villain is 33/0 over 3 hands so no real reads. Is it good to double barrel here or as played?

I'm good with the f cbet (although <1/2 pot is too low for my taste, as opponent can float with almost anything at this price), but I wouldn't dbl barrel here. We're OOP with no read on opponent, and not much equity on the turn with no draws and no pair. I'd c/f here on the turn. We've also got a lot of chips, and I wouldn't want to put more chips at risk in a spot like this. But let's continue putting pressure on the limpers at every opportunity as we have a great stack to do this, and position on the other big stack at the table.

yeah i should probably bet more, around 400~. i have a habit (most likely a bad habit) of betting less than half pot when i am bluff c-betting so to speak. dont use that against me though if u see me at the tables

No doubt

i shall adjust my bluff cbets

esp against regs haha.

Its weird because when i first started playing poker i use to go for literally 'max value' like even bet full pot against bad players but i guess the more regs i played against the more i saw betting around half pot was more the norm and balanced your bluffs with your value bets and allowed you to get away cheaper when we werre bluffing so to speak.
i definitely need to focus more on the type of player i am betting against...

Sizings could be better but otherwise I don't mind giving up ott. I don't think we have any fold equity.
