Re: Overbetting the pot all-in
I think you bet thhe example hand OK. The turn made your hand but also put two flush draws out there so betting the pot is fine. You want the player to make a mistake and call your bet with a draw and not push him out here. The river pairs the board giving a slowplayed set a full house ( I see players slowplay in this spot with a set all the time) so your bet on the end is spot on to get caled by a weaker hand or raised by the full house getting you out if you've been outdrawn with just minor bruising.
Overbetting is IMO best reserved for those times you have a perpetual look up artist on the line who will call just to see if your bluffing with Ace high. And of course as a bluff, when you have a weak tight player with a probable overpair who will buckle under pressue.
Someone will now rip this post to shreds and I will humbly beg forgiveness for presuming to reply.
