    Default [50nl] HU 3bet pot turn spot problem

    Hero (BB) ($80.35)
    SB ($55.50)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 4, 2
    SB bets $1.25, Hero raises $4.50, SB calls $3.50

    Flop: ($10) 10, 10, 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets $6, SB calls $6

    Turn: ($22) 3 (2 players)

    Total pot: $22

    villain played a little straight forward at the beginning of the match, folding a lot from the blinds and folding a lot of buttons.
    then he started adjusting by 3-betting some of my button raises and started calling some of my 3bets. but no 3bet pots went to show down yet at this point in the match, and i still think a polarizing my 3 bets is still good at this point cos he hasn't really called much yet vs my 3bets.

    so in this hand when he calls my flop cbet, he could have over cards, A-hi and small-medium pocket pairs. then we turn an open ended SD what do you think is the best line here? bet this turn $12 to push him off A-hi and over cards? or should i bet more like $14?

    Well he probably interprets your flop bet as a standard continuation bet, probably doesn't believe you. Bet again on the turn will scare him away most of the time, unlikely he has a PP, but if he raises your turn bet then get out.
    I can dodge bullets baby.

    I don't like barreling for less than $14 here

    Just because you want to 3b a polarized range doesn't mean you need your bluff hands to be some of the worst hands possible HU.

    $5 - $11 - ~$34

    In response to the OP: If you put him on that range the answer is barrellllllll (my favorite move), although I think that he could be slowplaying JT, Qt, Kt, AT or 66 easily.

    Even with those in his range though I likely bet the turn 10-12 then shove the river.
