Default Re: My overpair vs ....?

On the river your only options are push or check/fold. Pushing is always better than check/call since if he has a worse hand you extract the most value by shoving, since there is a chance he will call, but if you tried c/c he will check behind a worse hand almost always ... If he has a better hand both c/c and push get you stacked the same.

Furthermore, you cannot check/fold the river getting 3:1 when the only realistic hands that beat you are A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Therefore shoving the river is standard IMO.

Your turn bet seems a little pointless, I'd prefer a check. I think you are really screwed on the turn. I wouldn't even bother trying to bet out any draws, it's a minor mistake to give a 4:1 draw a free card but a big one to commit yourself against a made hand.
