Chronic Overbetting

[Finite_Risk]

Lately I've run into several players who seem infatuated with overbetting pots - like 4 limpers....$1.50 pot...guy bets $3 on the flop.

I don't know what to make of this.

Most often this seems done by the 35/10/5 PT stats players so it could mean anything.

I cant seem to get any reads cuz it takes down the pot most times so cards arent shown

Example from last night - 4 limpers and I limp on the button with KdQd

Flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Chronic overbettor leads out for $3...folded to me...I do what?

Thoughts on these kind of players?

call...see what he does on the turn.

These guys are typically overbetting because they want a fold.

so i guess i should over bet when i play against thinking players?

would bad players think along these lines too

Is he overbetting pot on turn too? If so I would decide if my hand is best now and re-raise or fold. I would probably wait until he shows down a hand to see what you are dealing with before I start makeing re-raises though. It depends on how chronic the overbetting is.

Call and let him dig his own grave...

i see this a lot with TPNK trying to take the pot uncontesed.

i call flop, and probably call a reasonable bet on the turn...

Why would you limp here with such a strong hand? Raise pf and you will have a much better idea what to do, and more likely won't be faced with the overbet.
