Cap 55 heads up on the Button when you 3-bet in the Small Blind? After all, you are small and I am the Button.

Re: should i vs. you >>>>????
 

no, i crush you with the perfect mix of semibluffs postflop and thus you getting me to fold 6-outers postflop pre-river is outweighed by me check raising you with QJ on KT7 and getting you to fold your pocket fives.

Re: should i vs. you >>>>????
 

but if you just call with 55 preflop are you going to continue vs. my QJ on that board anyway?

Re: should i vs. you >>>>????
 

vs me you should

You pick up pots where I win UI on say a AJ6 flop when I have K9 or K5s or 33 or whatever. This is assuming you fold there of course

Your eq vs my range is about 50% and I cant 5-bet you. Tho I can c/r flops of course

I start playing more honest postflop.


I cap all pps in position in that spot vs thinking TAG or LAGTAG

EDIT: Change that to "vs thinking but not too trikxy TAG or LAGTAG" Against really good players I am not sure its a good play.

It pisses me off so I think you should.

I continue either way

Re: should i vs. you >>>>????
 

against thinking TAGs and LAGTAGs I think you should most of the time. You gain more than enough fold equity to make up for the times they sem-bluff you out of the pot.

Plus people tend to run less semi-bluffs against cappers because they assume their is a decent chance that if you cap your hand pf you are SD bound.

I think capping small pkts on the button vs the right SB 3-bettors is very +EV. At least the kind of SB 3-bettors that populate this forum.

Re: should i vs. you >>>>????
 

vs me, 55 is nearly even money so I'd think you'd benefit from playing a bigger pot when you have position. against somebody where you have 42% equity you prob shouldn't cap though.

Re: should i vs. you >>>>????
 

how often I cap what I cap:
30% AA
50% KK
100% QQ-55
50% 44-22
100% AK
70% AQs

Re: should i vs. you >>>>????
 

"70% AQs"

care to explain?
if you were some random guy who just posted his 8th post here i would tell you this is pretty dumb.
