Overcalls?

Second hand in this table. No reads.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls.

Flop: (12.50 SB) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 folds, BB folds, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls.

Turn: (8.25 BB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 raises</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Should I three-bet? My thinking was that if I reraise UTG and UTG+1 could fold and I would miss bets. So I just call to keep them in because my hand is so good.

River: (16.25 BB) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, Hero calls, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds.

And I, greedy bastard, go for overcalls but that didn't worked out. Maybe I should raise and hope that UTG2 will give me action?

So when to go for ovecalls?

Final Pot: 18.25 BB

Hey Rock,
I don't particularly mind the turn call, but if you do this, you must raise the river. On the turn, the draws will still call you, but after they miss, they will check fold the river. Who knows? UTG might 3bet you with his trip tens and you can cap /images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

I raise this river. The flop maybe has a straight draw out ther, and they're folding the river anyway, so raise the bettor on the river and squeeze an extra bet or 2 out of him for being so fishy.

Now I realize I just echoed what Jaran said. Doh.

Thanks Jaran and Hack!

Yep, I should have raised the river.
