Jay Rosenkrantz

I am known by many monikers in the online poker world, most notably KRANTZ on 2p2 (where I am moderator of the HSNL strategy forum) and pr1nnyraid (which some might refer to as my "legendary" Full Tilt screenname :)). My friends call me Jay or Krantz. I’m currently 27 years old.

Before DeucesCracked, I started a private poker coaching website called 3-bet.net, a forerunner to today’s online poker training sites. With the help of my other co-founders here, we took our vision of an interactive poker training community and brought it to life in late 2007. My role here has been as both founder and creative director, overseeing the production, growth and direction of our content library over the past three years.

I’ve been a poker player for a long time. Rounders was an inspiration and I quickly graduated from cafeteria card games in junior high to sneaking into Atlantic City casinos and grinding 5/10 limit holdem in my late teens. I’d work any job I could to support my obsession with the game -- I was at times a waiter, mousepad cutter, tent cleaner, freelance writer, legal assistant and gas pumper.

While I was in film school at Boston University I discovered online poker and 2p2, which is where I honed my skills discussing strategies with many of today’s greatest online players. My most highly regarded successes came in 2006-2009, where I made millions of dollars against some of the toughest players alive in the highest stakes shorthanded no limit games on the planet. I’ve done a large volume of training videos on DC, but perhaps my most popular have been the pr1nnyraiding series (with WiltOnTilt), considered to be must-watch videos for the aspiring heads up no limit player.

In addition to poker and DeucesCracked, I am a writer and producer. Most of my projects so far have been related to poker, including the documentary series From Busto to Robusto and the G4 reality television show 2 Months 2 Million. I am currently executive producing BOOM, a feature film about the evolution of poker and the online poker boom. I am also the co-creator and screenwriter of The Micros, an animated web comedy about the poker world sponsored by Full Tilt.

These days I play poker part-time when I’m not busy telling people to watch LOST or The Wire. Which, if you haven’t seen... YOU SHOULD!
