Push this Overpair?
I know I played this hand poorly. I feel as though I should have pushed, but not sure where. I have absolutely no read on villain as this was my first hand at the table, but I felt as though he was trying to push me off my hand. His smooth call of the PF raise is either big cards/connectors that he likes but wants to see a flop as cheaply as possible, or a big pair that he is trying to trap with. What do you think?

Re: Push this Overpair?
I personally would have played it a bit differently.
Preflop, I would have raised. You're in late position, and you want to thin out the field. Flop - I think it's a bit weak. UTG bets out, unless he's horrible player, you can rule out higher pp and a two pair. He possibly has TP or probably nothing. MP 1 really could have anything. Either way, you should raise to find out. I'd raise to 35. Calling is a mistake here because you do not want to give free cards. If an overcard appears on the turn, good chance you're beat. Turn - you're calling a $35 bet into a $82 pot chasing two outs or drawing dead? This again is a raise/fold situation. River - both players check to you. It's obvious that they are weak IMO. If you think you're behind, just check behind him. If you're ahead, bet at least 1/2 pot to pot. |

Easy river push.

Re: Push this Overpair?
Preflop- I like your play here, calling is fine. You have position, and can bet more comfortably on an all undercard flop (which it did).
Flop- I would raise here (does anyone do anything different?)It's draw heavy, and I'm pretty sure that you have the best hand at the moment. I would raise 15-25 more to get a read on what I'm up against. (again, does anyone bet any different?) Turn- If MP1 leads in to me after I raise the turn, I think its an either reraise or fold situation- if you put him on an overpair, your chasing 2 outs to the river. I don't see the value in calling. River- easy push, as xorbie said. I'm pretty sure that you'll get at least 1 caller, with 2 opponents in the hand. $25 is too small. |

Re: Push this Overpair?
I agree pushing the river here is easy. However, I could see MP1 was weak (he only had $35? left), and I wanted to make sure I got a call, thinking a push would scare them both off, hence only $25.
I was wondering if I should have pushed earlier. |
