Re: lost with an overpair

i dunno how much i like this "you just want to take it down becaue there's 1/4 of the deck that's kinda scary." homey needs chips. homey needs to put aside fear sometimes, and let people draw with cruddy odds. if all else fails, raise enough to committ youself.

I think this is a key concept. I've gotten over the fear of throwing all my chips in with what might be the second best hand with outs. But I have difficultly doing the opposite (i.e., putting in a "proper-sized" raise and letting them make a bad call). As a result, I push too much and get into "win small, lose big" situations.
