Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by KRANTZ (High Stakes)

I sadly didn't bring enough funny to the table in this one.

So here's something for y'all to keep you satiated between now and next week:

Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire, out on the lonesome prairie, each with the bravado for which cowboys are famous.

A night of tall tales commences.

The first says, "I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day, a bull got loose in the corral and gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground, by the horns, with my bare hands."

The second chimes in, "Why that's nothing. I was walking down the trail yesterday and a fifteen foot rattler slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off, and sucked the poison down in one gulp. And I'm still here today."

The third cowboy remained silent, slowly stirring the coals with his penis.

I wonder if the 2nd cowboy got some sweet snakeoil out of that there rattler.

At the beginning there is the 89s hand you raise UTG and get called by Crush And Kill.
When you make that third barrel on the river leaving yourself with 500 behind, if he shoves I assume you still fold despite getting ridiculus odds to call?

22:00, you say you can call with 66 for setvalue, however we just learned from sthief09 you definately don't have odds just to call for setvalue. So I assume you mean you can just call in position for setvalue + favorable boards? (nice calldown on the turn btw ). I assume you would fold OOP vs him?

Most important thing I learned is that I need to start slowrolling shortstacks

Very solid vid, can't wait for next week... It's like watching a tv-show and each week you can't wait for the next ep to air.

I definitely definitely fold if he jams - in that case he was just slowplaying the whole way, I'll never ever ever see a bluff there.

On the 66 hand - I can call for set value against what I thought was a tight player (my read on that changed shortly after, postflop) because if you notice, we're 125bb deep and not 100bb deep and there's already $330 in the pot. But yah, I'm not relying 100% on flopping a set since things change postflop and my read on him being tight can't be ironclad at all at that point. Would definitely fold OOP, I think.

glad ya liked!

another very very good video

sidenote, I will be incredibly disappointed if one of the challenges isn't you 2 HU vs each other(though I suspect its the last one) if it isn't there is plenty of time to get it scheduled

Sick call in the 66 hand. You read the situation perfectly and had the balls to follow through with it.

I didn't like the river VB in the 89s hand near the beginning. I don't think you're ahead >50% when called(or raised). Few worse pairs are possible even if he calls 77-55:

Board: Tc 8d 6h 4h 2s

equity win
Hand 0: 40.909% 36 { 98s }
Hand 1: 59.091% 52 { 99, 77, 55, ATs, KTs, QTs, JTs, T9s }

When you add the possibility that he's slowplaying(on a close to ideal slowplaying board), the bet looks ugly to me. Because the flop was T42(IIRC), there aren't many more worse pairs I could conceivably add to stretch his calling range since he was 23/18 and cold called your EP raise.

I agree with your post-hand analysis in the KQ hand vs. DMoogle. I like checking turn/folding to river bet because I think his range is just too tight to value bet profitably.

This series is easily the best videos I have seen in a very long time. Can't wait till next week again.

It's between this and Unconventional Wisdom for me, but DeucesCracked has really raised the bar.

Don't know if this "voice under" thing at the end of the videos is going to catch on, though.

Hey Jeff, I think my equity is slightly better against his range since I think I can potentially exclude AT and KT some of the time (theyd reraise pre or raise the flop, some of the time). I agree it's razor thin either way but even if we're looking at his range as you lay out, I think I still stand by the commentary in that I believe the meta-theory behind the bet makes the play preferable to checking, specifically at the beginning of the session. Well, so long as you make the correct adjustments if he calls and wins, if he calls and loses, or if he folds.

As you'll see in the next two episodes, I get under that guy's skin :-)

if the "voice under" thing is what i think you're talking about, it was just an error on our end production-wise and should be fixed by now i hope.

Another good vid.

Now post your PAHUD layout already!

There are a few free upload sites out there like megaupload.com, etc. Otherwise feel free to look up the email address on my account if you want to send it that way.

I haven't seen or figured out of DC Forums have a private message feature?

That's the one. I figured as much, I was just taking the piss.

I sent it to Entity to get up for people somewhere last night, so we should have it up today!

No PM feature planned, but once the forums are tweaked a bit more I'm sure we will talk about adding some more popular ones.

eye of the tiger lol...great vid
