He'll call once with all of these, then fold osme of them on the turn, then the rest on the river, and obv this it hugely profitable coz he's often gonna fold with half his stack already committed. If he doesn't fold, we can make a note that he'll call us down w/2ndp and can print moniez.
Everyone seems to disagree with me, but I havn't got a clear answer as to why.
Plz correct my thinking.
You're essentially saying, I'll barrel him and see what happens. Worst case scenario is that I'll barrel him, he'll call and he'll show some bs hand like 89 and we'll be able to print money value betting him after that.
I suppose in general this is true. Or you can not barrel him, but pay close attention to this table. Watch as somebody else chooses to barrel him and see what types of hands he called down with. You can get this same information without losing a reasonably sized pot yourself.
Furthermore, a lot of times he'll call down and beat you with some sensible hand like AQ or something, or river two pair or a flush and call down, which gives you no information at all about his fishiness or tendencies.
