Message Board : Overbet shoves

Hi Ed,

On the front page you wrote

`There’s a lot of money to be made on the river in the $1-$2 6-max no-limit games on Full Tilt. A lot of the regulars miss value bets a lot, and they fold too many hands to overbet shoves even if you aren’t really representing anything too plausible. So you can get a pretty good edge on them by value betting well and choosing your spots where they have a weak range to shove. To some extent the folding to shoves is an ok adjustment for the games because most of the players aren’t overbet shoving often enough as a bluff.'

and I've been thinking about this for some days now. I'm playing similar games and I almost never do this. Could you give a few examples of spots where it's good? I don't really mind if they are spots where I don't represent anything because, like you said, they don't think about that.

I think we now have to pay a small 'fee' to get our answers…
