Is this wrong?@ a $5 NL table (Ring Game)... a table of 10.Everyone calls the $5 to see a flop...on the flop a few bet $15... a few fold. Pot is now about $80Someone has top pair or top two pair, or a set.Someone is on a flush draw or straight draw.Is it wrong is over bet the pot by $200-300 to get the flush draws and the straight draws out of there?

You will probably need to give more information.It will depend on stack sizes, position, reads, playing style.My initial response is that you dont need to overbet it that much to give them the incorrect odds to call.

It was my first time at a table, I bought in for $100 and played premium hands, ULTRA aggressive. Essentially, I ended up buying every pot I played simply because people didn't want to risk their entire stack. My stack was around $1200, the average at the table was... between $400 and $600.It was a strategy that seemed to work for me. I just don't want to be a discrace to the game or take the fun out of it for other people, although it was the most profitable for me.

There's nothing wrong from an etiquette standpoint. You shouldn't worry about the game being fun for others in terms of your play. You should try to make money.Here's the thing...if you're constantly over-betting pots, you're eventually going to pay off a thinking player to a huge score. I'll lay down a few hands to someone who is betting huge out of fear of straights and flush draws because eventually I will stack them or double through them.Personally, if you were doing it to me, I'd also push with huge draws. What do you do when you have AK and I go back over the top all in on an A45 board with two clubs? I'm going to make this play with the 44 and I'm going to make it with the 6c7c, which means more often than not, I'm winning a huge pot off of you when you have just one pair.
