[MICRO] To barrel or not to barrel

Pre sizing is already too big, if he is tight pre you should just skip 3betting this and just call if BB is big enough of a fish.

Flop sizing bit random. Take a free card ott you really don't want to face a riase.

You think pre is too big even though we're deeper?

Flop is the half pot button which is my standard sizing in 3bet pot. I don't range bet or anything the new kids are doing yet lol(i've even seen recs rangebetting 😆)

My thought process for wanting to bet turn was we get Tx, JJ or worse that called flop to fold sometimes, we get value from worse diamond draws and QJ and prevent them bluffing us on non-diamond rivers. Also build the pot for the times make our hand so river is an easy shove.

and yeah I'm ranging him more than just 99-JJ cos when they cc out of the blinds like this they're usually fish being very bad.

I think check flop is a consideration given it's 3way yeah. Yea raise bigger pre cos we're like 160ish bb deep.

Def checking turn and not trying to knock a station off lower PPs here. Or river. Moreso after they call larger flop cbet.

Probably betting here almost always. Folds some better hand and gets called by a lot of worse hands so you’ll still have some sdv on the river, and the A is an out sometimes. Plus it gets more money in for when you hit the river and the fish doesn’t fold 2 pair.

I have something like a 1/10 track record of knocking BB 3b coldcallers off pairs until i said you know what this isn't going well.

Yeah this is in line with what I was thinking post hand. I've been actively trying to tone down the aggression vs fish or suspected fish though so during the hand I had that in mind along with "it would really suck to get raised here" as Haizemberg mentioned.

So given villain is a suspected bad player he has a mergy range and I would not be surprised to see him bet like AQ or 77 here, so for that reason I don't think it's good to bluffcatch this hand. But that sucks because he should have bluffs we beat mixed in and that's what i hate about checking turn. If he's bluffing correctly with the bluff combos otr we can't bluffcatch so we lose to everything.
