Re: final table facing overbet with TPGK
 

I think you're ahead more often than you're behind.
Three-handed, I'm having a difficult time finding a fold. A7s, Kx, 56.. all possible here.

I think on the button you should bet more than 2.5bbs. You offere the BB too good of odds to call with anything.

True, he is daring the BB to call, but I think this is a pretty good time to do that. Stealing the blinds isn't particularly meaningful in this case, and KQ dominates a lot of hands that opponents will be tempted to play from the BB. You will have position, with a good hand. Not a bad time to encourage action.

i was open-raising for 2.5x every time i opened from the button regardless of my hand. i like to keep it small so that folding to a pre-flop reraise is not too painful.

Re: final table facing overbet with TPGK
 

If im raising this flop im planning on calling or getting it all in on the turn. I would decide on the flop if i was in or out of the hand. The turn issue can be avoided if you think farther ahead and get a plan.

i was planning on raising the turn all-in or betting 3/4 pot if he checked, which i did not think he would do. i had not thought ahead about the gigantic shove.

what does that mean? you splash around with hands that you could get pushed off of?

I play...kinda weird weak tight kinda super aggro in some spots. I'll raise/fold a lot, check a lot more than most people, rarely fire a second barrel, etc. and it gives a lot of LAGs the impression that I can be pushed off a hand. So I see a lot of these flop CR's/turn big bets or overbet combos, and I just call them down to see them drawing dead or with some second pair almost every time.
