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

No because PTR isn't all that accurate the vast majority of the time, and the things that are currently going on at the table far outweigh what that crackpot site has to say

Lol @ rather having no info than knowning his general tendencies over 200k hands this year.

Obviously it is good for little other than a general idea, but Id rather have that than nothing every time. What makes it a 'crackpot site', btw?

What's to LOL @ friend? Pretty sure all I did was answer your question, "Do you make it a habit when at a table of unknowns, to check them out on PTR". I do not.

Also, so what if PTR has 200k hands on him? People get better (and worse) all the time, and everyone's game is in a constant state of flux, not to mention people change emotionally as well. So I don't necessarily think it's that relevant. I can get just as good of an idea and build reads based on what I see from him currently. I can obtain fresh good information now. I'm not saying you shouldn't grab yourself some popcorn, load up every table you're thinking about sitting at and write an anthology of how your opponents played yesterday, last week, or during a snowstorm on a rocketship 7.5 months ago. That's all fine and dandy I'll steady my course without it.

I say it's a crackpot site because its primary function is flawed and inconsistent. It's just not my style.

Didnt mean to set you off dude.

It takes me about 2 min to check all the unknowns at my table. I note winrate and sample size, and if they are generally tight or loose and passive or aggressive.

No anthologies, no deep reads. I like it and it works for me, and I don't see the point in ignoring info that is instantly available. It is simply a stop gap until I have real reads on people.

I'm not set off I'm always this colorful hehe. I guess I could counter the 2 min to check winrate/sample type stuff w/how many tables they are on and their stack size. Same principal though not exactly the same, and HUD will let you know pretty quickly whether or not they are aggressive or passive, tight or loose.

Not to mention that PTR is against FTP TOS and they could potentially take your roll (not sure this has ever really happened but I stray away from risk like that even if it's minimal). To each his own Apologies if I came off as heated though, I'm just passionate.

What is the video-- Jay's worst-- that he refers to? Just curious. I suppose I should skip that one.

"Butt-off or cutton". Epic slip of the tongue
I love the series so far. Hope it's going to continue being this good.

It's one in the Lightsabers series, you'll be able to tell by the comments :-)

regarding the T9o hand in the beginning: you say you have about 27 to 30% equity against a reasonable calling range. can you please specify his calling range?

Board: 8c 9d 5d
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 26.412% 26.19% 00.22% 6741 57.50 { Th9c }
Hand 1: 73.588% 73.36% 00.22% 18884 57.50 { AcAd, KcKd, 99-88, 55, AdQd, AdJd, AdTd, A9s, Ad8d, KdQd, KdJd, KdTd, QdJd, QdTd, JdTd, 98s, 8d7d, 7c6c, 7d6d }

I did this quickly (so I may have made an error), and kind of worst case scenario. You can play with pokerstove and add/remove pieces and portions and like Krantz said in the vid, check out ranges of ranges and see how it changes In this version I sprinkled in a combo each of AA and KK, which he may not have, and he may never have A9s, he may never have 67s. So keep in mind this is just one way to plug it.
