It seems to me that if you're not slow-playing here you're basically saying that one should never slow-play.

In micros, generally, this is true. In this particular instance, make the board less coordinated or give me a better read than, "somewhat aggressive and a little loose," and I'll go along with you. As presented, this is a raise on the flop for me, 100% of the time.

Well, I've found a lot of players like this will shut down to repeated agression on a coordinated flop and set over set is really the only time I'm leaving money on the table here. Here's how the rest of the hand went down.

Turn: (3.75 BB) 8c (2 players)
MP3 bets, Hero raises, MP3 3-bets, Hero caps, MP3 calls.

River: (11.75 BB) 9d (2 players)
MP3 bets, Hero raises, MP3 3-bets, Hero caps, MP3 calls.

Final Pot: 19.75 BB

So I ended up getting my money in. Is this cap standard? I figured it is since there are exactly three hands we're afraid of JT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 88 and 99. I figure there's enough hands that are three betting us, no?

Ok, so this is exactly what I'm talking about. There are two choices: either your slow-play on the flop was terrible, or capping the turn AND river are terrible. If he's bad enough that he's playing this hard with JTo, then you should have gone harder at the flop, because his range is a lot wider than JUST JTo. If his range on the flop is JUST JTo, then you shouldn't be going so hard on the turn and river, because he sees the double-paired board and doesn't care; on the turn you could be looking at boat-over-boat, but by the river that's not possible any more.
