Over betting is a strategy and a part of poker. You can use it to take down a pot if you don't want to see anymore cards or on the river when trying to steal a pot or you can use it to make it look like your trying to steal in hopes of getting a call from a marginal hand. If you use it right it is not dumb.

Overbetting is only logical if you're trying to protect your hand. ex. AA versus a straight draw.
but in that case your not protecting anything cause your never going to get the donks that play poker to fold 8 outs when they wont fold a BS hand preflop allin or 2 n 3 outers!Quote:

yes agree, everyone over bet all the time. if you dont than your a donk.
i disagree with your logic... lol
A lot of donks love to overbet the pot!!
I was playin live the other day, and this drunk guy was over bettign eberything!! He was cleaning up too!
Overbetting works in FRs, and micro stakes. ppl dont fold. also, most micro games, the starting stack is so low, that you HAVE to big bet to get a stack, all or nothing type poker.
but overall pot betting and over pot betting shows lack of skilll... a pot bet usually means top pair, decent kicker, but can be camouflaged to mean otheer things. the problem is a pot better wont get a lot of calls when it matters also, risking 1:1 like 300 for 300 is a no good bet.
its kinda all relative, low stakes. pot betting might just work cause u have idiots that call anything, but if you wish to move up, i suggest that a pot better focuses on what a bet is saying, rather than hitting POT and then enter, like a monkey everytime
