You could get quite a few better hands to fold, sure it will take more than 1 barrel but that's just the way I roll
#EmptyingTheClip.
If you cbet and all pocket pairs call, 10-x and other 2nd pair rubbish an barrel a QJKA or club turn and do again on river be hard for villian to call down as we turn up with top of our range a lot with this line if he heroes then well done him but they couldn't snap.
This is another really lazy remark. It's actually really easy for him to call down when you barrel those turn cards considering that you just said you would cbet like 80% of your opening range, resulting in you making it to the turn with far too many combinations of hands, drastically unbalancing your range.
I'm not sure why people think that c-betting is the only (or best) way to play loads of different parts of your range. Before ever making a bet (or any other action) you must consider what that action accomplishes.
With a bet we either want to be betting:
A) For value; A bet which can be called or raised by worse hands or bluffs.
B) As a bluff; A bet which makes worse hands fold.
C) For protection or to shut down equity; Neither a value bet nor a bluff, just a bet which protects a weak value hand from the equity of hands that won't continue (not relevant here).
In this example, we don't accomplish any of these things to a relevant degree; No better hand ever folds the flop and no worse hand ever calls the flop (at least not a hand which doesn't have significant equity vs our hand to such a degree that we never realise our own equity).
This romantic notion that you can just bet 3 way on a board which smashes peeling ranges and just barrel any overcard may have had some credibility in 2003, but it certainly doesn't in today's ecosystem, ESPECIALLY against two competent (one significantly more than the other fwiw) villains. This kind of lazy attitude to our actions on each street will result in not being able to beat the games.
