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

Oslo is in norway

Was just about to go to sleep when finally the vid which I've been waiting for the whole day gets uploaded. Not a biggy, but now I have to stay awake another hour

Good luck to all of you in achieving your goal.

There is this weird beeping noise in this and other videos (omakase)-what is this?

Interesting to see you playing some FR. Couple of questions about the JJ hand where you re-raised Boykee in position then get it in vs. a cold 4bet by Artanis.

You mentioned that you would normally flat JJ against a raise but image considerations led you to 3-betting. What are you doing if you flat the raise and then Artanis squeezes from the blinds (and Boykee just folds)? I'm guessing you'd rarely flat QQ-AA to the original raise so JJ is near the top of your flatting range, but getting it in pre-flop and calling both seem pretty marginal to me. Would you continue with any smaller pairs? AQ/KQ?

Thanks

Jay, please do a duel commentary vid with Ansky or something with him in your next vid. aejones already did this with him at leggopoker so maybe your sites could work out the same deal with PokerSavy as you have with Bluefire in the past.

Scotty, the weird beeping is the pstars warning that your time is low.

As far as future content, I love the live play with extra random information about the house and what's going on there chocked between hands. As you said, when you're doing live play you get to hear the analysis, and see whether it works out or not, whereas with some HH analysis videos you can't help but wonder how many times a move went bad compared to when it worked.

Some more info on what games and stuff you guys are playing to reach your goal would be great.

i want your theme please tell me where i can get it and how i can install it thank you kind sir. looking forward to watching

I have the exact same question, what theme are you using?

HU video from krantz would be great.

I have the exact same question, what theme are you using?

Hey guys,

The mods were curtosey of DC member, Bar Nuthin and TiltBuster.com.

can you go into your entire thought process for the 68 hand like what ranges you think cuz i thought it would be a snap call but the more i thought the more i started to see why you could fold but if you could explain that a little more that would be great thank you

Hey guys,

I'm on the site and don't see it. Does that mean it's like a DC exclusive?

out of interest why would you CR here?

Two pair hand in a 3bet pot on 678.

Do you think he is gonna muck 99/TT on this board after you cbet into the maniac fish or you think he is always shipping them preflop?

He is never folding broadway clubs in this situation, right?

Also, would this hand be different if fishy had a proper stack?

The 97 hand against benyamineX on the T T 8 board you said you hated his flop play with Q8 and one of the reasons you cited was that he should keep his range as wide as possible. Isn't his range going to be wider playing the hand the way he did? If he just calls he's essentially repping a range of made hands many of which are strong which makes it really hard for you to try and bluff. If he raises he can now have air/strong hands which is essentially what you are hoping when you call and plan on betting just about any river. He's also protecting his equity against random overcard hands that may bluff the flop which seems like another benefit. If he doesn't really expect you to continue to bluff if he calls on that board and also expects you to always have equity then it seems raising the flop would always be better. You could argue his river call is marginal at best since it was one of the worst cards for him but other than that I would think his play was ok.

out of interest why would you CR here?

Look at his stack.

HU video would be great!

You re calling 4k to win 18k that 68s so getting 4.5 to 1 with 22% equity even vs the nuts, its a snap call imo considering his range includes draws.

Look at his stack.

And also the BTN here is betting most of his range just trying to take down the pot. By cR you actually put him in a tough situation. If you just check call (if BB folded) there is a lot of cards that can come on turn that Jay will have problem with.

Time Link to 00:52:29

When you 3b kings right after you 3b 68s, why do you check that flop?

They're gonna assume you're wide and with your air you'd cbet there right? By checking you turn your hand face up as showdown value and you won't reall induce turn bluffs. By betting you can induce a c/r or maybe a light c/c.

Also, dual commentary video with Ansky (or any other player combo) like he did with Aejones would be the nuts.

Jay can you help me understand something here with KT? You can expect to have 8 outs on turn here (5:1). Since you have to call 1250 you should get 6250 in the end. Pot is little over 3300 with 3671 behind. 6250 minus 3300 is close to 3000. So this should be a good call.

Question: you are summing the numbers 650 + 800 (pot) = 1400, than you mummble 1200 (i guess the price to call). You don't mention 1900 here. How exactly did you get your answer here - is there any shortcut to calculate this (since there is limited time during the game).

Thank you for your answer

In the 86s hand I actually anticipated villain check/shipping before he did. My reasoning was that I myself would check/ship there vs a good regular and the maniacal SB with a pretty wide range, just to isolate myself vs SB and go to showdown HU with him with lots of dead money in the pot. So I thought "if that guy ships it in, Krantz is gonna snapcall, because he obviously knows that" I was really surprised that you doubted your decision. OK, a point could be made that villain also knows that you won't cbet air here vs the SB but he should suspect you to pretty much felt any TP, prolly 2nd pair, 99+ (board was 678 tt if memory serves me right) and draws against the poor player, given what we had seen from him. The question now becomes: From how many hands of your stack-off-vs-SB-range can he get you off of?

I might be missing something super obvious here but to me that was a snapcall not because "lol I have 2pair in a 3bet pot" (a line of thinking which I hate btw) but for the reasons I outlined above.

A few questions:
In the KT hand on JxxQ is there any merit to checking back the turn instead?

When you check back KK on Axx and bet the A turn what would you do if he raised ?

Also curios to know about that 68 hand what ur buddies thought.

Cheers.

with the KT, would you bluff the river if he checked to you on a spade? on a blank?

In the 86hh hand, we're calling 1128 for the main pot and 3019 for the side pot, and looks like main pot is about 6800 before we act. Here are my rough ranges:

Fish: JJ-66,AcQc,AcJc,AcTc,A9s-A7s,Ac6c,Ac5c,Ac4c,Ac3c,Ac2c,KcQc,KcJc,KcTc,Kc9c,K8s-K7s,Kc3c,Kc2c,QcJc,QcTc,Qc9c,Q8s-Q7s,JcTc,J9s,T9s,98s,87s,76s,54s,A9o-A7o
Deldar: 99-66,AcQc,AcJc,AcTc,Ac9c,Ac8c,Ac7c,Ac6c,Ac5c,Ac4c,Ac3c,Ac2c,Kc9c,Kc8c,T9s,98s,87s,76s

Sorry for the pokerstove formatting. Basically, I figure a good guess is that Deldar would shove his nut FDs and his pair + FDs, but not other FDs. That's prob not exactly right but I think it's a decent approximation to the number of FDs he actually shoves and our equity against them.

Anyway, that gives us 30% equity in the main pot and 42% equity in the side pot. So if there were no side pot, equity from calling would be .30*(1128+6800)-1128 = 1250. And from side pot, .42*(2*3019)-3019 = -483. So you end up making $767 with my ranges.

So basically, it's ridic close. If we give deldar a couple less FDs or a little less 89/99, then it's a fold. Obv if we throw in overpairs it becomes a call again. So, it really depends on his very specific tendencies for shoving vs. calling here.

Great vid, would love to see a hu vid next week or two weeks

Nice video krantz, they are always great.

Ramblings = why your videos are the best

Diet soda has aspartame in it which is worse than drinking regular

HU for the next vid plz Krantz

Great vid btw

Great video, thanks!

Diet soda has aspartame in it which is worse than drinking regular

Way worse than regular in fact I don't think poison is too much of an overstatement

oh yeah fr please sir

i want your theme please tell me where i can get it and how i can install it thank you kind sir. looking forward to watching

the theme is self installing

I'd probably just shove against an unknown, reps any pocket pair and gets calls from AT+ in these games v often.

Jay, please do a duel commentary vid with Ansky or something with him in your next vid. aejones already did this with him at leggopoker so maybe your sites could work out the same deal with PokerSavy as you have with Bluefire in the past.

Ansky could make an appearance at some point...

Isn't his range going to be wider playing the hand the way he did?

You could argue his river call is marginal at best since it was one of the worst cards for him but other than that I would think his play was ok.

He is just putting way way too much money into a hand in which he's crushed vs my range that continues when he can keep the pot small, which should be his primary concern without much metagame.

You def can't argue his river call is marginal at best, it's lighting money on fire.

When you 3b kings right after you 3b 68s, why do you check that flop?

They're gonna assume you're wide and with your air you'd cbet there right? By checking you turn your hand face up as showdown value and you won't reall induce turn bluffs. By betting you can induce a c/r or maybe a light c/c.

I think I should have bet here too.

Deldar: 99-66,AcQc,AcJc,AcTc,Ac9c,Ac8c,Ac7c,Ac6c,Ac5c,Ac4c,Ac3c,Ac2c,Kc9c,Kc8c,T9s,98s,87s,76s

Thanks Noah, you're awesome. This was pretty much the consensus when I discussed with Flawless.

HU HU HU HU HU!

I think I'd also call the 86 hand BUT...if you rewind the video to the hand (at about 50:00) you can actually see a slight/odd hesitation on his part which may or may not be a timing tell. When I watched the video I def. noticed it but not sure if it stood out more in retrospect due to the results

Either way...
***transcontinental run good luck blessing for the house***

HU JAY!

Nice to see you running bad once

http://e3.g4tv.com/2m2MM/ imo

Deuces cracked photo shoot! wooooooo


-db

Please bring back the move of honor

Good vid Krantz.

Serious Q - what kinda meds are u taking? Have tried Aderol before but it sucks. Please respond. thanks.

Think live play is much more interesting than going over sessions afterwards.
If you run out of time on hands, you can always go over them at the end with pokertracker.

I´d call the 86s too, it´s somewhat close though, as you rep an overpair like you said and he might ship fairly wide if he thinks he has the fish beat and have decent equity in case you call.

gl with the 2 mill, will be interesting to follow when it airs.

nice
