    Default Good double barrel?

    Villain is 52/15 after a good amount of hands. This is the second orbit in a row that he's open limped the c/o and I raised the button. Last time he c/r'ed the flop and I folded. I have not been at the table long enough to know how he got his stack.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($57.25)
    MP ($24.05)
    CO ($149.50)
    Hero ($50)
    SB ($59.20)
    BB ($89.95)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, Q.
    2 folds, CO calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2.5, 2 folds, CO calls $2.

    Flop: ($5.75) 4, 7, 8 (2 players)
    CO checks, Hero bets $4, CO calls $4.

    Turn: ($13.75) A (2 players)
    CO checks, Hero bets $10

    What are his fold to cbet stats?

    I would say this is better against a better player than a worse one because the better player is going to be less likely to float a cbet OOP with just overs.

    Personally, this is something I think I overdo. Not betting when an ace comes, but firing second barrels against weak players. These guys will call the flop with a draw, a 7, maybe even a 4, but arent going to fold to a two barrel. Id imagine that they are folding to a third barrel unimproved, but firing 3 barrels against a player like this is just overkill.

    Unless they have a abnormally high fold to turn bet % [for players like this], then this probably isnt great.

    Against a more standard player though, this is fine.

    His fold to c-bet was 57%.

    Thanks for writing all that Andy. I suspected alot of that. I never double barrel and I'm trying to put it in my arsenal. I thought that I picked the wrong spot this time because of everything you said.

    Andy is correct.
