Typically you want to overbet in spots where you are polarized and/or have a range disadvantage, since you either want max value or max fold equity. The HH in the OP seems a bad one to overbet on, since we have a range advantage on it, with lots of medium strength value hands.
Some other situations where i might choose to overbet:
- I have the nuts but villain has a strong overall range, or a polarized one.
- i have a polarized range that is weighted towards bluffs.
- equity denial in chop pot situations like a A
K
Q
J
T
board where i have the A
.
- Hyper exploitative spots where my opponent just calls no matter how much i bet. (or is money scared enough to make random herofolds).
Random HH from last night:
I pfr from MP with AJs, calling station flats BTN, i bet/bet/overbet on A922K rainbow.
(I have AA/KK/AK/99, he has mostly Ax which now has to call 1.5x pot in the hopes to chop).
