[@lexopoker]

Thanks to you guys for showing up every week to watch my videos!!

[@jacobalexander1889]

Love your videos, I’d love some merch?

[@eoinhanna6657]

Hi Lex I’m from Belfast in Ireland have been watching from the start. A fan of all the vlogs but think yours is by far the best for the reasons you outline - you’ve a great niche so keep it up! Genuine pleasure to watch

[@craignicarry2187]

Very nice to see you in your own element there in Florida again. .. I'm a big fan of the 2 sayings" If it ain't broke don't fix it!" And also " Dance with the girl that Brung ya!" I know you said about going back to Texas and Vegas but if you're doing good on the home front and have a place to live right near where you play... Why not stay?! Keep up the good work..

[@crandy7658]

I found your channel because it was suggested. Even in the first video I saw, the hand analysis was really good... basically the opposite of watching a Rampage video. It's tough for most poker vloggers who live in the shadow of Brad and Andrew. You truly do a great job and it's fun watching you play. Keep it coming man!

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

Thank you for posting them. Just like you did, we are learning from you and hopefully improving our winning rates.

[@filthycasual4354]

Lex pumping out vlogs left and right! Shout out to Rouge 🐕

[@PokerJeezus]

To answer your question, I play PLO cash for a living. It's not about ego If I can make more per hour in a smaller stakes game than playing higher stakes against tougher opponents, I'll play the smaller game everytime I don't have to prove anything to anyone, but I do have three cats to feed and they like to eat!

[@fy4b230]

Being some one who played for a living for 5 years and now I play about twice a month… If you’re a “professional” player then it’s always whatever your bankroll is. As a recreational player, for me at least, it’s whatever table is the most fun/talkative. In MD (Maryland Live) the 2/5 is usually the most entertaining. 5/10 is usually real boring and 1/3 there’s a lot of try hards…gotta love the 1/3 poker pros lol I play poker now for fun. Im still competitive af when I play and play the same way I did as when I played professionally, but I’m not coming to a casino to pop in headphones for 6 hours and not talk. When a higher game opens up I’ll usually put my name down, but will get up and go back down if the table is all sunglasses and headphones. Basically if I see a table with more than 3 beers in the cup holders that’s the table I want to play at..don’t care what the stakes are as long as it’s no limit.

[@afuel1244]

about to see how much I've learned by studying/reviewing videos like these. Best advice for someone just getting into live cash games.

[@craignicarry2187]

@@afuel1244 very good advice

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Solid advice

[@Reelman11]

Lol

[@tomp2285]

Lex! Thanks for putting out awesome content! It is so enjoyable to watch and see how the poker life on the road goes! And home now too! You are definitely approaching the levels of your predecessors and it is showing! Thanks and run good!

[@markstakelbeck8889]

Another great video! I always enjoy watching you play! I also enjoy how you break down hands and explain your thought process throughout your sessions!

[@jakethesnake1366]

I watch. I enjoy. I learn. Good video thank you

[@cesarvelasquez3186]

Damn dude running pretty hot 🔥🔥🔥 I think that last fold was a good one tbh... Also Rogue looking super adorable 😍

[@ericg9092]

Another great video, Lex! It's fun to learn from the situations you show us. That looked like a great and disciplined fold with AA on the river. You walked through almost every hand combination he could have had, and AA beat none of them. Well done. Looking forward to the next vlog!

[@TheWAZA81]

Carrying a big smile my man.. that was a smooth session. Respect to you showing transparency in recent move back home and your 6 weeks progress. Living a dream brother.

[@tybillow252]

I follow ALL the mainstream poker vlogs. A lot play higher stakes. This is still my favorite vlog. Thank you for making these. I make sure I like before I even watch them. Keep it up, Lex!

[@hullhealersboatworksrestor4377]

I enjoy watching you play either high stakes or lower stakes to be honest. I think one thing about you vs others is you are transparent and humble and you don’t let the highs get you cocky and more than that you don’t let the lows get you down and in a ditch. Keep making videos that you want to make, I think what I care about as a viewer is watching you play what you enjoy playing.

[@ludwig77]

Another great video Lex. Thanks for putting in all the hard work so we can enjoy these vlogs!

[@alsmithjr76]

Always look forward to your vlog Lex!! Good luck ✌🏾

[@adrienspaceage1619]

Great videos Lex. You are one of the bettering players on KZbin. Your thought process, decision making, and overall attitude are always on point.

[@sebastiendroletpoitras3738]

Happy to be part of your community! Keep it up champion! 💪

[@timshaw5963]

Great vlog Lex! Run good + solid play = a great session! I enjoy your thought process.

[@crossfitnrv2181]

Yes, we are big fans of yours! I appreciate your humility and gratitude towards your fan base. I hope you don’t mind that I watch all the way to the end just so I can see Rogue!

[@gavinblakeway]

Love your vlogs and appreciate you keeping your playing style as straightforward and doing the basics right . Shows one of the best ways to win the soft money .

[@gavinblakeway]

Find a girl that looks at you like Rogue looks at you and you will have completed life !

[@nicksog7771]

Ah yes, the best cards in the country. Nothing beats your hard rock Vlogs Lex. You own this place!!!! Nothing tops the cards at this joint either.

[@lupa4]

Congrats on your success. It's well deserved. That tournament vid for whatever reason felt intense lol like you I'm not a tourney player but it was cool to see you go deep :) keep grinding :)

[@ashwanishiv8293]

Hi Lex! I am Ashwani; live in Dubai. I have been watching your videos regularly for the past 3-4 month even though I subscribed long before that. I like to watch your stuff because I find you genuine and truthful. Nothing is made up and it’s real stuff, which is relatable. Keep it up and I would continue to watch and recommend you to my friends too. Cheers🥂, Ash!

[@edwardfreeman7360]

Great video and great fold on the river with Aces.👊🏽

[@jerometeal1994]

I look forward to watching each week, good see to you making some cash and smiling. Keep it going Lex

[@kingpin6172]

Nothing wrong with pushing yourself, Lex... great vlogs! 👍🏻

[@garrinmechalas5828]

Thanks as always! Love every part of your Vlogs! Rogue brings smiles to many! 😊 Keep up the good work! Stay focused, positive, and humble. Hope to say hi one day Lex. Peace!

[@derekmundy]

Love your videos lex, keep them up!

[@lamontholmes4022]

Keep the videos coming Lex... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ramsayburch6738]

I appreciate the acknowledgment of your fanbase, despite not knowing us personally. I've been watching those guys (Neeme, Owen, Mariano, Rampage, etc.) for years and I think that, compared to them, you have unique style. You consistently ask questiosns to your viewers, and you respond in kind. You're also very humble about your success as a player. You've obviously watched and learned from those guys too, but you have a different flavor you bring to the table. Keep it up and you'll be at that level within the year. Big fan and I've learned a lot from watching your channel.

[@jeffsimser7744]

I like watching you for live and David Kaye for online. No swearing, no tantrums and great analysis. Keep it up

[@ericbayman75]

Great Videos. A pleasure to watch. You always go in with positive energy and always respectful. Good fortune my friend.

[@kansascub]

Great video as usual. Really enjoy your vlogs and thought processes!

[@briangretkowski229]

always enjoy your videos Lex. Thanks for sharing so consistently and taking us on your poker journey. I look forward to seeing you break 100k views one day soon!

[@shawnvestel2606]

[@jvjoe4376]

Your vlogs and content very informative and interesting to watch!! Thanks for posting.

[@jameskirk6882]

Great to see you well Lex and looking after yourself...Comped Marsala is always a bonus !! . Rogue is a beauty! Re playing levels.. as a pro I would say push yourself but also don't lose sight of what makes the money I.e the recreational players. Stay well

[@highalter]

Love the Content ! I am a visual learner and I get more out of your videos than reading the pro's books. lol. AA only win about 80% of the time. which you proved to be correct!! Stay well. you're an inspiration.

[@weshopper1093]

Great video Lex!! Hope to see more soon

[@run10mile]

Love this vlog....very humble

[@shaundejwan9035]

I watch to the end for Rogue sightings, nice run good in Florida, keep it up.

[@mkader2494]

Another nice session Lex. I cannot stop laughing at the Indian 'Chicken masala' parading as a classic Italian dish from the old country lol

[@MarkDavidBlack]

Hey Lex, great video man. Keep up the good work. I've been watching consistently for a while. But I'm subbing today. : )

[@pmb123]

17:57 Rogue is SUCH good vibes. I want to reach through the screen and pet him too!

[@feverfive]

Great session! And yes, one of those who watch all of your videos. You and Rampage mostly. Hope you get a little rest before WSOP in Vegas!

[@davidscott7050]

Awesome content as always! Play 2-5 in Borgota here in jersey. Keep up the great stuff. Those sessions are so straight forward but lovely instead of coolers or wacky run outs in River.

[@richardroesler2553]

Love your videos from the start... Keepem commin...

[@ameritrev]

Your commentary on this video is great man

[@zekebones34]

Gotta love flopping a set of JJ’s and hear your opponent call it trips in a 5-10 game. Jesus

[@timhoffman9745]

Love the videos great job!!!

[@ESPPoker]

To answer your question at 8:45, I totally agree that you should look to challenge yourself with tougher games if you can afford it with your bankroll. Personally I am planning on sticking to 1/3 and occasionally playing 2/5.

[@nickhussong645]

I hope you get to 100k subscribers in the not too distant future. You certainly will have earned it; you’re putting in the work. No doubt about that.

[@w0ntuanASMR]

What’s up lex! Great to see another vid

[@brotaliancan]

Thanks for another good one!

[@Abdullah-pj6sp]

Great work Lex

[@carlosmedina6302]

Nice run. Always good when you get great cards to play.

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Lex, that was a nice disciplined fold on the river with your last pocket As in that game. 👍🏻

[@juliosegarra7175]

Congratulations, may you keep up the run good 👍

[@derbo416]

We more than a fan base lex. We a fam base 🤟🏽

[@dgolberg]

Great session - well done

[@tavogp]

you the man lex keep playing poker you have made me a better poker player

[@keithb4077]

8:45 Lex, I would guess that a balance of both makes sense; using higher levels to sharpen you, but also lower limits to both reduce variance (esp since this is your living) and to experiment with advanced concepts.

[@mikerage1011]

Yo lex. Best thing to do is keep moving up and testing yourself as well as your session win rate as well as your profit and loss win rate then when you move up in stakes if you see a significant drop in your stats move back down and then get better and try to live up again. Basically find your sweet spot as far as what limits your playing and stay in your comfort zone So if your playing 2-5 winning let’s say 75% of sessions with a 300 dollar session average for profit. Abd then move to 5-10 where your stats are. 60% with a 230 session average. I would drop back down. Just play where the stats make sense. But Definetly test yourself every so often. This is what I have done over my career and it’s served me well.

[@banepoker9490]

Glad to hear you say sorry man on AA vs KK in start of vlog it always sucks you know haha and you seem so geniuine about it

[@flamingpvp5017]

I’m always so hyped when I see lex has a new video

[@tytythefly]

love you content Lex. I'm down here in South Florida as well, hope to meet you one day.

[@nicktesta8221]

Love your vlog bro keep it up.

[@Troy2573]

Maybe a shirt with you and Rogue with your KZbin channel on it when you go to play. Also , asking the guys at the table if they watch your channel. I started going to a rock quarry in 2018. I asked for permission to hand out my business cards. I was given a trial period and I go 2-3 times a week and pass out pop tarts , peanut butter and cheese crackers , water and granola bars with my business cards. I buy the office workers Christmas gifts and somehow my cards got passed around so much I had to advertise for box trucks as well. I quit working for someone else and started my own business because of the success I was having. Market yourself when you are in any public setting is the best advice I can give on reaching more viewers and subscribers. I hope you get above the goal you have for your channel because I look forward to the uploads !

[@helenrachel1479]

Nice win !!

[@jaymand5026]

I really wish that they would bring back poker to Wisconsin, really sucks brother!! AWESOME CONTENT LEX as usual!!

[@nightfalcon6006]

When you had aces for the forth time and you check back on the flop. Correct call imho. Well played! As to the question about Hi v lo stakes, I think over a 12 month period it will even it self out.

[@richardc3693]

Love your dog!

[@lothararywuen]

Good Question Lex, i would say if you beat the lower games with weaker opponents for about 1-2 Years and you have MINIMUM 500 Max-Buy-ins for the bigger game...THEN i would go for it bcs as you say with tougher, better opponents YOU become better with time too, nice Video again, keep up the good work :)

[@wayne5969]

Lex I just started watching your videos about a week ago I play up in Central Florida at Oxford Downs. Right outside summerfield south of Ocala. You should swing by sometime man everytime I see these videos you run like a god. We have a nice poker room.

[@jackgentry5603]

Love your videos 👍

[@mikeharry2509]

“Strategery”. That’s funny.

[@visalatui6930]

Awe, man i knew you gonna get beat at the turn or River..Kool Beans..Great Video Let's go get that million dollar Tournament or at least make the Final Table..Learning slot from you Big Lex O...Good Job..👍😀🙏🤙👏👊🤟

[@hclaut]

Ever hear of the Peter Principle? It states, "In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence." I feel the same is true as stakes get higher in Poker. Skills that are profitable at one level may not be profitable at the next. Many players rise to their level of incompetence and stay there until they are broke.

[@chrisg2214]

Nice to see some run good

[@righttobeararmsetc.8492]

U will be fine bro heads up and grind away

[@ANTxWAll]

Good luck tonight big dawg! I’ll see you at the rock in tampa

[@charleslilja4698]

If you're pushing yourself to play higher stakes to play better competition, that's a good reason I believe. You can always find easier games at lower stakes. I've been playing more 2/5 because I actually think the games are better than 1/2 or 2/3. Although the 2/3 games in Arizona can be pretty dang good...for my bankroll anyways. Keep up the good work

[@Matt-zl1by]

Lex, I'm a tampa hard rock player that typically plays after 8 pm any night I can. The lower the stakes the more trash the ability and you have many opportunities to have profitable sessions knowing the field your up against. The reg grinder players who play for a living are some of the toughest players ever who typically play higher stakes. All in all, choose your games that you believe will give you the best edge if your goal is to be profitable long term.. On the flip side, you could have beast mode confidence and play those high stakes games and get lucky to win some massive pots! A bit of yin to the yang I suppose.

[@samcai6874]

I will always choose the stake that give you more money if I am playing poker for a living, it always good to have options and choose the stake depending on the players too

[@davidthompson62]

Nothing wrong with a +2,600 day! I ran hot Thursday at a 2-5 table and won a little under 5g’s + two high hand bonuses equaling $1,500. Helps wipe out-$2000 earlier in the month. Love Rouge!!

[@michaelwillis4532]

You definitely run hot in Florida compared with Texas. I’d keep my ass rt there playing those same stakes and maybe make a stab in a bigger game once a month or so. Your post flop game is so strong and your finally past that stage of being a little timid about calling big bets or making big bets on the river. Your game has gotten tremendously better over the last several months. Congratulations Lex!

[@f0t0b0y]

Selfishly, I enjoy watching the 5-10 since most poker vloggers play lower stakes. Mo money, mo entertaining! 😎
