guess i was afraid of his overcards sucking out on me. would you recommend calling down and acting on the river if i put him on such a hand that hadn't hit?

just seems like asking for disaster in an inflated pot.

If an over card comes on the turn and he doesn't react then I might be more inclined to raise planning to fold to a re-raise or check down the river. If nothing hits and he keeps bloating the pot I just keep calling.

My plan with an overpair when a villain starts betting is to get to a cheap showdown. Unless I have AA or KK I really do not like pushing with a TT-QQ hand here. You can build a nice pot that you can get away from if villain wakes up. Also, this a potential WA/WB situation. I tend to keep pots smaller when I do not know which end of the spectrum I am on.

Again, I don't really hate your raise. You have to balance several competing factors in a hand like this. It's more important to have more than one tool in your toolbox to choose from in this type of situation.

ok, thx for the advice and i'll try to keep the pot control idea in mind. definitely an aspect of my game that needs tweaking.
