Calls w/ overpairs, am I usually ahead of villains range?

[mieczkowusc]

I just started my trial with PokerTracker after getting a new computer recently, and I can't image how I lived without it before. It is definitely getting purchased as soon as the trial period is up.

I am not doing well with high pocket pairs, and it could just be that I haven't played enough hands yet, but I wanted some opinions on a few hands.

Villain was 54/13 over 45 hands.

Obviously, I am calling the min-shove no matter what, but my question is whether I am usually ahead here.

At 2nl an overpair is the nuts, in both hands.

Hand1- BET the flop PLEASE. theres no need to slow play these guys and they will just keep assuming you are cbetting with AK or something. Plus there are alot of draws, you wanna make them pay.

Hand2- 3bet that mofo with KK, dont just flat his raise. Make it like .40cents to go. Do not slowplay overpairs at these levels, you have the nuts, play them super aggressively. You dont need to trap people, they will hang themselves most of the time.

/edit In regards to poker tracker, its nice to use but i really think it gives more information than you need at 2NL. Concentrate on basic preflop/flop play, basic poker stuff.
