SUNRUN IN THE WARM UP!? $35000 1st place!

[@smeeps1251]

Watching your clips is like watching one of the lads play, the ups and downs the bad beat kickoffs, the relief when you win a big hand and the pure joy when you win is absolutely amazing mate. I watched Tonka win an insane amount the other day and he didn’t show half the amount of emotion you did, no disrespect to him at all but for me I like a bit of connection to how some of us average joes play and your clips definitely give that, keep up the winning ways and good luck in future games bro. Massive fan Newcastle England.

[@avi121121]

hey lex in 56:25 you had QK didn't it was better to raise call the shorts and fold to the BB or you was going to call any why

[@ryandurkee9967]

Title of this video should be “sweat on the turn”. How many sick turn cards gave pocket pairs 4 card flush possibilities but missed every time. Other option is “short stack always doubles”.

[@CoolBeansGG]

I highly recommend to watch this video, i was there from start to finish and it was one of the most epic streams i'we seen of poker playing, i wont' say too much coz of spoilers but you won't regret it !! Cheers Lex, you justified your pro tag, i became a subscriber on twitch and become even more enthusiastic about your content then usual, fuck you love you less then 3 !!! True fans will know what this means !!

[@7Ridge]

Lex, I'm a french guy who see your videos when I can. I am a novice payer but it's great to see your game and how you play. I learn the poker better with YOU. Tanks for that. You are my favorite poker player and I am happy for you for this 1st place. Congratulation. Sorry, my english isn't very good. I hope see you for a bigger payout the next time.

[@alexneagu7149]

40:00 that guys just checked pre TT BB vs SB. The ICM is insaaane

[@sadiqurrahman9741]

just sharkscoped him. He is up like 600k! Very very good player!

[@ThereAreTwoGenders]

When playing a good player sometimes you have to do tricky stuff, the fact that you were so surprised someone checks a good hand in the BB when SB calls to disguise their hand, tells me you dont play poker at a high level. Checking there can be more profitable. If you raise you risk the sb just folding pre. Also if you raise and the sb bricks the board you very well are not getting any more value out of him. But checking pre in position for post flop play, you give your opponent an opportunity to hang himself and bluff at it because he may think you dont have a strong hand and can get you to fold, when in fact you have a hand. Make sense?

[@alexneagu7149]

@@ThereAreTwoGenders I think isolating is the standard play here BB vs SB in a non FT environment, at pretty much any level. It is all about ICM. The guy who is in the BB doesn't want to play a big pot, even if he is IP; the risk is too hight. You don't wanna go busted.

[@ThereAreTwoGenders]

@@alexneagu7149 I can agree it is somewhat pot control but I believe he is trying to be deceptive too. Lex was playing big stack bully so he may have been scared of a large 3 bet, who knows.

[@tassv5909]

that was intense watching. Thank you for being entertaining and a calm non annoying poker pro to watch that is super nice to subs. Great play. Great decisions. Insane flips indeed. Last hand was crazy too by that time I was cheering like craz.

[@alexneagu7149]

43:32 isn't A7o good enough to call after all that previous shoves?

[@Michaatjeh]

I am not quite sure, it's a good question. I don't think it would be a good call, because Corresao should understand ICM pressure and he will not be shoving like Q10s. He has a very small range. JJ and up, maybe 10's. A7o is too weak of a hand, even a7s would be a questionable call imo. Calling it and losing it would jeopardize Lex's strategy because he would have two relative big stacks behind him. Raising almost any hand out of position can be be very dangerous with those two stacks behind him.

[@alexneagu7149]

@@Michaatjeh he has been shoving sooo much over Lex's open raises... I think he's shoving 77+ there against Lex's 50% open raising range there, and I think It will be a good shove. Lex is opening soooo wide and corresao can rejam wider because of that, right? And corresao isn't risking that much because only one guy is shorter than him. That's why I think he can't be too tight reaming here against the cheapleader. What are you doing here with 77, 88, 99, A5s, KQs, KJs and even other suited or not, broadways SB vs CO 14bb deep? I think that hands are easy jams ag Lex. (I'm not saying Lex should call, just trying to learn about this spot and corresao's 3bet shoving range there)

[@Michaatjeh]

@@alexneagu7149 I have thought about it some more and you make some good points. I think it all depends on positioning. I still think ICM plays a big role. I do agree with you that his range could be bigger for shoving it in considering Lex's raising range. I am not sure how much risk I would be willing to take. I either double up or lose a 5 k payjump. I think his range increases versus similar stacks but he should be tighter versus Lex. But that's my opinion. I mean Corresao did call an all in with 72s risking a pay jump. I have no idea how this guy plays. I would play like an absolute nit on that FT versus Lex. I am on mobile and tired so my arguments aren't that eloquent.

[@Michaatjeh]

@@alexneagu7149 I would shove 9's and above. KQs, and A5s, although the latter is kind of trick. Perhaps eights, I think it would be a gut feeling for. KJo would be a no-go for me probably. To be honest, I play microstakes and biggest win was like 1450 dollars so I have no experience with such ICM pressure.

[@bob010NL-z7t]

First time watching your streams. Really enjoyed it. You're so much more humble than when you were younger and you thought you were the next poker wonderkid. Now you're genuinly happy when you win a flip and that's nice to see. Gg and gl

[@aimexxifourtw6259]

Congrats man, well played i am so happy for you :) Got one Serious question tho, shouldnt you fold pocket threes at 48:30 to keep the shortstacks in play? Icm wise?

[@TheDamien474]

Yes

[@jonasresas]

Once he calls he has the opportunity to bust both and most likely busting one at least. If they loose he can still put pressure on other stacks because even if they have similar stacks between them, they can't be calling due to ICM. The ICM disappears only when you're the shortest stack by far. He would not be interested only if he was 2nd or 3rd in chips, because in that way he would loose the possibility to put pressure on middlish stacks between the real shorties (10bbs) and the 20bbs stacks

[@Michaatjeh]

Does anybody know what's the yellow marking of a player means? Coresao started red and at the final table Lex changed it to yellow.

[@pseudonayme7717]

He is rating players according to how he thinks they play so it's fluid. Yellow = bad\easy opponent through to Purple(I think) = good\difficult opponent.

Happy for you Lex, well deserved, but what do you think about Tonkaaa chopping the Sunday Million and you winning the Sunday Warm up (the same sunday?) on a site that has already cheated the taxes in the past? Knowing your audiences it would be good to make people think they can also achieve the same results...

It was a great game to watch. Thanks Lex. Always a pleasure.

you are by far the most sympathic streamer i know, congrats. im sure u win another won in next weeks

[@skullduggery3377]

@23:18 - what's he mean "if you have a setup", etc?... does he mean if you're a dog and you end up ahead?

[@lostintheshuffle6527]

he means having two very playable hands in a position where you can expect people to make moves with crap i.e. Button vs BB, SB vs BB, Cut Off vs Button and each player having AK vs QQ or something of that nature. The chips are Setup to go in

[@NikhilAutar]

You walked in with 35% of the chips in play! Played it decently well. But yeah... like at a $330 weekly game at my casino... it's common to see average stack being 15bb, with a 'bigstack' being 25-30bb lol. 30 min blinds, so it's not that much of a turbo. I played a random $55 buyin tourney the other week. 18 runners - 3 paid. With 4 ppl left there was a total of 30bb haha (that was 20 min blind standard pub poker shiet after busting from a larger buyin though haha).

If you've watched Lex's stream before you'd know he's taken an insane number of terrible bad beats in huge spots. Sometimes it goes the other direction and you just run super pure, it has absolutely nothing to do with him being sponsored. You have to run really well to win a tournament, stuff like this happens to literally every single person that has won a tournament before.
