Default Re: NL - unimproved middling overpairs (best line in theory)

[ QUOTE ]
Pants, it applies here does it not....A) when I have the best hand and I want to get one bet out of an inferior hand by allowing him to bluff into me.

In the situation described a PP is still likely to be the best hand unless villains raising range is really, really tight. You therefore c/r to trap his c-bet. If he calls or pushes then its clear you were not ahead on that occasion but I don't think it makes the play -EV.

Perhaps. But I feel this is a way ahead/way behind situation. And in those situations, it is generally better to keep the pot under control. He may very well call a c/r with overcards and if one hits on the turn, you are in a bad spot.

I'm with Doyle Brunson on this one. I think c/r is overused and expensive in the long term.
