Hi everyone! I guess standard play until the river (or maybe raise on the turn?), but I didn't know what to do there. What do you think overall about overbets at micro stakes?

Villain looks aggressive. It's a decent spot for a 3bet to like 50c I think. As played I would play the hand the same. If you raise the turn you get only action of better and than you need to fold top pair and the flush draw if he would shove on you. River is tricky, but I expect most villains over betting with a decent hand on the micro's and I would make a tight fold.

Cheers,

x/r flop comes to mind.
x/r turn comes to mind.
overbets are mostly nuts, at micros.
they are underused.

Triple check/call is a very reasonable line here. The problem is that river pairs the board, so you won't even fold sets (that now are full-houses) when you check/raise representing the nut-flush.
Folding OTR is exploitable and very costly, because this is close to the top of your range.
His range is super polarized because you block the flushes. So it is either full's, some flushes or total air. You block QQ which is good. Probably you'll find players doing this with AA or KK (overplaying). At NL5 you can fold this river and get away with it.
I also think calling OTT is much better than check/raising. You basically fold out all the air he may have. Besides, your hand doesn't need protection.
