[10NL] 77...Fire again or give it up?

Interested in the comments here because this is often a double-barrel for me depending on timing tells. If villain snap calls flop then I'm done with it and if he pause/calls the flop then I'll barrel as long as he isn't playing a huge amount of tables and isn't a station. Even ignoring timing tells, I don't think a barrel is too bad given villain should fold out the middle pps we lose to and we get value from flush draws, which is more than half the combos that call the flop imo.

Well, it's certainly a texture where I'd sometimes spew-barrel this kind of hand.

Yeah, I think we can fold out some stuff we're losing to, but as for getting value from draws my concern is getting to showdown - I don't think you get to showdown enough vs. the draws that call the turn to make a barrel good for value here, I do think it's more marginal IP but OOP I think it's bad.

Given that OP is utg, villain can have JJ/QQ/AK hands (which we wouldn't expect cold calling in other situations) and none of those hands are folding the turn.

Also I agree that FD's call flop and turn, but this is really only beneficial if villain will check bricked draws back when we check river. If he's calling FD's and will bet river when we check that's not the greatest situation. Is our plan to go bet/bet/ and c/c with most of our pocket pairs on this board? Being OOP sucks clearly.
