[@pokerpenguin211]

Dog park intro is the best intro! Keep it rollin Lex!

[@genekunkel8001]

knowing when to fold is what makes a winning player

[@sJ-ls8pw]

So folding to the possibility is the correct play?

[@genekunkel8001]

@@sJ-ls8pw following your subconscious or conscious which should have taken into account how your opponent plays, pot odds, betting patterns, and good old gut feelings; yeah. if you don't fold an occasional winning hand you are calling to often

[@kitbillion7783]

12:25 I think we can learn a lot here. QQ is drawing to 1 clean out here 90% of the time or even every time while potentially drawing dead to quads here. I think it's very important to make folds like these on the flop to save up 75 bucks which will add up a lot over time. Given the perceived range of the initial raiser it's possibly JJ+/AQ+. we block QQ and AQ and those hands probably won't even bet into multiple people so we are left with KK AA and AK.

[@michaelhoffman3480]

Love seeing the puppy. Great content Lex! Keep it up.

[@rarepear7914]

Nice run bro, that dude Tommy hit everything under the sun✌great fold w the pocket AA and KK, your gut knows when you're beat💯

[@edwardkea3175]

Another awesome video as usual. I was here when there was seven thousand subs. Amazing how it has grown so quickly. Tells you keep doing what you’re doing cause it’s working!!! Keep em coming brother and have a blessed day

[@nicholasperkins84]

Dude really enjoy these videos. Honest, informative and real! Love your videos bro!

Lex you put everything into making your vlogs, and you do it well, again bro 40k subs no problem, great content and keep up the gd work.

[@kansascub]

Solid logic on the aces hand. I'm a no regrets guy. If I feel like I'm beat or it's a bad flop, I do not feel bad at all about folding hands others would not. Great vlog as usual!

Every intro that starts with Rogue gets my Thumbs Up!! 🐕

[@danielgarland9838]

Thanks Lex for how u break it down at the end of how you are fluid with the different player types! I do think the folks that subscribe can learn and improve on their game as I have! You could be a poker coach for sure!!

What a nice feeling at the Start with your dog love the usa so much greets from Germany 🇩🇪👍

Awesome episode and insights !! Also, awesome seeing Rogue !!

Nice fold….always follow your gut. Great content as always, Lex.

[@arnolds6423]

another good video Lex, good reads on your opponents. Looking forward to next Thursday for the BIG WIN!!

[@robertraisor839]

Excellent blog. Watch all the time. Very good tips and I like your explanation of your hands

[@bryandajay4401]

Just started watching the video, and I already thumbs up for doggy intro 🐶🐶👍🏾👍🏾

[@thequietmastermind]

Well done Lex on sticking to your read. Even with commentary being edited in we hear people say things like "I should do this if they call" but don't because its less fun to fold. Reading the player and knowing when the best isn't good enough will only lead to more profit long term.

[@domenicandriano2386]

Get this man to 40K subscribers. Great Work Lex

[@dgolberg]

Love the opening with rogue! So cute.

I appreciate you sharing your thought process. You have made me a better player. Thank you.

[@wnl1965]

Great video, enjoy your thoughts during the hand. Congrats on the positive 2021.

ROGUE! Love that dog... oh yeah the vlog is great too. LOL

Glad to see you back in Texas and winning this time.

[@pauladkins6450]

Great to see Rogue getting off the leash occasionally - perfect analogy of his human getting off the leash with 10/4. Love the videos Lex

[@davegriffus9493]

You’re the man. Love your vids.

[@dogperson432]

Excellent fold with Aces. One of the things about these Texas poker games is that people will call a raise with all kinds of unlikely hands in addition to their regular ranges which can crack a hand like aces. Kudos to you for listening to your gut and making a good fold in a situation where aces are almost certainly beat. Texas Tommy is like the quintessential Texas poker player. It's impossible to know what he has because he plays almost any two cards, he runs like a god, so if he's putting money in he almost always has it. This is especially the case when he's blasting off and it doesn't seem to make any sense. That being said, because his style is so unpredictable, it's really hard to catch the bluffs that he mixes in and they are usually big bluffs with air for big pots, not the blocker-based or semi bluff hands that you would see from a more traditional poker player. And even though in some situations he will call people down light, it seems when you really have a monster he can sniff it out . The only time I seem to get Texas Tommy for a lot of money is when I play a monster passively and he's just trying to blow me off it, and even then it's not easy because sometimes he still has a bigger one. I find this type of poker player extremely difficult to play against lex, and I'd love to hear any thoughts you have on meeting this strange Texas poker meta now that it seems to be going so well for you.

[@greenberetwoodworks6458]

Folding those Aces with that board was a great call I think, especially with the background you gave on the players.

[@brianmaloney45]

Great info on changing up how you play versus different people. You have to be able to play differently.

[@lamontholmes4022]

Always

[@dougdougherty5334]

Thanks for putting me in the blog. My wife got a kick out of it! Next time I won’t play my kings so obviously.

[@lexopoker]

See you at the tables !

[@GRANTTRAUBable]

I’m so stoked to see your next video. Keep it up Lex

[@Bruta1Hamster]

Superb intro! Want to walk there with my dog also!

[@markhellie6837]

Way to win with the Trucker Hand!! Great vlog!

[@shawn6726]

Florida misses you bud. Keep reppin us strong big dog! Can’t wait to see the next video. Hope u make it to social down in Huston.

[@tomprice4016]

What a cliff hanger...looking forward to hearing about that session.

[@jonathanmalka6678]

youre a total legend, cant. wait to watch you hit 100k

[@bob5365]

Paying attention at the table to what every player is doing is very important if you are to succeed. I would say that you had the correct reads in the hands that we saw. Most people would have continued with those aces and lost a big pot. Hope the run good continues for you.

[@williamzagarella8066]

I actually think most people check/jam aces there and I actually think you get QJ to fold. He has an 8 out draw, that's it. You check jam aces there, you get both of them to fold, cuz the girl said she only had 1 pair. She probably had 88.

[@bethebank8719]

I would definitely be peeling a turn with AA bc impulsive but the thought process is on point. Conserving capital is just as important as maximizing value

[@T-roc57]

We didn't see the lady's hand tho, gotta assume calling an all in on that board she had AA smoked too. Much as i love AA a big bet from a tight player then a call gotta let em go there.

[@LikeTheRoom]

Your dog is an absolute stud. It's awesome how you take him with you.

[@monabear7287]

He's a babe magnet.

[@LEFTaTIP]

Hey Lex, just stopping in to say your vlogs have certainly been more entertaining and more insightful. I've always said the top poker players not only have the skill but the right instincts when reading poker situations, just like your A-A fold on the flop and of course being lucky. Anyways keep this incredible poker journey going and the best to you and Rogue. !!

[@0MG.N0]

Whether a fold is supertight totally depends on the circumstances. In those circumstances, your AA fold was perfectly sound. With those players and that flop, it wasn't nitty at all. Love the preview too :)

[@CoachBaileyCooper]

Your spidey-sense was on point that day!

[@ColonelBlair3]

@7:42 does the fold register on the nit scale? Yes. Is it the nittiest fold of all time? No. In fact, I think it is a good fold. UTG 1 has all 3 sets, pocket pair plus straight draw, and naked straight draws(some have BD flush draws) in her range. TX Tommy could have anything UTG 1 has, additionally, random 2 pairs as well. When UTG 1 bets 2/3rds pot, and then a call, it is likely you're behind at least 1 of them. With it being live poker and UTG 1 being described a tight, conservative player, I don't see their bet as a bluff. As you stated, there are so many cards you don't want to see on the turn, therefore, I think I would have folded as well.

[@JorgeRodriguez-re4gu]

You’re great bud. Love the content

[@carlilucrasfamily7033]

That's a nice session I always like your thought process and you adjust perfectly to your opponents to make a profit And the As it was the correct lay down you only had 1pair in a very wet board and if u think you are beat is because you probably are so forget about wat people say good job and keep the great content coming

[@justinhendrick8529]

Lex…you’re wrong!!! We come for the Rogue content! All of the poker is just a plus!

[@heathtoliver8686]

Love your content and Texas is being better for you this go round..

[@ludwig77]

LEX! LEX! LEX! You folded AA, KK, and QQ on the flop or turn and you were right and lost the minimum EVERY SINGLE TIME. THAT is how you do it my man! It may not be as exciting as watching you scoop big pots, but it's still good poker none the less. And putting a move on Tommy Boy with 10 high...man what a great session. Way to go!!!

[@bg0420]

Keep doing your thing, man. Yeah, most can say "why would he fold pocket aces there." However, poker is about reading your opponent and the situation your in. Only YOU can determine if it's worth continuing to the turn. In this instance, you were correct. Well done, good sir

[@dwainfisher4119]

Nice to meet you lex. I discussed with you at the 5 10 20 at the lodge about how people were saying you were a nit. Then I punted off a triple barrel with 1010 after opening utg lol

[@stephenjohnson3647]

Another great video, can’t believe your not on a100k subscription

[@chefb0b998]

Looks like Rogue had a blast

[@mitchell7749]

Nice brother! Great content love it!

[@parmanduke]

Good one Lex!!!! Great fold

[@MrKarmaface]

Tough life for Rogue eh? 😉 🐶 Good lay downs man, 10 high boards aren’t favorable for the PFR at all, great balance checking your strong hands as well OOP, gives you relative position multi-way seeing what BOTH players do before you act 👍🏽

[@ianshirreffs5604]

I had to pause here on the AA hand. That was definitely a great fold on that board multi way OOP. That's not being a nit, that's great logic. Anyone that thinks differently would have lost a ton, I'm not being results oriented either. They say don't get married too Aces for a reason!!! Good lay down.

[@ericnerenberg7064]

Great video as always, Tommy boy has taste. Lol, He wears a Breitling Colt. Nice time piece. I have one in my collection. GL friend

Next to Brad Owen, Lex your videos are the ones I like the best. Keep it coming, good work...btw. I thought you played really well this session - there were tons of spots where you could have lost lots of money but you didn't. Your instincts were right - even when folding monsters.

[@A684977]

Same here!

[@tinman00]

Brad Owens plays like a nit. It's easy to grind out a profit in Vegas with nitty play

I love his Poker content also. I can see him at the Top in the Poker 🌎

[@HunterDan001]

Great vlog! Cold in TX 🤔 try WY in January/February. Best of luck!

[@rongomez5495]

Folding those AA's early is what makes you and I different. That's why you make money and make vlogs while I go down with the ship every time and never seem to LEARN!! LOL.

[@lamontholmes4022]

Most Poker Players would've seen the TURN card.. Great Fold

[@tinman00]

Love the fast talk lots of hands 🙂. Much better video than the nit Brad Owens 😂🤣

[@chrisleos1235]

Those pocket aces in that spot was a pretty easy fold against those 2 players, you knew exactly where you were at and it wasn't good 👍

[@user-qb3vi5kk3t]

Hell of a fold on those rockets!!!!

[@TheWAZA81]

Great session bro. Nitty but correct so that's a win to me :)

[@robertgermono1756]

rogue looking great and happy

[@hyphenizm]

Folding those Aces was a very disciplined move. I got stacked the other day because I wasn't quite as disciplined. I 3-bet original raiser preflop, he calls. I also put him on a middling pocket pair. Flop comes out J-9-7 or something like that. I bet, he raises, I jam, he has a set and holds. Anyway, I told myself a couple months ago that I shouldn't be overvaluing top pair or pocket pairs as much as I do. Guess I gotta be better about it lol.

[@dfsbrat72]

tht AA fold is a killer fold well thought out

[@alfayed3670]

That was a brilliant fold. Love that foresight. Sometimes you just need that at the poker table. Quick question do you edit two videos yourself every week? That’s a lot of work and wondering if you can share how you learnt edit videos. Appreciate it if you can share

[@jeffevans7449]

Rogue mixes it up at the dog park, while you mix it up at the poker park. You guys are a matched set for sure!

[@GoogleIsRuiningEverything]

I really like your edits and the style of your videos! Would you consider adding your position abbreviation next to your hand in the corner?

[@RobinHood-pf2bf]

Your dog is great and cute! He does not think your a NIT! 😉

[@markstevens3078]

Like the AA fold. Sometimes it is about losing the least when you are beat vs tight player and multiway.

[@dalelaney9517]

I like the videos with Rouge in them. Not sure if you remember but my wife and I ran into you at Bally's around Christmas. You were carrying Rouge because he didn't like the floors. Enjoy the videos

[@strafeist3545]

very nice folds this session lex

[@martinkeller2365]

That's a good fold with AA. You're either way behind or barely ahead. Better spots to be found in a game like this.

[@nategordon8127]

He was ahead when he folded im confused? I understand if you folded on a king turn that brings in the most notable draw on flop but he folded when he was ahead.

[@Knee_High]

@@nategordon8127 the anticipation and foresight that there are two major draws out there and the likelihood of one coming in and destroy your top pair and decimate your stack. Experience and gut feeling also plays a role in every hand. Imo great fold

[@nategordon8127]

@@Knee_High cant be worried about monsters under the bed there are a few bad turns I agree. But to fold just assuming they will come is something that doesn't lead to long term success IMO. To each their own.

[@Knee_High]

@@nategordon8127 i get your point and mathematically you're spot on but sometimes you just have a feeling...but you're absolutely right each t ok their own

In Texas games you can’t say profit without calculating your time and monthly fees. So if your $200 win (cash) was over 7 hours then it’s $101

[@mapispecapac]

No need to explain. Good read preflop and very discipline fold AA

[@bradowen9211]

So I’ve been playing poker for 17 years . I quit my six figure job working in the movie industry 6 months ago because I got burnt out working over 80 hours a week shooting multiple locations in a day . I now play full time because I have been a winning player the last 5 years . In these 6 months that I have been playing I have never ran worse in my life . I can’t play any better and I keep getting out drawn etc……. Does anyone here have any advice on running bad ? Do I just stop playing or take a break or play through it? Any advice would help , thanks !

[@lamontholmes4022]

Poker is a very mental game. If your head isn't straight you shouldn't play at all. I'm a firm believer in Energy and if the Energy is off, then try for another day. Meditation is good towards Poker also.. Hope I was a little help for you if any.
