Very good decisionmaking Lex. The moment you sit in a game that deep against other skilled players ,late at night and you start even thinking about racking up- its the correct move.
congrats on 200 vids!!! I always watch your channel, Ive learned alot from watching your style of play even though some would call u a NIT lol, I think you are TAG, look forward to the next 200 and since u booked a big win buy Rouge a steak dinner lbvs
luv the vids...keep em coming....i luv when u said ive been buying in deeper and deeper at these games and then say im not studied at deep stack poker...its kinda like an oxy moron
Mr. Lex.... I have been watching your CZcams channel since the beginning.... You strategies and intelligence you have for the NLH is outstanding... I try to base my play off of your strategies and do it the way you do it ...... but sometimes it doesn't work out that way ....... but nevertheless ....I would like you to know that you are my favorite player of all time..... your biggest fan ....... River Rat 🐀 .....
Jamming the AA is the right play out of position. You can easily catch a scary flop and either get bluffed or be forced to check it down. There is $4,000 in the middle already (that's more than 25% of your opponent's stack) and if he folds it's not a bad result. Even if he has KK, you are 80-20 which means on average you will win 60% of his stack. Here you can win nearly half of that without seeing a flop at all potentially. I think because your opponent has already committed more than 25% of his stack, he would make a huge mistake by folding to an all in preflop so shoving is the play. If your opponent is willing to put 25% of his stack preflop then fold to a reraise, he's got a major leak in his game IMO.
If you knew you had a big edge on the player with the AA hand and you think he’s never 5 betting without AA. Is there ever a chance you can rep kk or qq or aks and get him to have to fold the best hand? If you saw his hand isn’t that the optimal play ?
If you actually listen to all the professionals and experts they say the threshold is about 30%. Once you put in 30%ish of your stack, you should pretty much be going with it. 25% and fold is actually perfectly fine.
Lex O big fan! In the wrestling community as well we run deep brother always rooting for you hopefully some day i can meet you and we could play together.
no messing around here lex, i would have done the same thing and jammed with the aces. if he had kings and got lucky thats poker but knowing that u went all in with the best hand, is the best thing u could have done mentally.
My only thought process is that if you think they have Aces, while holding aces, then you call and try to bluff a set of Kings, Queens, 888s, etc. That's the only way, most of the time you'll be getting it in regardless, but at least leave some room for a bluff.
Moving to the st. pete area soon. As an amateur who has studied enough to be profitable in 1/2, any recs on where to play or advice as I begin a potential poker "career"?

I would jam. Getting fancy and flatting with AA there is way too suspicious and like you said if the board runs out badly, you’re deep enough you could get bluffed off the best hand
absolutely the AA vs AA hand is a six bet jam for you. He probably has AA but you don't know for sure so once you do the six bet he has to know you had AA and if he had KK or AK he would have to fold
I think it's always a call after a 5 bet there. A 6 bet just looks way too strong there. You prob only do that with AA in that spot giving a potential out to KK , QQ or maybe AK. By just calling and with a bit of luck for a good flop, the money is going in on the flop anyway. So no need to give him a spot to potentially hero fold KK or QQ or AK. Also, been meaning to ask. What breed is Rogue? 😍
Interesting spot in that AA-AA hand when you realize he has AA100% of the time. Since you know you chop if you jam there is no reason to jam, you should call and then try to put maneuver him in the run out. See if you can wait to jam on a Broadway card or 3suited cards. Would he just call anything at this point? Probably, but it is still higher EV than 100% chop. Super interesting to think about what to do in AA-AA. I’d probably jam to incase I’m not against AA anyway, that’s the easier option for sure.
On that 5bet hand, I prefer you just flat. No one ever is balanced in 5 and 6 betting, if you lay some traps it makes you harder to play against. When you 6bet jam it looks like 3 hands, black aces, red aces, or red and black aces lol.
Definitely would’ve jammed just as you did aces versus aces. However, I guess I’m more “chicken” than you are… I would’ve taken the CHOP over running it twice. 😅😅
Cuz how many hands do we see without most of, if not all the community cards....Poker vloggers don't show hands that end preflop without the run out. He knew it'd chop, but this allows him more content to show.
What is your 6bet bluff range? AK suited? Hardly possible. Unless you're super agro or your opponenet is completely incapable of folding I think we should be flatting against the 5bet. Against the average player Id strongly consider folding KK against a 6bet jam. The "what if its a bad board" is old man coffee logic. Thats poker, sometimes we're going to have hard decisions.
Congrats Lex on 200 Vlogs. You've grown a ton as a player and what a great cash-out for the 200th! Well done.

Congrats on 200 Vlogs!, can u share what apps u use to track poker records?
why not chop the aces vs aces hand vs running out two boards when more than likely it will be chopped any way?
Well done bro! 👊

Good stuff!
Congratulations on 2nd century bro!!!
I liked your video only because I couldn't love it. Congrats man on the big win!

Great video Lex do you coach?
With king queen of diamonds in the small blind, I think it’s OK to call the raise and see the flop. That hand plays pretty well Postflop.
Sitting home, bored I need to watch something meaningful on CZcams thank you lex
Nice. It’s Tuesday, get a job.
Agreed. Work.

I'll be there too...I won't be shaking hands. You guys just act like buddies ok!
Lex O big fan! In the wrestling community as well we run deep brother always rooting for you hopefully some day i can meet you and we could play together.
Nice 👍 I’m tryin to get that money too. My bank roll is shit though. Still 1/2 rec playing. Gotta keep the day job
I’m sure I would get quartered. Lol GL friend 😊
Wow, nice cash...😊
Well played with the KdQd 😂
Makes sense AA or KK or AK jamming all in is the play in a loose caller. No question
no messing around here lex, i would have done the same thing and jammed with the aces. if he had kings and got lucky thats poker but knowing that u went all in with the best hand, is the best thing u could have done mentally.
Do you tip and if so when (after each winning hand) and how much?
Woo!
My only thought process is that if you think they have Aces, while holding aces, then you call and try to bluff a set of Kings, Queens, 888s, etc. That's the only way, most of the time you'll be getting it in regardless, but at least leave some room for a bluff.
Moving to the st. pete area soon. As an amateur who has studied enough to be profitable in 1/2, any recs on where to play or advice as I begin a potential poker "career"?
Always jam lex always baby max value 🎉
In that AA vs AA hand will they just let you chop? Maybe at those stakes?
I've heard outside of Vegas gets softer during the WSOP.
Lex, since “cash out” is a two-word verb phrase, perhaps you should all-caps “out” in the title to have to match the all-capped “CASH”.
"BE WATER
THATS A SWEEEET TATTOO
would probably just call the five bet then jam flops. also would only run it once against aces, or just chop it pre
Lex, wow man wow
Always jam if you get reraised holding A A
Your buddy right here...Will give you $1000 for doing him a favour.
How often do you get aces every session?
$20,000 x 50 buy ins = 1million bankroll. You were playing 1/2 5years ago. Good job bro
the more confident u play the more aggressive u play, love it!
Like Raspberry, Grape, and Strawberry, I WOULD JAM.
If you knew you had a big edge on the player with the AA hand and you think he’s never 5 betting without AA. Is there ever a chance you can rep kk or qq or aks and get him to have to fold the best hand? If you saw his hand isn’t that the optimal play ?
AA vs AA, jamming is the right call. You should just have chopped. No need to waste time running it twise.
I would jam. Getting fancy and flatting with AA there is way too suspicious and like you said if the board runs out badly, you’re deep enough you could get bluffed off the best hand
absolutely the AA vs AA hand is a six bet jam for you. He probably has AA but you don't know for sure so once you do the six bet he has to know you had AA and if he had KK or AK he would have to fold

Also, been meaning to ask. What breed is Rogue? 😍
I’m the mush who loses same hand all-ins at an abnormal rate, so I would chop if possible. Completely understand why you’d run it twice for the vlog.
Why not just chop it if you both have aces? What’s the point of going twice?
Could get a flush on one board, which would give the winner 75% of the pot.
Or lose it all, dumb to not chop
NICE ENDING WITH TWO OF MANS BEST FRIENDS CRASHING IN THE CAR AFTER A HOT DAY AT THE BEACH
Would also jam, but would chop without running it twice. Why chance the flush suckout when you have no edge?
100% I would also have 6 bet all in out of position. I would have ran it once though.
great video Lex! do you ever play deep online? or just 1/2 for fun?
LEX O IS JUST AN OFF DUTY...COP.... JUST A COP

Lol, stop it at the moment you did not think he had aces 😂
What are those cards and how can I buy them
On that 5bet hand, I prefer you just flat. No one ever is balanced in 5 and 6 betting, if you lay some traps it makes you harder to play against. When you 6bet jam it looks like 3 hands, black aces, red aces, or red and black aces lol.
Lol 😂
First! Good Morning Lex, My Brother, How Are You?
running the AA twice seems douchey
Remember....These hands are... once a few hands
Here's All my grandparents MONEY I've never worked for.
Jam the Aces. Even if he folds, that's $3800 uncontested.
Lex, why did you want to run it twice instead of chopping preflop with aces? lmao
Definitely would’ve jammed just as you did aces versus aces. However, I guess I’m more “chicken” than you are… I would’ve taken the CHOP over running it twice. 😅😅
✅️
Can you explain the logic of not chopping the AA v. AA hand?
Cuz how many hands do we see without most of, if not all the community cards....Poker vloggers don't show hands that end preflop without the run out. He knew it'd chop, but this allows him more content to show.
15:20 JAM JAM
JAM

The "what if its a bad board" is old man coffee logic. Thats poker, sometimes we're going to have hard decisions.
Haha you fish 🎣
If you give yourself a rule of no bluffs for first 5 hands, you would log higher wins.
Why did you run Aces VS Aces twice? Last time I got Aces VS Aces, I ended up loosing on the river. It's not worth it seeing the board.
idk why when he offered to just chop it u said no i wanna run it twice?
