Re: Playing overcards on the flop
Overcards present difficult problems of the "how good are your postflop skills" variety. I get into trouble with them myself and I'm sure all newbies do. I remember a quote from Matthew Hilger in ITH: "Drawing to overcards is a marginal decision at best, even when almost all the conditions are perfect. Most beginning players will save money by never calling to overcards." I think I might add to that "...much less raising." I know full well that always folding overcards leaves money on the table, but playing them poorly leaves money on the table for everybody else.
