Re: Overbetting: When to use it?
I like overbets for semi bluffs a lot. Here is an example from a live game I was playing:
Preflop I had around 390 in chips, the opponent had around 500. This was 1/2. I was on the button and he was BB
Folded to me with 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I raised to 12.
BB raised to 30. I called.
Flop came ($62) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] He bet 30 and I called.
Turn: ($122) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] He bet 70 and I moved all in for 270 on top.
I think that holdings like big slick have some fold equity here, as well as Aces, and surely queens. 7/8 is definitely in my range, as well as 10s or 9s, or even 10/9. At least this is what was going through my head I'd appreciate critiques.
I think that the big key to this play, however, is to never do it twice to the same opponent.
