This looks like a very easy double barrel situation.

I read that quote in a thread in the micro limits section. What's a double barrel situation? I tried googling it, no avail. Is it similar to a semi-bluff?

[LordBrun]

It means betting again on the turn here.
I guess you could say its like a second continuation bet.
Im not completely sure tho.

A double barrel is bluffing on two consecutive streets. A triple barrel would be bluffing the flop turn and river.

This is not something you should do very often if you're playing low though.

A second barrel doesn't neccisarily mean bluffing right? Just making a 2nd continuation bet.

You can double barrel or double barrel bluff. I've never thought that the term double barrel has to refer to a bluff.

BTW - You ought to have ways of identifying players who call C-bets light (i.e. float a lot). With these players you should C-bet less and fire double barrel bluff more when you do C-bet on whiffed flops. They will very often have hands they cannot call a turn bet bet with. Most players C-bet too much and don't double barrel enough.

Ok, but the posters above who replied to my question wrote that a double barrel is a bluff on two consecutive streets.
You however seem to distinguish between double barrel bluff and double barrel (of the non-bluff kind). So, what would a double barrel of the non-bluff kind be? Value-betting on two consecutive streets?

a second barrel is your continuation bet not on the flop (first shot), but on the turn (second shot). i forget if it is only considered a second shot if you're betting without receiving any improvement from the turn card.
