I don't know how to play big overpairs
Any help here? This has been a leak for me for quite a while. I play party 50NL, and I cant find a consistent pattern. Here are 3 examples from yesterday. I just dont know how to tell when to let them go. I normally try to look for a ~half-stack showdown but it doesnt work out a lot of the time.
Hand 1. Bad guy is 60/17. I normally reraise a bit more than I did here, but I'm not sure if that would make a difference in this case. I guess I should reraise the flop big. Against a bigger stack I could let it go at that point, but against this guy I think I'm probably AI no matter what so I call and let him lead. If he lets me showdown cheap then I will. Or should I push that flop hard? I essentially gave him a cheap draw.

Hand 2. I dont have a ton of hands on bad guy(34). He's 50/17 at this point. He was playing decently for being that loose...but that's not many hands.
