    I really don't like c betting 3 bet pots and folding turn oop. If i am unsure about his range i would probably bet bigger ( but not much more, 9 maybe) to define his range more or check fold. If i do bet though i am usually gonna barrel off. Dont know whether that is right but it feels better than c/f'ing turn after betting. Really bad for your table image to give up so easy. In 3b pots a king on the board is generally safe for the 3better. The button cant have too many kings in his range besides AK ( which he usually 4bets), and King is a strong part of your perceived range.

    If he has 1010-QQ i think three barrels would do it. I usually keep a bigger river bet for the end.

    So basically c/f flop or barrel. Its close. Showdown stats would help deciding which one to go for.

    Sample size is also too small to make any assumptions besides his PFR.

    Also 3b more ip rather than oop. Its much more fun.

    Yeah the majority of my 3-betting is done in position, this seemed like a decent spot though even though sample size isn't the best.

    Note stack sizes in this spot. 3 barrels really isn't going to work well because we'd have to bet the turn absurdly small in order to shove the river with any clout. Better, I think is just betting 10 or 11+ on the flop and then shipping the turn for a psb or less.

    This hand is a great example of my tendency to not think through someone's range at the time and thus take a retarded line, which becomes evidently terrible as soon as I start to analyse it.
