when to fold overpairs...?


Recommended Posts

So I was playing some NL holdem yesterday, $0.5/$1 blinds on pokerstars when I came upon my AA. I make my usual raise of 4x big blind to $4. Only got one caller, but better than none. Flop was 37Q, I raised $5. He just called me. Turn was a jack, no flush possbilities. I raised another $5, but this time he reraised to $20.What is the correct decision here? Call or reraise all in? Or fold?Well I chose to raise him all in for another $15 and got a quick call. I got beat by pocket 7s...

I think you fold on the turn here, unless this guy is a really tricky player and even then i'd lean towards folding. You have to think what hands could he be raising me with here that I can beat. The answer is hardly anything unless he's semi bluffing with a straight draw or is on a stone cold bluff. I'd likely put him on jack queen, which would have been wrong but it would still have you beat.

smelled like a slow played set to me with the call on the flop and the raises on the turn....Aces were toast and you have to be able to know when to lay them down after the flop and when not to. That game with such small blinds you will get called by everyone. Thats not the best game to try and beat. Unless you favor luck.

The sudden raise on the turn smells like either a slow-played set or a freshly hit two pair when the J hit. It's very tough to lay it down, but unless you have a read on this player for someone who can overvalue top pair, this is a fold. The situation would have been different if you were raised on the flop, but very few people will smooth call on the flop and then wait until the turn to raise when they only have top pair. Hope I helped, good luck at the tables.
