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

To those commenting on flawless talking over the others, keep in mind that afaik this is his first vid. Having a discussion with your friends while trying to be informative to an absent 3rd party audience (the vid viewers) takes some getting used to.

Really enjoyed the vid and looking forward to similar stuff in the future.

it was his first and he had little preparation. scary to think about how good he is naturally.

glad you guys liked this video - since it was a "bonus" video we got to experiment a little more freely with some ideas. appreciate all the feedback as always.

Can brian please shut the fuck up

If I was as elite as Brian I would never stfu either...

this video is really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really good for ppl who are auditory learners. just listening to the conversation that you ppl had blew me away.


i think more of these kind of group discussions or group videos would be great, and this could be a great idea for a series imo. could be discussing hand histories or something like that. i like a more relaxed environment where i listen to arguments being thrown back and forth between players who have a pretty good idea of what they're talking about, rather than the format which already exists which is comparable (joe tall's late night stuff). i could probably watch this video over and over again, just to listen to everything brian said.

f the haters, this video is pretty awesome especially considering they're trying out some new variations.

Wow, it's surprising to hear that. It's like back when I first found out Daniel Negreanu, John Juanda etc. weren't really very good at poker. It's just that with PA being so widely respected and feared I always assumed he was really good. Presumably his reputation is because of his strength as a PLO player?

Krantz, do you think he's still a good spot or do you think he has improved much since this session?

Thanks a lot for doing this vid though, it was very, very good!

I can't speak about his PLO game but his results are pretty good there and he's supposed to be good at the limit games too. At HUNL though, he's probably not even a top 50 player. I'd take most winning 10/20 and 25/50 HU players over him.

Arrrggh, I wish you had a note that there was a NFL spoiler. And the Browns are the only games I follow this year.

its a saturday and they played on a thursday?!?!

awesome vid btw, i need to go back and watch it again.

LOL hahahaha omg Brian is soo funny to listen to. Thnx for the vid, guys. very entertaining.

Also forgive my australian ears dani for misunderstanding your name

Was not meant to put any asperation on anyone - just saying I kept waiting for it to happen.....obviously your observation makes sense.
Alot of it was very good.

Jay - what are the top 3 things you would do differently if you were to play PA again? - from how you played in the video

mo srsly, when do we'll have the chance to see you and emil at nosebleeds again?

God damn it DC!!!!! Christmas is around the corner and in these tough times I can hardly afford Christmas present but now I have to renew my subscription..

I have to say that I absolutely love the format. First... 10 minutes (maybe) were a bit slow and Brian's mic seemed choppy but once that got sorted, it really picked up I think.

I really like the discussion generated by the disagreements, and I think Dani/Ansky should just be in every vid ever from now on (this one + gugel vid + his old vids with Aejones were all awesome in this regard).

Yeah, there were periods were there was a bit too much non-poker discussion but this wasn't a regular vid so it's definitely not something I mind every now and then.

EDIT: You might want to edit out your email (around 1:08~~ something).

Very entertaining video.

At eleven minutes in (I'm not sure how to insert one of those cool dots on the time line yet.) There is a discussion of bet sizing on the turn, and if indeed checking is the right play. The board is 6 T Q J and hero holds K Q. There is 20.5K in the pot with 29.7 behind.

Jay says he's not crazy about jamming (the line he actually takes.) Flawless says something like if you bet half pot and he jams the EV between calling and folding will be close, so you've maneuvered yourself into a tricky spot.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around this hand. It seems to me like if the river is an offsuit 9 or A, putting a one card straight on board, you won't get paid by hands that are behind but would call a turn bet. And if the river is a club he'll have a pretty good bluffing opportunity. So I would bet here, but maybe that's too predictable or straightforward? And the option of betting half pot here, 15K, leaving yourself about 15 behind with a pot that will be 50 is a move that confuses me. Can you really make a bet that looks for all the world like you are pot committed and then fold? What hands would you do this with? Is there a way to balance this?

Really enjoyed this one.

This is the awesomeness of HUNL. of course it does help when you're getting dealt AK like 80 million times Good video. I hope someday that I'll have the honor to be able to get to the high stakes tables and stack Antonius one day too. That would be sweeeeeet. But since I'm still a noob I'll just sit here on the couch and watch Krantz do it. :-D
