Default Re: Who folds this overpair?

The thing is, there are no legitimate hands out there that you beat except for JJ, and the slim AT or AKs/AQs of spades. Would the preflop raiser push against two players with something else you can beat?

EDIT: I pushed HasanHabib's blinds twice and got RR'd ALL-IN both times.

Ask this instead. Would he push something that beats you? If he has TT or AA or KK he'd presumably bet something for value or try to trap. If I had any of those hands and got all those calls I'd check the flop and hammer after I had made some more money. Here are some hands that I can see him playing like this:

AK-A8
KQ-KT
JJ, 99-77

This kind of play screams "I have a hand that MAY be good and I don't want to get pushed off of it/OH GOD PLEASE FOLD AND GIVE ME THE POT I MISSED THE FLOP!"

You'll be shown hands that crush you here very rarely.

EDIT: RE: HasanHabib, you don't make two $25K final tables without being wily!
