Not sure this turn bet is gonna generate enough folds.


I don't mind the turn bet - all his 2pair hands are not happy with the turn card, and maybe we can fold out middling equity hands like FD+pair,678,etc. The good thing is if he had a bare flush draw for example we have the Ah so he'd have to call the bet knowing he isn't even drawing to the nuts.


Think I'd prefer 3betting this hand pre but maybe call okay too given min vpip, though that's less of a concern 3handed.

Turn is probably fine to barrel given we've also got a heart and we've got a decent chunk of outs against 2p. Far from a mandatory barrel though as our equity versus a calling range sucks pretty hard.


My default is check back turn because 1) despite it being good for our range our combo doesnt interact with the card; 2) our flop bet grew the pot and thus the value of taking free card; 3) it tells a consistent story when we river a heart and get aggressive.

This opponent looks like an ok candidate to barrel as exploit just on the stats so far. I usually want more but ok I guess.


+1 to 3betting pre since we have an Ace, are 3 handed, and can potentially avoid paying rake by taking it down preflop

Checking back ott

Seems like the main reason we bet otf is because we have the A[emoji3590] and can barrel a [emoji3590] ott
