Overbets and You

This weekend I had a couple spots facing overbets that I wanted to post. One for pure hilarity value, the other because it's kind of interesting.

Funny hand first, obviously it is just donk uberspew with the river being incredibly ridiculous:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed)
UTG ($114.25)
MP ($141.30)
CO ($170.65)
Button ($46.60)
SB ($100)
Hero (BB) ($100)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 10♦, Q♠
2 folds, CO calls $1, 2 folds, Hero checks

Flop: ($2.50) Q♥, 7♦, 2♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $3, Hero calls $3

Turn: ($8.50) 7♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $6, Hero calls $6

River: ($20.50) Q♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $160.65 (All-In), Hero calls $90 (All-In)

Total pot: $200.50 | Rake: $3

Results:
Hero had 10♦, Q♠ (full house, Queens over sevens).
CO had 9♠, 3♠ (two pair, Queens and sevens).
Outcome: Hero won $197.50


The next hand is against a typical TAG reg in a spot where I almost always have middling showdown value and he knows that. Unfortunately for him, given his flop check he can never have flushes or A2/AJ/22/JJ, and once he bets the turn he really can't have 66, which means no boats. So his river overbet range is basically {air} that really wants my marginal SDV to fold.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed)
Hero (SB) ($133.20)
BB ($158.75)
UTG ($103.60)
UTG+1 ($106)
MP1 ($151.80)
MP2 ($103.40)
MP3 ($134.35)
CO ($101.50)
Button ($100)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A♥, 3♥
7 folds, Hero bets $3, BB calls $2

Flop: ($6) A♠, 2♥, J♠ (2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks

Turn: ($6) 2♠ (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $4, Hero calls $4

River: ($14) 6♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $25, Hero calls $25

Total pot: $64 | Rake: $3

Results:
Hero had A♥, 3♥ (two pair, Aces and twos).
BB had Q♣, K♥ (one pair, twos).
Outcome: Hero won $61


Flames have won two in a row for the firs time this year, and are playing good but not great. Looking forward to being in the stands for the game against the Canucks on Tuesday. Patriots/Steelers tomorrow should be a great game, hope the Pats can take a win out of Steeltown.
