Hi what do you think about overbet in similar situations? All players have capped range and I think that 2x pot will be successful on low card like this very often. thanks

Ugh, there are a ton of Ax Kx Qx that would check the flop 4 ways. You are going to be slam dunked by the ones that were hoping to checkraise the flop and flat called by some of the rest. With three potential callers, and the entirety of them collectively only need to call not very often to remain balanced. Without crunching the exact numbers, I would guess that if each player called ten percent of hands you will only break even.

I like the overbet being in your arsenal, I would rather like it if it is heads up oop versus a single opponent who is capped.

I like it but not with this hand.

you have no equity man. You also block their folding hands ( like TT or 88)

Do it with 46, 68 maybe even 5x that blocks turned sets.

Not everyone's capped here. (or atleast, they shouldn't be).

Exactly. Overbets are vulnerable vs slowplays.

Not good, they are far from capped, any of them could have hit the turn set. MP going for the flop check raise with a set is also perfectly reasonable. At the very least you should have a 5x blocker when taking this line. Generally overbets are not advised in multiway pots because it's very difficult for all players to be truly capped.

You never have the nuts or second nuts. Pot, kettle, black.
