    I deleted my initial reply to this because I'd probably get banned.

    With that in mind, c-betting the flop is fine.

    He's such a station on a semi-drawy board that it seems a cbet just helps him fold about half his range of hands - all ones that are beaten. You get no information from cbetting, and help him play more correctly.

    That was my thinking, but maybe I should just standard cbet this muzz? His range is wide enough that this is value town, even though all the relevant draws are in his range? Dunno, that's why I posted it. I'm trying to get a handle on board texture where it's inadvisable to cbet overpairs.

    We bet because

    a) We want to price draws
    b) We want to bet to protect
    c) Get value from hands we beat

    We have an over pair on a FD board, the fact you didnt cbet or bet the turn or river means u missed a whole lot of value. I'd like to add that Ts is probably good on the river.

    What kind of 9xx board would you NOT value bet with TT? Or what kind of villain? Or is this auto-value for you?

    I think he'll call with lots of hands that you beat. I don't like the PSB though; more like 2/3 is what I would do on this board.

    I usually cbet unless the board is very drawy. If you don't, it gets harder to cbet other times when you miss the flop.
    Sue me if I play too long....

    This is auto value, if I get c/r or he calls and leads turn. Then I'll have to engage brain more.

    Why are you not cbeting, trying to trap or something. I just totally don't get it.

    Overpair + loose villain + drawy board = value

    I also 1/3 pot the river.

    I'm working on a huge leak of playing too agro early and trapping myself. So I'm trying to learn restraint/pot control etc.

    But I've plugged most of my horrible spewtard lines, and was moving down the list toward less total donkness. I was just wondering about playing med pp's that end up as overpairs on small, drawy boards. If it's auto-cbet, cool. We'll all return to normal and go overthink something else.

    :P

    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    The fact that he is a calling station only adds to the fact that you should be c-betting this flop. Sure he will be calling with the majority of his draws, but he will also be calling with weaker pairs, whiffed overs, etc. You are ahead here a good majority of the time, therefore bet for the reasons muzzard stated. Not only do you make him pay for the draw, you get value from his worse hands, while "protecting" your hand.

    Fwiw, I'm c-betting nearly all of my made hands and strong draws against this type of a villain. I'm probably checking behind and taking a free card with my whiffed overs, and weak draws (because he will still pay you when you hit your weak draw on later streets).
