To aggressive with overpair?

To aggressive with overpair?

I wonder if I was too aggressive in this hand, specifically the shove at the end.

You're bluffing on the turn and river.

Learn the check button.

Remember, when you bet, it should be to bluff or for value.
When you can't bet for value, and not a hand you should be bluffing with, then you should just check.

This is great advice.

As another 2nl player and a bad one at that (not saying that you are, but i am), i really liked this old post and it helped me to think about the game:

I also want to add that you usually want to bluff less in multiway pots - the more opponents, the more chances that someone got something that's not folding, and they also "share" the need to defend, which basically means that you usually play more straightforward multiway.

For this specific hand, think about specific combos that they could have that call flop (and then turn) and then fold? What are the chances that both your opponents have those hands and not something that beats you?


what worse hands are you trying to get value from/ what better hands are you trying to fold out? if you have reads that your opponents are super stations maybe you can go this thin, like maybe bet/fold turn but generally you want to at least check river

edit: all in all i don't totally hate it but vs 2 players its petty thin. although thinking about it, it's not a board that super hits SB or button but you have to account for sets.
