Default Re: 400bb overbet (complete LC brag)

My comment was not unfounded. It was, as I clearly stated, founded on the few recent hands you've posted. In any case, in this hand, let's start with the fact that on the flop, with the nuts, against what is very likely to be AA or AK you raise $35 in a $92 pot. As you say, there are deep stacks. Money that goes in on the flop gets multiplied on future streets since the pot is larger.

You say that he is a wide open player so he could have a flush draw on the flop. He could also have AA/AK for sure. He could probably also have an underset. Anything else is most likely folding to a raise. So it doesn't matter what size raise we make in that case. But against AA/AK/underset/flush draw we sure as hell want to raise more than 1/3 pot!
