Cap this PF

[ QUOTE ]
Since it was HU I didn't 3 bet so I could pop the flop.

This doesn't make much sense to me (and I'm assuming you meant cap). Why wait to pop it on the flop? The cost to him is the same and you are losing opportunities to make $$.

What if he held AA or KK and a Q hit the flop. If you capped PF, you'd most likely get a chance to 3-bet the villian when he c/r's you on the flop.

What if an A or K hits, the flop after you just call the 3-bet PF? Do you still feel you can pop it?

You lose info by not capping IMO. This info is also not at a cost to you since you'll be getting this info and still usually having the best of it.

If he did have AK, AQs, JJ, or TT here and the flop came like it did after you cap. He most likely check/calls or c/r's you (JJ or TT). If he c/c, then the pot is exactly the same. If he c/r's, you can 3-bet, or call looking to raise the turn. Even if you get weak and only call down, you still win more this way.

Capping here IMO is the best action PF as it gives you the best opportunities to make the most out of your assumed large equity.
