This spot comes up a fair amount... Is it good to fire 2nd barrel here as board looks super scary or does villain actually have the hands we're repping too often?

If we do bet and villain flats do we give up or bet blank rivers too?

Villain 26/20 over decent sample.

Don't think villain has many flushes here - blockers on board + he raises the flop with a lot of the draws as they're either nut or combo draws. He obviously doesn't have a massive hand OTF. So I don't mind it, but I think c/c is probably okay too.

Not a good spot to double barrel imo.

Turn helps his flop calling range a lot.

Just my 2c.

x/c seems like the worst possible option to me.

If he's 26/20 over a decent sample then you must have some other kind of stats/reads on him?

Just a x/f for me though readless.

Ugh, yeah, forget I said c/c. Didn't really consider a lower end for his flop calling range.

Maybe a c/r because he can never really be nutted here and we can.

If we bet it's of course turning our hand into bluff. I would be c/f if you guys don't think 2nd barrel is good.

c/r and shove river is pretty interesting but you'd have to have a strong read that villain is thinking enough to fold straight.

I was mostly curious as to whether this was a good 2 barrel spot in a vaccum. I probably shouldn't even have put villain's stats there.

Hell no this is not a good spot to 2nd barrel as that card improves so many hands of his.
