I like it. The pot is small, you have position, and are against a bunch of 22 donkeys. I would bet the turn if checked to.

There's one problem though, there won't be many safe cards on the turn against so many limpers [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I will bet here most of the time instead of checking. A pot sized bet seems good and hope the turn is not an A or K.

So how do you advocate playing this?

Re: 22s - 99 overpair on flop
 

I see exactly zero reason to check this. There are very few safe turn cards.

Re: 22s - 99 overpair on flop
 

I'm surprised no one is more emotional about this. Your hand is extremly vulnreble, to check is to allow infinite odds for overcards to hit the turn (which they will alot of the time).

I put in an almost pot sized bet as well.

I don't recall advocating that Hero insta-call an all-in reraise. There are reverse implied odds any time you have a made hand. So what? Bet and then play some poker.

For sure. I understand where you're coming from jb, and the flop is really crap for your hand. It just seems like you're giving it up already by checking. Just a really nasty situation, this.
