Today's three barrels..

[Ash256]

Opponent seemed like a decent TAGG. I've been experimenting recently with firing more barrels rather than just giving up after the flop in an attempt to adjust to 50NL. The 2/3 buyin is because I have $750 br and I don't want to play 20NL.

He insta-checked and insta-called both the flop and the turn, which made me put him on a stubborn pocket pair which rightly believes that I've probably missed that flop, or a set. I figured that after two streets he'd have shown strength with a set and that he couldn't call the river bet with a stubborn pocket pair.

Also, I'm wondering whether this is a fold PF UTG, because as you can see, playing OOP fucking sucks.

Cheers guys.

If i had a nickel for everytime someone made a thread named "Today's three barrel"...

That being said this is bad because a lot of his range is looking you up

I don't like bluffs without at least a chance for a yahtzee card (e.g. gutshot or hit a set/fh) on the turn or river. I play the same on the flop, but I check turn and pretty much give up. If villain calls flop in a raised pot, he's usually calling turn. You are much better off shoving the turn then betting $8. Your river bet seems kinda pointless on such a dry board -- it's a 2/3 PSB and villain has called at least that.

And top that stack up to 50, or move back to 25NL. Bluffs from non-topped stacks are not as likely to work on me. I see 2/3 stacks like that as "Easy pickens"

After the turn is called you definitely need to quit. If villain folds here, he is simply awful and you need to play as long as possible with him.
