Hey guys!
This is one of the first hands of the HU, villain is 100/50 in the first few hands (heh) filtered for HU. Seen him on more than one tables, but he didnt seem great earlier.
I usually don't take such a line, so I'm very insecure here. My thoughts during the hand were: Cbetting the flop vs villain is probably good, we have no SD value and he can fold a couple of better hands that doesnt have a pair or a strongish draw. I didnt plan on continueing unless one of my BD draws improves or an A comes.
And there comes the A, imo a very good card to 2nd barrel. I dont expect him to fold a Q but he will probably fold a T (and a 3?). At this point I'm planning on shoving any river when checked to, thinking that unknown def should be folding Q or T there without history.
Questions:
Am I correct to assume this much fold equity?
Is this a good board to 3barrell? What turns would you 2nd barrell? After that, would you 3barrell all rivers or just some? If not all, then what rivers?
Without history, can I expect villain to show up here with 2 pair or better? Could he check/call 3 streets to induce?
Is my sizing ok?
Any other thoughts are also greatly appreciated.

Regards,
akrammon

Personally I will quite rarely do second or third barrels without some sort of outs. In this spot I would just give up turn. Tx is probably folding, but Qx won't. KJ just got there. On river also J9, if vllain likes to call. Anyway when you decide to barrel turn I think river bet is good. Though I would question is shove best line or would bet of 1200-1400 give pretty much same fold equity?

usually an ace is a good barrel card. but probably not on this board, like ghaleon said. KJ gets there. and hands like KQ/JT now have gutters.

as played its a good spot to 3 barrel the river, he cant call 2 pair.

What do you think of river bet size? Is shove best or does smaller bet size have pretty similar fold equity?

I'm interested in this one as well, however I opted for a shove because then it looks like I was trying to get all the money in ... However, then I could've made a bit bigger turn bet.

i think this size is fine. you could even go a bit smaller. its one of those spots where he shouldnt call any reasonable size without a straight. around 60% is what i would go for to make it look valuey and to get a better price on our bluff.
