Strong hand facing river overbet
 

Villian seems fairly loose but decent. He's 29/13 after 221 hand. We played a very similar hand to the one below where i checked behind on the turn with a strong hand, he overbet the river and i paid him off (he had a set)....That's all i know about him though.

Bump

Okay, since i haven't gotten a response yet let me post a couple thoughts. With no read i would quickly call this river. The wrinkle here is that i have noticed villian overbet in a similar situation and he had the goods. So i have a read based on 1 hand. Is that enough to allow me to laydown this hand?

Re: Strong hand facing river overbet
 

If he's thinking about the game, I would be more inclined to call this time. Unless he is thinking on the 3rd level, and figures that you will call again.

the goods can mean different things to different opponents ....in this case, it can definitely mean a set. hero checked behind the turn when the flush card came, almost a sure sign of weakness to almost any villain.

Yes, but why bomb the river w/ a good hand if you sense weakness?

Anyway, the overbet is disconcerting, but I would pay off anyway. its worth noting what he has in the future, too.

I think pf-&gt;river were played very well too

fold. If he has the Q, hes not betting like that. If he was If he has 99 or something, same deal. Only thing he could have been on is 4d5d type hand, missed his straight. But if y he's on that, he probably bets turn if hes going to bluff.

push

Re: Strong hand facing river overbet
 

I'd fold. As stated earlier, the straight draw is the only hand you beat.
