Message: [QUOTE="Joe, post: 6126621, member: 193663"] Hi Mark, This is a great question and a topic which deserves careful consideration! Considering (by your own admission) you have felt lost in these situations, your assumed strategy of re-barreling 50% of the time (at a loss of knowing how to proceed otherwise) really wasn't a terrible tactic under the circumstances and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it worked about half of the time! Funnily enough... :laugh: :wink: Most, if not [I]all[/I], topics within poker strategy are highly situational and this is no different. We always want to be assessing our situational foundations and then moving forward with our decision making process with those factors in mind. Having done the aforementioned, for me, the most important components here will be; [B] 1) our opponents playing style[/B] How have they been playing? Do you have any notes, reads or experience with them? How often will they fold? [B] 2) board texture[/B] How wet is it? Is it scary? Is it better for our range or their range? [B] 3) our range Vs their range[/B] This goes hand-in-hand with texture but we also want to be conscious of whether their line is congruent with our expectations for their range, if it isn't, that can be indicative/telling. [B] 4) our table image[/B] Have we had many bluffs tabled recently? Do we look like a nut pedlar instead? Whatever is the case, be aware of it and use it to your advantage. [B] 4) position[/B] As always, position gets a nod and, as always, we're stronger in position than out of position. You've already received great responses with good advice, I was hardly left with anything to offer (besides for echoes), but hopefully through the responses here on your thread next time you'll feel a little more confident regarding how to evaluate whether it's a good or bad spot to double or triple barrel! :wink: Kind Regards, [/QUOTE]
