Default Re: Good overbet?

Given the number of outs, you're probably a favorite in the hand. Wouldn't it be better to induce your opponent to bet into you after making your hand? There are only 6 blinds in the pot anyway -- do you really want to push your opponent out of a smallish pot as a favorite?

Depending on your table image, etc. I think a "post oak" bet of 25% of the pot or less might have an interesting effect. If he folds, you lost nothing except maybe an induced bluff (remote). If he reads it for weakness and raises, THEN you push. If he calls and bets the turn, then it depends on pot odds and the turn but you probably semibluff-push then.
