    Default 200nl - Double Barrel hand w/AQ

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($197)
    CO ($80)
    Button ($145.60)
    SB ($104.80)
    BB ($343)
    UTG ($212.35)
    UTG+1 ($211)
    MP1 ($225.45)
    MP2 ($215.55)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q, A. CO posts a blind of $2.
    4 folds, Hero raises to $10, 1 fold, Button calls $10, 2 folds.

    Flop: ($25) 5, 5, K (2 players)
    Hero bets $20, Button calls $20.

    Turn: ($65) 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets $46, ...

    No stats. I double-barrel here since his range is mostly PPs and FDs. I'm ahead of all FDs and I think I can make all PPs fold with a second barrel that don't 3-bet preflop. Good or spew?

    Yes, unless it's an ace or a queen in which case I think a check/call might be better. Not totally sure about that though.

    This play is player dependent. If it I am playing against a TAG regular I bet the turn 75% depending on who it is and his propensity to play back at me.

    Against an unknown it isn't terrible because you do fold out 77-99 most of the time, but I do think betting a blank river would be on the spewy side.

    Your image is generally tight preflop is it not? Against aware opponents I think this is spew.

    16/15 or so.

    I'm torn. It's very opponent dependent, and even then I'm still not sure what to do. He'll only call flop/turn with more kings than we expect. I'm thinking to either c/f flop or triple barrel. I think you'll find more players on Stars who can fold KQ to the third barrel, but I don't really know.

    This being unknown I would rather c/f than triple. I'm not sure what to think of a double since it may take a triple to get a decent amount of players off TT.

    This really just strikes me as a c/f or triple hand. Paired boards just really suck for repping big as a pfr since you having something is less likely and since they tend to get more bluffs for some reason.

    Also your image doesn't matter since you're both unknowns.
