I hate my play with this overpair OOP

[Idiotex]

Fold the turn. I don't see a nit multi-barelling with overcards.

Raising the flop sucks. Fold the turn.

You say that with such authority that I am willing to take it as gospel, but would you mind humoring me with a rationale?

Why would you want to turn your overpair into a bluff?

Why would you want to build a big pot oop with a marginal hand?

Why would you want to allow your opponent to effectively play perfectly, folding all hands that beat you and calling/raising all hands that have you beat?

Unless you're c/r'ing like 15% of the flops from the blinds as part of some broader strategy that he's aware of which might allow you to felt here, the c/r just doesn't accomplish anything.

With a marginal hand oop that's slightly ahead of his range, protection isn't a big concern, nor is value and you're almost definitely not getting value out of worse hands against this villain with that line anyhow.

I'd rather c/r the turn if I think he can fold an overpair than c/r the flop.

c/c flop lead turn is also a better line imo though it's pretty transparent.

As a general rule, I think c/c flop c/f turn is the best line against this guy.

At least that's how I see it. I'm certainly not an authority though, else I'd be posting in a different forum. : )
