Kinda deep hand - overbet
 

Villain is loose passive postflop. He would never lead the flop with a hand better than mine. I know he will chase a spade draw, and he'll check/call with Ax, two pair, and a set. I interrpreted his weak river bet as a cheap showdown play, or a stupid valubet with Ax (he has two pair now!). I've been 1-tablign and playing fairly lag, but I doubt anyone has noticed. Thoughts?

I like it. Villian seems willing to put money in the pot, this is perfect time for overbet.

So, what are my other options besides calling? Raise to $50 and fold to a push? But I never know what these guys will do on the river when there is already so much money in there. I didn't feel I could fold to a push here, so I just shoved and hoped to get a call.

Results: Villain instacalls with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J and my hand is good.

Why would you want to fold this? Only "reasonable" hand that beats you is AA?

Re: Kinda deep hand - overbet
 

I like the push. I think this is something I need to do a lot more often. I have been raising to 30-60 here thinking they are more likely to call only to see them call and turn over a weaker Jack, a flush or fold. Basically it seems clear that you have to raise and somebody thats going to call a small raise is going to call a big raise so tax the kusty.

Re: Results
 

It never even crossed my mind to fold here. The only reason to raise to 50 I think would be that you thought thats the most he will pay off but I can't put him on a hand here that pays off 50 and not a push. To call 50 I think he has to have at least a Jack, flush, or weaker boat - all of which I think will call a push. If I'm behind here I happily throw away my stack.

NH I'm suprised he called. I've missed these overbets 4/4 times today.

Exactly

I like the push. At lower stakes players seem to think that a push means a bluff.
