Re: (60) TT overpair in EP
[ QUOTE ]
Also, check call flop, lead turn and fold to a raise is a pretty good way to find out whether he has an overpair bigger than yours.

Not to ignore the rest of what you said, but this seems to contradict "the cheap way" approach you're advocating. Check calling and leading is not going to be cheap and you're finding out (maybe) if he has a bigger overpair at a much higher price. At L1 I want to keep my losses small and not go deep figuring out where I'm at. I think a lot of the time, AK will flat call and they are already making a mistake by doing that, and if they fold, great!
If we're talking about maxing value and then talking about being lost to a PF raiser, I want to mitigate between these two...IOW, know right away what kind of strength I am dealing with, but take down a moderate pot a lot of the time. For L1 this is a great way to mitigate bewteen risk and reward on a hand where you're either WAWB.
