TPTK/Overpair against tricky players
I seem to get into alot of trouble here.
Against players that slowplays alot I usually bet to much on the turn leading to a big pot. I bet about 75% on the flop and then about 60% on the turn. But against a solid player isn't it better to bet less on the turn for pot control? He called the bet on the flop so he has something. I am thinking about betting only 33-40% on the turn against TAPs. That way they get about even odds if they are drawing. But because that there is quite likely they are sandbagging I don't build a big pot. An example: You have KK UTG and raise to 5*BB. A TAP calls. Flop is QJ3 2 hearts. I bet 75% he calls. He is known for slowplaying. Isn't a 33% bet alright here on the turn? Because usually when a TAP calls the flop he has you beat but not always. |

Re: TPTK/Overpair against tricky players
If you think he is drawing, go ahead and bet pot. Check/call river.
If you think he might be slowplaying, check/call and bet/call river if he checked the turn. |

But often you have no clue if he's drawing or not.
If you have only played 100 hands against a guy and you have seen him slowplay twice you don't know if he chases or not. |

Re: TPTK/Overpair against tricky players
I would prefer c/c or c/f to a 1/3PSB. There are 3 reasons to bet:
1: To extract value from worse hands 2: To fold out better hands 3: To offer your opponent incorrect odds to draw Your bet does none of these. |

Ok say that you check.
And he bet pot size. Do you call then? What about a 50% bet? |

He could easily do this with a draw...my standard line is pot bet.

Agree, some of these TAP chases the turn and then folds.
But if your potbet on the turn gets called I guess its best to ch-f to any reasonable bet. |

Re: TPTK/Overpair against tricky players
This is very opponent dependant but if he is truly TAP(say 15/6/1) I would strongly consider folding because a passive player doesn't bet a marginal hand on the turn, he will gladly check behind with TP or a draw. If he's less passive(say 15/6/2) then I call and block the river. JMO

Re: TPTK/Overpair against tricky players
Riverblock is 50% right?
And fold to a raise? |

Re: TPTK/Overpair against tricky players
It's an amount a worse hand can call but only a better hand can raise, I know kind of vague. I vary mine from 30%-60% depending on opponent. Sizing blocking bets is always tricky for me.
