I get your point, Xhad. And I of course agree that hand reading is important.

All I'm saying is hands where you cap vs. don't cap the river after runner-runnering a boat don't come up that often, and that, when you're just getting started, it's more important to focus on difficult situations that come up frequently. These impact your winrate a lot more than whether or not you cap the river in this situation.

Now, I know you'll say that whether or not you learn hand-reading also impacts your winrate, and you'll be completely right. So let me just agree with you about that, and add that that I also think that learning to recognize spots that give you persistent trouble is also important. IMO, this decision isn't really one of them.
