Default Re: Overcards out of position, too weak?

I don't think you need anything more than just an overcards to bet the turn HU in this pot. But you do need to have a pretty good feel for the opponent, and access if you think his turn bet means strength. There's a good chance you're still ahead on the turn.

I'm not sure I agree here. If you just get a call to a turn-bet you're getting 5.5:1 odds while overcards require about 7:1 if you're against a pair. Plus, w/ the CO limping pre-flop and an 8 and 9 on the board, there's always a chance that aces are dirty if he limped w/ A8 or A9. (If CO holds TJ your queens are dirty too.) If you get raised, you're almost certainly behind unless the CO is aggressive enough to raise the turn holding AJ or AT.
