Default Re: Overpair in position (I don\'t play full ring)

Heh, this reminds me of a hand I played in a live game. Preflop was the same, with the villain probably having similar stats (probably a lower PFR though).

I called his flop bet on a board of 854, called his turn bet when a 6 hit, and then checked behind his cursing check when the river came a 7. He had AA.

Depending on reads, I think your line can be a good one. Some people don't cap without a big pair. That said, that phenomenon isn't uncommon live, but it's not something you're likely to see in an online 15/30 game. So I think your default play should include an extra raise somewhere.

Where? I think I prefer raising the turn or the river. This gets an extra small bet in when ahead, and is less likely to be raised by AA or KK. Additionally, you no longer need to raise if an A hits.

A final thought: if villain will bet all three streets with AK, but isn't going to call the final river bet when we raise at some point, the call down line seems best.
