What does his bet mean

[11t]

No direct read on this individual but I felt his bet of 600 into a 400 pot screamed weakness so this ensued.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP (t3280)
Button (t3745)
SB (t1875)
Hero (t2560)
UTG (t2040)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t400) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2360</font>

Is this pretty typical?

i would fold.

Well, that is the easy way out isn't it /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Shameless bump, am I the only person here who does this?

Am I crazy?

I have the same instinct (or leak) as you. I tend to read overbets as being a sign of weakness. This play is read-dependent to me. If I have no reads, I fold. If the bet is just weird considering the read I have so far, *then* I push.

I definately think overbetting with good hands could be very profitable in some situations.

For example. I flop middle set on a two-flush board. I think I am more likely to get a good player with TPTK to call me when I push instead of bet pot.

It means I'm folding.

I guess its kind of a copout to give a 3 sylable answer...so i'll elaborate bit:

-first and foremost, this pot was unraised, and you got in for free. That scenario alone will put my default setting to "unless i flop monster, anyone who wants it can take it"
TPBK doesnt qualify.

-The flop has myriad str8 draws, and a flush draw. When you see people overbet...what kind of hand to the usually have? ( <font color="white">semi-bluff, or very scared of draws to their big made hand </font>) (in white)

I think here, yeah, maybe TP is best made hand....but there is no way you are far ahead. Being against a draw is about hte best you can hope for. Other possiblilities include small 2 pr, set, 1pr with a draw....etc.

The times you are catching some retard overbetting with MPGK (and are ahead) arent frequent enough to offset the times you are miles behind (vs 2pr, set, overpair).

this is the key for my decision to fold

Yah, when he overbet I immediately thought he probably had a big draw but then I couldn't see why he wouldn't c/r me or just open push the flop.

I dunno, the reason I posted this is because I think I need a solid read to make this play and got lucky at how awful the SB was.

Villain called the push and had 56os if that matters for anything. I just don't get people sometimes.
