Shalara
05-11-2004, 12:13 PM
Trying to improve my play of overcards. In both hands, the caller is somewhat solid, and capable of a laydown if they appear to be beaten. My image at the first is extremely aggressive--very tight at the second.
Am I playing them too strong? Folding or checking too readily? Feedback greatly appreciated.
