I don't get the 88 preflop cap. OK, so you've got Sporgitis cold-calling light and the other guy played really badly postflop, but you don't have anything to say that he's crazy preflop. Does 88 really have a big enough equity edge to cap?

I think the advantage that capping will usually have there is that it will help to define my opponent's handrange by their postflop actions vs me much better than if I were to just call. In addition, I get to push a small equity edge preflop but more importantly, this isn't the sort of opponent who I believe will resteal easily postflop vs. me even if the pot is very large, so I get to take advantage of the loose-spastic guy and the somewhat shortstacked (IIRC) guy who is 3-betting a bit wider than normal, IMO.
