Overpair on paired board....

[bigredlemon]

Presuming you raise pf to 4-5BB with a big pair and get called by an early/mid limper. Flop is something like 355 or 66T rainbow, or maybe even 2suited. You make a 3/4 pot bet and get c/r about the minimum. You both started with ~100BBs.

Presuming typical villain with something like 50/10/2, whats your line?

check behind the flopppppppp

you will get called on your value bets on turn/river by almost ANY pocket pair after that

plus you lose less if he does have trips

Push.

Seems like conflicting opinions...?

I'm sure there's never one easy choice, especially given this situation, so I was wondering what people had success with.

Another option is to 3bet and fold to a raise. Check the turn and make/call a small river bet.

But say you have JJ/QQ
If you check the flop you are taking a big chance of seeing an overcard on the turn.

I guess this is a pot control vs. hand protection consideration.

Against an opponent who is able to C/R with air, I think a check behind is in place.
Against a passive player, bet about 3/4 pot.

Check behind sounds good, but as previous poster said, what do you do if an A or K falls while you're holding JJ/QQ?

[pokernose]

Against the typical villian, I bet the flop and fold to a check raise. It seems that most of the time that I call down the check raise I get shown trips at the end.

Check behind the flop. WA/WB, you don't want to bloat the pot early- try to get a cheap showdown.
