$55: Interesting trend I've noticed recently

[pergesu]

I find overbets to be a big sign of weakness at the lower limits. For example, three times tonight I limped with jacks in EP on like level 1/2, and some guy in LP would jack it to 215 or so. I had absolutely no problem shoving my stack in, and twice I got showed an underpair and once it was A4.

Same thing on any street. Massive overbets scream bluff and people just hate to be bluffed out. They're way happier going broke knowing that they're beat, rather than losing 50 chips and wondering if you really had the best hand.

If I think my opponent will call his stack off with a hand I can beat, I shove. Sometimes I'm right and I pwn him, sometimes I'm wrong and he folds. I think in the end I get max or near max value, because stacking somebody in one tourney is way better than getting 1/3 of their stack in each of three tourneys.
