And one of my biggest leaks I think, is to understand when to 3barrel...
At micro stakes, it's probably better to 2barrel than to 3barrel...is this often true?

I really like the discussion here.
I think Felipe pretty much nailed it with his explanation. Makes sense. Honestly I don't even know if he calls with those suited broadways preflop, but I'm lacking hand reading and range construction skill so...by the way, what do you think is a good exercise to learn those skills? Like the next time I post a hand here should I give villain a range so I can discuss it with you?
So, important things to take note from here:
Barrel with more equity
Preferably IP
Vs wider ranges? (this is meh, because vs wider ranges I will often be with a wider range too in those situations)
Capped range, what is i?

Here I elected to bet althought he's flop calling is probably screaming FLUSH!
So the reg is calling a KJ7ss flop with to bad players to act behind. He doesn't have KK,JJ or 77, KJ is difficult because there's only 4combos left. J7s and K7s might raise the flop, unaware of my range to pot flop, but might just call my bet.
Should I even consider betting the turn when the heart hits? Just because I think that the majoraty of his range is hearts...

Now when he bets pot I'm more inclined to fold then if he would have bet 1.4 or 1.5.
It looks like he wanted to x/r the flop for value thinking that I would bet the flop almost always, but because I didn't he just wants to get the most of his hand/range.
Call the turn and fold almost all rivers?

He is probably thinking that I'm cbetting my entire range in this board so that might be the reason for the minraise. He's repping pure bluffs or the unusual TT that plays like this. I don´t know if he can flat the 3b with AA/KK, he might just 4bet those without any dynamics going on and few hands on me.
That said, I have two overs, a backdoor flush and straight. I call!

I'm getting 28% on the call but this guy is playing passively almost always. Altought he can definitely have AdXd hands and for some reason play them like this.

I'm playing NL10 at FullTill. Try to get some reads on the players you encounter, but just play for value and don't try to bluff. If you want to make some calls like that, just wait to see with what cards they are potting the flop, and then play accordingly.

What is gii by the way?
Aug. 22, 2013 | 10:59 p.m.
When this hand took place he had fewer hands on him so no 3b stats at that time.

Suppose the turn is a small diamond, we just call right?
Aug. 21, 2013 | 11:18 p.m.
Thanks for the answer Hustla.
I'm new to posting hands in foruns but I'll definitely try to improve my upcoming comments using what you said.
He perceives me as a 20/17 reg who plays very straightforward. We don't have dynamics between us. Just trying to play pots against the bad players until now.
He is IP, and hasn't raised any cbet yet. AF% turn 58% (12) river 40% (5).
I have reads on some other regs but not this one yet.
He was a pretty low call open % and a 64% WWSF(33).
Thanks for the help mate!
