Re: should i have gone for overcalls?
You played it fine. I’d have bet the flop, tho.
If you bet and two opponents call, for example, then you are risking 1 bet to win 1 bet for low in fresh money, whereas you will make a low on the next card 26 out of 45 cards. So you’re bet is usually EV+ on its own. Add in some times that others fold, and that your backdoor draws come in for high and its probably worth betting.
