ewwww on the overlimp preflop with 3 players left to act in position


what does that turn bet accomplish? Bet more or don't bet at all

river is good if you were going to call anyway

don't play suited connectors like this OOP...hand went bad preflop

Pre-flop is fine.

It was min-raised before him.

The only street I hate is the turn. Bet more or don't bet IMO.

My thinking was that I was still ahead of overpairs. You guys are both right that the turn bet should be bigger. What would you suggest? $45? Pot? Push?

Push is bad, you allow villain to make a prudent fold of anything you beat that you want action from. I'm leaning towards 45-50 on turn.
