I don't think I would barrel, you're just not in that good of shape and i'd say the majority of hands in his range will continue here. the 2 is probably one of the worst barrel cards imo.

Unless you think he's capable of laying down QQ which would usually 4bet pre, JJ will likely continue as well as TT, 88, ntm hands that beat you.

Yeah I think I agree with this which is why I posted it up even though I won the pot.

I don't think he folds enough of his range to make it a profitable barrell, so what do you think is the better line to take?

If I c/c the turn do I lead the river if I hit?

c/f seems weak for the amount of equity I have but at the moment it seems to be the better option

I think ch/f is best if he bets anything over half pot. You have decent equity but only 8 outs once so your still only about 20% if you count the times your K or J is good, but i'd say if he bets this your overs are likely dead. Also you don't have much implied odds if you hit an 8 or a T he likely won't call.

I would just flat preflop, you are well ahead of his opening range, but probably not ahead of his calling 3bet range.

KJ vs a 50% 3bet calling range is OK imo, he probs flats hands like JQs JT KTs blah blah blah, only Kx we're worried about is KQ as AK will get 4bet nearly always.

I prob shut down on turn as I don't expect much to fold.

Who are you on Prima? I recognise those regs.
