Villain was unknown to me and had pretty crazy stats for a 6-max game, like 57/32 or something. He floated a lot of flops and would fire the turn when in position, so I was originally looking to check-raise. The overbet threw me off, as I’d never seen him do anything like that before.
Ordinarily I’m inclined to believe an overbet from a random, especially when it’s really big and over two streets. I just couldn’t put him on anything, though.
He raised so much pre-flop that I couldn’t see him open limping a pocket pair, so that ruled out sets. All the draws missed, and it didn’t seem right that he’d overbet two pair so drastically, though I figured if I were to lose that was the most likely candidate.

Andrew,
What was your plan on the river when you were calling the turn overbet?
I mean do you check to induce bluff as played?
It looks like he’s just gone into pot control mode at that point.
i think Villan was trying to get you off with those one pair hands. but his image ruined his story.
are you going to call two over bets if you don’t hit your “five outs” on the turn and river?
thanks
