'Overplay one's hand' nghĩa là quá tự tin với bài trên tay nên đặt cược quá mức ((in a card game) play or bet on one's hand with a mistaken optimism); hay bỏ phí cơ hội thành công vì quá tự tin vào lợi thế của mình (spoil one's chance of success through excessive confidence in one's position).
Ví dụ
There was a leadership overhaul at the State Security Agency (SSA) only when its ex-director- general, Arthur Fraser, tried to overplay his hand.
Did Putin Overplay his Hand over Macedonia Name Deal: The Kremlin's foreign policy increasingly seems to rest on the assumption that all countries are as corruptible as Vladimir Putin's Russia. This was evident most recently in Russia's alleged efforts to undermine an agreement between Greece and its tiny northern neighbour, the Republic of Macedonia, over the latter's name.
Undoubtedly, Trump will overplay his hand and overdo it in trying to make the point that the demonstrators’ theatrics are disrespectful to an American institution and show contempt for the fans and what they hold dear. Nonetheless, Republicans will use the issue to their advantage and hit Democrats for supporting the protesters, just as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz did to his opponent Rep. Beto O’Rourke last week.
