How much more careful do you guys play with your overpairs when you get involved multiway? It seems like when you get 2 callers pre-flop and on the flop that you are about doomed to lose your stack (should they have a 2pair/set) if you bet the normal 4-6BB's pre-flop & 2/3-PSB on the flop. How do you usually react on the turn once you've built a ~50BB pot vs. 2 opponents assuming no obvious draws have completed?

... it depends.

What is my position?
Are opps reasonable or nincompoops?
How strong is my overpair? Was I the preflop aggressor?

Typically I will play out my overpair with the working assumption that it's the best hand until betting shows me otherwise. Note that this doesn't mean that I go crazy either...

I also tend to raise a fair number of hands prelfop (~ 10%) and tend to cbet them as well. This probably affects the way I play overpairs and how I'm perceived on the table.

If you get to the turn with a ~50BB pot vs. 2 opponents and you are OOP betting strong then a push from a full stack (which would be the classic monster line) won't even be a minraise. Against 2 opponents I feel pretty suspicious with both calling my flop cbet, and I'm wondering how others approach the situation.
