						I have a recurring problem where I have a good hand (TPTK, Overpair), and I get into a situation where i'm not sure if I need to chase out the draws and punish weaker hands or if I need to limit the size of the pot against a slowplay.e.g.
 
 1st orbit, no solid reads

 Should I have bet the turn here? I dont want to let draws in cheap but I felt I might be behind with 2 calls. Would'nt 2 pair / trips raise or reraise that flop on quite a scary board? All comments welcome.
 
 Try to ignore the weak PFR (still in 100NL mode)
   
 Keep moving up to 200NL, keep dropping down again...
