Overcards
I don't really like to call with overcards. Overcards play best as a semi-bluff. I like to bet them if i'm acting first or I've been checked to, in a three-way or heads-up pot, preferably with a flop that has little straight or flush potential. I will also sometimes raise with them in late position, hoping to buy the button and a free card. The problem with calling with overcards in a mutli-way pot is that, even though you seem to be getting the proper odds to call, your pair may not be good if you hit it. If you don't play overcards properly, they can be a major leak in your game.
