. You bet $30. She calls. Turn 2
.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Bet-fold
You have a good hand with an overpair. Just because the board is paired doesn't mean you should shut down. By betting in this spot you can get value out of KK-99 and even some random weaker hands. So bet the turn for value. However, if your opponent raises, you can safely fold - unless you have some sick read.
