    Default 2 x three barrels

    Betting on all streets in two different situations. Thoughts please!


    I was playing relatively nitty and hadn't shown down too many bluffs by this point. Villain was 38/13 with 340bbs and was clearly running the table.

    2 is fine but bet more on the river.

    1 he sounds like a bit of a station so why are you trying to bluff him? I dont even really think you have enough outs to do this on the turn. I just take the free card and hopefully if I hit the river he'll bet out and I can raise anyway.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    I really like both, might bet a bit more in hand 1 on river if I think he will fold a weak K or worse type hand. If he does show up with worse you really got to tighten up and value bet, not bluff him.

    Hand 2, seems great against a loose passive on a pretty dry board, a passive is unlikely to raise you with anything you beat and you can safely fold, and it gets value out of alot of weaker hands, a loose player might even show up with just a jack here.

    If I'm gonna 3barrell hand 1 I think I might just go pot/pot/shove cuz that's what I'd do with AA/set.

    Hand 2 isn't 3barrelling, it's value-betting.
