I am a micro/small stakes MTT player and I am working on improving my game and I am noticing a strange phenomena and I was wondering what other people thought. I follow a lot of the same C-bet thoughts as I have see in the vids, however I don’t seem to get a respectable fold percentage. I am however seeing that if I two barrel I am getting a lot more credit. I was wonder what peoples thoughts were on two barreling. I know it is a potentially dangerous and costly activity especially if I am wrong. Can’t wait to hear what folks think. Thanks!

I’m feeling this too.  Nobody folds on the flop.  Start questioning even trying to steal pre with marginal hands in the mid game because people just don’t give up.

 

I think two barreling is good when the turn card is something you can represent.

That is what I have been finding. Things feel more like getting into the pot, floating virtually any flop (as opposed to using the C-bet to take it down) then trying to represent the turn card in a favorable light. It just seems so dangerous to me since turn bets (of 50%-66%/75%) tend to be extremely large. Any of the pro’s have any thoughts?

I have had really good success with the delayed c-bet.  I will check back alot of flops, then if checked to on the turn then fire.

I think we are definitely seeing a trend – one that we are possibly getting ahead of.  Bigdog’s vids opened my eyes to this.  Floats are working a lot more than i expected.

 

Let’s keep it within TPE.   Laugh

I’m with you on staying within TPE on that one. Floating is interesting as a play with this, it definitely does frustrate opponents and for a while I was much less likely to double barrel. But not expecting more floats it seems to make things a lot more profitable to double barrel and really make opponents think about their hands.

I’ve also check-raised flops with air as a way of cbetting.  Don’t do it too much but it did work a few times when I took down bodog 😀
