you are allowed to bet more than the pot sometimes, ya know

way cool.
however, your post reads like it is some official standard 2p2 line - which it is not. i tend to overbet pot when stack sizes are awkward, or on the river for xtra special value. overbetting here is ok, but betting pot is certainly no mistake.

This is a beautiful spot to overbet the pot. We're going vs 2 opponents, OOP, if both sit with draws out there, they get a good price to draw if we put out a more modest bet.
Overpairs will still call/raise, we'll still go broke vs better hands, TP/two pair still call, and we get more money off draws (who most likely will call), overcards think "wtf?" and may be tempted to call to find out/get lucky, too... So overall we get a lot more value.

Good post.
