Re: Continuation Betting - Part One
[ QUOTE ]
good post.
What types of players (I guess what stats) do you find is best to 2nd barrel with? I think a lot of us could do 1 or 2 BB/100 better if we (at least I know Im included in this) were better at picking our spots for 2nd barrels.

Weak tight players obviously, but a lot of times this decision is made by the texture of the board.
Let's say the board is 79J with 2s. He just calls your continuation bet in position. The turn is the Ks. What can he call you with if you fire again? He needs a big hand. Now let's say he does happen to call you again and you see at the showdown (he is never better the river without a huge hand in this situation) his hand was marginal. Next time, what is he going to do if you fire the third barrel on the river? Call away his stack with JA? He basically can't.
Also, floaty players who are calling you thin are ok to double barrel. However, other than a few standard situations, this is a loaded question full of specific factors.
