Default Re: 2/4 B&M - Bet or checkraise monster flop that I capped preflop?

There are other reasons to simply call the 3-bet. It adds deception to you hand. Due to your position you'll be able to check/raise with more certainty on either the flop or the turn if the board is favorable. If the board is highly unfavorable you can get away from your hand more easily. When the pot is huge everyone has the odds to chase backdoor straight and/or backdoor flush and/or two pair/trips and you will get sucked out on more often. Obviously with the current board these aren't as big a concern, but we're talking about preflop.

That being said, If I were in late position I would cap this every time.
