Default Re: I suck at playing overcards.

I guess the converter screwed up the betting in Hand 1, but I am interested in what some more experienced posters have to say about Hand 2, though. This is a situation that comes up time and time again in 6-max, and I really don't have any idea about how to play it. One of the reasons I don't dabble in 6-max is because I do not have a strong grasp about how to play unimproved overs.

For what it's worth, I'd play the second hand pretty much the same as you did, in the absence of reads. Perhaps if Villain has shown the ability to lay hands down, you take a stab on the river when the fourth heart comes out? But if he can't be bluffed off a hand, I agree with the check/fold. I don't know what you're ahead of here.

Are there any instances where it would be correct to call that bet on the end? Maybe if the guy's a maniac, or to discourage future bluffs against you?
