Default Re: Massive overbet -- is it worth it?

I don't like it very much. You call the turn w/o odds (which is ok in my opinion, definitely player dependent) and then you put yourself in a position to not get anything out of him on the river. I think I'd actually be more incline to check if I think he will bet 3 out of 4 times. Also, you might consider making a small bet to entice a raise. I like either of these options better than open-pushing. To be honest, against these types of opponents I prefer to have them pot-commit themselves and then take their stack.

I like your play if you have been pushing him around or if you plan on using this play for image purposes, i.e. putting him all in every time you have him beat.
