early overpair ($6+.5 turbo)

I raise flop to about 300 instead. The 250 raise is pretty small for a multi-way coordinated board with that pot size. After he 3-bets, I fold. This is a set/straight/2pr like 99% of the time.

When someone small leads and then sticks in a small 3-bet it's a monster almost always. Remember this line, it'll save you money by folding here everytime.

I folded pretty quickly.
Just wanted to make sure it wasn't overly weak. Didnt know if anyone called the small raise to see turn action.

results:

turn was 10c it went c/c
and they got it AI on a 3h river


UTG+2 had a5hearts
SB had j9 hearts

On that flop with a small overpair, you have to decide to felt it or not. There are too many scary turn cards when you may be ahead or not. If you feel you are ahead, then jam it in there right now.

That is one of the worst played I've ever seen. Usually their hand will be much stronger. Although actually does have more equity than your hand at the moment, they should have bet and then 3-bet all-in. The small 3-bet is so awful for their hand.

I was thinking about it, it isn't that horrible of a play (even though he may not of intended it in this way). With no fold equity (most people will never fold an overpair and the other guy limp called a reraise), make sure that nobody folds and get as much as possible in the middle with your strong draw.

Not the way I would play this paticular hand, but if you are going in on a draw you might as well make your payoff if you hit as good as possible.

He has a strong draw, but if all-in from the flop it will only be the best hand at showdown 52% of the time against an overpair. With a strong draw you really don't want to have to be all-in on a 52/48. I mean it's okay you are, but it's certainly not the best outcome. The reason the bet-3bet all-in is best with a combo draw here is because you now can also win right on the flop with some fold equity. This makes your play significantly +EV. When the turn blanks, you're now only 31% to win by the river.

It's much better to get all your money in on this flop with a combo draw and it isn't close. The only times I would fold a big combo draw here is if I had a solid read I was against a set or straight. Otherwise, definitely trying to get all-in on this flop.
