stars $100, final 3 tables. plans to CR foiled by confusing overbet?
this happened a few days ago. im sorry as i don't have exact information as far as how many left, but i believe it was like 21 or 22 left. 1st place was 8k. we have hardly seen any flops in last half hour. play was fairly standard and no notes/reads of any significance. preflop was standard? is this a good spot for a squeeze? im not sure what my exact plan was on that flop. should i be leading out here? checkraising? thanks for any and all comments.

All in.
Most people are not overbetting AQ/set here because they want to get value from their hands. Expect to see TJ/club draw A TON |

Re: stars $100, final 3 tables. plans to CR foiled by confusing overbet?
I definitely like a lead on this flop. It accomplishes two things: you get to see what "Grinder" does, and you say to any PFR with brains that you have a hand; if he comes over the top, you can fold pretty confidently IMO.
This is the kind of board that makes me very uneasy. I am definitely NOT eager to stack off here. If I pick the pot up with a flop bet, great. If I get called, reevaluate the turn. If I get raised, fold. |

Why is it that if he made a normal bet (representing X amount of strength) you were planning on check-raising but when he made an overbet (representing less than X strength) you decided to fold?
It seems like you were more willing to get your money in when you had a lesser chance of winning the hand against his given range |

isn't this the type of hand where preflop you have to make a decision either you are willing to go broke with that hand or not? [/ QUOTE ] With 2 pot sized bets left you will never be able to get off of a flopped pair or a flopped draw. You need to decide if you are playing for stacks before you call pf. |
