Default Re: should i have gone for overcalls?

why do you like betting on the flop?

You have the nut low with any low card that comes off, and some decent backdoor draws to a possible high. Your pot equity is huge here and with the preflop raiser on the button a bet here may lead to a lot of callers between you and the button with the possibility of the button throwing a raise in which creates a bigger pot that you have a good chance of taking a nice chunk of.
