In general, a turn check raise should warrant a ton of respect...especially coming from someone who 3 bet pre and cbet flop. As far as villian betting turn with his draws and one pair hands...these are ideal hands for a check back after such early street aggression from us, especially since a turn XR is a nightmare for him. Further, his weaker straight and flush draws are not something we want to XR out of the hand, but keep in. We get his stack when flush hits, and fold him out on river when straight/flush misses. Barreling is for sure the best line when it comes to this imo. Him checking behind turn when we can charge his draws further, while also building a pot to take down on river shove on his one pair hands, is disastrous. Now, when river bricks out we either weakly check, or make a bet that will surely get called a huge percent of the time.

I agree with limp, but i'm also fine with how you played it. I think both lines are acceptable, maybe some villian history might dictate which line we prefer? Either way, 3 betting that hand and getting that flop with 100 bb effective stacks....you definitely have no issue getting it in. Now that i think of it more, barreling is for sure most ideal. Villian can XB turn with both his dominated draws, and his pot controlling 1 pair hands...which is not what we want. We want his dead draws paying max value, and his weak one pair hands to call one more time and hopefully fold to our river shove when we brick out, which should be a healthy bet.

What i mean is you can use fully exploitative strategies, lines, bet sizes, etc. without regard for balance, since AT MOST you will play 100-200 hands with people (the average is probably around 50). You can use the optimal choice in most spots, even if this would normally leave you exposed. Perhaps my understanding of GTO play is lacking, but i thought its key function was for you to play in a way that makes you UNEXPLOITABLE ...achieved by sometimes taking sub-optimal lines occasionally and balance being at the forefront. If i am completely off here please correct me and offer up some good GTO stuff that i can watch!
