    Default Playing Overcards

    Hi there

    Hopefully someone can help me with this hand. I play 10NL (doing ok, but there's much to learn...), building my roll for 25NL. I'm often quite unsure how to play overcards, especially against opps who tend to call a lot.

    Sadly, Everest Poker is not recognized by the FTR HH converter, but I hope I made the log readable:

    UTG+1 is at seat 0 with $1.75.
    UTG+2 is at seat 1 with $20.70.
    MP1 is at seat 2 with $3.01.
    MP2 is at seat 3 with $15.42.
    MP3 is at seat 4 with $10.90.
    HERO is at seat 5 with $12.28.
    Button is at seat 6 with $9.90.
    SB is at seat 7 with $8.31.
    BB is at seat 8 with $2.07.
    UTG is at seat 9 with $5.51.

    SB posts a blind of $.05.
    BB posts a blind of $.10.

    (HERO is dealt Ad Qd.)

    Pre-flop:
    UTG folds.
    UTG+1 folds.
    UTG+2 folds.
    MP1 calls for $.10.
    MP2 folds.
    MP3 folds.
    HERO raises $.35.
    Button calls for $.45.
    SB calls for $.40.
    BB folds.
    MP1 folds.

    The flop comes ($1.47)
    3h 2d 7s.

    SB checks.
    HERO bets $.80.
    Button calls for $.80.
    SB folds.

    The turn comes 10d. ($3.18)

    HERO bets $1.20.
    Button calls for $1.20.

    The river comes 8c.

    HERO checks.
    Button bets $5.55.
    HERO folds.

    Was the bet on turn too small? Or would you rather not have 2nd barrelled here? I wanted to see the river as cheap as possible
    Checking the river was probably not too smart, too, but then I had no reason not to believe I was 2nd on river?

    Make it 0.50 preflop.
    Make your c-bet bigger, I full pot this against 2 opps. A check isn't that bad eiter.
    If you bet the turn, again make it bigger...A7 isn't folding that. I usually just give up on the turn.

    Overall not bad. I make it $0.50 pre-flop and either $1.20 on the flop, or check and see what button does. I like betting the turn with the flush draw, but I make it a little more again, like $2 as played. No choice but to c/f river I think, unfortunately.
