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

2 KRANTZ videos in a row? Give me some time to recover from the first one, will ya.

great video, a bit boring because the tables are hard to read and tight.. but very informational, the boring part is def not your fault. Krantz showing once again that deuces cracked is the only site with nosebleed/hsnl players that can articulate perfectly even in ssnl/msnl games which are different than theirs.

wow this is a GREAT surprise to wake up to on saturday morning!

KRANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

More Krantz coaching NL100 and NL200 please!! great video

I haven't watched this yet but it's already an orgy to my eyes.

At the beginning :

Krantz : I havent coaching someone at the micro stakes...

NL 200 micro stakes ?

28 mins, table one QQ 3bet OOP on J96 r

KRANTZ: You say you would probably c/f AK in this spot and I totally agree. What about KQ?

I had a similar hand in one of my recent sessions where I held KQ in this spot, which I consider a pretty strong draw on this board in a 3bet pot. Villain was fairly aggro with a significant gap between vpip and pfr and over a significant smple folded to 3bets 25% of the time. So preflop my 3bet is clearly for value given his wide calling range.

On the flop I expected a player like this to bet a huge % of his range. Should he decide to potcontrol underpairs/JT kinda hands a freecard would hurt him and not me so I was OK with him checking.

I decided to check/shove.

What do you think of my flop line?

KK hand at the beginning (10 6 4 board or something). Opponent check calls, then checkraises turn ace. We call raise and fold riv.

My first thought was to just fold turn, since I can't really think of any hands that he does this w/ as a bluff here. Maybe some weird gutshot that picked up a flush draw on the turn, but he's probably not ever c/calling flop w/ that.

Just folding immediately seems best to me, despite the good price. I play 1/2 a lot, and just about never see someone check minraise here, and then check the river. You don't think we can safely fold to the check minraise?

Word je ff door Krant gecoached, luckbox.

Nice vid.

Krantz nice to see you talking poker down in the small stakes. Nice vid loon and Krantz. TY!

Nice vid.
Hope to this more of this style in the future.
At 24 min we open ATs in SB, we get 3bet and call, krantz say we can 4bet. If we 4bet, we 4bet/call right ? I mean it's not a bluff, it's for value right? And also what's size ? a commiting 4bet, or a non commiting 4bet to let him rebluff us or just shove ?

At 28min you give your range to 4betting Mr.Tee when he 3bet your BTN open from the SB, You say any pp and AJs+. Doesn't hands like AJs and AQ have more value in calling and play in position than 4betting ?

Nice vid Ruben. ty

how can i get the almighty krantz to mentor me?!?!?

great vid. Vids this week have been awesome

stop making 4 tables videos ffs. that's not good. I mean I watched it on my laptop and I could hardly see what's going on because everything was so tiny.

krantz saved this video.

Also I can't believe you didn't tell THELOON how bad it is to play 6+ tables in order to improve your game.

KRANTZ COULD YOU PLEASE DO MORE HU STUFF!!!!!!!!!!

win some money at poker and buy a decent laptop..

just casting my vote, I think 4 table videos are fine

2 KRANTZ videos in a row? Give me some time to recover from the first one, will ya.

wow, stfu

I got a decent laptop which I am using for uni. I don't want a 21 " one which is as big as a computer.

I got a huge screen so I could watch it on my desktop pc but that's not the point.

This video illustrates how little content was included because it's 4 tables. Two tables would be much better, maybe even one table.

Of course this video was still amazing BECAUSE of krantz. SO I am rather happy with this one than with nothing at all, don't get me wrong.

Just giving an idea of how to make it even better.

Don't usually comment, but nice vid learnt a few new 'tricks' so thanks for that. Hope there's more of these soon. Also the chat on the side about the 'old days' was interesting and much welcomed. Also the comment krantz makes about knowing that there are better regulars out there at the 25/50 games etc is a good to hear. We see so many poker players with huge egos these days it's great to see someone that plays such a high level has their head in the right place. Cheers guys.

It was a good video.

Something I really liked was the check-raise on the gutshot flop.

Other than that it was pretty basic but still good information nonetheless.

And Loon, you need a break man, u click your mouse 1000 times every time u win a BB.
Your mind must be going crazy clicking like that. Out of boredom I guess lol.

win some money at poker and buy a decent laptop..

+1. Even Stevie Wonder could follow a 4 table vid. in this day and age. Inc. screen resolution imo.

every once in a while, I watch a krantz video and it just blows my mind. You introduce some new concept to me that just completely changes the way I think about playing. There we're several of those moments in this video. And I'm actually scared to mention the specific thing you said incase everyone starts doing it.

keep up the good work.

also wtf 4 table videos are fine. Even with 4 tables of action you go on rants (which is awesome btw). It's not like the tables are taking away from it. Plus 2 tables over an hour is like 200 hands. Ridiculously small sample. The more hands the better I say.

Gonna watch this asap. Thank you and TheLoon is one lucky bastard.

Very good video, I find 4 tabeling vids easy to follow on my laptop.

At the beginning :

Krantz : I havent coaching someone at the micro stakes...

NL 200 micro stakes ?

pretty sure he said microgaming. (prima network)

If u know villain is a habital floater, and u have a good hand, what do we do after we check the turn, we check/call our checkraise?If we check/call we just bet the river?
Do we try and induce bets from habital floaters on boards that are somewhat drawy?like 2 tone boards?Or we rather do it on boards that are not too wet?

how can i get the almighty krantz to mentor me?!?!?

Make a propbet on 2p2 and fail like theloon did.

This hand is a bit different because your opponent never folds to 3-bets and you have an extra ~4 outs having KQ vs AK when called, so I like your play.

Thanks man
