Default Re: When you do not want overcalls

Hi SlantNGo.

This isn't a good spot to apply this concept. Villain might be bluffing, but if he caught any piece of the board (with the exception of the 4 which he might have bet the turn with) you're screwed. The pot is also very small. If you've been content to check it down so far I just give it up.

However, I bet this flop. It's worth taking a stab at the 6 SB pot 3-way with what should be a scary board for your villains. They only have to fold outright more than 1 time in 6 and it's very easy to get away from your hand when things don't go well for you.

When it checks to you on the turn after the flop checks through you should think about putting in a bet. It's likely that nobody has hit anything and you can take down the pot or buy a free showdown. It's also not inconceivable to tricky/LAGgy/clueless players that you slowplayed the flop with a monster or had a K but were afraid of an A. I prefer a turn bet much more than a river raise.
