This was my second hand at the table, so no reads. But this means I did post in the CO 9 handed, boo for -EV. Ed told me to post early for live games and I got all excited.

did I wuss out on the river, or is this "going for an overcall?" comments on other streets also welcome

I think this is a perfect example of when you are better off overcalling the river. I think that you can't at all be sure about beating MP2, but by calling you may lure in some calls from weaker hands behind.

I think its less "going for an overcall" and more, "crap I'm behind but the pot is to big to fold" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think its somewhere in between.

MP2 shows JQ. top pair no goot. does everyone raise that turn with top pair and the OESD?

MP2 suddenly comes alive on the turn, not sure I would've raised with only a pair, /shrug, then again I know the results before I post lol
