World Series of Poker 2009 - Lex Veldhuis crushing the table - Part 2

[Jaredplaysdrumz]

major tilt factor call for cunningham

[jamesabrook]

@Jaredplaysdrumz That was the best spot he had all day, absolutely card dead.

[ciaonegra]

i always hope to find PART3 everytime i type LEX CRUSHING!

[Donneah]

@Qwiwe How can the guy slowroll him? Lex didn't even call his raise.

[sydneymassive]

He keeps getting the perfect cards at the perfect time to continue his bluffs.

[FloNWfan21]

stupid fold with QQ

[Alephify]

bunch of weak players... easy to bluff... put lex on a table with dwan, ivey or isildur and see what happens

[Legenden81]

@Alephify Actually it's the other way around. These are legit players and no donks.. dwan and isildur play more fishy and it's harder to do these things.

[VicenzoV]

These videos also kind of prove that Eli, well, is sort of a douche...

[toby0cooper]

I remember watching this video about a year ago and thinking that Lex is a fantastic player. Now, however, I think that he was simply getting lucky in these situations by the board getting scary. He begins each of these bluffs in very bad spots but disaster cards come on the turn and river which allow his bluffs to succeed. He certainly has talent and a great work ethic, but his reads are slightly off, not in the same league as Durr (his style compatriot)

[gutleber]

DON´T SHOW ANOTHER BLUFF STOP IT!

[AllwaysFreak]

Does someone know when is Lex Veldhuis born ?

[dh144498]

the last clip where he folded his 2 pair is pretty sick.

[godu1111]

@dh144498

I have to disagree.

Lex bex the river and got minraised which is a move that indicates strength. Anyone that knows anything about poker wouldnt raise there with a hand that could be beaten by A5.

[butters226]

his style of play gives me a raging boner

[Be4TinGyoU]

Muenz got butt fucked so hard he should just put on a gimp suit already, horrible fish!

[smokethis100]

the guy who folded the queens is a retard

[CalvinRMS]

@smokethis100 just good play by Lex ;)

[ivovanschagen]

Why isn't there a part three? And a part four? And a..

Holland rulez!

[laistar]

wish Lex was this dominant on hsp

[lSomeRandomGuyl]

the guy who folded the queens was a fuckin moron

[pikajojo2]

Eli Elezra jealous not because Lex pulls out more than3 successful bluffs, he is jealous because Lex is able to outplay his opponents more than 3 times.

[aieljose]

Yes veldhuis play his hand well but they first guy played his hand like shit.

[tedwilli9]

lex is EASILY the best DAY ONE player on the planet!!! Too bad he didn't cash, as those moves are overused (and actually, somewhat obvious) in deep stack tourneys. Eventually people (like a Hellmuth) will just wait to set enormous traps. With that said, I think Lex is a beyond good MTT player, who will likely win a bracelet or two, possibly more given his youth and talent. Though, I wish his attitude was a little more congenial. Then again, he dips his wiener in Evelyn Ng every night...

[ggnub100]

lol at 2:53 lex looks at elezra like... "wtf u say bitch?" lol

[ggnub100]

lol @ elezra 1:18

[Furthermore23]

67 flopped two pair and no raise? 1010 and he didnt raise? QQ FOLD IN THAT BOARD? just for the equity man he shouldn't fold that 70% QQ would be favorite

[polk7777777]

dont know what u guys see in lex, hes a huge moron imo...the 64 hand was a terrible play and that kind of shit donk betting would not have worked against a decent player... the k4 call was even more terrible and in 9/10 cases he is crushed in that spot. he just got lucky that guy decidet to make that move with 67. then he had kk against cunningham, wow, great play lol and the a5 laydown is so standard against a river minraise from a donk. lex just sucks.

[Teuns]

@polk7777777 Uhm, ofc the 64 wouldnt have worked against a decent player with QQ, and Lex knows that. Lex wont play the 64 that way against a decent player, the guy is just an amateur and a rly bad player that didnt want to fail at a tv table and wanted to stay as long as possible becuz of endorsement deals. He never claimed the KK was wp'ed, std. The K4 was a good call becuz its a great spot for Munz to rep a monster, a player like him, prty short and with good skilz recognizes that spot.

[PAKIJIMI]

@polk7777777 well the 64 represented an 8 which was good. k4 call he knew he was trying to bluff him, a5 laydown was actually really good. and what is your name ill check your stats lets see how good u are. clearly the guy is really talented. ur just a tight player that hates that style cos u dont have the nuts for it. that is all

[asdffdsafdsa123]

@polk7777777 no lex is obv not crushed 9/10,he would know better than u not only becuz hes been playing longer,at higher stakes,and won more than u,but also becuz he was at the table and he knows how ppl have been playing.he obv decided muenz would be bluffing that spot often enough to make the call.in ur games u might be crushed 9/10 if sum1 does that on ur table,but u dont know wuts happened on lex's. but yeah it was a terrible call with k4...hes coinflipping or dominated by anything but 45

[ggnub100]

elezra woulda flopped trip tens lol

[arbao56]

I bet the black guy would beat him up if he says another word

[Mugsi]

Because he's black?

[Furthermore23]

what a bad play with QQ why he didn't reraise in the flop?

[zombiekid16]

lol u better be careful not to wake up the donkeys, mate, u just got owned, lool.

[stevesport1]

its easy to play like Lex when your surrounded by legitimate players....try doing that in a $5 or $10 MTT you'll be one of the donks gone in the first 10 minutes

[Gselzwurschtbrot]

right. the reason why it's working is that he scares the other players with huge value bets. they dont want to lose their buy in of 10k $

[talamerto]

@stevesport1 l2p and gtfo

[daddyicy]

@stevesport1 ya I always say it is easier to play good solid players than donkeys because they fold, and the game runs smooth.

[lintownboy]

@stevesport1 yea and he knows that..

[whobegotyou2009]

@stevesport1 that is an excellent comment. Very Very true

[aieljose]

@stevesport1 This is true.

[papichulobumber1]

@stevesport1

So? poker is about playing the opponents, its obvious you cant play like that on low level buyins/micro limits. And no, it isnt easy to play like that on a legitimate table, it takes courage, insight on how players play and disregard for the buy-in. Frankly I think its to dangerous to play like that, but it isnt easy by a longshot.

[R088O]

@stevesport1 So true. I watch these videos and time and time again, I see big hands folded that people would usually call me down without a thought in their brain to fold. I love playing the board and the opponent in poker, tough with low stakes

[sendmenosigns]

@stevesport1 ur statement holds no water. for lex thats like saying "try doing that with fake $". people dont play "right" until they cross the threshold where the stakes become meaningful enough to play with a proper sane strategy. people who stand to lose $10 might call all in on a wet board with an under pair and fold 99% of the time with $100 invested. obv the threshold varies but $10 isnt alot to most people. too many donks that dont fold play $10MTT. lex wouldnt try to beat em with bluffs.

[stevesport1]

@sendmenosigns well said. I agree wholeheartedly.

[brodyunderscorezagar]

@stevesport1 this comment is just painfull. So it should be easy to run bluff after bluff at a 6max table with ivey, durrrr, antonious, OmgClayAiken and urindanger?

Easy game!!!

[stevesport1]

@brodyunderscorezagar I wrote that comment over a year ago. I'm embarrassed when I look back at it.

[toby0cooper]

@stevesport1 It's actually a good comment. You cannot bluff $5 or $10 players because they do not think particularly hard about hand ranges and often hold on to any piece of the board that they can catch. You can successfully bluff any poker professional because they actually think about your cards rather than theirs. The top players can be pushed off big hands. Having said this, Lex would get crushed on the table brody said, his bluffs work here because players don't have enough heart

[EasyGameFR]

@toby0cooper You cannot bluff calling stations because they do not fold and you cannot bluff good players because they will read you most of the time. The guys you can bluff often are the guys in the middle who play tight and always put you on the nuts

[toby0cooper]

@EasyGameFR Well yeah, obviously bluffing a calling station is a losing strategy and bluffing a rock is a winning strategy. But so long as you tell a good story you can often bluff good players if your reads on them are right. I wouldn't dare bluff players in the $5 and $10 games I started in, but it's definitely a legitimate move in the $200 games I now do. The players are good enough to fold there.

[ciaonegra]

@stevesport1 SHUDDUP!

[Gselzwurschtbrot]

that veldhuis is courageous

[IPAWNMYQUEENS]

yeah veldhuis is great.. and what is elezra for a slimer saying cunningham is good everyone knows that..

[postflopper]

im sorry, u just play painfully obvious. HAHAHA.
