Default Re: Application of the overbet?

[ QUOTE ]
As you not only don't have the nuts but don't even have the 2nd or 3rd nuts, I would recommend betting $5-$8.

The arguments I can think of for this move are:

1)The pot isn't that large so an overbet seems like less of a scary thing

2) opponent is very passive, not much fear of him raising here.

3) I often see 30/4 opponents who also don't fold often postflop. It isn't necessarily the case here, but the hand was checked on the turn...perhaps this fish could convince himself you're bluffing.
