Just wanted to ask people's advice about overbetting, recentlly I've been struggling in the middle to late stages of tournaments in terms of my stack, I always seem to have less than average chips, mainly because I don't think I bet enough into pots or push all-in enough. So I wanted to ask when is the best time to overbet a pot? The hand in question that made me think about this is when I over-raised with AK and got the BB to commit with a meagre A7, I think it's the right move because he likely to push with decent pairs or strong aces anyway, but with the big raise it looks more like I'm just trying to steal the blind with a marginal hand therefore I can entice a call from weaker aces which is what I wanted to happen, and he'll fold any junk anyway. Just wondered what your thoughts on overbetting pots were.
