That not a read. It's a fact. V was highly intelligent and had a Master's degree. "Highly intelligent" doesn't describe his poker playing. It describes his mental makeup. Dude was wicked smart. That's undeniable.

thats a bunch of BS... you can, you just can't barrel every V. V's at these levels have 1 of 2 major leaks.
1) they call too much
2) they fold too much
figure out which Vs are which and act accordingly.
Yeah, this is what I'm trying to get back to. A year ago, I was double barreling and triple barreling much more frequently. Part of the reason I made the play in the OP was that before the session, I mentally committed to making at least one double-barrel bluff and at least one squeeze play during the 8 hour session. I might have forced this one a little bit.
I just need to refine it and use it more wisely. The next time I do it, I'm going to make sure that I have position and that I have some chance to improve my hand on a later street (even if it's a backdoor draw).
When I first came on the forum more than a year ago, I remember an experienced poster making a comment that "double-barreling is printing money". I didn't believe it until I started doing it. I stopped doing it because of bankroll concerns. I need to start doing it again though. I just need to pick my spots more wisely than this hand.
