Default Re: Overpair on paired flop.

Why do you think a ten is not out there but 55 is? If I were looking at this action in third-person I would be terrified of a ten.

How tight is the thinking player? That he thinks doesn't help us very much.

I think your flop bet is too small. If you were really bluffing or were weak, would you bet 44 to encourage someone to come over the top?

If you are seriously confident you have the best hand (which I am not convinced of), I would push the flop. Too many cards you hate to see on the turn, esp. against two players. If they both have lower PP's you will not know if they fill up or not and will lose your stack. A heart or overcards also could cost you the pot. Against 1 opponent you might call, but with 2 I don't think you can screw around. Hopefully they will put you on a flush draw+overcards and make a marginal call with 77, which is more likely with your image.

p.s. I would have bet more to begin with so that if I pushed here it wouldn't be an overbet.
