disagree wholeheartedly. That 57 was probably the only possible combo that villain would valuebet that's worse, and they're never bluffing. the Kc blocking some flushes is not enough to make you call.
@@LMW87MMA I agree with you, I would fold, those who are saying it is an easy call are severely overestimating the hands that she can show up with for value that we beat. It is pretty much 75s...and nothing else. If we had the ace of clubs I could find a call here (since Axcc are very plausible value hands), but putting all Axcc into her value range makes this a pretty clear fold.
He bet so small on the turn it gave the guy a great price and if he thinks AK or a set is paying when/if he gets his straight then he has implied odds making it a clear call. Sometimes going for those extra few bucks cost us
calling 600 into a 2100 pot with two tens is an awful call. AT would be a better hand to call with since u have removal to ur opponent having an ace and either having a KX or JX hand. U can only catch a queen to win in most situations and the queen of hearts could be a devastating card. And if the queen comes does ur opponent pay off a big bet...not likely even though Lex does pay it off. This is a huge gamble to call turn bet in this scenario. Bad play. I couldn't tell for sure if the opponent had the ten of hearts; if so this is even worse to call the turn with because it eliminates so many flush draws.
@@logansmith4690 My exact thought...just bet huge on the turn and the hand is over or else these are the consequences of" NOT" doing so!!!! Particularly having only 20 mins left from booking your largest win to date in this game. Consider it a lesson learned( LEX) or I can assure you this will happen again trying to keep guys around!(Lol) Great Video I must say...one of your best!!!!
Tough spot on that last hand mate. I think staying another 20 mins when you are up big after a downswing - I’ve been there ! Best to leave straight away ! Good to see you take the win for the session for sure Lex. Hang tough.
I gotta say, i enjoy your stream of thoughts in your vlog and i really found your self assessment of tilting after your win extremely interesting. Thats awesome that you were able to think about why it is you were tilted even while winning and rationally think about it so it doesnt spill over to other sessions even with your rebuild challenge. Im sure you thought you would have gotten back to even that session. I can definitely understand why you could end the session pissed even when you won. You are human after all.
The AK on that first hand is just a sigh call. You beat all two pairs+bluffs. You only lose to flushes, although there are quite a lot of flushes in BB defend range.
I was leaning towards a call with AK early on because you held a club, but I don't blame you for folding. That pocket Jacks hand at the end was brutal. I was leaning towards a call as well based on what you said about your opponent, although I wasn't surprised that he got there. A lot of tough spots with strong hands. I would've been tilted as well after losing to 10s. Sucks to lose a big pot to a 2-outer at the end of the very profitable session. As always, thanks for the entertaining content, brother!
I played at Pompano for the first time a few days ago and saw you at the high stakes table on the elevated platform. Really wanted to say hi but found it awkward given the table location. Either way really enjoying your content lately!
Sometimes some time off away from the table is the best bet. We all have those monsters under the bed bro. You r somewhat playing scared and we have all been there
On that last hand with pocket Jacks do you think you should have been using larger bet sizes on that dynamic board after three betting the initial raiser?
Is the one time button to see a players cards just at this poker room? I’ve never seen that but it’s really cool. Even the one guy used his when he wasn’t in the hand. Can you explain it for us? Thanks
On the two pair bluffed hand, I was thinking the opponent had a ace high draw and was betting the suited ace pair. I like your mentality for the bankroll challenge, please keep with the playing style after you get into the plus side dollars.
1ST time pausing and answering...i play lower stakes but when im this high up in my range of hands i get here with especially vs a good player I would call. Love the vlog thanks ! Just watched it...ugly but still think a fold way too exploitable there.
Had the exact same situation today against Brad Owen in the MUG at Hard Rock...except I had K Q (no diamond)... hit two pair on the turn w the 3rd diamond Brad bet the pot on the river I folded...BUT he had the flush....
Terrible session! Ouch, butchered your big hands. Monsters must go for immediate value. Stringing them along mostly leads to bad runouts, V getting there, etc. love ya Lex get em next time
I truly agree with the title of the video bc I am tilted for you after watching that last hand!!! From being one hand away from booking a solid $7k and a river card away from making it a 10k+ night to get gutterballed on the river after horrendous call & float by the villain on the flop & turn :-/// SMFH Lex-o!!! In a perfect world, the poker gods shoulda rivered a 10 lol !!!
It was kinda funny how Lex won a big pot with 73 and the very next hand lost to 63 and he felt like that was gross. Lost the minimum though with the 63 guy never raising 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Little bluffs but you sometimes beat thin value like a5 or 57 (I guess ) and getting a Decent price w a relevant blocker…. I also may just be a station
The last hand of the night you may as well have had your chips in the rack! Bad luck. But up 7500 I’m snap folding 3 jacks and taking the money and run. But you live and learn. Very entertaining hands thanks
I think that AK is a call for a few reasons but mainly, you do beat some of her “value” hands like what she had but also A7, A2 with an ace of clubs. I feel like those hands could potentially be in there somewhere in a single raised pot.
The JJ hand We fold because of Villans bet sizing . Have to give credit. a lot of Tx hands will continue vs your flop and turn bet sizings. (All pair + gutshot draws; side note obviously his TT call is horrible) Maybe we can call with one combo of JJ but it’s better to call with all AA, almost all KK, and obviously Tx. Turn needs to be 2e sizing . If I had to guess I’d say JJ on the river is maybe 1/4 call . I could be very wrong though. I don’t think people are barreling 2/3 pot on river in that spot vs a board that is literally top of your range . Seems suicidal, and I don’t think there’s a hand that calls two streets that’s a complete airball. So villain should be taking all middling showdown value here and checking. Even his two pair hands should check sometimes. That’s my thoughts. Best of luck keep grinding lex . Love the content.
I definitely feel u on the entitlement tilt, especially when u at a good game with a table full of fish and u just cant win smh, I aint mad at the JJs call at the end, like u said he wasnt a nit and capable of bluffing so yeah its a sigh call and hope u good
Lex you you still reading the comments? Your crushing it man keep up the good work. Come play in melbourne at club 52 someday theres a 5/5 table stakes game that gets big!
Hey Lex, I hope you see this. I think it's wild to see people bash poker players on their play without facts. People were really upset with you for your AK play and just instantly went in on you haha. I ran this through the solver and here were the results. All AK off suit in this spot is a call except when you have the A of clubs then this turns into a river raise/jam for you. GL in the future, I love the content!
Solvers assume that villain has a balanced donking range on the turn and the river, which I am never giving a random credit for here without some history; it is almost always a straight value proposition. I would be curious to see the solver's solution when all bluffs are eliminated from villain's range on the turn besides the random AcQx, AcJx, AcTx, which would all probably not be betting the river in this scenario.
@@bigtimetimmyjim6486i agree. People keep relying on this "solver approved" play, but it doesn't make it correct in each situation. U take a table full of players who don't know how to play gto and the solver goes out the window. People want to use the solver to justify and confirm their play. It's the same thing when a woman asks "how does this clothing look?" They ain't asking to hear the truth, they only want confirmation it looks good on them.
@@brianfloyd2279 Exactly! I do believe solvers are extremely valuable, but moreso because of the fact that they teach the user HOW to think about range construction than their actual outputs. Just like with any tool, a solver's outputs are only as valuable as its inputs, and a solver that is using inputs that are not representative of a typical live player will not provide outputs of any practical value. Ironically, using solvers correctly can make one better at playing exploitatively, although this relies on the user constructing accurate ranges for said exploitable players.
@@bigtimetimmyjim6486 correct! When the solver says a specific hand should be played a certain way, let's A9os on the button with a HJ limper should always be a raise...I don't always play this hand. It's garbage in alot of spots. So if someone was playing gto against me then they'd have to eliminate this hand from my range in this particular situation, and they prolly won't. If this was a cash game I'd prolly play it with extreme caution. If in a tourney I'd fold because the player pool I play with has players that limp with AK, AQ, and AJ, and if I flop an ace they will check all the way down. On an uncoordinated board most would think the ace would be good because who limps a bigger ace from middle to late position when folded to? U can't make a straight or flush without four cards...it's only good if u flop too pair with the nine or make trips with the nine. Even if they have A2 to A8 u still have four cards on an unpaired board that can make two pair and beat u...so on ace high board there are eight different Ace X hands that beat u. So I put this hand in the bottom of my range. I am sure professionals and solver happy folks will say I am losing value by not playing it, but I keep myself out of tricky situations by not putting in money with it voluntarily. If I am in the blinds depending on action then I play it differently.
I played a similar hand with someone tonight; I had A10clubs vs JJ, he opens pre I call, he bets flop I call, he goes all in for 200 more on the turn. its 10 high flop all the way through. I told him I put him on AK and if he can beat my A10 he deserves it, I made the call and the river was another 10. I stacked him earlier with AK vs KKs.. its something about this eclipse that made inferior hands crush the best hands I think its. some sort of synchronicity dejavu with the double cat reference from the matrix its happening in real time. 10s been crushing souls lately. Just last month I lost massive pot against QQs for 3400+ I flopped a set he revered me. This week they have been taking me out of the hole. its crazy stuff.
That's the danger of betting small. Sometimes it's better to get them to fold. I know it's crazy to anticipate bad beats so it's a really tough situation
Im fine with that first hand fold since it seems like she thought she had the best hand and you picked up on that. It just happened to be incorrect in that exact situation
Re that tilting hand to close: it's reasonable to make an exploitative fold there, given the live dynamic that the game is about to break. Sure, he _could_ be exploiting exactly that dynamic, knowing that you're up big, but he's got a lot of history against you, and knows that you're a for-profit pro. He's less likely to run that bluff in that spot precisely _because_ he knows that you don't think like a recreational player... So if he's going to be value-heavy in that spot, you can happily overfold, and save that 2k. In fact, given how you described the overall game dynamic (more passive, more multi-way flops), I definitely think you could have folded your way to an even bigger night in a few spots.
i dont mind the 2 pair AK fold. She thought she was good. You read the strength. Unfortunate but not a very poor fold, Lex. Totally borderline either choice.
I probably would have folded the jacks. When it's towards the end of my sessions I'm playing very tight and only continuing with made hands more or less. There's no way you could have put him on 10's because he had absolutely no business being in the hand to the river. I'd be just as tilted as you because that's a brutal beat.
For this reason is why it's a fold. Rarely will someone make a huge bluff on the river when it's the last hand or so. And I think if the guy had Q9 of hearts and was bluffing missed hearts the bet would've been bigger, pot size or more at least.
Hey bro how many times did you see Quads in 3 months wheather it was the good or bad side of it. Me 3 1/2 month ran into Quads 23 times had Quads 5 times and folded before they hit Quads 5 times. Total of 33 times all in my local casino you talk about a downswing.
Last hand!!! That’s why you don’t bet small on the turn when it has so many draws…. If you do, you need to fold to the river big bet, or you can block bet the river and fold to a raise.
Please go play at Magic City Casino in miami. I've been to EVERY poker room in SoFlo and I've never seen so many fish. It's run down and falling apart but the action and amount of people there was by far the best in SoFlo imo.
First hand...You still just have a bluff catcher on the river. The fact that she decided to bet/fold (assuming) for such a big size is too bad. Key point in the hand I think is the huge turn lead. Seems to polarize the rest of the hand. Maybe best to keep it in perspective, if you hadnt seen her cards you likely would have been fine with the hand and moved on np. The river 2p is irrelevant...you still have a bluff catcher. 57 is basically the only hand she can bet for value that you beat with that line. Thanks for the vlogs!!!
Lex! Love the vlogs but you fell into the fancy play syndrome multiple times here. Just bet your strong hands! That 6 way pot is a must bet. A6 is a block bet all day! Really good session to study and learn from I think
Lex is probably the most likeable poker vlogger out there, which is why these videos are hard to watch sometimes. So glad I never took a shot at playing for a living.
Nice sun run. I would have folded JJ. Riv bet looked way too strong would have put him on a bigger set QQ or KK. When u reraise to 600 pre. He is not calling u with Q10 or KQ lmao. Pretty much narrows his range to big pockets or AK is the bottom of his range.
I like the filming coming from seat four five or six because I like to see the cards as they come out. We don’t see other players from the normal angles anyway and we can’t see the cards. I’m not sure why Vloggers don’t like to film from seat four five or six. It seems to be the best position for vlogging to me.
That last hand was definitely a call. Pocket 10s is just about the only logical hand that beats you. Q10 would've bet or raised on previous streets, and the queen on the river blocks that hand as well. But then you think, how can someone get to the river with pocket 10s. It was just that one in 1000 time that it happened. Crazy spot but good call imo.
I mean, the first hand, what are we calling with? Are we calling with a set? Or we're only calling/raising with a flush? I think having the king of clubs makes it a good candidate to call. When she leads turn, I see that as weak and she's trying to do exactly what she was doing, protecting a weak 2 pair. Generally a donk bet on the turn is not going to be the nut flush or even a flush at all, which is why I would almost always call in this spot.

Gotta call with AK w/ a club. You don’t have many better hands to call down with. Sometimes you gotta just pay
Agreed
Yeah pretty bad fold IMO. If you got me, you got me, you have a high club and beat all missed ace high flush draws.
disagree wholeheartedly. That 57 was probably the only possible combo that villain would valuebet that's worse, and they're never bluffing. the Kc blocking some flushes is not enough to make you call.

It absolutely kills me when you move the cards around. My dealer brain goes nuts.
For sure, I have dealt a ton in my life and I would snap if someone did that lol
Obviously he asked the dealer and she gave him the thumbs up.. he’s never rude at the table..
You deal cards for a living and in your free time you watch cards being Dealt😂
@@Matzes 😮
Sliding them so I have to put the turn/river on top of the shuffle grrrrr
One of your best videos! A little of everything. Dogs, beach, tilt, highs and lows. Nicely done
I can't believe the dealer let you move their flop. You're sitting out an orbit at least if you do that at my table.
Calm down, Francis. I am sure if the dealer had an issue with it, they would have let him know.
100% you had to call with your two pair! Sometimes just gotta pay the flush off…..
I couldn't fold the pocket jacks either. Love the videos lex
Same!
He bet so small on the turn it gave the guy a great price and if he thinks AK or a set is paying when/if he gets his straight then he has implied odds making it a clear call. Sometimes going for those extra few bucks cost us

5 sets on the day....I haven't had 5 sets in my last 5 sessions combined
I just flop sets.... and it feel so good
On my last session, 3 days ago, i had 2 royal flushes. Everybody at the table was like wtf😂
My last session i counted 42 pocket pairs dealt to me during a 12hr session and only made 2 sets 🤣 the math was not with me
And he played so poorly that not much money came from them haha. He plays like a little girl sometimes.
You have to call the two pair hand especially early in the session. You have the whole session to make it up.

great outro!! calling with jacks fine there. Ace of h suited or any busted flush draw makes it call
Always looking forward to watching your video!
On first hand, if you call turn you gotta call river. Your hand improved.
Damn lex. U gotta b giving us 2 videos a week, buddy. 1, not enough 👍

Losing
That wasn't exactly whining.
Trying to build pots is a double-edged sword.
Last hand I would've called but I was predicting A 10 but I wouldn't be able to fold. You got my sub.
also do you think if you bet 3/4 pot on the turn there that he folds?
Thank you for the post. It’s been a while.
Pocket Jacks hand. bet the flop big. Then he'd have folded and you'd know where you were at least.
At 7k proft the JJ hand let you get away cheap and up 5k on the night still which is huge
1ST time pausing and answering...i play lower stakes but when im this high up in my range of hands i get here with especially vs a good player I would call.
Love the vlog thanks !
Just watched it...ugly but still think a fold way too exploitable there.
Folding AK and betting small on turn backfired on connected board. It's why he stayed in with tens
Had the exact same situation today against Brad Owen in the MUG at Hard Rock...except I had K Q (no diamond)... hit two pair on the turn w the 3rd diamond Brad bet the pot on the river I folded...BUT he had the flush....
Love the vlog lex glad to see you back
Given the info on the guy … have to call and pray 🙏
When these games play bigger, a 3X BB doesn't force too many folds, it seems. Gotta open much larger. Maybe I'm incorrect.
just crazy session😅😅

Why is the card shuffler so close to the flop?
Re that tilting hand to close: it's reasonable to make an exploitative fold there, given the live dynamic that the game is about to break. Sure, he _could_ be exploiting exactly that dynamic, knowing that you're up big, but he's got a lot of history against you, and knows that you're a for-profit pro. He's less likely to run that bluff in that spot precisely _because_ he knows that you don't think like a recreational player...
So if he's going to be value-heavy in that spot, you can happily overfold, and save that 2k. In fact, given how you described the overall game dynamic (more passive, more multi-way flops), I definitely think you could have folded your way to an even bigger night in a few spots.
Umm, did you move the flop for a camera angle? Wow!
Fold JJ river at end, it sucks, but he literally could just have AT missed flush that came in.
i dont mind the 2 pair AK fold. She thought she was good. You read the strength. Unfortunate but not a very poor fold, Lex. Totally borderline either choice.
AK poor fold!
I probably would have folded the jacks. When it's towards the end of my sessions I'm playing very tight and only continuing with made hands more or less. There's no way you could have put him on 10's because he had absolutely no business being in the hand to the river. I'd be just as tilted as you because that's a brutal beat.
For this reason is why it's a fold. Rarely will someone make a huge bluff on the river when it's the last hand or so. And I think if the guy had Q9 of hearts and was bluffing missed hearts the bet would've been bigger, pot size or more at least.
Hey bro how many times did you see Quads in 3 months wheather it was the good or bad side of it.
Me 3 1/2 month ran into Quads 23 times had Quads 5 times and folded before they hit Quads 5 times.
Total of 33 times all in my local casino you talk about a downswing.
that first hand screamed AcX all day. Maybe even AcKx. Not surprised by run out, I don't think a flush would play that way
Last hand!!! That’s why you don’t bet small on the turn when it has so many draws…. If you do, you need to fold to the river big bet, or you can block bet the river and fold to a raise.
You should go for a $1,000,000 bankroll build back challenge! 😂
Love how you moved set 4s board to the left for better filming.....
Please go play at Magic City Casino in miami. I've been to EVERY poker room in SoFlo and I've never seen so many fish. It's run down and falling apart but the action and amount of people there was by far the best in SoFlo imo.
First hand...You still just have a bluff catcher on the river. The fact that she decided to bet/fold (assuming) for such a big size is too bad.
Key point in the hand I think is the huge turn lead. Seems to polarize the rest of the hand. Maybe best to keep it in perspective, if you hadnt seen her cards you likely would have been fine with the hand and moved on np. The river 2p is irrelevant...you still have a bluff catcher. 57 is basically the only hand she can bet for value that you beat with that line. Thanks for the vlogs!!!
Moving the flop on the second hand for the vid MIGHT be a tell
I was thinking the same thing , he was probably just doing it for the video though
I didnt know the players were allowed to touch the community cards, thats weird.
How are you allowed to touch the community cards???
I bought the casino so they allow me to move the flops now
Okay you seriously do have a tell on it. The second time that you touched the community cards you flopped bottom set on AQT rainbow.
💯 fold on the River lol dude you call too much think about that +- 2100 right there
Easy call top 2 pair
Lex! Love the vlogs but you fell into the fancy play syndrome multiple times here. Just bet your strong hands! That 6 way pot is a must bet. A6 is a block bet all day! Really good session to study and learn from I think
100 PERCENT FOLD the set of Jacks!!!!
On the 1st hand, overbet the turn, downsizing on the turn signaled weakness. Still might have been a tough call if the down bet was a value bet.
Back to basics Lexo, typically we lean towards a call on the first hands. Always keep people honest at the beginning of the game
Lex is probably the most likeable poker vlogger out there, which is why these videos are hard to watch sometimes. So glad I never took a shot at playing for a living.
I always say winning poker needs 2 essential, those are: skills + Luck. You got the skills, but last night you had a lack of luck!
Nice sun run. I would have folded JJ. Riv bet looked way too strong would have put him on a bigger set QQ or KK. When u reraise to 600 pre. He is not calling u with Q10 or KQ lmao. Pretty much narrows his range to big pockets or AK is the bottom of his range.
I like the filming coming from seat four five or six because I like to see the cards as they come out. We don’t see other players from the normal angles anyway and we can’t see the cards. I’m not sure why Vloggers don’t like to film from seat four five or six. It seems to be the best position for vlogging to me.
Less room between players and the camera doesn't show the villains
@@brianfloyd2279 yeah but, we never see the villains anyway except from the chest down.
Leading for $1k when you turn full house with 10s on that board…left some potential value on the table.
That last hand was brutal. Next time if possible, get video of the opponent so I can give a proper read.
A good session, where you were unlucky in a few spots and it could have easily been a 5 figure win.
Keep plugging away at that deficit
I raise my hand.
with the set of jiggities vs a bluffy opponent I would make the hero call here.
I’d call with the set of jacks
That last hand was definitely a call. Pocket 10s is just about the only logical hand that beats you. Q10 would've bet or raised on previous streets, and the queen on the river blocks that hand as well. But then you think, how can someone get to the river with pocket 10s. It was just that one in 1000 time that it happened. Crazy spot but good call imo.
I mean, the first hand, what are we calling with? Are we calling with a set? Or we're only calling/raising with a flush? I think having the king of clubs makes it a good candidate to call. When she leads turn, I see that as weak and she's trying to do exactly what she was doing, protecting a weak 2 pair. Generally a donk bet on the turn is not going to be the nut flush or even a flush at all, which is why I would almost always call in this spot.
Donk bets from recs is weak, typically its "price setting" for their marginal made hand
@@BallenX101 Yeah donk bets usually always get a calldown from me, and I'm like 90% right most of the time.
