Overpair trouble - #1
I'm in the midst of a bad downswing which is causing me to play very poorly. It seems the more I lose the worse I play. I see-saw between being too passive and too aggressive.
Been having trouble playing overpairs lately - both in position and OOP. It's gotten to the point where I get dealt AA and get nervous that I'm about to lose another big pot. It seems like everytime I play an overpair too passively I let someone catch up and outdraw me and everytime I play then too aggressively I get stacked by a set. I'm going to post a few hands to see what I should be doing differently. Here's one example - I get AhAs in the CO and open for $50. BB who I know to be somewhat loose calls. Flop Jh 3s 2d He leads for $55. I call? Turn 3d - He leads for $100 I call? River 7d - he leads for $310.... I suck. Anyone raise the flop and check behind on the turn? Anyone raise the turn? Is the river an auto-call / auto fold? |

Re: Overpair trouble - #1
Def raise the flop, use this for information. It is cheaper than what you did, and you have a better idea of where you stand. I would fold here to a 3 bet

Re: Overpair trouble - #1
i'm raising to 250 which is almost a pot sized raise, if he calls this, I'm probably checking the turn, c/c a resonable size river bet and would probably fold to the push, just my .02

Re: Overpair trouble - #1
i wouldnt beatyourself up about this hand, against aggro opponents i play it the same. this is full ring, eh?
because it's CO/blind "steal" scenario i may raise the flop to give future flop bluff raises some credit, but on a hand to hand basis raising the flop leads to alot of trouble. (Generally) [ QUOTE ] Anyone raise the flop and check behind on the turn? [/ QUOTE ] thats one way to play it [ QUOTE ] Anyone raise the turn? [/ QUOTE ] not with AA here, unless he's bad enough to then call the raise w/ Jx... (and not put unneeded pressure on you on the river..) [ QUOTE ] Is the river an auto-call / auto fold? [/ QUOTE ] yea, autocall. |

Re: Overpair trouble - #1
Raising the turn and checking behind on a non ace river is a solid line as you charge him to draw to the flush. If he pushes the turn or leads into you for a healthy bet on the river you have to lay it down IMO.

Re: Overpair trouble - #1
I raise it to 175-200 on flop. A bad player will re raise and you can release it. A good player will go for check raise on turn, so you check behind. Call moderate sized river bet.
The problem with how you played it is that a donk might read that for how "someone" plays AK and really jam it on you with his top pair. Then maybe you fold best hand |

Re: Overpair trouble - #1
Because, in Lucky's lines, you are folding to a flop reraise or huge river bet. So if he overplays a pair of jacks, you sometimes fold the best hand.

RESULTS
Villain had AdJd for runner runner flush.
I think raising the flop is probably the best play - but if Villain had called I don't think he was going anywhere after picking up the flush draw on the turn. |
