“If I’m going to do it with my value hands I have to also do it with my bluffs” when you say this do you think this recreational player is thinking this also? What does balancing your betting range accomplish in this specific spot? I don’t mean to sound like I’m a hater and by no means am I saying you’re bad at poker and Im so good cause that’s not true, but I’m willing to bet that you would make a lot more money if instead you just said “what is my opponents range and how can I exploit that”. Once again not a hater, I really do enjoy your videos and I’m a big fan btw ❤. Also I would love to see a video where you try your best to play completely exploitative for one session and then completely GTO another and then you compare them. Think that would be a cool video

[@Angelito3c]

Because of one word: repetition. All good poker players are very good observers and after thousands of hands, very good players will retain more table information (in this case, betting patterns) then most. It’s not about the specific player he is against it’s about all the players at the table plus all possible players he will face in the future. Limiting his play to what u suggest makes him a much easier player to play against. And also don’t forget he puts out all of his hands to the internet! If I knew where he was playing and he did what u suggest, I would gladly sit down to play against him.

[@michaelholland7738]

@@Angelito3c you stole my thunder. Yes, he may be heads up but believe me when I say that every player at that table was paying close attention. That's what good players do.

[@anthonydiliddo6065]

@@Angelito3c I would think it would be more profitable to play very exploitative against players who wouldn’t catch your exploits because they simply aren’t good enough but the good players a balanced strategy makes sense so I would argue that it’s better to switch between balanced and exploitative depending on the player he’s up against

[@anthonydiliddo6065]

@@michaelholland7738 If you were at the same table with him and you saw Lex was only value betting against a fish how would that change your strategy against Lex. I think it wouldn’t, so the fact that the rest of the table is watching this hand makes absolutely no difference

@@anthonydiliddo6065 assuming they went to showdown and I saw. I think you need to look at it from the other way around. What if he was caught bluffing and I saw THAT. He would then become a much more difficult opponent to play against because he is showing "balance"

Super excited to see more LexO Poker videos.

[@treyrichardson3162]

Concerning A9o hand, most people don't admit mistakes and/or weaknesses. When you say, 'hey I messed up there and I'm working on improving that play,' that alone puts you way ahead of the field. You're playing a winning strategy. Just stay focused.

[@treyrichardson3162]

Concerning the 64s hand, Lex, that's the kind of guys you want at the table. We all know we have to feed the fish at times or they won't come back if they never win- it just sucks when it actually happens.

[@bradjohnson8100]

I am encouraged that you are aware of calling when you're beat. Huge drain on your play.

[@sols.2525]

A lot of my poker sessions seem to go this way. Not many big hands and when I do get big hands I either dont hit or get outdrawn on the river. Havent been able to play in a long time though. The only room near me shut down at Covid and although the rest of the casino is open it doesnt look like they are going to open the poker room back up =(

Thanks for another great vlog Lex!

[@internetposta7389]

A9 Hand. How do you work on that? You either fold to a re-raise there which begs the quesiton of why C-bet. You get bled there by by AQ, AJ, A10, A8, A3 all of which might have called. Not sure what would be re-raising you there on the flop. GTO says play A-9 off on the button but you get taken to the cleaners with it a lot.

[@TheWillieg1]

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Lex, gotta agree with you that you need to work on folding those times it’s obvious that your opponent is value-betting the river.

[@chris2003ize]

What was the story with the pocket 10"s?

[@daniels9775]

Uhhh…the board pairing at 1:30 does NOT reduce the likelihood he has a full house…not really possible to have a FH until the !?

[@Hammer.J.Helmer]

You kinda held onto that A 9 like a lifeboat in the ocean… sometimes you guys get too wrapped up in how YOU think and your lines to recognize an easy read because it was unorthodox. I’m a super aggressive player, and I would have check raised you for that combo draw sometime too for the exact same reason… to bloat the pot and get more value on later streets to make it worth going for the draws. I would argue that it is profitable.

[@mbuckler123]

[@jtome84-91]

On the A 2 hand your pre flop min raise looked suspicious .

[@pauld7804]

In the first hand you say you think the river is a great card because it pairs the board and reduces the chance of him having a full house. Since one cannot have a full house without the board pairing, this statement seems paradoxical. Please elaborate. Love your vids. Hope you run better in the next session.

[@cruelgod435]

Very unlucky night. When you have good hands, they either fold or you do not connect with the flop. One thing though, you need to discipline to fold earlier.

Dang, right into the action. I enjoy the life updates Lex. Cool to know what you’re up to and how a good pro lives

[@michaelwillis4532]

A big misconception poker players make is that,their actions will dictate what the villain is going to do. Your winning and loosing , depends a lot of the time,on what decisions your opponent makes and that is more dependent upon his cards then your play. What works against this guy once,will never work against this other guy. We go home after loosing sometimes,wondering,why didn’t I just fold instead of jamming in that spot. It worked last week but didn’t tonight! I think limping raising your opponents preflop and check raising the flop,when possible,will narrow your opponents range down faster and we can avoid those tougher situations on the river,trying to figure it out. Just my opinion. I’m not a pro,by no means,but this tactic has really helped me tremendously make smarter river decisions to maximize my winning and minimize my losses.

[@masonfox9070]

As an already good poker player, what do you do to try to improve your game and get to the next level? You are already busy with travel, life, and lots of poker games + making videos, so was curious what you do to find that edge and extra skill while balancing the normal load?

[@tony52398]

Uhmmm first hand you said the board pairing reduces the likelihood he has a full house….. I’m confused. I’m guessing you meant reduces the odds he has a set?

The river pairs board and makes it reduces the likelihood that he has a full house? He can't have a full house until the board pairs...

Lex, if rec players aren’t check raising draws why call down with A9 there against a check raise triple barrel? You’re essentially putting them on value at that point and nothing worse than A9 is going for 3 streets

[@scottgrasse1786]

he pretty much acknowledged in the video that it was a mistake.

[@x305HuStLa]

when just about any rec player check raises, alarm bells should start going off.

[@rorypicaut9742]

Definitely not one of the most exciting Vlog you’ve ever done. However, I do appreciate it, because as you stated, more than once, the life of a poker grinder is not always flashy, high hands, monster pots. It is a lot of long hours of grinding, being card dead, and sometimes losing every play you try to make. Thanks for keeping it real. Super stoked for December.

I used to watch Lex’s vlogs all the time and I took a break for about a year. I’m watching them now and I noticed that he’s playing terribly. He definitely got worse as a player and did not improve at all. I expected more from Lex.

[@Kvic901]

Lex thank you for balancing showcasing your wins and losses. It gets old and somewhat annoying seeing guys like Mariano and ben deech who only show wins

[@TimHowell1985]

I love watching your videos Lex, but that is the worst I have ever seen you play. Your C- game.

[@docktaphil]

It is uncanny how quasi-famous vloggers continue to attempt to degrade other players by calling them 'recreational' players when getting outplayed. The whole concept of pigeonholing your opponents is to assess the risk and quantify their acumen. To help yourself avoid big traps and to assist in narrowing down their likely holdings. Instead, it ends up being an alibi to satisfy the ego in order to justify calling because you don't respect other players game. That check raise should have been a money saver--either I'm dominated, or he has a large draw. Opening with A-rag, then having the flop land completely in your opponents range should set off warming bells. Instead, it increased the anger of being played back. Oh well.
