    Default Overpair Facing Ball-busting bet on the Flop--

    I don't know how to post hands here- but I'm going to try to get the info across. Background- this is a 6-handed home game, basically a ring w/ rebuy (chips = real money) but the blinds do increase by the hour.
    Hero is TAG, Villian is toughest LAG at table. Blinds .20/.40

    Villian is SB $18
    Hero is on cutoff seat $13

    Hero is dealt KdKh

    UTG- fold
    MP1- limp / call
    Hero- raises to $1.00
    Button- fold
    SB (Villain) - call
    BB - call

    -$4 in pot-

    flop: Jc 10s 5h

    SB / Villain - leads $3.5
    BB- fold
    MP1- fold
    Hero - thinks, calls $3.5

    turn: Jc 10s 5h 4d

    Villain- bets $4.5
    Hero- thinks, thinks (for very long time) ...

    Betting Pattern- Villain bets with weak holdings, prob. wouldn't come out so strong on flop with JTo, especially from EP. (he likes to trap)

    Tells: Villain talks a lot with good hands, acts distraught and confused over opponent; this time, silence.

    Hero - puts villain on AJo and calls, figuring the $4 All-in raise would be called anyway.

    River: Js
    Villain: Puts me all-in

    Hero Folds.
    Villain shows J9o

    Comments? Was is a mistake to go after a huge pot with a mere overpair, even if i figured I was ahead?

    raise the flop. It would tell him that you don't care if he does have a J because you have it beat.

    Flop call is fine, raise is fine too, depends on opponent and your image. Push the turn everytime and call river as played.
