Re: Weak Overcard Play
[ QUOTE ]
My experience at Party .5/1 is that you will in fact fold out people who don't connect with the flop a lot of the time. Enough times that with only two other people in the pot this is almost always an autobet. When you get 5 or 6 callers and the flop misses you I am more likely to check but not with only 2 callers.

Maybe Bizzaro PartyPoker. I almost never see anybody fold to a single bet from a PFR on the flop. That said, it really is read-dependent, and it's close. I was mostly criticizing the "this should be an auto-bet" sentiment...you shouldn't ALWAYS bet ANYTHING.
And, to the poster that said you should bet because you don't want them thinking you have overcards, a) that presumes that they're thinking about what you have, and b) that they aren't going to assume that you have overcards, regardless, because that way they can continue with the hand. I don't think either of these things are going to be true > 60% of the time.
