More spew when the turn pairs?

Villain is a standard reg.

Views on barreling the turn because it's now less likely he has an ace?

I'd rather not 2barrel here. The A only helps his range. If he has an A he is never folding, and if he has a draw or pocket pair he's now convinced you don't have the ace. When he flats the flop after calling the 3bet pre, I think there's a good chance he does have the ace.

[Cobra_1878]

Yeah that's not a very good card to fire a 2nd barrel here. C/f

[abelardx]

The second ace reduces the number of Ax hand combos villain could have by a third, from 144 to 96, which is still a lot esp with fishy players who like to play any ace.

[Pelion]

Meh. It's quite a tough flop for him to call without an A too (especially since you block KK and QQ) and the A makes it less likely you have it too. I don't think it's a great spot for a barrel, and I don't think it's that great a spot for a cbet either with such little equity when called. If I decided to cbet here it would be more like $2.80-$3 (but I'm 3betting bigger pre).

[griffey24]

Flop cbet sizing is unnecessarily large. Hands that will continue are very polarized here, and hands that will fold or continue to 3.75 will do the same to $1.85-2.50.

Also vs CO I'm probably fine just flatting KQ here and playing postflop. Unless he's a fish and the value of the 3b comes from dominating him post, or he has a very high fold to 3b and the value of the 3b comes from him folding, then we're just folding the hands we dominate.

For the record, you probably hate playing OOP so much because you 3b ALL of your playable hands right now, so the only time you're playing OOP you have garbage hands!

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm going to play a session in a little while and specifically look for spots where I can just call with strongish hands OOP.
