Default Re: Overpair vs push

Checking the turn keeps the pot smaller and more under control. Sure the villan may have a lone 7 or 8, or some sort of marginal draw. But I'm willing to sacrifice the possibility of that draw in order to keep the pot smaller.

Betting the turn= bloating the pot, and by the river, you don't want to be facing a big bet with your one pair.
