I suck at playing overcards.

I feel like this happens all too often.

I hate it. I am completely lost when I don't catch a pair and/or can't push Villain off their hand. I know betting the river is unprofitable, but I feel like check/folding when OOP is so weak, and that others take notice, and bet weaker hands against me when I raise PF, bet flop, bet turn, and check the river.

These hands have been killing me lately, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.
