nice

great point about changing up your 4bet sizing. against someone who was doing that to you (and you knew they were a pretty good player), would you just assume they were randomizing it as well until you had evidence that showed otherwise, and if so, what adjustments would you make?

Time Link to 00:21:58

so would donk/3betting/barreling turn be a good bluff in that spot with like 76/T7/A2 of diamonds or something even weaker like J6s or pure air?

Time Link to 00:22:59

what air hands would you bet call the flop and lead turn like that, and how would you handle a raise here with Q9?

Time Link to 00:31:39

table 2 with the JT,
1) why do you lead turn?
2 )what would you do if he raised the turn?
3) would you call a hand like A7 there?
4) If you were in his shoes with AK/AJ/AT, would you value shove?

Time Link to 00:34:21

so is your 4bet range weighted a lot more toward bluffs when you get that deep?

Time Link to 00:39:51

table 3 w/ JT- would you jam anything other than a flush on the river for value there (like any Kx)?

Time Link to 00:43:52

T1 w/ 87o - what value hands would you be c/r'ing the turn with there?

Justified is an excellent show!

Its sad we get the 2nd part of this video how many months.....years......later? And all these guys give you props for it. Sad. I can honestly say this site is now bottom tier, and imo this video is a slap in the face to those of use that just asked for more HU vidoes and have been here for years.

If you can honestly say that you give this site 100% effort, then I take it back. But lets hear you say it.

I had to edit this post, I didn't realize 90% of the comments were by the same guy.

1 month later. if you don't like the content we're releasing, cancel your membership. i give every video i make a lot of effort, and i give this site a lot of effort. i don't appreciate your comments and this is not the first time you've trolled someone like this.

do something else with your time.

i wouldn't assume they were randomizing actually, i'd assume they were bluffing or messing around trying to get me to make some adjustment. i don't think a lot of people who min 4bet actually do it with any sort of balance. hard to comment further than that because usually you'll have some kind of context (i call, c/r flop and he folds... or i call, and we get to showdown and i see what he has) that will help make better decisions

so would donk/3betting/barreling turn be a good bluff in that spot with like 76/T7/A2 of diamonds or something even weaker like J6s or pure air?

if you're going to run a bluff like that you need to not be losing money on that bluff, so you can't bluff with all of those. it really depends on how you'd play your sets and JT. if you're going to do it i'd just pick a few combos of those, mix it with an image that's pretty in line and bombs away

what air hands would you bet call the flop and lead turn like that, and how would you handle a raise here with Q9?

i might play him again so can't answer that one

table 2 with the JT,
1) why do you lead turn?
2 )what would you do if he raised the turn?
3) would you call a hand like A7 there?
4) If you were in his shoes with AK/AJ/AT, would you value shove?

why not lead?

i wouldn't value shove against a strange line like this from a good player as often as i would against a bad player

T1 w/ 87o - what value hands would you be c/r'ing the turn with there?

sets, two pair, big jack

Great video with some very crazy spots, although image quality is kinda bad.

Looking forward to pr1nnyraiding 3, when will the first ep come out?

Awesome match.

Incredibly entertaining on all fronts and well played by both :-)

wtf krantz ¿?

I do agree there is very few HU videos lately . Also this video is a pretty bad video quality and combined with the fact that it is a 4 tabling video without a HUD makes it pretty hard to watch.

I enjoyed the last whitelime duel video which is top quality in every aspect , that is the kind of video that i hope to see from you guys.

guys, please post and vote up your suggestions for HU content here, we are always listening:

in one week!

awesome

haha good point. It seemed good to me, but I was just curious about your thought process behind it and how you would have handled a raise (would have sucked to have to fold your very disguised draw).

Also, don't know why ppl are complaining about HU content. These vids vs IFS were very educational and entertaining. And there's been a Duel like every week from Krantz, Baluga, Whitelime, Jk3a, Wilt on Tilt, AND Pr1nyraiding 3 starts next week. Wtf else do you want lol.

Well i dont know about you , but i think one HU vid per week is not really enough.
And at the moment we are reciving only one video per week.

And now for this week we get a low quality video where the author of the video plays 4 tables without the hud becouse he could not get a hud to work. Srsly?
Do u think he gives 100% when he cant take 15 min before the match to get the hid to work?

And then after he is done with the recording and looks at its bad quality ... he goes: " meh , i am publishing it" .

I am sorry but that is not ok.

Hi zgpwns,

We appreciate the feedback and constructive criticism. You're right about the issues with the video quality, and I'm going to be working with those of our producers who use Macs to try to remedy these issues in the future. Unfortunately recording videos can be a pretty technical process, and technology isn't everyone's strong suit. This is especially true on video reviews.

That said - it's unlikely that we'll ever be releasing significantly more than 1HU vid per week for a variety of reasons; we aren't a specialist site and we intend to aim (in the future - this should be evident with pr1nnyraiding 3) for quality over quantity.

I've discussed the problems that happened in this vid with KRANTZ over Skype and will be working with the remaining members of the team who use Mac Recording software to try to help avoid them in the future. We've also made the decision that the video, while not optimal, is certainly better as an educational tool released than shelved due to some suboptimal video settings. We aim for the highest quality videos possible, but there are (and likely will be in the future) difficult-to-avoid technical mishaps.

One final point: due to the way that video production works, video producers don't usually see the final product until they are put on the site (after their initial recording). This wasn't a case of KRANTZ going "oh well, I don't care" but more realizing the video quality was messed up after it was already published, and us deciding as a team that the video was better left released than unreleased.

thanks,
Rob

And then after he is done with the recording and looks at its bad quality ... he goes: " meh , i am publishing it" .

Actually, that's not what happened all. The file got corrupted and they were trying to fix it for a few days straight, so we are lucky that it came out as good as it did. Also, many people wanted to see the match because they followed imfromsweden's thread on 2p2, so if it wasn't released just because of a trivial glitch in the recording (that doesn't affect anyone's ability to follow the action and learn), a lot of people would have been disapointed, and a lot of people are glad that it was released because they follow IFS.

I don't see how any of the complaints that you mention can prevent you from learning a ton from the video. Your time would be much better spent studying the video (and the hundreds of other top-notch HU videos already in the library) and posting questions for the author, rather than complaining about trivial things.

Thank you guys for your responses.
I know that recording the video can be an issue (tried it myself a few times)
I realize that u are not hu specialized site. But i play hu so i have to whine about it .

Also i want to add that i love 99.9% of the hu videos that you publish.
Especially wiltontilt and jk3a videos, also the whitelime duel video is one of the best videos i have ever seen... more plz

Pr1nnyraiding 3 coming out ? For real ? So so so cooool

Hey Krantz enjoyed the match. It seems like IFS epitomizes the new more aggro mid-high stakes reg. Did you feel like you had an edge in this match or do you feel like your out of touch with what it takes to win in today's mid-high stakes HU games?

awesome

Great video one question thought...why u kept pot sizing against such an aggresive opponent?wouldnt be cheaper to diminish ur sizing at some spots?

why not lead?

Because you aren't representing anything that you want to go all-in, which means that a player like ifs will raise you on either the turn or the river leaving you with nothing but a fold when you don't hit your straight.

Because you aren't representing anything that you want to go all-in, which means that a player like ifs will raise you on either the turn or the river leaving you with nothing but a fold when you don't hit your straight.

just because something might happen doesn't mean you should pass on an aggressive action, especially when the turn or river raise isn't coming very often at all (he only has so many combos of value raising hands and needs to remain somewhat balanced with his bluffs)

even if you aren't balanced with yours?

Time Link to 00:37:59

Table 1 folded 2nd pair to a double barrel without much thought. Against an oppenent this aggressive, is this correct here?
