Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by KRANTZ (Micro/Small Stakes)

Super video learning a ton. Theres one. Dont have any questions but am definitely considering focusing on heads up after watching these

Already putting it to use baby. Made a ton of money heads up was break even before your masterful videos keep them coming!!

Good vid, unfortunately the table on the right was pretty boring so effectively it still felt like a one tabling video...
in the future i'd like to see some 2 tabling vid against a lag regular

so on table 1, villain shows 79, which he 2brl'd. Because of this hand, can i assume his 3 barreling range is going to be made up of ...
1. only tptk+ types of hands
and
2. isn't likely to be a bluff?

My hand looks pretty weak where, topping out at 7x. If he's not going to fire, he's prob. not thinking too deep and prob. isn't ranging me.

Is betting 1/2 pot in his spot thin but good?

Time Link to 00:12:11

Table 2, even tho I have showdown value on the rive, should i be potting it there to blow him off his whole range?

Time Link to 00:22:27

1 more aspect of my call here... while i did think he was psychotic, he wasn't betting showdown value, or betting thin, which does polarize his range some what. I think he'd pretty much have to have AQ or QJ here to have a barreling hand. He could have also hit Q9, J9 or T8.

Is the above reasonable? does it matter enough to make calling less bad?

Time Link to 00:41:30

does this hand imply that all of his bets on later streets are very polarized? The only value hand he's barreled was AQ after 2 barrel bluffing and rivering the ace ( I think)

Testing, sorry

no questions, just want to say keep em coming, interesting series, makes me want to start play HU

Table 1

Don't you think we should cbet this board because of his inclination to call 3bets with suited middle cards like 86s? It's a lot of value to have plus he started to pot control more recently?

While you are correct, I think the bigger issue here is that his range is much, much wider than just middle SC's. We prob do lose some value vs that part of his range, but there's a much bigger part of his range which has nothing here, and Krantz wanted me to let him bluff with that much bigger part of his range.

1 yes, 2 no. nothing about that line implies he wouldn't try to bluff if he had air or some kind of missed draw, gutshot.

if you're talking about betting 1/2 pot in his spot, depends on who he's playing against. if he's playing against a loose passive calling station, yeah, 2/3 pot might be even better (especially the looser the opponent)

Table 2, even tho I have showdown value on the rive, should i be potting it there to blow him off his whole range?

you could, doesn't matter much though. when in doubt take the aggressive line!

not really, because it was a 4-bet pot. his range is different, his actions are going to be different. too much of a stretch to say that because he isn't betting thinly in single raised pots, he's bluffing very often in 4-bet pots. need to see him play more 3-bet and 4-bet pots to draw that conclusion.

yes, but you could know that from earlier (the 79 hand). this is a strange hand because you limped the button and then he raised the BB, and then the flush came on the turn and he only has QJ. doesn't surprise me that he turned up with that hand there

Why can't we see a live sweat session? DC does not want that to be done or is it Poker stars somehow saying no?

Time Link to 00:02:18

On the right I think he has a weak ace that now has AA99K and no longer has kicker problems or a 9 like you said.

Time Link to 00:21:18

When you say if you call the turn, on the right, you have to call the river. Why is that? I would think if he bets again (especially oop when he could be going for a check raise OTF) that you might be more inclined to fold on the river to another bet?
