When is the correct time to overbet the flop? It can be puzzling for some gamers, however it is really rather simple. You overbet the flop when:

• Your hand is strong
• Your hand is susceptible
• No straight or flush is possible on the flop, however is possible on the turn

Let’s take a look at 2 examples from GTOWizard. Both of these are 40BB reliable, BTN opens, BB safeguards, then BB checks 100% of the time putting the choice on the BTN:

This is on an 852 rainbow flop:

And this is on a AK7 flop: Dark red=overbet, Red =little bet, Green= check These are 2 really various boards. One is a low, a little linked board, the other is a really scary-looking high card board. On the 852r board our main bet size is to overbet 125%, on the AK7 board our main bet size is a little 20% bet, however we have an overbet variety too.

The concepts of flop overbets

Dara O’Kearney In both cases the hands that overbet are most likely to be ahead today however susceptible. Ax mainly overbets the AK7 board. Ax is most likely ahead now, however any broadway card possibly provides our challenger a directly, 2 set or journeys. 8x primarily overbets on the 852 board, our hand is most likely ahead now, however the just excellent turn card for us is an 8.

Notification that ‘nutted’ hands like sets or 2 set hardly ever overbet. This is since they are strong however invulnerable. We wagered smaller sized with these hands since we are prepared to go braked with them. They are too strong to overbet.

Notification likewise that our finest draws seldom overbet. QJs is the very best make use of the AK7 board which generally bets little. 76s is our finest make use of the 852 board which seldom bets at all. We choose weaker bluffs like double backdoor hands, hands which we enjoy to fold to a push. We dislike needing to fold a hand like 76s on the 852 board.

Even if we overbet the flop does not imply we overbet later on streets. The point of overbetting the flop is to get as much worth in the center now, while our hand is strong however susceptible.
