Yo Shaw-

This hand is boring (there is no way in hell you cant bet this flop)

and you need to bet this river like 1000% of the time

Yeah, you're right. I will try to find a more exciting hand to post! I think I have one where I held 99 and the board came 944. The SB held KK and was a little miffed when I dragged in a 24BB pot. Nevermind - that hand was boring too. I'll keep looking. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just meant that sometimes we overanylze simple hands (I do it often)

Why did you check the river?

Where in SSH does it talk about checking an overpair through on the flop? I missed that section.

I checked the river because sometimes I'm an idiot. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

SSH doesn't talk about checking overpairs through on the flop. There is a section starting on p 160 though "When a Raise Will Not Protect Your Hand". I twisted/extended some of the logic in this section to apply to flop bets as well as raises, though I was probably wrong to do so.
In my particular hand callers get at least 10.5 to 1 to call my flop bet.
The whole concept of waiting until a later round to raise seems uncomfortable (I prefer the more natural "bet when you're ahead" approach despite screwing up the value river bet) but I am trying to learn like the rest of you on the forum, and then apply it to my game.

Nah - I didn't take your post the wrong way. Overanalysis is one of the things I'm good at too!
