cracking overcards

[oreogod]

I know I still have problems with overcards...AK, AQ and KQ. While they are showing profit, Im sure Im leaving some monety on the table or throwing too much at other players.

Hand 1
Had 5 hands on this guy. He showed down two of them and lost (he mucked those hands so I dont know what he had). So, my IMPRESSION of him was loose player. But again thats over 5 hands.

Anybody fold or keep pushing?

Hand 1 is a fold on the river I think. What hands are you beating?

v.s. a Lag, I bet hand 2 on the turn and check behind on the river.

Do u think the turn bet of hand 1 is good or so so?

I think the river in Hand 1 is an easy fold.

I'd also c/call the turn. Yeah, you don't want to give a free card to a flush, but you need to consider the risk/reward. Since any hand that is NOT a flush draw is likely going to raise you, you risk a full BB in exchange for...

1BB*(chance he has a flush draw)*(chance his draw doesn't come in ~ .8)

So the risk is greater than the reward.
