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

been waiting for this!!!

excellent stuff

Can we officially start calling Dan "DJ Pop-up" as he seems to be popping up all over the place.

Also, do you think you could get the folks from either "Inside poker" or "Poker player" (UK mags) to run a feature on this with the permission of G4 once it has run or is running so those of us out side of the UK can get the highlights of it? It would be great to read an interview on it.

This is absolutely a fold preflop. With the stacks, position is irrelevant and you are not getting the odds if you think he has Aces most of the time.

+1 imo. if you're in hollink's spot and there's 2 calls in front it's closer, but I definitely fold here.

This was excellent stuff. more pls

34 on 34QTx river spot, you're fireing a 3rd barrel, 1850 into 2422, most likely folding to a jam. You said afterwards most people don't really have a callingrange in that spot, either CRAI or fold. Wouldn't it be a good idea to bet something like 1200 or even 800 in that spot? Having a depolarized valuebetting range against an opponent that's likely gonna raise-fold and not call often seems bad. By betting smaller you kinda force him to have a callingrange again, allowing you to make thin valuebets again.

Another hand where you 3barrel the same opponent again. Given the huge ammount of extra draws turning, and all of them missing, and your sreenname, and you having 3barreled him like 2 orbits ago in the 34o hand and getting a fold, wouldn't it be better to just give up? Even if your range is so balanced that he's making a -EV call with a ten, given that you just 3barreled him recently, it just felt like you'd get looked up alot to me.

And given the drawyness of the board, presumably he's not slowplaying anything, right? So if his range on the river is mainly Tx or 99, what about overbetting with a balanced range? The larger bet allows you to have a higher bluffing frequency, so if he has a bluffcatcher 100% of the time, an overbet has the highest EV with your range. He needs to slowplay monsters on the turn for a river overbet to be a bad idea on this board, right? Which he probably isn't doing...

Im pretty sure that kuhnigget is a word from one of the Monty Python films, Holy Grail i think. If it is, Krantz' pronunciation was the right one.

I watched some of the vids on g4. May I just say that ur war room is soooo coooool!!!!! Best idea ever.

I was just saying how a really good player probably shouldn't have a calling range there. But tons of players do and will call with worse, so you want to bet bigger.

Dan and I talk about that a bit later in the video, about how it probably wasn't a good spot to barrel considering I just 3 barreled him and my reputation.

Overbetting is an interesting idea, except that I don't really expect to get folds often enough from Tx to make it close to profitable. I probably wouldn't overbet with KT or AT so by overbetting it polarizes my range in a spot where I don't want to be polarized.

This is absolutely a fold preflop. With the stacks, position is irrelevant and you are not getting the odds if you think he has Aces most of the time.

Good to know :-)

when u triple barrel on the T high board with AK....

you said that theres not much difference bewteen KT and JT in his shoes even though he is more likely to fold JT than KT.

im curious as to what the weakest hand you would value bet on the river there - do you value bet JT? or would you check/call with that? or check/fold? obviously because if you value bet JT as well as bet your diamonds, then it becomes an easier call with KT by him

yeah exactly what i was thinking too. it's even a very loose open utg to begin with in a non-nitty game, but yeah it's one of the worst hands to defend to a huge 3bet.

KRANTZ, you are on 2 deep table, why don't you buy in for 200bb ?
