DON'T OVER CALL
- Weakness gets punished at the poker table. When you over-call, you’re calling after the players to your right have both called a bet. Again, you’re making the decision to play some bad poker if you’re willing to throw in money just to see the flop. You need to be confident or you need to be out – there’s no middle ground.
Over-calling is worse than cold calling because you’re doing an even worse job of reading the table. You have two timid or weak players to your right – why would you just call? Your hand is either good enough for a raise or it’s not, so make your decision and stick to it.
