I dare to ask a preflop question
I was reading the discussion in this post and the discussion about 4-betting preflop with QQ, and it reminded me of something that came up the last time I was playing 15/30 that is specific to the 5-bet cap rule.
Bellagio 15/30 An early position player open-raises, there are three coldcallers, and I 3-bet QQ from one of the blind positions. The original raiser 4-bets and it's called all the way back around to me. I capped it "for value" against 4 players. This is a spot where I wonder whether I really have that much value to cap it being OOP against 4 players, one of which potentially holds an overpair (giving the 4-bettor AK/AA/KK plus an occasional JTs or other multiway hand that he's getting frisky with). |

Re: I dare to ask a preflop question
just calling has hardly any influence over how the hand will play postflop in a 5 way pot.
main factor to consider: equity edge or not |

Re: I dare to ask a preflop question
So many more combinations of AK than AA/KK + dead money = easy cap.
AKo/JJ/AQs is closer. |

Would you auto-cap QQ in a 4-handed pot with the same action? 3-handed? Heads up? The hand count isn't *that* favorable. 16-12 is about about 57-43, and I'm a huge dog (with bad RIO flopping an overpair) against AA/KK and a small favorite against AK. Considering preflop equity against those hands HU, 20% against 12 hands = 2.4 wins 50% against 16 hands = 8 wins So 10.4 wins out of 28 hands is hovering near 37% equity. The extra players in the pot still have *some* equity, and when I have the best hand, they're usually taking it from me and my 8 wins. So in a 3-handed pot it seems like I'm coming close to break-even and so this does not become an auto-cap anymore. Does this analysis seem correct? |

Re: I dare to ask a preflop question
Without trying a stove, I'd think about what kind of boards are likely to result in you being a winner. First you have the times when your QQ is the highest overpair and it manages to hold up. Then you have the times where you manage to back into a four card flush or straight that is good. Finally you have the times when you spike a third Q (about 20% of the time) and your hand holds up. You'll lose with your sets fairly often when they don't fill up and someone makes a straight or flush. Even so, I'd imagine your equity in this spot is 25% or so, maybe as high as 30% if the cold-callers are willing to play absolute junk in this spot.
