Default Re: (55) Calling a turn check-raise all-in with an overpair

bleh

That raise sucks.

I think there are two ways to play this man.

1. Shove the flop. If he's got a queen or a flush draw, he makes a huge mistake by calling.

2. Call the flop. wtf could you possibly have if you call the flop after you raised preflop? AK with As? An overpair? HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE and will most likely put you on a whiffed AK. So you play him soft here, soft on the turn (just call or check behind) and stack him on the river. Assuming, of course, that you don't think you're beat.

You made a sweet cash game play on the flop. If he's drawing to a flush and has only 9 outs, he's 4-1 against and is only getting 3-1 on the call. But that sucks for tourneys because little mathematical errors don't benefit you nearly as much in a tourney as it does in a cash game. He only risks his buyin, so who cares if he makes a small mistake?

You don't have time to capitalize on small mistakes. Force your opponents to make HUGE ERRORS for their WHOLE STACK.

So you decide on the flop if the guy will call off his stack with a weaker hand. A queen is a lot more likely than a flush draw, you can't just assume the guy lucked out and flopped a draw. So either shove the flop if he'll call with a Q or TT or something like that, and if not, play him soft and just value call him down.
