine which grounds. Good video sir. Very perceptive bluffs in the session. A very humble conclusion to this video. Thank you.

Lexooooooo I like the alternative content at the end. For the keyboard warriors worried about the poker they can shut it off. I like a vlogger less "flossy". Whenever I dedicate more time to poker thinking it could be a fun lifestyle I hit a rough patch of variance reminding me how cruel the game is then I get depressed. For 2024 I will not let gambling f with my mental health. I'm not a pro so easier to detach a bit and play less. Good luck on your journey I like your channel.

[@dysenteryjoe]

I have always seen social media as the modern day version of your parents/grandparents photo album. You see the births, holidays, celebrations, etc. But when is the last time you flipped through an album and saw the pink slip, or the overdue bill notice, therapy bill? No one is immune from the hard times. As a viewer, we need to remember this so we don’t get a skewed image of others, or negatively impact our own mental health. As a creator, you are under no obligation or expectation to showcase those harder times. However, when you do, it serves as a reminder to us that your life isnt all peaches, and ours isnt all pits. Thanks Lex O. Keep it up!

[@Author-dad-veteran]

Great that you’re showing the full picture, as well as explaining the rationale for your game. Like most bloggers, you show your wins and loses in the night, but not the full lifestyle. How many hours per week, how much time planning, lack of sleep, the reality of playing poker for a living.

[@jamesmarshall3154]

Best of luck in Vegas. Keep that healthy positive mindset. Don’t let Vegas take you down that dark path. Looking forward to seeing the life beyond the poker table.

[@happycamper6718]

We all can do this or that and we will feel good or bad doesn’t really matter as long as I’m not harming myself or others it doesn’t matter because at the end of the day or end of life we all fall victim to the ultimate enemy, and that’s your life. I read the piece of wisdom that the neighbor lady has stuck on the trunk lid of her Lexus. Here it is; I never make the same mistake again, I just have to make it 4 or 5 more times till I figure it out 😅 I was thinking about that as you played K-10 for the 3rd time in a row. Yeah you won that time, yippee 🎉 You still could’ve lost and that’s okay because you’re still alive. And that’s life, live your life like a poker hand. We all end up the same and that’s dead 😵

[@jasonhanks8516]

I’m in a similar place mentally. Just kind of a low time. Everything is great or as good as I could want, but I’m still just not satisfied. For me, it’s kind of a numbness. I went through a period where I lost some people close to me and felt deep, emotional pain and at this point, I don’t really feel anything. I appreciate your honesty.

[@magiciangob]

I go through the same things and people are always surprised when I tell them of my issues. I'm glad you shared with us and I hope you can find some peace. Also if you've never been you need to visit Valley of Fire about an hour east of LV. My favorite desert hiking spot.

[@thomasrottler-yb5ek]

What I appreciate most about your style is that you make it feel as if your not hunting for subs even if topics might be controversial or not what most of the ppl wanna see. Keep on going and stay loyal to your values, you have a bright future!

[@lucashood9265]

Been watching you since the beginning. Never comment. I like your content because it's real. You play like I do mostly. Im a contractor and have often considered trying to play professional but what holds me back is the atmosphere that goes with game. It is more negative in these rooms than positive. Everyone is having fun and all but deep down it's people trying to get your money and when their losing the mood changes. Plus your in a casino surrounded by all sorts of gamblers so the energy is bad. It weighs on you. After 8 hrs in that environment I feel terrible win or lose. To spend all week in it will become an anchor on your spiritual evolution. The happiest people I know are broke and spend all day helping others. Not that I'm innocent of the lifestyle but simply put gamblers are often more of a selfish crowd

[@World_Class_Jak]

Listen Lex, your crushing it. Every day at a time. As long as you have your eyes on the horizon your fine. Keep up the diespline and your training. And I want to really thank you for your content. I really enjoy it.

A roller coaster ride , ending with a profit - amazing since you only seemed to be dealt K 10 off all night ?! 😊👍🎅

[@mikec4684]

You seem to have your shit together. Mentally, physically conscious/ healthy, financially, motivated and a positive attitude mostly. Your game has drastically improved and higher (nose bleed) stakes seem natural to you now. I fuckin enjoy watching your videos !

[@Livinthedream21]

Just subscribed to your channel, which I rarely ever do. I’ve watched a ton of your videos and love your content, but your raw honesty and candor in this video made me want to support you further. Thanks for the honesty.

Thanks for keeping it real! Be healthy and find the good balance! thanks for the Llama mask laughs.

Impressed with the honesty. Good habits like going to bed early and eating regularly and well, especially when traveling is the only advice I have. Friendships can also help a lot!

We your follower's of your chanel will do are best to keep you accountable. And positive.

I’m not as experienced and if I was playing I’d be drinking so I probably put him on Ak don’t think he’s betting like that with pocket 10s or 7s so I would call and hope to not see a diamond or an Ace

[@lindacampbell539]

Did u see how many times u had K 10 as a hand this episode??? I think u lost every hand when u had those 2 cards. Definitely not your favorite hand I hope. Love your videos.

Mental Health is important. It is key u recognize the Vegas experience. Looking foreword to see how this trip goes for u. Stay strong and have a great trip!

[@randyschatz5539]

That over-call by T-1000 with AQ against three players when he really only has three pure outs to win might be the worst call I’ve ever seen.

[@mtgoxsucks435]

Just curious. Did you happen to look up llama play in the solver after this session? I’m not sure what adjustments need to be made.

[@mariomelis]

I can't add anything else to what was already said in the comments,Lex. I wish you all the best, from Toronto!
