Double Barrel better than check raise?, $200 NL
Villain is bmxreed46, 18/14/2.5 over 200 hands. Is double barreling this turn better here? Or check call / check fold depending on bet size? I think villain is definitely capable of floating here and also capable of folding a marginal hand like some random nine.

Re: Double Barrel better than check raise?, $200 NL
this is a pretty good flop for villain to float. This turn is great if he were floating so a c/r cant be too bad. On the other hand, if he shoves on you calling is spew/it sucks because you just put in $100.
i think betting again is better as that way you dont have to put in 100 to have the desired effect. |

I guess my logic was if he is floating with air I win more with a check raise, if he has an actual hand I have more fe with a check raise bc it is a lot stronger than just leading. If villain has a marginal hand with showdown value I get a free card and a decent shot at a likely 15 outer plus some possible scare cards. Downside is it gets a lot more expensive when villain actually has something he likes and I can't fold if he shoves. I'm just not sure how to weight all this versus villains likey range and action to determine which is better. |

Re: Double Barrel better than check raise?, $200 NL
this isnt about saving money by double barrelling instead of c/r here its more can you or have you done this with big hands before. Unless proven otherwise vs most regulars this is almost always a decent draw type hand and rarely and overpair. You usually dont want to risk going c/c on the turn on a lot of boards so u usally bet the turn. If he floats a lot and isnt a decent hand reader this is fine otherwise id expect him to look u up with a hand like 66 here

Well I would do this with an overpair sometimes but villain doesn't necessarily know that.

I don't like it in general, like it less against him. Also, I doubt that you play overpairs on this board that often vs someone like him.
Maybe against a bluff happy idiot with no concept of pot control but not him, not on this board. Also, he has TT-QQ, maybe 88 here a lot and he's pretty much never folding except on the rare occasion he dumps 88. |

If hero double barrels here what rivers are we all triple barreling since the board is so draw heavy and villain can probably call semilightly.

Re: Double Barrel better than check raise?, $200 NL
You can definitely rep a big hand here if you've taken this line with overpairs before. I like the play, but whether it's better than a 2barrel depends on the dynamics between you and the villain.
