Tight UTG raiser with a range of something like TT+, AK raises, you call with 99, flop comes down 842r. What's the difference between 99 and 77? Sure, one is technically an overpair, but they play the same against his range (like dogshit I might add, so this is probably a bad example). I guess my point is that a hand like a midpair doesn't have to flop as an overpair to have some playability. And that just because you flop an overpair, doesn't mean you have a big hand and situations like this are often very terrible reverse implied situations, like the example I gave.
