Villain is around 27/20, a big winner on the highest games on Party. I have no history with him, he prolly has no reads or stats on me. What do you think of this 2-barrel?

would probably like it more if you had a few more outs, but at least this way you don't have to stack off if he c/r's turn, lol.

I think if you are going to bluff, the size you chose is probably about optimal. I'm not sure whether I'd choose to bluff, but I think its decent. Depends on your image against him, I reckon. If you're unknown then you probably will succeed more often here than you would if he sees that you have aggressive stats.

this looks OK to me

Yeah he ended up having a hand and CRed all-in on the turn, but as long as he sometimes folds as well it oughta be ok.

I try to understand this hand :

Normally i would say villain has 88-JJ here but if he is a big winner on the 5k NL tables and if he knows that we are good handreader then he has to fold JJ on the Flop. He is on the third level. Am i right?

What Range do you give him?
What do you do in place of villain if you has JJ?

I think i would check behind this turn and try to level villain. At 1k NL against an average winner i would bet.

I have to say that I have absolutely to clue as to what he had. I was hoping that since we had no history I could get him to fold anything less than a pair kings by firing the turn. I guess AA and KQ would be his most likely holdings, prolly QQ as well. I am only occasionally taking shots at the 10-20 tables so I'm not a reg there.

fine 2barrel spot just didnt work out this time he had a hand
