3barrel boards

Hi! I would like to have an opinion on type of boards that u would comfortably 2barrel and occasionally fire till the river based on ur own results and experience.
Would appreciate further analysis and explanation behind ur proposals. Thnx in advance!

Ok ill go first. I like 2 barreling paired low boards oop cause people like to flat with anything otf. (In position i think its far superior to check big aces inducing oop turn bluffs that cant continue otr.)

what does otr stand for??

Im not an expert on all these acronyms but im guessing its "on the river".

Now for this thread topic.. For me it really all depends on my feel for my opponents. Doesnt have too much to do with what is on the board. Now when the board is paired on the flop that is usually a decent time to try and make a move. And also really depends on how much they bet on the flop. I may just call the flop bet and try to raise them on the turn depending on their bet size of course.

You gotta be careful with this though because it may get you into trouble.

John A. from Leakbuster/Poker Zion posted this video a while ago, it is about profitable and unprofitable situations to double barrel, and i think a couple of the hands talk about possibly triple barreling. It's a good video, and definitely helped me to start understanding good and bad situations.

what stakes?

That video is from 10nl i think. They usually cover higher stakes stuff, so was nice to see a micro vid.

To vague to answer.

Really depends on the villian. In general though you fire boards you rep well; ie: A high or K high boards.


For example; regardless of your hand if you 3bet pre and somenoe flats and the board comes A,8,2 this is a great board to fire. Depending on villian, you might expect to get floated wide with random hands which includes middle pairs but if you already prepare yourself to fire good turns, like a K or Q for example is a really good card to put more pressure on as villian is really going to struggle to call with random 8x middle pairs etc.
