Re: Weird preflop checkup
The problem is that you're not really getting an overlay when you don't have the best hand. You're just putting a lot of money in the pot behind. You may well get the UTG hand to fold once in a while, but unless the Corkies all miss too, it won't do you any good. And sometimes the UTG is going to actually play his hand well.
I don't want to try to outplay QQ with 88 in a 4-5 way pot for 4 bets.
I'd much rather play the hand for 2-bets in a 6-7 way pot.

If they're retarded enough that I'll get cold-called very often, then I'll be getting a nice overlay, since some of them will have only 1 and sometimes no overcards to my pair. I don't really care if a guy wants to play his 93 suited for 3-bets behind me. If they're only calling the 3 with semi-reasonable hands, then I don't think I'll get called often enough for it to make a difference.
