Another \"ok to call preflop?\" - wrap type hand OOP
 

NOTE: It is a capped game. Cap is $80

Reads: This table is really passive. Lots of limping preflop and lots of calling with like top two pair all the way down. BB is quite bad, but not loose. I am fairly sure this is aces here.

I wonder if you think I should play this hand to this big raise from someone with likely aces. Obv flop came down perfect.

Cap at $80 means that you can't lose more than $80 in a hand, right?

Just curious, why would you play in this kind of game? Especially with players of the caliber of the CO in the game...

At any rate, call preflop seems fine.

Players give more action with less. Easier for me to play because in non-cap games a big weakness of mine is paying off with too weak hands on turn and river.

Also, $300 is too much for me to lose in one hand, in some kind of pscyhological way. Not totally comfortable playing deep 1/2

Well, you certainly shouldn't play with an amount of money on the table you'd be uncomfortable with losing. I've never played in a capped game and maybe it attracts horrible players. But still it takes a lot of the skill out of the game, since it essentially becomes a shortstacking fest.
In your spot I'd just play the $100 full stacked.

Cap games get me all warm and tingly inside
