Overbetting: When to use it?

[Smart Money]

a question concerning overbets: assuming i flop a big draw like overs+ flushdraw or better am in position and one guy bets into me, is a open push the best move here? I've seen this a couple of times and wonder if it's the best solution.

oh yeah, i obviously don't mean pushing 100bb into a 5bb pot or something, more like into a 20bb pot for example.

It's generally opponent-specific. It's definitely more +EV against your better "thinking" opponents.

Whereas against your typical muppet of a calling station who has top pair/sh.1t kicker you're often better off just calling down and hoping to hit, because your fold equity is far smaller- but you'll still get paid off if you make your hand.
