Default Re: Definition of overcall

Basically overcall means to call behind someone who already called.

In this case player B was pretty sure he had the best hand, so he "went for the overcall" thinking it was more likely to get a call of one bet from player C than a call of a second bet from player A. He got it when player C made the overcall. Or, perhaps B thought C would raise, then he didn't get what he wanted when C just make the overcall.
