Love ya lex. You gotta snap fold that 910 though buddy. Those implied odds hands go way down in value when short stacked. You want high card blockers or pairs in that spot. Save the 1.5bb for your small blind and then have an orbit of free hands.
This is my home casino for horse racing.... Come back again & I'll give you my opinion for the Rebel Stakes this Sat.... I scored with Sierra Leone in the Risen Star last week. Nice hands... Good luck!
Fun vlog. Can't believe you got folds 4 straight times on All-in. You've come a long, long way from "Nits-O-Poker". You have learned to pull the trigger with little or no fear. Great evolution.
Nice run, well-played. One question: why do you (and all the other youtube pros) compare your stack size to the big blind instead of the total cost of an orbit?
The guy that smooth called with KK, is lucky. That's just too risky, when you have so few chips. He's not folding, but he really shouldn't give you that opportunity.
No way, Lex. You have a dog named River. I do, too. I also live in Florida and play poker, but I went broke two years ago. I feel like this is an omen, and I felt our spirits connect from afar. Keep up the good work brother! :)
@@lex4665 I could have taken this reply in a manner that you are an asshole lol but you have encouraged me brother. I’ve been down in the dumps for these past two years. Life has put me in a crazy place, living with 11 people in a 3BR house, and I am the only white person. I need to get back up.
How to get to the final table 1)You must play well. 2)You must run well. 3)You must win your big favorites. 4)You must suck out a few times. The first one is the only one that you have control over It takes lot of skill and patience to put yourself in a position to benefit from luck (good or bad). Lots of ways to squander good luck and you go leverage skill/experience to navigate or survive a bit of bad luck.
if you watch the hand you busted out on, the guys hands were super shaky. I knew he had a monster. I could tell how he was trying to hide his shakes by shuffling and his posturing. I couldn't even see all of him but I knew he had a monster.
What is a fodeing type? Is it the same as when you do or don’t hode? For a guy that’s name starts with an L it’s bananas how much he doesn’t know when words have an L in them.
Lex, you've had such a bad run of luck recently. I'm curious about how you find the stamina and the courage to keep going. I know the game can be fickle. Do you ever "secretly" wonder if maybe the risks outweigh the potential gains? How do you prevent falling down the rabbit hole, so to speak. (I don't mean the question disrespectfully - I'm not trying to cast bad mojo your way. I'm just a fan, not a pro poker player). (P.S. my ID is not related to you - my name's Lex, too.)
Nice run in a big time tournament. You're clearly improving. I have a complaint about the narration. You frequently switch from chips to big blinds in the same sentence, making it hard to follow. Also, you don't say how much a big blind is at the start of the hand, so we don't know how it relates to the previous situation. For example, after one hand, I think you said "I started the hand with 9 big blinds, but now I have 125,000 chips". Is that 10 big blinds? 17 big blinds? How many chips did you start the hand with? There were several times (I think about six) when we just didn't have quite enough info to follow. I do like your vlogs, so I hope you can accept this as constructive criticism
I’ve been watching for a long time and I love your content but the first few hands I watched I almost puked. Some time working with Wiz for MTT’s would help you for sure Also, as a cash game player I don’t see why you aren’t buying in early when you’re deeper. That is a huge advantage for cash players. Tourney players can play 10-40bb’s with their eyes closed
So Sad! You know what NFL stands for? Not For Long if you keep making Bullshit calls like that! Not sure Mr Clanville was talking about River calls but Whatever. Think Chiefs got very lucky. Redskins for life.
WoW! That A-Q runout was a dream come true. Could not have been any better.
Well done, Lex!!! 💪
Great vlogger, and you seem like a good fella. Keep up the great play and continue of the good luck.
That seemed like fun, way to go Lex! Pura Vida from Costa Rica!
Love the KK all in move....I would have done the same because I play KK just like its AA....Great job !
Man....WAY too many times I have hands like that AQ and just get crushed, glad to see the run good flowing man, keep the vids coming!
Love ya lex. You gotta snap fold that 910 though buddy. Those implied odds hands go way down in value when short stacked. You want high card blockers or pairs in that spot. Save the 1.5bb for your small blind and then have an orbit of free hands.
AQ was so lucky. Nice tournament
Lets goooo LEX! Cant wait for Vegas next month myself! :D
This is my home casino for horse racing.... Come back again & I'll give you my opinion for the Rebel Stakes this Sat.... I scored with Sierra Leone in the Risen Star last week. Nice hands... Good luck!
Great run Lex ! You’ll get a top ten finish before long , I’m sure of that 😊👍
To form a facing 13bb button jam is a fist pump call I think so good call.. Gg and on to the next one
Mr. Lex
That was a good deep run you did.....
Your fan...
River Rat 🐀
It's the start of your upswing !!!!
Nicely done.
Fun vlog. Can't believe you got folds 4 straight times on All-in. You've come a long, long way from "Nits-O-Poker". You have learned to pull the trigger with little or no fear. Great evolution.
Heading out to Miami at the end of the month! Hope to see you and play with you! Good luck in the meantime !
Great blog as always. Two.words of suggestion: Crate training
Great content bro .
That AQ hand was crazy XD
Nice run.
Can't wait for the next vlog!! Do you study? How long u been playing?
good to see you have 2 dogs now ( always better to have more than one👍🏻🐕)
please vlog more tournies thoroughly enjoyed
AQ man always good to win in those spots. The same way other players suck out when you have the better hand
Let's Go!!!!
Lex O, tournament crusher...😊
Thank you, Lex
Better luck next time😊 u still did well
Aq ftw hell yeah
For once pocket Kings was someone else's ACE magnet
LEX GO!!!!
✅
Nice run, well-played. One question: why do you (and all the other youtube pros) compare your stack size to the big blind instead of the total cost of an orbit?
Because most of the hand charts and poker theory nowadays is based on big blinds rather than M.
GL at TCH las colinas tonight 🎉
If you look at the computer sb flatting range is a bunch of Kx and Qx suited, the weaker ones you wouldnt expect.
keep grinding nice cash in right direction love the two dogs now
Playing tournament is very hard 😮 but you survived ❤
The guy that smooth called with KK, is lucky. That's just too risky, when you have so few chips. He's not folding, but he really shouldn't give you that opportunity.
Lex, when is next Hardrock in Hollywood session happening? I'm there all weekend!!
When did ya get the new pup Lex?
No way, Lex. You have a dog named River. I do, too. I also live in Florida and play poker, but I went broke two years ago. I feel like this is an omen, and I felt our spirits connect from afar. Keep up the good work brother! :)
Bro I go broke every month. Get back in there and keep the dream alive.

Not at all man. I meant it from a good place. It’s way too easy to get down on ourselves. Dig deep and pull yourself out. You got this man. 💪
That’s the Isle
How to get to the final table
1)You must play well.
2)You must run well.
3)You must win your big favorites.
4)You must suck out a few times.
The first one is the only one that you have control over

Random question… how do you decide which words to capitalize in the title?
Lex Ozias? I don't think I knew that :)
I think if your short in a tournament it’s better to fold these suted connected middle cards. They work better if you have a big stack
That 10.9 was a set up.
if you watch the hand you busted out on, the guys hands were super shaky. I knew he had a monster. I could tell how he was trying to hide his shakes by shuffling and his posturing. I couldn't even see all of him but I knew he had a monster.
Hand shakiness isn't a reliable tell. Don't rely on that.
Lex Airball?
U do looked like a wrestler man
What is a fodeing type? Is it the same as when you do or don’t hode? For a guy that’s name starts with an L it’s bananas how much he doesn’t know when words have an L in them.
Does tournament money get taxed ?
Yes, but only winnings. I think Lex won more than he spent to buy in to tournaments last year, so he'll probably pay some taxes.
I know the guy in the one seat at 13:30. He’s from colo
17:45 that duck is invasive. River should have ended it
2nd
Good video Bro! You should come out and play the WPT in March!
“You know how I know you’re gay?”😂
Does Harrah's in Florida rip you off for $20.00 parking like they do in AC?
First
Fold A10
Publix will take over the world

My boy McDonald’s thou cmon I thought u we’re healthy gross lol cmon my boy doing good in poker thou keep it up McDonald’s no no
You being able to name Taylor Swift songs makes you a young-in......LOL
Lex time to man up, more football, less TSwift
There are no twos in poker, they are deuces!!!
I was there that day! Won $800 on Ultimate Texas Holdem… congrats on making the $ Lex
I’ve been watching for a long time and I love your content but the first few hands I watched I almost puked. Some time working with Wiz for MTT’s would help you for sure

12:11
4.5% chasers hitting their river … hero goes from dreamin’ to steamin’ … that’s poker but i hate it
Man those cards are grotesquely ugly
Don’t get into football…it just leads to more emotional damage 😭
Admitting that about Taylor Swift songs is not a good look lol
Ahhh.... I'm sure there are a few questionable things in your life to my friend.
@GodBlessHomelessVets questionable things in everyone life but being a Taylor Swift fan tops them all 🤷♂️
1989 is a really good record.
Taylor Swift supports Biden, Kelce is a paid and bought stooge for Pfizer. Lex is a moron.
Hey Lex, wanna know how I know you’re gay?
You know more Swifty Titles than football players 😂😂😂
Jk Jk Jk just shake it off.
I don’t think lex is very good at poker
So Sad! You know what NFL stands for? Not For Long if you keep making Bullshit calls like that! Not sure Mr Clanville was talking about River calls but Whatever. Think Chiefs got very lucky. Redskins for life.
Lex will never get a gig as a hand model. His palms are nasty with calluses and peeling skin. Buy some hand cream brotherman.
It’s from deadlifting. Wear the calluses with pride Lex
@@mal9231 that makes sense
Terrible look on the swift anecdote. Unsubscribe
The outro was really annoying and unnecessary. You don’t like football ok who cares? You’re a Taylor Swift fan.. ok even worse but again WHO CARES.
Exactly and nobody wants to see a grown ass man living by himself and owning two stupid dogs. He's worse than a cat lady.
