Double Barrel
Making a continuation bet on the flop and then betting again on the turn. Double barreling applies pressure on opponents and represents continued strength. It is most effective on turn cards that improve your range (overcards, scare cards) or when your opponent's range is likely weakened by the board texture.
Example
You c-bet the flop with A♣K♦ on a J♠7♦3♣ board, and your opponent calls. The turn is the K♠, giving you top pair, so you fire a second barrel.
