I hold 8 9 in BBVillain is on the button:Few limpersRead on Button: Aggressive, but slows down completely when you play back. He makes huge laydowns.Flop: 7 10 K Checks around, Button bets ~pot, I call, all fold <was expecting other callers>I don't normally draw on a 2-suited flop, but I had a feeling Button was just trying to steal and figured there were a ton of cards to come that could make villain very uncomfortable.Turn: 10 I check, button checks behindRiver: 9 Now I'm thinking that button has a K, and since just about ever draw hit (except mine), I overbet the pot and make it $100. This is the same bet that villain made against me the other night when I turned the nut straight, bet the pot, villain called, and river brought 3 to a flush. I'm betting for nostalgia, and the fact that I think villain will fold either the 10 or the K to this board.Good?

Yes I like a lot.He will potentially lay down AK here.

umm....what?numbers would help.maybe 4 limpers? making the pot 60 when you bet 100.way too big of a bet.maybe 7 limpers? making the pot 105 when you bet 100.still a little big, seems like you don't want a call. AK definitely calls. No 10 folds.I'd reconsider this play. A smaller bet may be more effective a small percentage of the time. The rest of the time, just let it go.

4 in hand, $20 pre flop.$20 bet on flop + my call.Total pot on river: $60.A person with a 10 and AK will fold in this game, especially this guy.

well then I guess we got our results...seems like a soft game then considering the scared overbet.

if it's that weak, let's put pressure on before unless everyone is willing to call flop and turn bets but unwilling to call river bets.

That was based on previous experiences.Are you advocating that I make a scarier, "come call me," bet, or just checking and losing?
