[Closed] Overpair wrong played?

I had the same problem, until i realized that i don't get any info from my opp. I raise pre-flop, he calls: with what?!. Ragged flop- i bet 3/4 of the pot or even the pot smtms, he calls. Does he have a set? A better pair? Needless to say that i'm check till the end, and even fold if he overbets the pot. Now i just limp with TT,JJ 90% of the time. I'll tell you how it works.

Are we talking about SSS or BSS here?

If you are shortstacked, you should go All-In directly on the Flop if not Pre-Flop in order to protect your hand for certain draws at the turn or river. That's the way I see it Then you do not have any control anymore and that could be an advantage whereas new players could give players a free card for example.

If we are talking about BSS, well you should utilitize the PokerAce hud in order to read his plays.

I do not advice to limp with TT & JJ in late position because it will have a 5 players pot with even more possibilities to have you beat. I tried it once with Pocket Kings, didnt worked out as SSS'er

I don't know if its right but this is the way I play it. Raise preflop, then raise flop when you have the overpair. If there are 2 cards that can possibly help him for a flush draw or a OESD and my opponent calls I check him on the river. If he continues betting most of the times I fold. if he checks he is waiting for a draw. if on the river isn't a card that completes a draw I raise. In all other cases I check, even fold if he raises just because there are to many options that can bury you
for example if you have a flop 9(d) 10(d) 3s(s) there is a flush/oesd possibility, maybe both, 10 10, 9 9, A A, K K, A K, even sometimes 9 10(s), or I have encountered even A 10, A 9, K 10, K 9 who think this is the nuts and just stick with it to the end. In that case any A or K is dangerous to your hand
this is my opinion of course ♦

Hi guys

It's not that easy to answer your question, because it depends on the structure of the board and you opponent.
In general:
Raise preflop is standard.
Bet/raise flop is standard.
Betting the turn is most of the times right. If you get raised there you are very often beat.
On the river I bet if he checks to me most of the times, and call if he bets normally. If I am OOP and bet and he pushes all-in it depends on the odds I get and the possibility that my hand is still good. If you have just and overpair on a very ugly board, fold is often right.

I recommend to post sample hands in our hand posting forums to get a better analysis of each situation.

It depends on the board but you've played pretty much the same as I play 90% of the time.
I 've started to fold all in's on the river with overpair but still it's a 50-50% (my opinion) that your opponent has a top pair with a good kicker.
Often I'm in a hands where on the flop there's 3 players (overpair,2pair and a guy with a set)
I guess that's the main reason why I try to avoid some sites.

Probably a bigger push on the flop would be a nice clue or you can try and limp looking for the nuts.It's really hard to decide,especially when you're on multi tables.
