Flopped Overpair Facing an All-in Shove - Hand Reading Practice #577

Author: Sky Matsuhashi January 19, 2026 Duration: 15:54

Let's improve our flopped overpair playing skills in poker. We analyze a student's hand history, then take it through the hand reading process by assigning a preflop range then narrowing it through the streets. Pot odds and equity are scrutinized, and we answer the key question, "Should we have called this shove?"

This is day 5/10 in a row celebrating 10 years of the Smart Poker Study Podcast.
