i'm beginning to see these huge overbet all-ins frequently. Do they usually represent a strong hand at these levels?? I really debated folding this on the flop.

Shove after re-raise PF.

As played, shove flop.

If there had been a flush draw out there, I put him that plus a queen. It's pretty common knowledge these days, even amongst the donkfish, that OESFD + overcards is a good hand. Thing is, there's no flush draw. He has something you beat like KQ, QQ, or garbage, plus stuff you don't beat like AA or KK. He almost never has AQ here.

You can push preflop, although it's not mandatory. When the flop comes K-high you have to get it all in. Folding TPTK heads-up there is wrong at that buy-in.
