This week’s term is barreling. In poker, barreling refers to “firing” successive bets on postflop streets (e.g. flop, turn, river). This term is most often utilized in instances such as, “He fired three barrels into the pot”: meaning that the player bet on the flop, turn, or river. Within this same context, a double barrel is a player betting on two consecutive postflop streets, typically the turn and river.

Barreling is oftentimes synonymous with bluffing or when a player is trying to extract value from an opponent who fails to fold a marginal hand.
