According to poker theory, yes it is an overbet. The actual mistake filled play however I've seen on 25NL suggests that a $1 raise does little to thin out many hands. I need at least $1.25 to thin most people. For some reason at small stakes people just think "eh, another 75 cents isnt much" and call anyway, but a $1 or more additionally seems like too much.
do you play much 25NL? At higher stakes I stick to the 'basics' more, but at 25NL there are too many calling stations not to 1) thin people out if you have AA or KK and 2) take advantage of calling station mistakes
