    Default TPGK w/ Overbet OTF

    Turbo NLH 9-max - $1.5 + $0.1 -- 0/10/20 NL Hold'em -- 7 Players

    We're only about 10 hands in, and I've never played with the villain before. On top of that, he sat out the first two or three hands.

    BB - 1,500
    UTG - 1,490
    UTG+1 (Hero) - 4,520

    HJ - 1,340
    CO - 1,390
    BTN - 1,630
    SB - 1,630

    Pot is 30

    Dealt to Hero - Q, A

    UTG calls 20, Hero raises to 80, two folds, BTN calls 80, two folds, UTG calls 60

    Pot is 270

    *** FLOP *** A, 8, 5

    UTG bets 520

    Villain way overbets the pot. It really felt like he was trying to prevent a flush draw. I felt like I couldn't fold TPGK here, but I also couldn't put the villain on a hand that made sense with that bet. I figured a two pair would bet something smaller for value, not something designed to scare calling hands. I just knew he didn't have two diamonds, and that this could possibly be a bluff. So, I decide to call.

    Hero calls 520, BTN folds

    Pot is 1310

    *** TURN *** K

    UTG bets 340, Hero raises to 1,360, UTG is all in 550


    I wasn't worried about the diamond since I wasn't worried about the flush. But, the smaller bet confused me and I thought I likely had the best hand. Could I have folded here, even with the pot as big as it was? Should I have folded OTF?

    I don't play non-headsup sngs but it looks like you flopped basically the nuts so folding is out of question. Villain's sizing doesn't look like he's gonna fold (and even if he does, the pot is huge at this point) so I would just shove otf. You have a very strong but vulnerable hand so flatting is not great imo vs 2 villains, especially because one of them is in better position.

    Nice.

    I would have shoved flop too, you're pretty much committed when you call it anyway. Not folding turn as played.

    I think I call on the flop to let him hang himself on the turn. Most of the time these huge overbets are just bluffs trying to get you to fold. Once in a while they are betting huge with monsters, but most of the time these are free chips.

    No way I can fold on turn after putting in that many chips with such a big over call on flop.
