A good triple barrel and end of break even swing?


Hopefully my break-even/down swing has ended with a nice session yesterday. It probably looks like I took a shot at NL2000 but it was a 4-tabling session with 2 NL600 tables and 2 NL400 tables. I was just running and playing insane hot and won like 8 buy-ins in less then 2 hours.



The hand below is the perfect example of a situation were triple barreling works a lot of the time. The board and opponent are perfect for this.

He calls my CO raise from the BB and when a pre-flop agressive player does this, it's a small PP a lot of the time. As far as queens go, the only possibilities are KQ/QJ and as I have one king and he is also re-raising KQ some percentage of the time the chance on KQ is a lot smaller.

Just like the hand from yesterday this is a board where I expect a call from every PP on my c-bet and therefore I'm probably firing about any turn.
His range for C/C this flop is probably 33-88 (99+ re-raise pre-flop) and QJ/KQ (AQ+ re-raise pre-flop)

*** TURN *** [2s Qh 2c] [4s]
Mickey__Knox checks

This 4 doesn't change the board at all. It only helps one hand in his range (44) and I expect him to fold a lot of his hands when I bet here.
When he calls I think his range is 55-88 and KQ/QJ.

This is a great river card to make a triple barrel. It is a card that probably never helps him (QT is a very small chance) and he knows that when I'm betting 3 streets for value here the worst hand I will be doing this with is probably AQ/KQ. So when I bet here, he only beats a bluff.
And his problem is that his cards are pretty much face-up, because on this board and with checking 3 streets out of position he never has a better hand then KQ here.

Uncalled bet of $122.00 returned to BldZwtTrn
