Default Re: Mixing it up with 85s

This is really similar to another hand that was posted, I think it was 75s in the other one. I know that (almost) nobody folds overpairs in 1/2 live, and I have played in these games. With normal $200 stacks this is a fold preflop, you can only call if you expect to have a little fold equity with your big draws. On the flop, I would just shove. If he has AK, he will fold to any raise most likely, and if not he has an overpair and he's not folding at any time. Therefore, if he's gonna call you, make him do it now when your draw has maximum pot equity, and before he can get away from his hand if a club comes off. Make sense?
