Default Re: 25NL Just dump the overpair? On what street?

I think I would bet this hand on the turn (about $6) and then fold to a well-sized raise. If UTG+1 calls, I would probably consider block betting about $7 on the river.

I think there is not much of a point in checking on the turn unless you've really given up on the hand, because you want to be able to put your opponent on a hand quickly. If you bet, he is less likely to bluff. On the other hand, he may fold his hand, which is something you'll not achieve by checking your hand. If he raises after you bet, it will be easier for you to throw your hand away.

Another reason you don't want to check is the fact that your hand is unlikely to improve, so you want to win or lose the hand before the last card comes out. And by checking you give a free card.

Of course, people are likely to disagree with me on the above. Fact is: lower overpairs are quite difficult to play.
