He gave every month's results except September and October, which he said were winning months, but I assume were small wins since he didnt list them like he did the others. His total without September and October was $137k, which includes losing $17k in December, so he was up over $150k going into the last month of the year. Add a few thousand more for September and October and Im guessing he made just over $140k.
@@Clockmngtmnt I mean idc if he won or lost, just wondering why he said he wasn’t going to get into the numbers and then immediately release his month to month income lmao
@@Stockholm_Syndromein the US it's taxed at twice the rate of normal income since it's considered self employment for tax purposes (meaning you have to cover the employer and employee contributions). Of course this is before write offs but still it's insane
@@zachevers2315oh ouch! Happily, my government has a tax deal with the US so if I ever visit, I will be able to recover the tax monies paid. Eventually.
Congrats on a successful year brother. You are still my fave for being so open and playing style. I always enjoy the uploads and learn a lot each time. Vegas looks awesome, bummer you didn't go so well this time. Wishing you the best of luck and run good this year. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Transparency is always a good thing. Especially if you want people to watch and inspire other people to play. Every other vlogger shows their results for obvious reasons.
yes. it is part of the journey. I am not going to track the results for him. Also, he is not vlogging every session. that means there are parts of the year that are missed. Part of putting your poker life on RU-vid for public consumption is to recognize you are creating interest in that poker life. The final results are a big part of that interest.@@sylvainguinepain5624
Lex, Happy New Year. Thanks for making the content. I think it's very valuable. There is absolutely no reason why you should be precise about your results. I couldn't agree more that it's basically just an ego trip that's totally unnecessary. Hope you have a great 2024. I am going to :)
Great vlog fam... way to keep "GRINDING" *ps, you're a f/n BEAST in the gym!!! Thanx for sharing a little part of your life with us!!! Stay the course 👏 👌 💪
I play a lot of low stakes poker $1-2 NL and would love to read your book. Can't wait till you have that out. Thanks for sharing your end of year rough estimate. I always love the Rampage and Owen's end of year how they did vlogs. Brad shows his Poker Tracker data for the year which I love ! I understand why you could feel uneasy about sharing that though. Really happy you had a great year. You put in the hard work and earned it. Thanks again for the vlogs.
HNY Lex ! I’ve watched you since your early days and think you’re a genuine person and hope you stay true to your roots and beliefs. I love watching your vlogs and wish you even greater success in 2024 😊👍
Nice intro Lex, no words, just beautiful scenery and Mother Nature. Our lives are so busy, sometimes we forget how blessed we are. There’s something therapeutic about going hiking or just being outside in nature away from the concrete jungle. Best of luck in 2024!
Thx for the scenic intro.. nice job winning some high stakes game in the year of 2023.. will be watching the hustler live and good luck in the year of 2024!! ✌️ peace
pretty disappointed in this. one i got click baited into watching for the year results. posting your results for me would be to see how much a full time poker player can make playing the midstakes. obviously its going to be different every year but a general idea would be nice.
Appreciate the content Lex! As an intermittent low stakes player, I’ve use content provided by you and others on RU-vid such as Brad Owen, Doug McCusker, Rampage, and the Hustler Casino Live and The Lodge streams to really utilize hand ranges in many spots allowing me to open up my game and increase aggressiveness when needed. I’ve learned a ton and look forward to more content! Thank You!
Hey Lex. Been watching since the beginning and haven’t missed a vlog and love your stuff. Saw the car purchase, very nice. How did I miss the motorcycle buy?
Lex, I’m a big fan of your videos however I feel this Clickbait headline to lure us in and then not disclosing your winnings was really poor taste. I hate to see you stoop to that.
Jack the Savior. Please do some vlogs about that competion. I really enjoy the offtopic once in a while. Its good to see u fuxkin beasting the gym while being good at poker. Happy new year
Keep it going Lex! Would love to play a 25 session with you at the hard rock if you’re ever interested or at the Creek or Harrah’s. Maybe play some Topgolf. I love watching your videos. It’s nice to hear from South Florida native like myself.
Man I hated Wynn too , nice room but ran bad , didn’t like the fisher price looking chips. Just all of it. But absolutely love Bellagio as well. Maybe we all love where we do the best 🤷🏻♂️. Thanks for another year of good vids Lex. Happy new year !
been watching u since 5k subs.. great to see you grow and all the hardwork payoff.. I dont even play poker.. Im a trader, but the mentality is so similar channels like these help me with my mindset.. hats off to you. God bless and heres to 24!
You had a winning year thats great to hear for us. No need to post results. Wish you all the best for the coming year, keep making great content and big money. Hopefully you’ll surpass 23 winnings in 24🤞keep rocking bro🎉
LEx, really like the vlog. You are in the top 5 vloggers, IMO. I disagree with your reasoning on not giving a $ amount for your year results, though. Much of your audience is invested in your journey and watch your work throughout the year,. You should inform us of your final results to give closure on the year, and help us be more invested n that journey. It is not bragging to say your results, when you are a vlogger. It is allowing your audience more insight into what you did through out the year.
Lex congrats. Great videos. Can you tell us about taxes as a pro player? and btw Lex what the hell is other player doing after the hand is over? with JJs.
Awesome year! Please VLOG your CrossFit competition I’m sure it will have several views and a good change of pace. Best of luck to you in 2024 and keep up with the poker vlogs.
Lex forgot the part where Jacks are still vulnerable on that board and middling pairs or hands like AQ could bink with 2 streets to go... But he calls to see a turn. (Just in case he needs to check the turn or bet fold the turn??) That's how he really "lost" an over $6k pot. Not bad luck (variance) on the turn. Poor play on the flip after he got raised to $800. DO NOT CALL. SHOVE. I play low stakes cash but on that 663 2 hearts flop? Imma putting HIM all in after being raised. Fuck it! Force HIM to tank & decide whether to call or fold his pocket 8's, 7's, or hands such as 9's or 10's or the flush draw. Cash Game Poker 101. (Lex put it all in anyway... so why not do it when you can put HIM in the blender on the flop?)
Real players that do this for a living know the total hours played and the hourly rate is actually helpful. Anything else is just ammunition for hater chatter. If you made 100k you either suck and should have made more or you suck and you’re lying. Either way it takes a lot for someone to put your life on display for anyone to criticize from behind a screen. From the beginning (knowing Lex personally) he has always been straight and deserves respect for all he has accomplished and all that he will. GL friend
😂🎉 Happy New Year 🎊 2024! Finally 2023 IS OVER and The BEST IS YET TO COME! My Guess Lex for your 2023 Winnings is 200K + or -! HOPEFULLY A BIG+! Keep it Rollin Lex O Poker! Paul in Pompano Beach 🏖️ FLORIDA 🌊 USA!
Probably didn't make a difference considering what your opponent had left behind but did the dealer make a mistake at 15:20? Looks like he put your 1350 in the pot and 1350+500 of your opponent.
The amount matters because you inspire people so that the community keeps growing second of all the amazing matters because poker it’s a profession and life is based on results
Lol! I wouldn’t give my results either! I was thinking to myself why would Brad, Rampage, Mariano give their results? IRS is watching! You keep it to your self! It’s know one’s business! Thank you for the vids! I wish you all the best in 2024!
