Having trouble with overcards

[Bobby Digital]

Out of any hand on the flop overcards always give me the most trouble. I'm still struggling somewhat to get out of the weak-tight mindset.

Raise the flop, check or bet the turn, bet the river?

Raise the flop &amp; go for a free card on the turn. Hopefully your raise will shut out the button, and everyone will check to you on the turn. If the turn misses you, check again. Someone will the probably bet the river. If the river hits you raise. If not, fold.

Don't bother betting the river after multiple callers on the turn unless you have a good read on their play.

Take the free card on the Turn. No reason to raise the Flop or bet the River.
