BTN has to respect our cap & auto-lead on the flop........You also sometimes get the bonus of causing BTN to lay down a better hand when an A and/or K flops & we lead out. It's real tough for him continue with QQ-88 there after our cap, especially if CO calls our bet ahead of him.

this is where your analysis breaks down IMO. he said button has a proclivity to raise a bunch of suited crap so we probably do have immediate hot/cold equity for the cap, but he also said button shows down any piece of the board. this means button will very often be beaten into submission by the cap and just call down with with a better hand. what happens is we start firing each street on that A or K high board and in essence we start betting his hand for him.

i do agree that if we get raised on that type of flop it's an easy fold, but i don't think we need to pay so much to get there. alas, if i had the postflop skilz of harvester dave it might be a different story. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
