    Default maybe my first well executed 3 barrel

    villain has only seen me show "high-end" cards, and win all but once. villain, if paying any attention, knows i bet almost all flops i am pfr'r in. but, hasnt seen me lead a limped pot.......because i'm rarely in them.

    what do you all put him on here? i'm curious because i was proud of myself for realizing he has a less than 5% chance of having the A and cant hardly call river with anything he would be calling thus far with. but, then again, 25NL never ceases to amaze me in these spots.

    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    I don't know if you can discount suited aces, A2/A5/A7 suited from being in his limping PF range.

    The river was a good card cause it made it less likely he had the ace, but if the river was a blank I'd be worried he had one of the above hands and smooth calling the turn.

    villains range is sc's that a draw missed or paired a 5 or 7. Its also possible villain has a mid pp that you folded out.

    the easiest 3 barrells are usually with flush draws out, if you can put someone on one basically just bet river if it missed

    i agree, but most times i fire at the "missed flush," i get the FTR response of "why bet there, the only hands that call you beat you." well, if i'm on air......DUH.

    the only reason i kept firing on turn (it looked like the A was in MY range) and the river (A paired..sell it). if turn wasnt K or A, i'm done. if river isnt the other A, i'm done. pretty simple. but, it looked like i just kept improving, and if he didnt have anything decent, how could he call?

    but, like i said, 25NL never ceases to amaze me.

    Maybe less than 5% chance of being dealt an ace and having those come off, but he has an ace there way more than 5% of the time.

    Looks fine, but really marginal at 25Nl, where you're much better of value betting - as you said nothing surprises you here, they could call down with pocket 3's lol.
    If you have your HUD running looking at their went to showdown stat b4 you think about a triple barrel here, also the A is a good card to bluff as pfr but not in a limped pot in big blind & + Ax is a big part of their limping range to.
    (Also cbetting 90% of hu flops as pfr is best practice at say 100Nl
    at 25Nl you have to look at their fold to cbet % - if its lower than 40
    (often at these stakes)then its not going to be profitable. )

    I really don't like flop bet at these stakes.

    Turn is fine
    River is bad.
