Default Re: Overpair, is this a WA/WB situation?

Generally speaking, you can expect that trips or a full house would not bet into you on the flop (especially at lower limits as they ALWAYS slowplay) and that his most likely holding here is a pocket pair looking for protection or something like 88 who wanted to see the flop before investing. His turn donkbet is usually a made hand trying to prevent you from taking a free card with something like A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Remember, from villian's perspective you have either a big unpaired ace or an overpair. Raise it up. Since you didn't raise the turn, you absolutely positively must bet the river. Most likely he is now afraid that you hit the flush and is hoping for a free showdown.

Also, be careful not to misuse WA/WB. For a hand to be WA/WB, there must be close to the same probability of each. In this case, you are almost always way ahead.
