My initial thought was (before looking at the post) that it is a spew, given the question has been asked. Let me go look at the HH ...

Ok, confirmed ... spew.

I don't hate the 3-barrel here, but do find it spewy. A line I like better is bet, check, bet.

Yes, the board is very draw heavy and I can see how a line like the one you took has merit, but given you have position, you need to make this work for you. You do have a combo draw with overs on the flop and a CB (continuation bet) here is perfectly fine. I also will throw a delayed CB at this board against some opponents, preferring to check behind on the flop and CB on the turn ... or if they lead, raise the turn. The K is a great scare card for this.

SO, my two lines would likely be bet, check, bet or check, bet, bet if you're determined to take down this pot with air. I'm rarely trying this 3-barrel approach. It's too high risk for the stack size.

I think is spew too, but a your line thinking and action was good, aggressive but it was good.
cbet is ok, because you raise pre flop.
on turn i guess you thought steal the attractive pot.
on river i guess you thought the villain have flush draw or str8 draw and missed, any bet here higher bet turn u take the pot.

Fold pre-. Although you ended up being in position on this particular hand, that's not what you should expect. Relatively few flops will hit your hand hard, so most of the time, you'll either whiff, flop a modest made hand or flop a non-nut draw.

It's a turbo so you can't sit back and be too tight, but is it really a good idea to go out of your way to play mediocre hands that don't flop well and where you'll be OOP quite often?
