Old deep hand versus Krantz

he had been very aggressive and re-raising me very light, including all-stars like 87o.

well how often had you been reraising him preflop? thats a lot more important for this hand.

anyway, i like three-betting the flop big. i think your hand gets really obvious with a call. at least if you three-bet he can't rule out a bluff with a couple angry overcards or a couple spades.

you call the flop, your range is so tiny.

Agreed.

Although I don't think this is as clear cut as some may think, I'm still leaning towards a call. With stacks this deep, a four may not be out of his range but I'm unconvinced as to whether he would play a hand with so much deceptive value that fast. Now, I'm aware that the genius of a player like Krantz lies within unorthodox plays such as this but its the turn bet that leaves me unconvinced. If he really did have a four or a hand like 10 10, I don't understand why he would jam and let an overpair get away so easily. The strength of your hand is obvious, so why would he not make a smaller bet to induce a call on the river for the rest of your stack? It just doesn't make sense to me.
