NL25: 3rd barrel?

[stabbyah]

No reads on the guy. Just that he instachecked flop and turn and I was absolutely sure that he was on a weak ace but didnt know if he was a donk or not to fire the 3rd barrel.
Do you guys think i should have bet the river?

i think you should've given up after flop cbet

edit: and i don't think he's folding to a 3rd barrel

In my book thats an easy turn open fold ;p, I have yet too see someone besides me folding an weak ace at this level. No need too bluff him off that ace as you will stack him with a10+

i think it depends from opponent to opponent.
in that case, where he is a unknown i would sometimes make a second barrel but most of the time check behind and give up.

if you know that he can fold a weak ace, i would make more 2 barrels and very few 3 barrels.

because, which hand calls 2 big bets and folds often enough to a riverbet?
