**NEW SERIES** BenCB Poker Coaching! LEARN FROM THE BEST! pt. 1 of 3

[@milwarobesorejas2728]

Wow. Stunned. 1 day ago i watched a youtuber poker pro trying to create a subscribtion-based school on how to improve your game, and now i am watching a this video. Free quality poker lessons. I dont know you Lex, but you have made this man a better poker player, and i don't know how to say thank you. You are the best in doing what you do, not only streaming and playing, but also on trying to make people be good in the game that we all both love. Greetings from Peru!

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

I share everything I know on twitch anyway :)

[@jojo-je2mc]

Lex please, never stop posting that kind of vids

[@Desert2GardenLV]

I learned more in this 1 hour than I learned the last 3 years just watching everyones twitch streams. Thanks for doing this!

[@TiltyfishPoker]

Bought Ben's masterclass about a month ago and can't speak highly enough on it. If you're willing to put the work in you won't find a better teacher than Ben. Great content Lex!

[@jameskhing7697]

this is probably the best tournament poker coaching i've seen thus far. please post more videos like this with bencb! or a video of you coaching him on starcraft!

[@MatheusHenrique-xv3ri]

its very easy to notice the passion and the love that ben talks about poker, he is a truly gift to the poker comunnity,also so humble, impossible not to love this guy.U too Lex,tks for bring such a nice material,for free, GL maxx, ty ♥

[@undergroundpost]

By far the most helpful video I have seen which is both clear and not talking down to the viewer, more of these please.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Thanks a lot and more coming!

[@pokerhousewife2805]

Its weird hearing you sound so unsure of yourself lol... Bencb must be a super crusher! Great content thanks mate.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Ben is a much better tournament player than I am. The moment I can’t accept truths like that is when I will get crushed and stop improving.

[@skaddy3762]

Spoken like its admitting the truth, which is a key to improve. Great video Lexie!

[@jossbown]

Can we check your results on Sharkscope, what name do you play under? Or can we see you on the Hendon Mob? You must be a crusher.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

You would know wouldnt you :D

[@pokerhousewife2805]

Why are you such a hater!? If u don't like it move on, otherwise STFU you little bitch. Come see me on BOL or ACR. Screen name Pokerhousewife

[@edwardkuruliouk4331]

Your channel is getting better and better(despite already being the best active poker channel on youtube). Great series, keep up the good work bro.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Big compliment Ahzek. Thank you. We’re gonna keep a lot more coming. Also new stuff.

[@bigbake6767]

It is amazing that valuable content like this is available for free. Great stuff, love it.

[@WrldFamousPlus1]

14:55 KJs facing a 3b, suprised jamming with the pot being worth 50% of your stack after the 3b isn't mentioned. I know were 3:1 dog against his most nutted value range but if you throw in 10's and AQs were 2:1 and If he is a reg with some bluff or maybe some merged 3bs, + the fold equity considering the amount of times we have to x/f flop seems like it would have made for a viable option. Thank You very much for such high quality content.

[@WrldFamousPlus1]

21:00 talking about 15bb co opens. Ben put alot of small pairs in the R call range. I feel like i've seen him say in other vids (either way) aren't we much much better off open jamming say 22-77 than opening are self up to re-steals that will have very good equity vs us and calling off

[@nathansmith7335]

Great video! One of the best players coaching the best streamer. I love the KJo jam with 15bb. I did this the other night in a live casino, was called by 1010 and won the flip. I was berated by three regs on the table, but to hear that that is the most +ev play from Ben, is comforting.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

That’s when you start crushing the hardest; when other regulars don’t get what you’re doing and just hate on it

[@luanmarques494]

Im from brasil, and i want to say thank you from deep from my soul. What you guys doing here is priceless.

[@camaleonsacor1618]

Damn, this is such a humble video. Respect man. Not much people do this, and it is lovely to hear you so in the student and begginer mindset. 2 very humble guys (ben and you). Great content, pokerwise and humanwise I would say. This is good stuff.

[@sandrissedis8840]

The stuff about 45s vs 89s just blew my mind, it seems so obvious, but yet you never think about it on table really. Against two players a 89s is more of a fold than 45s i guess. Very interesting stuff! When you start to analyze what you have been doing vs what you shouldve done it just makes so much sense.

[@prenomnom6203]

21:25 pretty sure small pps work better as a shove than as a min open/call

[@mydogsbestfren7490]

it's crazy how Ben works GTO into Exploitive which, when focused on EV/equity, is essentially just old school poker (lol).. kudos to Lex to compliment Ben's commentary for us.. thanks for everything Ben and Lex, studying with you guys always leaves me looking forward to playing. you guys make me wanna fence, too, idk.. ya'll are some ninjas

[@nicholasdillis1989]

this is the BEST video you ever made

[@heyjas0n]

So awesome that you’re releasing content like this for free. This stuff information is worth so much. Thank you!

[@57sib]

Im 20 i came across poker mainly over the past year i've just finished a maths degree so im use to studying numbers and methods so for this reason poker absolutely fascinates me. I don't have lots of money so i'm obviously playing the microstakes and although these ideas can't all be applied in the same way for me the thought processes and the key concepts can be. For example Ben talking about your bluff sizing depending on what bluffs you block, or the calling 3 ways pre flop being much better with a hand like 4-5 suited as apposed to 10-9 suited can definitely be applied and make a huge difference. Was a very enjoyable and valuable watch appreciate the content good job.

[@-The-Darkside]

andjety one problem with microstakes is it doesn't break the bank no matter the decision. So bad players can get lucky far more often whereas further up in stakes they actually have a decision to make. I'm not saying move up in stake, but even one step up I found players play the game rather than bingo players.

[@MyTom4]

I can identify myself with this! It was really interesting and helpful

[@57sib]

True but players playing that poorly gives you more opportunities to exploit them so works both ways

[@dannaescu]

raluca SWEET Girl you straight up whack. Have you seen bencb play? Have you seen girafganger7? I got a chance to see his graph before he went private. And believe me when I say "Oh. My. God!". Some of these dudes are printing money. I agree, stress is hard. I agree he should not quit education (nobody is encouraging that, Lex the least!). I agree game is harder. But there is money to be made if you put in the hours. I myself am a loosing player. But I clearly don't study enough. So don't think I speak with hidden intentions. Also, I can say that when I manage to bring my A game to the table, I am a winning pkayer as well, but my BIGGEST problem of them all is that I tilt so hard and so fast and slip into B or even C game way more often than I bring my A game. Peace (mad_man78912 from stream)

[@dannaescu]

raluca SWEET and your point is?...

[@forthesect]

Ranges for you CO 15bb raising range Raise call AKo-A9o AKs-A9s KQs-KJs KQo All pairs Jam A8s-A2o KTs-K9s KJo QJo QJo - Q9 87s+ 108s+ Raise fold KTo - J10o A8o A7o K8s-K5s 97s 76s Utg pocket pair Jam 15bb 77+ 12bb 66-55 + 9-10bb 22+ Utg 15bb opening range A6s+ AJo+ KQo KTs+ 77+ Sometimes ATo, K9s

[@kirannair4050]

Huge huge fan of your game Lex! And so refreshing to see the legend BenCB reviewing those key spots. Looking forward to more such content!

[@rock.paper.scissors.]

Loved the tidbit on betting bigger with your value hands and how to balance that with bluffs. It makes sense that GTO play should be focused on extracting the most value possible from imperfect opponents. Would appreciate if you equalized the sound levels in future vids though!

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

I’ll check it out! Thanks for the feedback

[@Weazel1991]

Great video, but some things I feel as though can't be correct. Raise calling 22 from CO instead of open shoving with 15bb? (21:00) Surely open shoving would see a greater profit over time? You can push out hands such as 33 / 44 and you fold out possible reshoving hands that you flip against. Not only that Bencb stated that hands such as 22 - 55 have low playability, so if the BB flats (which most will with 60%+ of range) then you are in a weird spot on most flops that don't have 2x hands on them. Not saying Bencb is wrong by any means, but would love to see the maths behind it!

[@johnb8203]

Amazing content Lex! Thank you and Bencb. Really hope to see more of these coaching sessions. Incredible value for us viewers.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

More coming!

[@evoli5060]

I don't get why he didn't open jam 22-77 at 21:30 you don't want the Blinds to flats with some QJo or stuff like that? I'm probably wrong but I don't know why

[@jodyshelley4025]

Lex - around the 22:30 mark, Ben talks about card removal affecting our jamming ranges. Stating that it stands to reason that if it's foldes around to ourselves in the CO, then the remaining players can have stronger calling ranges vs our jam, purely because more Ax, Kx, Qx and pairs are now moreso in their ranges given the card removal effects. If that's the case, and you're in the same spot here with KJ, are you still jamming? What does your range look like? Also, given these insights, if the dynamic is correct, can we potentially alter our EP jamming range so that it becomes looser than our LP jamming range given what our opponents may be assuming about our relative strength given our position(s)?

[@Grandiseen]

Best free content out there! Thanks for sharing this with us Lex, you´re the man

[@666Zerschmetterling]

What I don't understand about the KJ hand and the ranges that go with it (around the 20 min mark): Ben suggests that we should raise/call with all the pairs there. Why don't we just jam with the smaller pairs? It happens to me from time to time when I'm around 15-20BB and open from HJ-BU that people behind me just flat and I have to play postflop with an awkward stack size and poor playability.

[@VeganSavage]

This is the best coaching videos out there! This was so informative and so intuitive! love the videos Lex!

[@Da1337DoOD]

What do you guys think about the push ranges given in Kill Everyone? The 88 hand at 26:30 the book says its TT+, A4s, A5s, A9s+, AJo+

[@omalleymso]

Loved the vid man thanks for taking the time to make this. More of this would be great! Do you have any videos that show or explain how you approach the early stages of an MTT? I seem to only be able to find your mid and late game play when I look through youtube.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

I would highly suggest checking out the stream at lexpoker.tv I play those stages all day

[@lukekali7535]

Hi, Lex When I saw title this video I was like "that really happen?". When I was looking Jeff Gross videos with Ben I start thinking. If only Ben & Lex will be making stuff like this, that will be really great to watch. After capel of weeks, you put this video. My day cant start better :) Lex please this saga must continue! Thanks for a great video and others cool stuff you do for poker. Best wishes for you and now I must play poker because of this video ;)

[@DWill8PG]

Thanks for posting this Lex. I had a question with regards to the KJ hand you shoved from the CO at the 22:00 min mark of the video. How come Ben includes low pocket pairs as part of his raise calling range? I would have thought those would play better as open shoves? Only reason I can think of is it's to make sure he's not raise folding too often.

[@WarHorse45]

Really awesome video Lex. So good to see what high level study does!

[@petrospapadopoulos8671]

I ll be waiting for part2 Lex,keep doing it great job!

[@martinst-pierre6620]

Great Vid!!! At 22:37, range seems fine except for raise-calling 22-44. I feel those hands play better has jams just like small suited aces.

[@alexpreto2399]

This is quality content that we usually have to pay for it. Ty so much Lex! Keep posting them

[@alexherrera84]

Lex! Thanks so much for this, the re-watchability is HUGE

[@mrmaffia5312]

Cal you explain why we are raise/call with 22,33 (15bb) instead of jam

[@daumaas]

love that new coaching series, more of it please

[@yodafoda]

Two of my absolute favorite poker-guys Bossing. Great stuff !!

[@depressedessendonfan5702]

I love how all you good poker dudes just share shit. Combines entertainment with education. Good fun

[@tommartins5798]

So helpful, keep em coming Lex! Can't wait

[@sergiozack974]

MOAR !!!111 When will be new video from this series released ???

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

This week ;)

[@rikvanetten]

This is sooo good😍! Thank you Lex, thank you Ben. This is the theory of rye on practical hands of Lex, with 2 pro's discussing it. Keep this kind of vids coming pleasee.

[@danielpetrov3178]

Hi, Lex, 36:45 what would you do in this situation with 88 if the person who raised EP went directly all-in with his 13 blinds? Would you still shove? I had the same situations at a final table, 9 players, where I had 77 with 10bb at MP. UTG1 with 9BB went all-in and I re-shoved. He was the only person with less stack than me. Non-progressive bounty, but I still think it was a little loose in that situation.

[@sandysanchez4]

at 22:00 why are hands like 22-66 in the raise/call range for 15bb? why would this be a preferred strategy to jamming?

[@robsayer359]

I've often wondered how already folded trash hands effect what is left in the deck and can see how it changes between EP and LP, particularly on a FR table. However, surely this also has an effect on equity realisation when it comes to 34s compared to 98s as BenCB mentions in the video? While villains range is less likely to be blocking our outs with 34s, isn't there a good possibility that plenty of low card trash hands have been folded - therefore our outs are already in the muck? Cheers.

[@escape9-527]

Loved to postflop analysis! 1:05:58 is funny though how ben talks about knowing which one hand is a borderline call in jamming spots, and then wants to fold AJs when it is printing money (1.01bb+) and ATs is the actual borderline hand :P

[@MikeRoddy85]

i'm in the middle of this course and i've already seen my winrate increase a lot. its cool to watch you get coached in a lot of the scenarios i've been wondering about but havent made it to yet in the course. good video as always!

[@dave665]

Played some MTTs whilst watching this vid, after it finished I went on to win my first MTT! Thanks Lex & Ben!

[@esbengunnarssonnolse2575]

this is incredible. truly incredible content.

[@matthewjoubert585]

I havent even watched the video yet, just the intro but I just wanna say that you're a fucking legend lex. Been watching your stuff for about 2 years now and my respect and admiration has only grown. You're one of the good guys bro- thank you.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

So nice dude thank you

[@herman8648]

Wow such an amazing video. I do have a question though. At 21:00 Ben suggest raise calling A9o+ on CO form 15bb. I just can't see how this play can be profitable as when we get jammed on, in my opinion, we are doing so badly vs the jam range??

[@evoli5060]

Love this coaching and Bencb ways of playing is awesome!

[@ugothawked]

I see good things for this series! keep em coming Lex! we appreciate it all!

[@sabeoqueelaquer2333]

This is gold, thank you so much for putting content like this out there.

[@dylanscotney4583]

Really new to poker but at 31:55 the argument that T9s/98s has lower equity than 65s/54s against UTG raiser because of blockers in UTGs range seems strange. At a 9 seated table in that situation could you not make the argument that the folded hands probably hold blockers for 65s/54s?

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

That would matter more in allin preflop situations. This is about realizing equity when you hit flop

[@nikemolan4922]

It just keeps getting better! Loved this video and I'm not even through the intro

[@joshlloyd1422]

this is amazing content lex and ben, thanks so much for sharing, please keep these coming!

[@mattescooper5958]

that content is really pure gold! thanks for uploading. I got a question regarding the spot at 21:48, where u shove 15BB from the CO. Ben has all pockets in his raise/calling range, but I wonder why 22-55/66 are not better as an open jam? If I openjam 22-55 or maybe 66, I maximize my FE against hands that might reshove me otherwise? Its just that I dont like raise/call off with 22? Could you explain that maybe? Cheers and subscribed!

[@forure5531]

Holy, been talking about this video with a friend for weeks, finally its there!!! thank u lex!

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Enjoy!

[@beatthebieber8449]

can u explain why the 88 Hand in 36:48 is a reshove? Its to loose i think and i gace UTG a loose OR . Run HRC and you will see ,,,what u think?

[@beatthebieber8449]

okay.. against a VERY tight opener its slightly + and against a looser its - ???? wtf but my tight its 5% :)

[@MultiChaim]

Finally... 2 of the greatest pkerminds discussing strategy... priceless !!!

[@acorse1]

Love these coaching video's. Thanks Lex & Ben

[@lukasbutzke5884]

Really enjoyed this coaching video with ben. Nice work guys, thanks for the interesting content, looking forward for the next ones!

[@MultiChaim]

Best series so far !!! Learned more then in my 11 years playing !!! Thx so so so much !!! Your a fn beast )))

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Big compliment dude!!

[@samyazzam4517]

Lexy, this is the best value video you have.

[@edwink8626]

Ik vind het echt een fucking vette post! Ik reageer bijna nooit op een video maar wil je ff laten weten dat ik deze echt waardeer! Ik vroeg me echt af hoe je poker beter kan studeren! Ik speel alleen live en dan wordt het wel wat lastiger om zo te studeren maar heb van deze video echt wat opgestoken! Thx Lex

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Supervet dat je ff de tijd hebt genomen Edwin, thanks!

[@mike-ds5mk]

This was just terrific lex, I loved it!!!! thank you sooooo much for posting this video.

[@kirilliv87]

Liquid gold flowing right into my f**king brain man! Great content, keep it going!

[@gogonoise]

I have a question. 15bb ranges are for ante MTT, so, if I play a tournament without ante, the same range is aimed to about 9bb. Right?

[@lucianobarros2058]

I can't thank you enough for this, man! You and BenCb are beasts. Keep it up! Cheers from Brazil

[@fleri7349]

This video got a like in the first 5 minutes...just the conversation on 55 vs q9 was amazing. Thank you

[@mattyjayj]

Awesome Lex! Been waiting ages for this, always love hearing from Ben. Thanks for the content brother.

[@zescaleira6102]

Congrats for very nice content and for finding the way to start liking one of the things you do best, Playing Poker. With this video you really show a great way for people how to reload their Knowledge and start liking the game again. I did nottest a great change on your Mental game, i can't tell what, but you are really sincerely on your words and that's is why you are having one more Fan!! I have just 2 questions, why you did needed to get downswing to search for a coach? Have you ever felt that you weren't enjoying the game and why you did felt that?

[@Hubedsir121]

Awesome stuff please post everything u have from it in future, thinking about getting it as well. So this helps me a lot. Thanks and gl at tables.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Will keep these running for a while man. Glad you like it. Make sure you use the discount codes. You can save a lot of money

[@keesdekker9339]

This is awesome!! Vids just like this one will help me and probably others to improve their poker skills. Would definitely like to see more of this kind of content from you with Bencb.

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

Lots more coming!!

[@Dabl197]

Loving this even over a year later!

[@h0ckeyfan4312]

So pumped to finally watch this

[@nikpredom7095]

Excellent stuff Lex, definitely looking forward for more.

[@rubensmits5274]

On the 15BB KJo spot in the cutoff Ben opted to raise/call 22, but doesn´t this have more EV by shoving because you fold out hands like 33-66, while they might shove if you just open raise?

[@ninovalentijn]

pretty sure the clicking went a little wrong there. he stopped at 55 when he went through the raise-calling pocket pairs at first, pretty sure he meant to make 22-44 jams

[@amitkaushikpoker7482]

This series could be the best poker videos on the internet

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

And it’s faaaar from over

[@carlosdanger2013]

@ 22:00 im surprised that low pocket pairs wold be raise calls here rather than shoves?

[@odebayor7940]

Insanely good stuff! less than three

[@raisethebar9188]

hey lex love the vid but have a question when ben talks about check raising more flops against people who stab to many flops as a bluff how do u balance it because ben also says to always bet your top pairs blind vs blind. is it good to x raise flops with your weaker top pairs when short stacked ?

[@thomasolviermarcusderuiter760]

Dit is echt super nice. Leerzaam, chill ook nog echt leuk om te kijken.

[@OdhianPoker]

Thank you Lex (and BenCB aswell obviously ) for this amazing video !

[@AltumNovo]

Can someone explain why having a raise/folding range at 15BB from cutoff is more profitable than shoving or folding only, while remaining unexploitable. Or is it exploitative? 22:02 Don't you massively weaken your shoving range when you put all your nutted hands into raise/call

[@erikgaiovnik4946]

I'm on a shoestring budget right now, so really appreciate you guys putting this level of material on here. Please keep the series going if feasible. Thanks a lot!

[@yahkub119]

Erik Gaiovnik stop gambling then

[@hugh4579]

OMG unreal content! You’re killing it Lex man!

[@martinleithe8251]

This is awesome! Great content, and definetly makes me wanna test what Bencb says. Change up my strat a bit, see how this feels as this is a different way to approach certain scenarios!. I hope for more of this coaching stuff!

[@wimannewesselink2239]

Great stuff guys! in 20:35 we make a 15bb jamrange. I think we want to "protect" our equity with lowest pairs as well, no? So not raise/calling 22-66 for example but just openjam them with 15bb? Keep it up! Good work!

[@alexneagu7149]

Wim Anne Wesselink I'm also interested. I already heard Bencb and other pros saying that is more profitable just shove 22-66 with 15bb so, I don't know why îs he saying now that you can raise call these hands. Can any one help us?

[@enricobdsm]

Lex and Ben, in the 40:36 hand, would it be wrong to shove on the turn bet?

[@Wanemu]

We want that 88 hand reviewed from SCOOP where you fold top set on a straight heavy run out with 30 left or so. One thyme plz

[@LexVeldhuisTV]

I would love to

[@WhAnNa_Be]

This is superb. Thank you so much for sharing Lex.

[@mattyb8813]

Amazing vid Lex! This content is pure gold - I feel compelled to donate to the stream next session, it's so good!

[@winkwink28]

awesome man ,we need more of this!!
