Lex Veldhuis: "I just want freedom"
Lex Veldhuis has the job that everyone upstart poker streamer in the world wants, and he's willing to give it up for one thing: doing it the right way.

Yea I can’t blame him, good for him for doing what’s right for him, his family & career.A very valid decision. I support him being with the family.
Too bad the Netherlands banned poker.
I never followed him but wish him all the best with his upcoming journey.
I first assumed he'd give up his status with Pokerstars but that's also not the case. 😅
From what I understand it’s just the twitch partnership that’s ended as he was to stream on different platforms. Fintan (easywithaces) mentioned he brought up the same ideas with PS and PS told him not to break the twitch partnership, but that was years ago so maybe PS view has changed?He was playing very little the last month's I believe . Whenever I checked his twitch account it said the streamer streamed weeks ago . Anyway , apparently he focus nowadays on family , good luck to him with his new plans . Fans might be sad or angry , but it's his life , we must respect this . I guess his partnership with PokerStars will be also over???
Veldhuis is absent many days from twitch , I do not believe he streams or plays these days he doesn't stream . I believe he has given priority to his family . Maybe he lol stop playing at all ?? Who knows . His funs pay subscriptions on twitch and Veldhuis is bored to stream . That's the fact . Even before when he used to stream every week , many days of the week he wasn't streaming , . So ...... If he cannot stream because PS is not regulated on The nederlands , he should stop playing ...From what I understand it’s just the twitch partnership that’s ended as he was to stream on different platforms.

Yea I’m just going by what he’s been saying on the few more recent streams he’s done with the !dontsub thing, it’s how he explained it that he wants the freedom to stream on different platforms. Not sure if anything’s changed since around the time I posted this.Veldhuis is absent many days from twitch , I do not believe he streams or plays these days he doesn't stream .

I’m pretty sure he’s not retiring, just breaking his twitch partnership, at least that’s what he’s been saying on his stream.He definitely did a lot for poker, brought lots of new players and recs to the game. I hope he enjoys his retirement
