Andy Bloch on Playing Overcards
One of the biggest mistakes you see at a lot of home games especially where the action is super loose is people trying to chase down flops with just overcards. It always stings a little when you bet your top pair hard and see that K or Q come down and then they’re betting into you.
This week at Full Tilt Poker, Andy Bloch has an article on playing overcards , which seems pretty obvious mostly but has some interesting perspective.
Here’s an excerpt:
Another thing to consider in this type of situation is your position relative to your opponent. If you’re playing from position, you may want to consider staying in the hand even if you miss the flop – especially if you can do so cheaply. For one thing, calling a cheap bet on the flop might let you hit one of your overs, giving you what may likely be the best hand. For another thing, being in position can let you try and steal the pot away on the turn or river if your opponent shows further weakness on those streets.Andy Bloch
