Re: JJ, too timid?
overpairs suck, and my line(s) are bogus but...
Preflop is $3 a std raise or did you gain some info here?
Flop - I bet the pot with overpairs, top pairs, two pairs, sets in fact anything and everything short of quad A's when OOP. My thoughts are that when you lead into a preflop raiser you have to give a good reason to fold and less than half the pot is just a reason to think he push you off your hand.
On the turn your line continued to smell of weakness so you never get to know if you had the best hand.
Overall I vote yes. too timid. Bet your overpair hard to protect it from opportunistic bluffs and steals. It's easier to let go when a villain repops your pot sized bet and as you were wiling to call his raise on the flop you should seriously have considered betting at least that much to begin with.
