RE: What is an Overbet and When to Use It: Poker Terminology 101 from the SPL
That's a good article, however, I can't agree with a couple of things
- Overbetting in position with KT and TT2 on the flop after two checks is the worst thing you can do. Your play depends on your opponents but you either check back or bet 1/2 - 2/3 of the pot. If this situation was taken just for the sake of example, then ok :)\
- The point of overbet is to scare away those who have draws or bluff out those who have a mediocre hand, say middle pair or two pair on a paired board. To do this, you have to understand their range accordingly.
I don't agree with #2, it is not to always scare others away. Like you said, play depends on your opponents, and we have a wide range here in the SPL :-)
