Bro you need to get some real TX BBQ, I live in Dallas and will put you on. #1Hutchinson’s, #2 Pecan Lodge. Lexo, Dickey’s is like getting Italian food from Olive Garden bro it’s fast food garbage lol even though olive gardens salad dressing is official it’s not real Italian food

[@rodb.5801]

This is actually a very important VLOG. I have been playing poker as a serious hobby for over 30 years and I can say that the most important thing to learn, almost more important than learning advanced poker theory, is how to work through, accept and not tilt bad losing days. Being a little to loose or tight will cost you some EV, but tilting off 500 or 1000 BB (which I have done) will cripple you. It is so so so hard to not play like a schmuck after you get coolered, but a true professional, as you certainly are developing into, will walk away and collect themselves and fight back level headed. You may have lost money but I agree with you that you should be proud of how you handled yourself and realize it's just another day in the life of a professional.

[@oneszeros1]

So what your saying is remain calm and refrain from performing a Negreanu chair throw or a Helmuth blow up containing 40 f bombs in a 5 minute time frame

Seat 4 here… good playing with you Lex! Love the vlog!!

[@caliboy2099]

Got to love poker You played the hand how I would’ve good bets he assumed you had a busted flush draw when he had top pair the river paired he hit trips figured you busted the flush or even two pair bam all in 🤟

[@joebidenhairsnifferandfing3756]

Lex wants your name and address for admin purposes 😂

[@Dexerion]

As I watched the hand I said "Pocket 4's" out loud right as he called it out. Nicely played hand sir.

[@thesportspsych]

Way to give it away

[@JasonAden]

@@thesportspsych apologies, edited out the spoiler. I love that Lex doesn’t tell us opponent’s hand until it’s fully played out - not intentionally spoiled.

[@jpitts312]

How nice is it to come home to your dog who is super excited to see you and takes away some of the poker stress. I watch all your blogs and thought you made all the right decisions with the exception of not re-raising your trip 3s but you are obviously a better Poker Player than I am so my opinion is just that. An opinion.

[@jspallin]

Cooler yes, bad beat no. He was ahead of you the entire time. The J on the river sucks but not a bad beat, just the only card in the deck that gets him paid. As they say, embrace the variance!

[@Nosirt]

The J is actually kinda bad for the villain too since any 2 pair combo with j would counterfeit his boat. But I think given the action, the villain pretty much nailed heros range as Jx without 2 pair since he never got raised.

[@Up2daSky]

In the AJ hand where you are up against the 78 and the guy who said the game was tight, a check raise on the turn looks super strong, continues your story, and he has to fold out 78.

[@tamaustralia4949]

Hindsight is beautiful

[@generateike]

@@tamaustralia4949 not hindsight, was thinking the same thing in real time

[@jessiemooney2140]

I totally agree with you here. What's the point of calling the turn, when you know he said what he said

[@bangmonsta]

100% agree with Up2 and kaleb. The turn was a fold or check-raise to me.

[@ChadRaush]

Yea the way he set it up I was waiting for him to check raise the turn. A call makes no sense after the story he told about the guy.

[@edwardbianchi1073]

[@jonhait5996]

I have been watching your vlog from the 1st one and you are doing a great job as vlogger and as a poker player. It is always great to come home to wonderful friend like Rogue after a rough session. Keep up the good work and I look forward to meeting you in person the next time you are in my town of Las Vegas

[@sebastiendroletpoitras3738]

Love the contents! Keep'em coming!

[@pelicanproperties]

Great VLOG. I think we learn more from the losing hands than the winners. A thought about the AJ vs 44 hand: I think the villain saw a tell when the Jack rivered. That's why he shoved all in, he picked something up from you and knew the Jack was huge for you. Had the river been a brick he would have value bet, say, $1200 - $1500 knowing that you weren't all that strong with just a pair.

[@sleepy3111]

You've got a great mindset dude, you'll get it back in no time

Favorite poker vlogger by far. So real.

[@Troy2573]

Thank you for the content. I was so angry watching the big hand go the other way. That bluff was equally as painful to watch but the nice part was the outro of you just chilling at home with Rogue. We need some run good for you and I hope it comes really soon. Last time you had a really tough session you went back without the camera and took them big and hopefully you go back and do it again. Get them !!!!!

[@weshopper1093]

Hey Lex!! Great video you had some bad beats but that happens in poker. I also have to say your dog is Adorable!!! Good luck in the future!! Hopefully I am sending some run good your way!!

[@tylerm4709]

I honestly believe the trip 6’s hand is a shrug call, you beat all of his over pairs as well as bluffs

[@spoder22]

He 3bets his overpairs preflop. And what bluffs could he possibly have that aren’t total air? Really just 54.

[@WhiteTigressTao]

yes. seeing monsters under the bed after the beat.

[@eddiefast6125]

Yeh what 6's or pairs does he raise with pre flop? It's a crying call due to your poor kicker maybe at worst but it's not a fold there.... Also if he has a full house would he really wanna bet soooo much on the river??

[@RaiderNation666]

seat 4 playing good. balancing out his bluffs and value, sick river. It's cool watching the vlog and seeing how different players play.

[@RaiderNation666]

wish I had the game selection available here that you have. If I want that I have to travel a few hours. If there is anything bigger than 2/5 playing here it's hard to leave the table if you are getting the worst of it. These games only run a few days a week so gotta get em in while u can.

[@moseefus]

Worst part of this is you went to Dickeys! Thanks for the content.

[@superjonboy873]

Awesome, thanks for posting!!! I love your videos, well made, good poker analysis and overall really entertaining!

[@n_a8917]

I really enjoyed the intro at the restaurant my man.

[@JackFitzhugh]

audibly gasped when he had pocket 4s

[@Dexerion]

From Lex's tone I could tell, I looked back and said "pocket 4's!" out loud right as Lex revealed it. It made sense, nasty play. Still we aren't in the business of folding sets.

[@mikeharry2509]

Up or down, you put out good blogs. Really good analysis. Keep em coming.

[@ianshirreffs5604]

[@bradjohnson8100]

Excellent discipline moving to a lower stakes game after the coolers.

[@ljsquare1]

I’m new to your vlog and really like your commentary.

[@yeahicrackaces]

Sessions like this are a result of just playing bigger. If you aren't too tilted then things will be fine. 2-5 is still pretty dang juicy even if u drop down.

[@Kevin-fx5rt]

I’m an Omaha limit hi/lo player and can relate to this so much You will be ok remember bad sessions are going to happen

[@richardklein9568]

No need to play the 5-10, the 2-5 plays like a normal 5-10 plus you get the weaker players. The 56 hand bad river however as you were going through the hand I was thinking a must call, I know it is easy to say after the fact. All the best Lex O!

[@Eric-shhhhh]

You’re one of my favourite, keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

[@dewalt1799]

Always look forward to your amazing content!! Congrats on hitting 30K!! Happy Thanksgiving Lex!!

[@davidgrant3026]

Crazy session. Sounds like you're mind is in the right place. Check raises on the flop seem to always be a strong indicator of a flopped set. I keep learning the hard way.

[@michaelparry4273]

The run good is going to come in a big wave, just around the corner. GL, great content

[@TwistedMetal32]

Love Rogue post sessions. He’s so happy when you come in, he’s a lil cutie

[@thelurker12]

Pocket 4's that was gross. I always feel like most check raises from straightforward players are usually baby sets so 44 maybe not too surprising from a large part of the player pool. But that guy was super aggressive and shown to bluff. Could easily have KJ, flush draw, others I guess. I would snap call as well. Sorry about the cooler dude.

[@GetRichorDieScratching]

That was probably the worst river for Lex ~ J♥️. I don’t think anyone is ever folding A-J after the diamond misses. Brutal.

[@roguemerlin1969]

Love your videos and the fact you don't just show the run good but the loosing nights as well. The hand against the vlog watcher you told us your thought processes. One thing you didn't mention. Yes, he is a vlog watcher, but you are in Dallas, Texas, where they like to bluff as well as call down on the river with marginal hands. I play there often and while there are tight tables, they are the exception rather than the rule. With me, winning or losing for the night often comes down to one hand where I'm either coolered, or make a bad read and fold the winning hand. Anyway, I love your videos so keep up the good work.

[@vwscottvw]

Lex, I've got a question about the AJ vs 4's. IF that player had not shown the bluff earlier after shoving all in do you think you would have played the hand the same way? I am would like to know as it seems he may have baited a hook.

[@Scottjf8]

There's such great BBQ here in Dallas and you chose one of the worst! Check out pecan lodge or hard 8 or ten50 or Hutchins

[@georgebabamirza8067]

Hey lex For first time I actually read the other comments I'm poker player in Vegas Most of these comments that are play Monday morning quarterback are clueless You played great don't let the bad results get to you Best vloger by far Keep it coming

Great episode !! sorry you lost some $$. i love Rogue !! he wants a walk now. lol

[@JamesLauf]

[@leegymallari]

I felt like it was pocket 4s but it's just really hard to get away from that after rivering trips

[@davidwood7738]

Im a big fan. I like your intros. There are cardhouses all over Texas. Wolfgang finds alot of rec players.

[@dmcooper888]

Wow I like that you put your little losses on there not just your wins So I have to give you props for that good video

[@yiannipapaeracleous9396]

on the AJ versus 44 hand, I feel like if the EP preflop raiser had a Ax of diamonds, he would've C bet on the flop instead of check raise. There definitely are plenty of players who would take that line with a hand like Ax of diamonds, but the check raised just seemed kinda strong to me. I think he might lean more towards a call with Ax of diamonds knowing that Jx with strong kickers will not fold too often. When I was watching it, my initial thought was he had binked a set of 4s lolol, and if not that, an overpair. Comparing the semi-bluffing combos to the made hand combos... Semi-bluffs: AKd, AQd, ATd (50%?), A5d, A3d, A2d - 5.5 combos Made hands: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 44, 22 - 22 combos! (Equities vary amongst these combos) When looking at the combos like this, I think it's very realizable that it might not be very profitable to get involved with AJ, especially considering that you have to fade a diamond on the runout. It might be more profitable if you think you're opponent is bluffing with hands like AQo, A5o, etc. with the A of diamonds.

[@EndrKamellebud]

Best Vlog Lex keep going! 💪😎🐕♦️♠️♥️♣️

[@antoniowoods4356]

I think you could have found the call against the Q8 bluff. Either way, well done Lex 👍🏽

Rogue, I hit the like button for you and ur daddy,, he knows poker and has the temerament

[@inbarkurti4524]

Out of all the poker vloggers, you've been running the worst at this time and yet I still think you are in the top 3 skill wise. Continue the grind man!

[@CowenJE]

You have to account that if someone says they are a fan, either don't play against them or don't play your usual game vs them. They studied you, they know what your thinking and they will take advantage.

[@leehjones]

You had me at Dickey's.

[@gbwiz]

the AJ i prefer you check raise turn or lead the river.....what do you think vs that opponent specifiic?

[@dennisseeb3061]

The five six hand I believe you call if you are ahead or even.

Bad luck on this one. Enjoying the vlog. Watching in the Netherlands.

[@JEB88]

Great content - really appreciate!

[@ryanlisterman1864]

Playing that deep, I would have loved to see a re raise on the river with the trip 6s a think it was a great spot to bluff with blockers to a boat.

[@ryanjohnston8237]

Hi. I wouldn't mind hearing more about Dallas. I'm considering a move.

[@alperaras7169]

a check then reraise OVER 2 PLAYERS is always shows a strong hand,

[@philsouthwood2389]

Thanks Lex

[@kidpoker8395]

You checked the river. You owned yourself 😞 That 44 in 4th seat is an odd conversation preflop

[@teecee4459]

I wouldn't consider that trip jack hand a bad beat. As soon as you got excited about the river J, I was already worried about a flopped or turned set.

[@lightonstillwaters6789]

Love the intro music...who are they?

[@johnstdm1]

Hi there Lex, it seems like the Texas crowd just doesn't pay off the same way. Do the table dynamics feel different than back in FL?

[@anthonypence2110]

Well, even a down session at least provides us with great content and your honest thoughts. I personally try not to let someone’s opinion of the game (table full of nits) affect my decisions. I just agree or ask them if they’ll like to coach me after the session is over. Haha.

[@ameritrev]

13:30 big fan of loose older men? Just messing with you, great video as always. Really tough cooler against the pocket 4's

[@-maccabee]

lov ur style man

[@coreysimmons2374]

I thought he was bluffing you with a good diamond scare. He was, but you did fold and move sooner than later, way better than playing back at him with a whole table full of players. You are great and winning thousands after a few sessions will decrease this session's deficit over time. No worries, you got this.

[@okiepokertraveler1718]

I don't think the AJ hand was as much a cooler as a mistake giving him too narrow a range. When he raised, he's doing so with strength into the bettor and a call. That, to me, would scream set. And since you have a jack, it should narrow that down to 22 or 44 almost exclusively. Only other thing I'm giving him is a bluff with the nut flush draw, which he's obviously capable of.

[@bloodfox567]

Tough spot when you are down so much money already. Just have to play your cards and block out previous stuff. Im a fish and would have called but thats why im only an even player at best. Love the vlogs lex.

[@chelseafanfromasia]

I think that AJ hand is not a snap call. Although seat # 4 did bluff all in with a busted straight draw before, he was in position and that was quite a scary board to bluff catch for seat # 2, especially oop. The fact that he showed his bluff means he knows people will be wary of his image, and thus more likely to call him down. Regarding the AJ hand, seat # 4 checked raised two opponents oop, and bomb turn and shove river. What bluff would he realistically have? Unless you think he is a fish, I don't think a normal player would just shove Aces, Kings or Queens on that river. I don't think KJ, QJ would check raise 2 opponents and just blast off either. So realistically you're mostly beating a bluff, like diamond draws. However, when you called a bet and raise on the flop, your range contains a lot of jacks. The river pairing jack is a terrible card to bluff at if he had missed diamonds. Granted, it is a very tough hand to get away, especially against a player with such wild image, but I really think you should have just think about it for a little before calling.

[@markhellie6837]

Great Vlog!

[@dacgours55]

The AJ isnt really a huge cooler as you say since you said you were going to pay off a river bet anyway on a blank.

[@keithschleis1994]

Jiggities or Jacks bro 😂no Jimmy's no giggities

[@mikemckeon8976]

Yea, that J on the river was the worst card for you! The check raise on the flop is setting off alarm bells, but I understand the call with the prior shown bluff. Then that river just S..KS! I think even if you took time to think it out, you still could have called, Monday Quarterbacking aside. I normally will only show one buff, just to set up this same kind of outcome later in the game. I never show the buff on a player whom is just running back, but reloading, they already on their own kind of tilt. But your friend was happy to see you, has to help you out mentally at the end of a bad session ❤

[@brucefolger4748]

I love Dickey's!!!! Have em all the way up here in Wisconsin.

[@donydony1231]

I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but what was your net loss at the end of the session?

[@jwdorm]

Dickeys??? Try Pecan Lodge, Hutchins or Cattlelack!

[@chsuman340]

Bad luck on the cooler but I think 44 hand felt like a fold on the river. That river card is bad for him to bluff and the all-in eliminates all over pairs. I think it narrows his range to either a set or KJ/QJ. Would be a close call but the bet size and consistency makes it more likely a set.

[@hymnofashes]

Good job, I would have played the session basically the same way.

[@petermaag9622]

J river probably makes it more of a fold than if it was a 2 of spades, once he goes all-in. What do you think he does that with as played once the 'worst' card hits? He never has a J himself. Making up your mind on the turn is good, but refusing to re-evaluate is not.

[@lucios2000]
