2 Hands with overcards...

[OnkelHotte]

Hi Everybody! In many cases i'm not sure, when i should give up overcards after a preflop raise und i'm interested in ur opinion about these hands (I had not enough PT-data to evaluate the play of my opponents)

I would not be backing down on the turn - it reveals your hand to much and if I was playing you I would put you on over cards.

Overcards are hard to play and there is never any set rules

Once aggressive with Overcards stay that way at LEAST until the river

Id usually bet the turn again but it also depends a bit on my opponent.
Theres an excellent section in SSH on overcards that outlines what factors u should be weighing up.

both hands seem fine

I think in an HU-situation i would bet. but here i have 2 opponents on the turn and a 3-connected board with a gutschot SD. thats why i gave it up on the turn in hand 2!
