Why is this on rpolitics ? <| sep |> After 2 am ? Malice . Great late night drama . <| sep |> Depends on the pot size but yeah , betting here makes a lot of sense . You have the nuts , so any hand that calls you beat that means you want to make the pot bigger . A full potsized bet ' s probably the way to go two clubs will call that , as will top pair , as will OESD pair or OESD flush draw . If the pot was $ 2030 before your bet , then the fact that everyone folded unless you overbet the pot is just that nobody had a strong enough hand to stay in . If the pot was $ 810 , then yeah , you overbet , and the hands that would have called with worse now folded . It also might make a difference on whether you were the preflop raiser or if there was a preflop raiser .
