Overbet the flop! JJ

[Andrew Fletcher]

I don't think I raised enough pre-flop, but it was only because I was taking a piss and almost wasn't in the hand at all.

I know the flop overbet is sort of vulgar, but, I dunno....Does that turn check ever mean anything but "I have a draw. Please be nice."

Flame away.

The flop overbet was either way too much or not enough. It nearly put him all in anyway, so why not let him have it if that's your chosen route?
I only raise to 1/2 or 3/4 pot on flop, this hand as played is a call, but it's better to avoid this by proper pot control versus villains stack.

I was worried about the other player, but your point is well-taken.

Dont over bet as much, and fire on the turn. As played, instacall and hope for the board to pair so you have a lock, but even if it doesnt, I think your good here.
