Barrel

To barrel is to keep betting on a later street after betting the previous one.

A bet on the flop and again on the turn is a double barrel. A third bet on the river is a triple barrel.

Good cards to barrel on are those that help your range more than your opponent’s, such as an ace or a king after you raised before the flop.
