Re: Playing overcards on the flop
[ QUOTE ]
is having KQ on such a flop better than having AK?
many micro limit players call preflop with Ax, and here our ace outs may be doomed if one of the villians have A9 or A3. doesn't this make it easier to fold AK at the flop?

I've read that. If you're playing the overcards as a very weak draw then hitting an Ace may be no help at all while a King may be a clean out (subject to the usual caveats about flush draws, etc.)
I just realized that part of my problem is that instead of treating overcards as very weak draws I'm treating them as semi-bluffs or even a weak made hand. Semi-bluffing at micro limits actually works sometimes (to my surprise) so I seem to be net plus acting this way...so far. I'm trying to cut back on this now. Maybe there's an overcard patch like a nicotine patch.
