I was in a hand holding AJ, and the turn completed my straight. I continued with a c-bet, but suddenly faced a [I]huge[/I] 3-bet — basically an overbet. The villain had trip tens, and even after I 4-bet, he shoved all-in. The board was very draw-heavy. Was this move actually reasonable on such a board?

Oh, and of course — the river brought his “magical” card, as usual 😂. Gotta love the wonders of online poker…

But what really caught my attention is this: how reasonable is it to overvalue hands that lose to many combinations? I see this kind of thing happen all the time — even at events like the WPT. I’ve taken 5-bets from players with just top pair while I had the nut flush, and they just wouldn't give up the hand until they busted.

Another pattern I’ve noticed: players who tend to play this way — overly aggressive even when clearly behind — are often Asian. Is there a cultural or strategic difference here? Has anyone else noticed this?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

[*]Overbets with medium-strength hands on dangerous boards — mistake or calculated strategy?
[*]Overvaluing hands in tough spots — misread or overconfidence?
[*]Is there a real difference in playing style based on region or culture?

Let’s discuss!
