- At what point do I put MP on aces and nothing but aces? Right now or preflop when he cold-called and then capped in a 3-way pot?

- Can/should I get away from my hand if unimproved on further street(s)?

I've never seen anyone do this except me. I have KK/AA here. Since I have never seen anyone else do it I don't know what range to use.

I've seen this quite a few times. It is always some bs hand. Never seen AA or KK here.

Re: Opponent cold-calls then caps preflop
 

This usually is a mid pair or a hand like JTs. I am going to cap flop and if he leads into me on the turn call down. If I get CR on turn feel bad and call down like a donkey [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

This exact hand happened to me earlier today, the call/raiser had AKs. I see fish do it with A-xs a lot too.

True

Re: Opponent cold-calls then caps preflop
 

This is not ALWAYS AA, KK, AK, but in my experience it's one of those a high majority of the time. The only times this has been something like 89s or JTs is from fishy players. Because MP looks like a TAG and because it was only 3-way back to him when he capped, this is probably AA a lot of the time.

Even if it's a good multiway hand, players usually give up on flops they miss. Unless you have a terrible image, if he's still playing back at you, the very worst he has is spades, so he's got a lot of outs against you.

If you know this player well and you're sure he's a reasonable TAG, I think you could find a fold unimproved on the turn.

If he's any kind of unknown, or your image is bad or something like that, then a call down could be justified.

Re: Opponent cold-calls then caps preflop
 

I think you are going to see some big suited connectors here often. Like KQ, KJ, QJ, JT. I can't recall having seen anyone TAGish play AA/KK/AK this way, but I guess it is a possibility also.

I would call down from the flop 3-bet.

Re: Opponent cold-calls then caps preflop
 

this is one of those spots where u just call down all the way and hope for the best.
i do see AA here alot.

I had a similar hand two days ago, button is retarded like 55/17/1 and i was on tilt like always.

Re: Opponent cold-calls then caps preflop
 

I agree that my opponent may have AKs but if he has AA,KK,AKs I still can't call down profitably (there is only one combination of AKs left for him to have). I really need to add at least AKo to his hand range in order to call down. If he does it with Axs the stats I have on him are very inaccurate but that wouldn't be the first time [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
