Overbets
Quick post.
If you live the rest of your poker playing days without calling down an overbet with a marginal hand, do you think you would be worse off?
How often have you seen a decent player overbet when they were truly weak?
How often have you called an overbet with just top pair or worse and caught a bluff?
How many times have you been burned by smart players overbetting with extremely strong hands?
Even though I proved nothing, I have a conclusion...
Conclusion. Don't ever call an overbet down hoping your opponent is weak unless you yourself have a strong hand, or have seen your opponent overbet with weaknes enough times that it would make your call reasonable (which is unlikely).
Beware of the overbet!
