Lesson 20 · When to bet bigger than the pot · 24 practice questions
Overbets (>pot) are heavily polarized — nuts or bluffs. Medium hands should almost always fold.
Overbet for value when villain's range is capped and you hold the nuts (or near-nuts). Extract max from strong hands.
Bluff overbet on scare cards when you block villain's calling range. Needs fold equity — don't overbet into stations.
• Overbets are polarized — fold medium strength.
• Value overbet when villain is capped and you have nuts.
• Bluff overbet with blockers on scare cards; fold vs overbets without nut blockers.

Board: Q♥ J♦ 10♣ 2♠ 4♥
Your hand: 9♠ 8♥
Best action: Bet
Why: ✓ You have a straight — bet for value and protection, charging worse hands and draws.
An overbet is a bet larger than the pot. Use it with a polarized range — strong value plus bluffs — on cards and boards where you hold the nut advantage and the opponent’s range is capped.
Overbetting risks a lot, so it needs the top of the range to be credible. Without nut advantage a large bet is easy to bluff-catch and re-raise, turning it into a losing play.
