Hey guys, first time posting . In this hand I wonder if I should of double barrelled the turn or not, I think one of my primary leaks is playing too safe and not going for the good turn/river bluff spots (if this eaven is one) . The opponents were very loose but if they had a piece of the board I probabbly cannot get them off of it since at this level people are insanely sticky. my ace did give me some equity although very slim which makes me think it just improves the spot.

Anyways thanks for any feedback!

Let's take a step back and examine the flop play first. Any particular reason why you chose to lead out OTF out-of-position? Just seems like QJx will squarely hit limp ranges, and not to mention there are a lot of high-equity draws against our pair of sixes (KT, for instance, has 13 outs).

I suppose if I was going to randomly stab the flop like you did then I would continue with a barrel OTT since it's a scare card and I suppose we can rep KQ and KJ. and possibly push vill(s) off of Qx/Jx/77-TT (though they would probably raise PF with those pairs). If my barrel gets called OTT then I'm going to probably shut it down OTR.

Barreling these hands in the early levels is spewing chips. Don't waste your time. In the early levels your focus should be on getting full value from your big hands.
