I have a bit of trouble in these spots. We call to set mine in position or out of the blinds and flop an overpair. Now normally when I set mine and miss I have no trouble tossing my hand in the muck. But when I flopped an over pair it always gets me and I need to come up with a plan of attack for these situations.
Now when it happens and we are in position we can float and see what villains do on the next card yet this could get costly when lots of turn cards will scare us and we call only to fold to a second barrel. Or worse call the second barrel when another low card comes only to be greeted with a 3rd barrel or scare card on the river.
When OOP we can check call a bet and see how villain plays the turn but same as above lots of turn cards will scare us and if the turn checks thru the river could put up another scare card.
I should probably add that I hate to be the guy calling bets. I'm comfortable playing as the aggressor but rarely am I comfortable when calling an opponent down as I never feel like I know where I am.
So what is a good play in these spots? Am I better off just check folding if oop or folding to the cbet on the flop if I don't hit it?
