Re: preflop
advantages of calling in that spot:
- disguises your hand strength if you do it with a reasonable range (which you should in this spot given expected hand ranges from villains)
- you gain extra info about the original raisers hand
- if it doesn't get capped, you have good position to protect your hand on the flop
- if it does get capped, you effectively have the button (get to act after everyone)
disadvantages:
- having the original raise fold is usually a very good result for you
- miss a bit of equity when you are ahead of their ranges
- maybe some extra FE if you cap
I call here much more than I cap fwiw but that is vs LAGs with even wider ranges who never fold for 2 more. I don't play at tables with multiple LAGTAGs to my right
