    Are you saying he is going to barrel the next two streets after he barrels the flop no matter what?

    If that is the case, yes, you should fold the flop. Because your essentially calling $130 into a $10 pot. I could be wrong here but this seems like the case.

    I was thinking this same thing. If you KNOW he's going to triple on you no matter what, then you're calling $130 on the flop, and the pot is $10, and you win 35% of the time. But on the flop you are getting 140:130 odds, so need to win 48% of the time.

    So what's the lesson here? Don't make marginal EV calls, even if you think you're getting the correct odds vs opponents that are likely/very likely to barrel us?
