Default Re: How far do you go with weak overpair?

If you are folding TT with position on this board to an aggressive villain, then you would be wrong to raise it preflop.

The check-raise is what would worry me? You only beat a bluff, A8, and 99. What are you doing on the turn and river?

After talking to some poker buddies, I think I call this ck raise, when I do that it does clarify, HEY, I have a hand. If he leads turn big I'm going to give it up and make a note to watch his play in the future.

I think he has a set, flush draw, or small pp. I think he'll slow down on turn with small pp and may or may not slow down with flush draw. I think I should call the $50 because the pot is big enough. And then play poker on turn.

Agreed, I am not saying call every time against every opponent. But an aggressive player with a lot of holdings (over cards, flush draw, an 8, or 99), who knows I continuation bet 99%, will check raise in this spot.

Also, I am not calling just for this hand, if I am folding an overpair to a check raise after a continuation bet, then I am folding just about anything in that situation, which is going to open me up to a lot of steals in the future.

If he leads out strong on the turn I am letting it go.
