"Playing overs"

[Lucere]

I've seen over buttons at bigger cardrooms before, but I've never seen them used.

I just want to mention that overs can change the dynamics of the game quite a bit. In a 10-20, 20-40 game, it can cost $10 BTF to so see a river that may have $40 betting. This can change the whole culture of the game.

Hands such as TPTK that would normally be value bet on the river in 10-20 may become sitting ducks in an overs game. It's wise to pay constant attention to who is in the pot and how they've been playing--fish who like to draw may wake up and find themselves playing correctly.
