Rampage Poker can’t help himself from blasting away whenever he senses weakness from his opponents. Whilst playing in a cash game at The Wynn, Rampage finds himself overbetting the river with a blocker to the nuts. Will he get away with it, or will he get his hand caught in the cookie jar and add another epic punt to his resume?
You should use overbets as one of your bet sizes for bluffs and strong value hands. When your opponents face overbets, they are put in uncomfortable and tricky situations that they are not used to. They have to risk a lot compared to what they usually face in their normal games, where people generally bet much smaller.

Preflop:
With blinds at $20/$40 the Villain opens to $100 from the Hijack. Rampage Poker calls with ATo from the big blind and they head to the flop.
Flop – Qc Jd 5d:
The queen-high two diamond flop gives Rampage a gutshot straight draw to broadway. He checks and the villain fires a continuation bet of $150 and Rampage makes the call with ace-high and his draw to the nuts.
Turn – 8h:
The 8 of hearts on the turn now upgrades Rampage’s hand to a double gutshot straight draw, as any nine or king will give him a straight. He checks and faces a second barrel of $260 from his opponent. This time Rampage check-raises to $1,000 using his ten blocker to represent the nut straight, whilst still having some equity if he does get called. His opponent makes the call, and they head to the river.
River – 3c:
The 3 of clubs on the river is a total brick for Rampage who misses his double belly-buster straight draw and is left with just ace-high. As we all know, Rampage isn’t one to give up on a bluff and he fires an overbet of $3,300 into a pot of around $2,500. Will his opponent make the call, or will Rampage get away with another monstrous bluff? Stick around to the end of this poker video to find out!
