Default Re: 2NL - I\'m terrible with Overpairs...do I just bet here?

The idea of SPRs in PNL is that when you hit your target, or are under your target, you ARE committed. You dont fear any hands from your opponent, you simply try to get the money in the pot in the way you deem most likely to succeed in getting the money in per the situation. So, in this situation, you want to raise preflop to something reasonable, say .10, which leaves you at ~3:1, and you're 2 bets from all in. Dont look at the flop and think about how he could have the straight, or maybe he flopped a set, etc. You're committed, saddle up and bet/raise. You might lose one or both opponents along the way, but playing aces passively is burning money imo.

You might want to try Phil Gordon's "Little Green Book." It's less technical and easier to absorb quickly.
