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.
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
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!!!!
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 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I've watched so many of your videos where you are up 2 or 3 thousand and then leave in the red, because you played until the end of your ""session"". If you left every time you were up $2500 you would probably have a lot better overall profit long term. And if that means you leave after 10 minutes of being there who cares if they say you hit and run. Unless content is your only goal, leave when you are up. Same as with casino gambling, the longer you play the less likely you are to leave with your money.
your hate of Europeans is coming through in your videos..I am a big fan of this vlog, from Europe, and those snide comments are just not cool..Brad or Mariano do not do that and they grow faster...after all poker is very popular in Europe and the market is rather big.
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.
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
I mostly agree with Lex’s line of thinking on this one, but before the hand was revealed, I thought this would be one of those times where I’d say “Well, I’m not good enough to fold this big a hand” and make a crying call.
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!
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 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.
@@jackspinner4727 How clear of a call it is on the river the first hand when he has AKo (with Kc). How poor of a check it is when he flops a set with 44 from late position with six! people in the hand.
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
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....
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!
not enough 10x combos. really a 10, q 10 (probably raising turn in some lines), 10's but should never get there tbh so hard to put him on. way too many bluffs definitely a good call just unfortunate result. well played overall
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.
Funny, I am pretty sure that I am one of the 8.5 out of 10 viewers who are thinking "Oh, you mean PHIL HELMUTH SYNDROME" as you are explaining "ENTITLEMENT TILT".
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 !!!
Lex, on that last hand? You would have heard from Q 10 on the flop. This is the guy that cracked your KK with 5-6 right? If I'm in your spot on that wet of a board and it turns a blank? Am putting that sombitch ALL IN. Dude, you gonna need to PAY LARGE to crack my set. He was only charged 1k and the further insult is you paid HIM off. Again. He definitely has your number. Just saying. I play much smaller Lex. The stakes you played when you started this vlog. I've watched you still making the same errors I still do but in my case: I'm a woman, not a pro, under-rolled, risk averse and "scared money". The "pros" have my number too!
Pocket 4’s hand… that was a great river, because it ended up saving you money. What could you do? Not play tricky. Fast play your strong hands and don’t give gut shots free cards. He called $100 pre flop with 63 offsuit. Note to self for future reference. If this player is willing to call for $100 with a hand like that… how much is he willing to call with a better dominated holding? Then, shortly after… you get dealt Aces AND you only raise to $100 right after seeing the player called $100 pre flop to beat you with 63 offsuit has already limped? Why are you playing a rote strategy when you can be exploiting the spot at the table who has already demonstrated he will play ANY 2 cards for $100? I kinda get why you called his check raise, but I don’t get why you paid off his jam. You must know how imbalanced (value heavy) his line to shove after you’ve called his check raise is… 🤦🏻
You really gotta chill dude. This happens to everybody. I had KK the other day and 3b! An mp open from 30 to 100 and he called with K9s. Flop came J 7 3 rainbow. I bet, he calls. Turn is a 10 completing full rainbow. I bet, he calls. River is an offsuit 8 and he leads for 330. You aren't the only one who loses with 90% equity.
That call on river with JJ was dreadful. Even though you know him it just seems like there is no bluff in that spot. Those dogs also need much more space than that baby apartment
You shot yourself in the foot. I don't know what you're thinking with your bet sizing! Your flop sizing should be based largely on how wet the board is. Both with the tens and jacks, the flop is 3 Broadway cards. You have bottom set both times; meaning you unblock top and second pairs, along with the straights and straight draws. You should be going AT LEAST 1/3 if not half pot here. You bet your HAND, not your range. Also, you should have absolutely been going for value with the A6. Your opponent obviously has a reasonably strong ace there. They would've bet a big heart on the flop. They were pot controlling for sure there. It seems that your run-bad is really affecting your decision making. Maybe take some time off.
No hard feelings Bro, that's the variance of the game.. You'll always have idiots overplaying hands (7-5) in the beginning... or the ones getting lucky, like the guy on the last hand (10-10).. although the last hand was rather a fold than a call... 😆
Flopping at least 5 sets and making nuts almost every hand, seeing AA, KK, AKs don’t know how many times and then tilted because you made a bad call with JJ??? Hilarious 😅😑 Generally I like your vlogs, but after the run you had in a session like that you cannot be tilted man 😂🤦🏼♂️
River fold is fine at the start, especially if you don't know your opponent. Only problem is the turn play. If you're calling only to fold that river there's an argument for folding the turn... likewise the argument for calling that river having decided to play through. Kinda having a little gamble on the turn there hoping to improve or see a cheap showdown
Folding top 2 was bad getting better than 2-1....really thought exactly the hand she had 5/7h was reasonably in play.... and I really don't like the under bet of $600 on the turn with the set of jacks... should have been more of a value bet in the $1200 range and he would have folded those 10's, but called with losers like 2 pair or hands like AQ etc.. Love the content and the honesty... keep it up.
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.
Fold JJ. You have a 100% chance of winning 7k . You have some unknown % of winning 11k and you have some % of only winning like $4500. The worst thing to do is play until a certain time. Just quit when you start counting your profit and watching the clock.
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.
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.
Set of jacks need protection on that board, so your real mistake was betting less than 1/3 pot on flop and less than 1/2 pot on turn. Fold the river as your literally say yourself “I don’t want him to fold a10 or k10 on turn”. You got your wish he didn’t even fold 10s! (He’s clearly a scrub)
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.
I would definitely place a stopping bet OTR like 35% pot. To get called by 2p TPGK than if I got shoved . . Up to history and flow of the game and teeelĺzzz
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.
I would flick in the call. In a 3 bet pot he doesn't have that many Tx, eg is not calling pre with KTo. I count at the most 10 combos of Tx. That said, it is hard for him to be bluffing. He would have to be turning something like A8h or 99 into a bluff.
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 don't like the turn sizing on the JJ hand. You're worried about getting a hero fold from AQ versus a guy who ended up calling your downbet with TT. Yes, you had some run bad, but your bet sizing is not maximizing against a player pool that is going to call wider than they should.
I think I make a crying call with AK..... She really value cut herself betting middle two pair like that. What is she hoping to get a call from? AQ with A of clubs that C bet the flop? Everything else has her beat or doesn't make sense.
Lex flex.... Man you need to get a hobby.. you are trying to hard my boy.. get a wife and don't let her gamble.. your focus is money making and that's the problem. You have to let God and a woman into the mix.. not no rooty-poo gay stuff either.. just trust the processes.. build your life with God and a woman. It's the only way to go.. you're flying solo rexkwondo
Last hand I just fold there. Protect my profit and just sigh fold as much as I hate folding sets I wouldn't want to risk 2k profit I battled so hard for right before leaving. I've done this before personally and sometimes I was right and sometimes I was wrong.
over thinking too early. AK is AK, you have made worse calls with worse cards before, but you're going to win according to Title, so what do I know. Good Luck
Bro! Stop folding the top of your range! That goes to the ak hand and to the last hand with jj. I dont think you cab hero fold jj there it's a losing play and besides you played the turn very passively, your bet was way to small in my opinion, you wanna charge all those hand who has a pair and a drow - I would have bet like 1200 to 1350 but keep in mind your small size bet conveys weakness So there is a big chance there he picked up on it and trying to bluff you out of a weak top pair hand so the you played it I feel like you gotta call there. To sum up - bro stop over thinking, play the game and don't fold the top of your range.
After betting small on the turn I guess u can get away from JJ cuz he can def have KT, AT, TT or something weird containing a T. If you would have bet big on the turn I would 100% call the river as he shouldn't have to many straights there
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
Overall great video, you could have played the sets differently on each of your sets! I think slow playing the sets is not a great idea! If they have no hand be it...but letting them get a FREE turn and cheap River to get straight!! if they don't make anything they will simply fold so you will not make anything so it is rather a great idea to start betting from the flop and big bet on the turn. You may have won those 2 hands....but cheap bets kind of give them wrong signals showing no strength without nuts...is a RISK
That last hand is soooo tilting. You did everything right to win the MAX. Bet small on the turn to keep his shitty drawing hands in there. You just ciukdnt fad the 4 outter. Gross man. Tilted for you. Dodge that river and check, he definitely bluffs and you make over 10k in this session
Entitlement tilt ???? I always feel like that every time I have a losing session... I just never knew it was called " Entitlement tilt " Your fan.. River Rat 🐀
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!
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.
You showed up Late and were not ready to play! And that is why you made a Bad Nitty Fold,and this hand got into your head and influenced how you played the rest of the cession ! Plus, Typical pro move of try looking good making a great fold rather than winning the hand! Trying to look smart and wind up looking dumb!
Sorry it happend but it was not entitlement you Def should have won tht pot...tht guy should have never stuck around after turn...there all kind of 2 pair combos u beating
That AK has to be a call there, you K eliminates flush combos she could have, and she could easily be going for value thinking you spiked top pair on the river, you won’t show up with many better hands
I think you just have to pay them off with top two, as they could be overplaying a worse two pair. as far as the last hand, you have to call there. Pocket just makes no sense. However, I think a big bet on the turn would have gotten him to fold. But then again, you wanted that action. Just didn’t want that river. 😜
After you flop 3 jacks on very wet board , you shouldn't be betting that small on flop and turn ...you let him get there with easy...bet big on flop and big on turn, he will fold on the turn and won't see the river...easy to talk after the hand, but the board was very connected to bet small
