I'm fairly sure I'm ahead in this spot: I'm only plausibly beaten by AA, which is only 1 combo. So the question is, do I get a better return if I check the flop to give Villain the opportunity to bet worse hands?

What is the reason to overbet push?

Hope to villain having AQ or making hero call with underpair

Thanks both. Nitrol, like Kalecia says. I've seen players call with KK in similar situations. It doesn't make sense, but I think they're unwilling to give the hand up. Otherwise, I'm not expecting to get much value from underpairs and I would be sad if the Villain rivered a set.

Ye bro but you're missing value , you could easily get 1/3 or 1/2 of the pot from udnerpairs on the turn or river or jus x/ship the flop and take more money into pocket in case he bets

That's it- we missed value and value is the reason you play.
