Blind stealing situation
 

Villian is 36/20/3.32

My intention was to check raise the turn if a blank hits.
Or was my play ok like this?

I don't like the PF cap. I like postflop although I wouldn't raise a blank turn.

Re: Blind stealing situation
 

Why raise a blank turn? If he's behind, don't push him off his hand -- let him keep betting yours for you. If you're behind, why waste a bet?

And I agree with sharpie... the PF cap accomplishes nothing (doesn't give you information, doesn't clear anyone out, and we have no idea if it has value).

PF cap = very bad.

I did this because he tried 10 hands before s re steal with a three bet where i folded PF.

I wouldnt cap preflop. I would raise his flop bet and take it from there.

I don't know if I'm reading this right, but don't fold preflop for one more bet after being 3-bet (maybe PF means postflop here?).

I think it's okay to spew cap this once in a blue moon if the opponent is 3betting liberally pf.

These maniac caps serve two purposes: makes the opponent 3bet less liberally in future hands because opponent knows that OP is capable of playing back at him. In addition, if the hand does goe to showdown- whether OP wins/loses- he will get paid off big when he caps it pf with a strong hand.

Just don't do it a whole bunch [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
