Default Re: 3/6(6-max): 88 overpair on flop

Your decision on the flop depends on his frequency of continuation bet on the flop. A lot of player will do less continuation bet on the flop against 2 player than against one. If you know he will often check overcards here, a fold can be correct, and also, theres still the UTG player left to act who could have a hand. If he his the type of player who will bet overcards regardless I agree that a raise is correct, but I would like it more to 200 $, as he will be a lot more honest I think with this amount.

You can call too, but you have to balance the cost of raising without more information on the flop without giving a free card, to the cost of giving a free card to a probable 6 out, but then you can invest more money on the turn with more information. The typical player will usually check two overcards on the turn and bet again with an overpair or a set, but it suck when he mix it up with with a check with an overpair some % of the time, or a bluff when a high card hit.

Its a fairly common situation that is interesting, as its a tough spot.
