Hello,

This is indeed a situation when a lot of beginners do struggle - when to fire a second bullet and when not.

Nowadays, people don't fold a lot against cbets, so just cbetting once won't be a good plan in most of the scenarios

Basically we have to bet the turn again when:
- the card improves our equity - it gives us some sort of a draw or a pair or so.
- it improves our fold equity - for example it is an overcard on the board, it finishes a possible draw (flush draw for example) and we have enough flush draw combos in our range, etc.

Of course, not every card that gives us equity or is an overcard on the board is a good card to bet.

Overall, it's quite a complex thing and you can not learn it in a few minutes, or hours. You have to work on it quite a lot.

So now, having those things said, what do you think of your hands here? Are these spots good to second barrel?

Best,
Plamen

hi
i think in the first hand maybe its good to fire a second barrel
because our equity was improved

the second one
i dont think it is good to fire a second barrel because it is a blanc..

Cool, no we are getting somewhere.

I like your thinking here.

#1

Turn improves our equity, also it is now going to be hard for him to call Kx/Ax, and even 99-44 => bet.

#2

Turn is pretty much a blank here. We are OOP and unless we think we are capable of making him fold Ax, I dislike the bet here.
