    Default Playing With High Overpairs

    I currently play the .05/.10 games at UB, and I'm winning consistently. One thing that's been bothering me though is my play on the flop when i hold an overpair (usually AA or KK). Pre-flop I raise at least 6x BB and more than that with each additional limper. The times I get into trouble though are when the flop comes something like J63 with 2 to a flush and i bet big or even push and I end up being called by a set. Now I know in higher stakes it can be unwise to push because you'll only get called by hands that beat you, but since I've seen soooo many players at this limit call all-in or re-raise all-in with anything from bottom pair to a flush draw is it profitable to play high overpairs this aggressivley?

    With QQ or KK it is pretty common to get called on a J82 flop by someone with AJ or KJ. It is a profitable play at the lower stakes IMO. A lot of people will call with hands a lot worse than that as well.
    Light years ahead of the competition.

    At those limits,

    You have to pull the trigger.
    If you dont bet hard, you get 3-4 callers and 1 of them will almost always hit.

    That being said, You have to take your lumps at those limits as the caliber is so low that people call with nothing.
    You just have to hope that those times outnumber the times you run into a spiked set.

    Players at those stakes will often overvalue their hands. Therefore, it is generally correct to bet your overpairs hard -- preflop AND postflop. Drop the fucking hammer.
