I'm back from wedding fun and cleared off some important to-do items at work. Haven't played that much, but here are some overpair hands that happened somewhat recently. I really feel like I overplay overpairs, although in looking back through my biggest losers, I actually got money in good (either pushing or betting/raising), only to get coolered. Here are 3 hands where I'm either not sure or pretty much hate my play (you tell me which :) ).
Hand 1: Not many hands on villain....less than 40, but he was 38/20 over them.
$0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 5 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh)
SB: $50.95
Hero (BB): $56.45
UTG: $37.15
CO: $22.25
BTN: $32.90
Preflop: Hero is dealt Kc Kh (5 Players)
UTG raises to $1.00, CO calls $1.00, 2 folds, Hero raises to $5.00, UTG calls $4.00, CO folds
Flop: ($11.25) 6h 7d Qh (2 Players)
Hero bets $10.50, UTG calls $10.50
Turn: ($32.25) 3s (2 Players)
Hero bets $22.00, UTG calls all-in for $21.65
Uncalled bet of $0.35 returned to Hero
Note he didn't start with a full stack here, so I figured he'd call for 2/3 pot on the turn with any queen, and perhaps the NFD as well as possibly (but unlikely) JJ and TT. OK? Spew?
Hand 2: BTN is super LP preflop, although he's a little more aggro postflop (80/1/1.1 over 150 hands), and shows down a lot. He's run well, which might account for more aggression postflop than you'd expect for someone that LP preflop, and also why he shows down a lot. Of course sample size isn't that big either.
$0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh)
SB: $34.35
Hero (BB): $25.85
UTG: $24.65
MP: $21.75
CO: $9.55
BTN: $35.50
Preflop: Hero is dealt Qc Qh (6 Players)
UTG folds, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, BTN calls $0.25, SB folds, Hero raises to $1.50, MP calls $1.25, CO folds, BTN calls $1.25
Flop: ($4.85) 7c 6d 6c (3 Players)
Hero bets $4.85, MP folds, BTN....
What I want here is a plan depending on BTN's action. What is the plan if BTN calls and the turn blanks? What if BTN raises my c-bet? Finally, what if he just shoves?
Hand 3: SB is 20/8/2.5 over ~80 hands. I have a note on him that he got it in with TP in a marginal situation. Over ~60 hands, UTG is 74/14/2.2!
$0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh)
SB: $33.70
BB: $24.80
UTG: $21.15
MP: $46.25
Hero (CO): $37.80
BTN: $25.00
Preflop: Hero is dealt Ad As (6 Players)
UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.50, BTN folds, SB calls $1.40, BB folds, UTG calls $1.25, MP calls $1.25
Flop: ($6.25) 5s Jd 5c (4 Players)
SB checks, UTG bets $2.00, MP folds, Hero calls $2.00, SB calls $2.00
Turn: ($12.25) Qs (3 Players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $9.20, SB raises to $24.00, UTG folds, Hero raises all-in to $34.30, SB calls all-in for $6.20
I would normally raise the flop, but I wasn't too worried about SB getting ahead of me...I figured he would fold, and I was looking for a way to get more out of UTG. My plan was to raise his expected turn bet. I'm OK with betting the turn when it was checked to me, but I really don't like my push looking back on it, and I think I should get away from the hand. SB overcalled after a donk and the original raiser (me called), so he had to have a piece, and now SB takes a really strong line. Had SB and UTG been reversed, I would have liked my line OK. All that said, I was surprised at what SB had, but of course it doesn't change how good my decision is.
I miss my pops!

H1: I don't see a problem.
H2: I bet a blank on the turn and probably re-raise a flop raise. A push I probably fold.
Hand 1: I'd play it the same way.
Hand 2: If he calls then I'd probably bet the turn as well. It'll be $14ish so I'd bet around $10-11 I think. It probably commits you if he raises though so I'm not 100% sure about that advice!
I'd probably just go with this hand if he raises (whether it's a smaller raise or a push). Too many times you'll see a lower pair than QQ or A7/K7/etc. Sometimes he'll have the 6 but more often not.
Hand 3: I'd raise the flop here I think. Not always, but more often than not. As played, I check behind on the turn. There aren't really any draws out and I don't like the SB calling that much. If they check to you on the river you can value bet, or you can call their bet. It looks like the SB had a 5 but he could also be overvalueing QJ I guess. I'd probably fold to the turn check-raise.
Hand 1: i see no problem
hand 2: I would bet a safe turn card and if he raised i would probably just go with the hand.
Hand 3: I raise on the flop, but as played i probably fold to his turn checkraise.
Hand 1. Well played.
Hand 2. This is pretty standard bet all the way for value. If he calls and turn is a blank, i'm betting 3/4 pot.
If a Ace, King, or club hits. I'll bet 1/2 pot and see what he does. If he calls, I shut down and if he raises i'll probably fold. Very unlikely for these loose passive to bluff on a scare card when you show so much aggression.
Hand 3. Wow how come 3 bet's get no respect at this level? If so, I'm reraising to $2.5 to clear the field a little. (juicy table)
You gotta reraise the flop and see where you stand because it's a 4 way pot. Some limper could had limped in with a 5 and you want to find out right now if they have it.
As played, I would play the turn the same way because of your read on villian that he overplays top pair.
