Punt or No Punt?! Clanty BLASTING OFF at 5K NL?! 'Any More Salt for the Wound?!' Part 2

We are back for part 2 of Clanty's Punt or No Punt! Sorry it's taken some time to release this, but had a lot of content on the agenda. I can guarantee that it was worth waiting for, though! The last two hands include the most interesting hand I have ever analysed and I hope you enjoy going over it as much as I did!

Incredible insight into one of the most unique poker minds and great to hear Clanty's thoughts also.

[@eastyyy22]

lmao

XD

[@blakey2099]

hahahaha well played dude.

[@adamkimberley2575]

I get the feeling that Clanty sees the world the way Neo sees the Matrix, but instead of binary code, it's just EV calculations and ranges.

[@eastyyy22]

It's actually straight insane how well this guy understands theory.

[@BigDaddyGee85]

*proceeds to punt off 100bb+ with bottom pair and worst blocker😂

[@mgm-kh9qm]

Gonna say it again, these punt vids of yours Nick are best instructional poker content out there, hands down! keep up the stellar work, and thanks to Clanty too.

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks a lot man, appreciate that!

[@Upbeatpkr]

What a piece of gold this video is. Clanty seems like such an awesome guy to talk to and makes me feel like I know nothing about poker haha. Keep up the great work with the PONP series. Can't wait for next one!

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks Justin lad, got to line up a new guest!

[@Riz22578]

Clanty explains the theory behind mixing and frequencies so well

[@eastyyy22]

He's a monster!

[@Noogaiii]

ive been a professional player for 10 years and ive watched alot of poker content, and this video is probably the most insightful free video I have ever seen. I learned alot from it and clanty is truly brilliant. Probably a genius. You did a fantastic job also nick with this!

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks a lot mate, Clanty really is something else!

[@tobyc8905]

I absolutely love this series, great information

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks, Toby!

[@PokerDeals]

this is actually a very interesting vid... nice work! love the punty clantiness of it

[@eastyyy22]

Thank you! Certainly some punting from Mr Clanty it seems!

[@looper6394]

this series is so absolutely mindblowing. hand 1) did i understand correctly that in bbs spot we rather call with QJ than AJ, because we unblock bluff jams by small Axs?

[@TimeHandler]

the fact that KK is indifferent on that board literally has just absolutely shattered my confidence... i would literally never fold this hand...

[@PokerDeals]

that A2s river spot is awesome

[@eastyyy22]

Love that hand man!

[@FefeLeVrai]

Agree with everything said here. Actually wanted to react to you asking on steam what to do in the hand where you checkraised flop with a set of 3's, barreled turn, and river brought in the frontdoor flush and you jammed for pot. Jamming is not a thing here, opponent has a flush advantage since he calls with all his flush draws while you only checkraise like half of them. Essentially on this river you have a range advantage (more medium strength hands like 2 pair and sets, while he has more 1 pair hands), while he has the nut advantage (more flushes). And when you have a range advantage without the nut advantage, the play is mostly to bet small. Solver goes for a block bet and folds to a jam. Exploitatively this is also the best play imo, since pool loves to call with nonsense and doesn't bluff raise. Of course this is easy to balance by block betting flushes too.

[@eastyyy22]

Ah appreciate the input here mate! Do you lurk the stream or under a different name? Something felt off about this hand and everything you say makes sense. Thanks!

[@FefeLeVrai]

@@eastyyy22 I'm a lurker :)

[@sitbackandrelax1961]

Nice content. Love the format. curious what Clanty thinks about how Nick uses the phrase "at my stakes its a fold" referring to the A2s OTR. is this a good way to think about spots readless when playing lower to midstakes? I feel like maybe it could turn into a leak if you are always assuming opponents are incapable of making a big bluff. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks! We have to accept there is a difference between the stakes. The chances of someone at my stakes thinking about what parts of his range (particularly strong hands like houses or straights) need to fold on that river is so damn low.

[@williamfrankland5510]

Almost never bluff in lower stakes or I strong semi bluff after a read

[@1981mundo]

Amazing thinking that goes into these hands but the thing I’m wondering is does he actually think like that within the time aloud when actually playing as you obviously don’t get 20 mins to go through it all 🤔

[@eastyyy22]

It takes a while to discuss, but without me blabbering on he would do it faster. Reality is that his brain does this pretty damn quickly in the moment.

[@sanwarahmed8227]

whats up with that rake? is that $2 and 25 cents of a $11.5K pot?!

[@eastyyy22]

I'm sorry you had to find out this way...

[@Roxz.1]

Another amazing PONP episode!

[@eastyyy22]

thanks lad!

[@BlazedBeat]

really enjoying your content. good stuff!

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks mate!

[@Hildreth1101]

Be very curious to think if the A2 bluff line ever wins any money in reality when you face pot OTR, probably does with positive blockers, if he'd only 2.5x it not min-raised I think it would be making money. Can't accuse him of being unbalanced. Hard to score it though - Actually, I like it, weirdly enough, extremely creative but I think it will make money long term. NO PUNT.

[@eastyyy22]

Definitely one of the most interesting hands I have ever reviewed on the channel to be honest. It's obviously a thing in theory but I feel you are right, not sure how many reality folds we get! He makes a good point though, we need some bluffs, we want to have an A, so why would we not mix this in? Super cool spot.

[@johnd5619]

great content, it would be awesome to see the wakko on trying to talk you in clanty into some donkey donks.

[@eastyyy22]

Hahaha might be hard to arrange but I agree!

[@sinsmiletv2840]

second amazing part, THX Nicky p.s. just finished it this level of game is wierd AF

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks a lot, Jonny!

[@AshS10]

Seems great theory but I fail to see value in shoving A3 for thousands. I don’t think most people will even fold a jack there.

[@oliver8510]

I think hand 1 where he says he doesn’t think $600 is a good bet size and he should probably bet $400 is probably a sign he has exactly KK or QJ which is being greedier vs AX

[@roberto5136-g3i]

Great vid!

Is Clanty really hildreth??

[@eastyyy22]

Not sure even Hildreth bluffs these 🤣

[@ghgf23hh3]

Why not bet small on the turn ip with A3dd?

[@eastyyy22]

Think he does address that!

[@karolykovacs2299]

I think he made a mistake in the first hand about 16 combos of JQ bet/folding on the river since the offsuit combos are not in BB 3bet range. It's more realistic to count with the 4 suited combos. On the other hand he didn't count all the AQo and suited combos and the 4 AJ suited combos which are betting the river at least with some frequency for this sizeing.

[@rgee5952]

It's ur boi!

[@eastyyy22]

Indeed!
