I've noticed lately that a good number of players are over-betting the pot on the flop. I have seen successful players using this tactic and have seen people trap themselves also. Any pros out there have comments on this subject? When to employ this tactic? Should I? Why?

After a rough month, I cashed out and took some time off. I finally have a few things to talk about so here goes.

I started playing BoDog again this week with 400 points and haven't looked back since. I entered the 400 point tourney and won, giving me a whopping $100 to start playing with. The second tourney I entered was the daily $30 dbl stack. I had a ridiculous chip lead with 12 players to go but lost with AQvs AJ (twice). I played well after that to recover but eventually lost with QQ vs KK o finish in 7th place. The third tourney was the daily $20 rebuy, where I had the chip lead (again) when we got to the final table where I went card dead. I was 3 betting from the button when it was raised from the CO, but it wasn't enough. I eventually lost with AQ vs AJ (again)! After that "hiram" and "daisyxoxo" proceeded to kick the crap outta me...OUT IN 7TH PLACE AGAIN. Bastards!

I couldn't sleep last night so I played the $50 12a tourney and I took 2nd place (getting better). The guy kept limping with huge hands and I just couldn't get there on him. So, today I played a couple $100 HU and won both.

I will try to post some hand histories and any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!
