Yea, his interactions with Chad are irritating sometimes. I'm not here to defend that. But I find the critique over it too personal and gloating, like people are glad they finally have a reason to hate on him. Disregarding the things that speak favorably to his personality.
I'm not critizing you personally by the way, but the prevalent tone in this thread.

He deserves to lose becausehe keeps regging tourneys at last minute and re entering 3 times over and over, just hopingto get lucky and run up a stack cuz he cant play postflop then plays allin or fold over and over.
We covered that he's emotional I think, but that doesn't automatically make him a bad poker player.
The man has access to some of the best players in the world, and he is obviously not an idiot, so how likely really is it that he sucks? As I mentioned, I think some of his decisions are surprising but I'm not the one to judge high stakes tournaments. Or the people who coach him. (BenCB?)

What about that mtt where he was 8 handed and shoved k3 into KK, and flopped 33 on the flop? he ended up getting 2nd for over 10grand. Nice 10 thousand dollar suckout there, or what about the time he won the thrilla? he won with AQ to AK allin pre and 10s to QQ before the FT even wentoff. Thats another 40k+ his way. Same for that plo mtt he won 40k in.... the list goes on and on. You are brainwashed . You know what else is also lucky? Being abe to stream and make over 500 thousand dollars and have the biggest stream on twitch, while losing 200k playing poker. Thats LUCK but peiople like to watch trainwrecks and high poker games so they go to him.
I'm not saying he is unlucky at all, to be honest I don't watch him more than a couple of hours once or twice a week so I really don't know how exactly he is running.
If he makes 500k from streaming then that is due to his talent to build an audience around a very professional product/service. He is good at his job, I don't see how you can blame him for that as long as he is not hurting anyone. Which I don't think he does, as I explained in the post before.

I think he can handle his ego, at least he is self aware enough to realize and work on his shortcomings, and he does so in a very open manner. Not a lot of people could do that. So in that regard, I think we can all learn a lot from Lex.
That was kind of the whole point why I made the first post, I don't think this man deserves all the hatred he is getting. Critique is fine, but it should never be one sided and so personal.
