Hi guys, first post over here, heard a lot of good things about the place so hoping I can learn a few things here and maybe help out some people myself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
My first problem is with one of my most common things Ive found reguarly causing problems in my game, that is firing the second, or even third shell. I posted a thread over on carplayer AKo Hand where I basically posted a pretty generic hand. I raise PrF from EP with AKo, miss a fairly standard flop with a f.draw, cont bet and get called. So I fire the second shell, which is quite a big bet at this point (20BB)'s and slowly, get called again. River blanks and I get stuck with a monster pot and AK high, stuck wondering whether my opponent has a busted draw. ----------- The consensus of the responces was that generally, not only should I not fire the third shell, firing the second is usually a bad idea. This is something I do often, apparently too often. I was just wondering if the consensus here is the same that it's generally a bad idea to fire the second shell OOP when you've missed it all. If so, Is this only because it's microstakes? Would 0.25/0.50 make much difference? |

post hands! Against an unknown the answer is very rarely second barrel.
Post a hand with a particular read you had. |

Guy had only sat down 12 hands or so ago I am UTG+2 and make it $1.25 with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Folds to the Cutoff who calls, blinds fold. Pot is $2.85 FLOP: J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I bet $2.20, CO calls Pot is $7.25 Turn is 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet $5, CO thinks for a while and calls Pot is $17.25 Turn is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] --------------- And I asked what my play was given there are a lot who play QJ/A8/A9 like this and a lot of busted spade draws too. |

ok. well you turn bet is a little small and at this point it sounds like you smelled weakness and the flush missed so I guess shove.
I would never second barrel here without a read. The 9 changed nothing. The only thing he may fold on the turn is an 8. But he isn't folding a hand like 10 8. Anyways in order to ever fire a second barrel you need as yourself questions. how often does this opponent call a flop bet how often does he fold to a turn bet How does he play top pair How does he play a draw Is he aggressive did the turn card change anything? and many more. If you decide it is likely he will fold. then bet |
