    Default Good spot to overbet?

    Opponent is loose/passive. When he bets the turn and calls the raise I am confident he has a worse flush, so is this a good spot to overbet?

    UTG+1 ($200)
    UTG+2 ($221.40)

    ummm wow that one is tough, It depends on reads, I'm positive you have him beat. But if you don't think he can lay down the lower flush to a push, do it. Otheriwse value bet correctly.

    With ~$170 behind the each of you and the pot at $85, I'd probably opt for a value bet instead of a push unless I had a read otherwise.
